The Gorilla Café
Good Coffee. Great Food.
Welcome to The Gorilla Café
Led by our café manager Betina and her brilliant team of baristas, The Gorilla Café serves up a fresh, seasonal menu for breakfast, brunch and lunch every working day. Our Greek chef Apostolos works his magic in the kitchen, delivering a daily menu packed with crowd-pleasers – from Eggs Benedict and avo on toast to fresh chicken wraps, sun-dried tomato & goat’s cheese focaccia, plus a salad bar that’s anything but boring.
Coffee lovers, rejoice. After extensive taste-testing (tough job, we know), we proudly serve Volcano Coffee Works. Enjoy it in the café, grab a bag to take home or level up your caffeine game with a Huddle x Frank Green travel mug for coffee on the move. You can pick up a jar of honey from our 3 Shortlands rooftop bee hives whilst you’re here, too.
Need catering? We’ve got you covered. From sandwich platters for meetings to summer parties on the garden terrace, events in our 45-person auditorium, or treats for a special occasion (or just because).
You’ll find The Gorilla Café on the ground floor of 3 Shortlands. The perfect pitstop for Huddle members, Hammersmith Campus colleagues and locals alike. We’re open Monday to Friday, but fair warning… lunchtime gets busy, so don’t hang about.

Drinks
Coffee, matcha to go, cold brews, smoothies. Pick your potion, we’ve got you covered. Sip, stroll, or stay awhile. You’re always welcome.

Food
Banana bread loaves and avo on toast to our infamous chicken wraps. We’ve got something to tempt every tastebud.

Catering
From sandwiches to cakes to event catering, we’ll sort the food so you can focus on the big stuff. Meetings, events, functions…consider it done.
Looking for somewhere to work a little longer?
Upstairs in Huddle, we’ve got coworking desks, bookable meeting rooms and private offices. With Day Passes from £30 to flexible longer-term packages, we have something that works for you.
