Location
Pros:
"This place is located right by the coal drop yard, amazing location for a nice weekend or even after work bite/drinks!"

"This location is great for people watching if you're out on the patio."
"Lovely staff and gorgeous position in the Coal Drop Yard area."
"Great location near to Kings Cross and prices reasonable, especially for London."
"Located to the rear of Kings Cross St Pancras lies this regenerated warehouse area and the newly formed Granary Square."
"Beautiful area within a nice walking distance of kings cross station."
Cons:
"But don't sit by the windows as on a December night it's bloody cold with the air coming through the glass."
"The restaurant was also freezing."
"The place felt a bit cramped with tables so close together, which made the atmosphere more hectic than cozy."
Service

"Staff are friendly and helpful too."
"Regardless of that though- all the staff was friendly, attentive and very welcoming."
"Can't express how amazing the staff and service is."
"Staff was friendly and coffee was really good."
Cons:
"I also found it very odd when my friend trying to talk to the waitress she was talking to other people at the same time and while she keep her finger up and then leave in the middle of conversation without saying anything."
"The service was a bit of a miss, since it’s so hard to get the attention of the waiters."

"Terrible service, food arrived before drinks, not friendly or welcoming."
"No service whatsoever. The coffee was cold and tasteless."
"Service: fast delivery but unpleasant staff all around."

Food Quality
Pros:
"The fresh grapefruit juice was a hit too."
"The coffee was a real shock to me - I couldn’t believe how good the quality was."
"The fried cornbread here is something special. Great flavours balanced together."
"The kimchi pancake and roast pork dish was greatly enjoyed by my friends - it was really interesting! I had the jalapeño cornbread and thoroughly enjoyed it, the uniqueness of the menu is impressive:) the coffee was great as well!!"
"The food was heavenly!"
"The seafood dumplings were pretty epic too."
"The food is very tasty and beautifully presented with a few rarer items thrown in (e.g. jalapeño cornbread, morchilla hash etc) and the coffee (freshly roasted on site) is faultless!"
Cons:
"The food at Caravan was a little bit underwhelming."
"What you're getting for your money and the quality/taste of the food is poor."
"The food was generally good, but I've got to say, the fish dish didn't hit the mark for me - it just didn't taste fresh."
"I think I can see this place have the potential to become a popular lunch spot however I have to say the food quality and the service we had were very poor and the unpleasant food poisoned is the reason why I am leaving this comment."
"The french toast was a bit too sweet and not really 'french-toasty'."
"Expensive mediocre food, a wall of noise greets you as you walk in, not pleasant."
"The pizzas are always luke warm, never hot, and the cold rice served with hot dishes is a bit crazy."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Great “must visit” place when in London. The decor, the service and specialty coffee were all fantastic."
"Great atmosphere."
"The coffee is great too ❤️👏❤️"
"Really nice place."
"Love caravan kings cross. Amazing spot to meet with friends over a delicious brunch and coffee."
"You walk in and the decor had me just as quick as the staff did with their pleasant and friendly demeanor!"
"The restaurant has an amazing atmosphere and is bubbling with laughter and character!"
Cons:
"Loud disco music to mask noise makes situation even worse."
"Way too loud, customers packed like sardines."
"Acoustics terrible and sound bounces off walls."
"The atmosphere inside is busy with tables well packed in."
"It really felt like they've been hit by a lack of professional staff to the point that one waiter tried to argue with one of us."
"The whole thing was very confrontational vibes and made me feel embarrassed and like a difficult customer."
"Terrible service. It took 15 mins for us to be able to order drinks and then took another 15 mins for the drinks to arrive."
