Pod's new eco-cool eatery in Lloyd's Avenue has split level dining and a sunny street terrace for summer months. You can find the same deliciously healthy, locally sourced meals like spring lamb stew and super food salad for under £5. Like the London Wall site, this Pod has a 'good garbage counter' where customers can compost or recycle their packacking (80% of Pod packaging is compostable, the rest is recyclable). Pod is open for breakfast (check out their organic superporridge and smoothies), coffee and lunch.

Read all the reviews.. please tell me they are not all from the company themselves! Shameless marketing and at best untrue.
Just got some scrambled eggs and toast and a coffee from Pod. Luke warm coffee - Scrambled eggs on toast means one warm slice of bread, and what can only described as powdered eggs / microwaved eggs.. And the coffee was awful (think McDonalds 1990's) All for only £5.25.
Very very poor quality, it is essentially a fast food cafe and in that genre it is a very expensive one. My advice save the money on fancy marketing and the PR person that does these reviews for you and get someone in that will actually give nice food.

Red, green curries are awesome, brown and wild rice, edamame beans. The indian salad is really good too. Buy 4 the 5th is free. Enough said really.

Low calorie loveliness

Always trying to stay trim and think I may have found the answer.

Pod does lots of great healthy food to kick start my day or power me up at lunch.

I love the Miso Sobas - a sort of oriental broth full of delicious goodies like chicken, spring onions, noodles and chilli.

They also make nori wraps. A bit like a traditional tortilal wrap but using nori (used in sushi making) which is super low calorie. I have not seen these anywhere else but they are lip-smackingly tasty.

The food really tastes good and doesn't leave you feeling lethargic afterwards. Love it!

Really lovely place for freshly made seasonal food. Pod does delicious hot and cold breakfasts and lunches.

I love the delicious organic super porridge and the smoothies for breakfast.

For lunch I go for one of their really tasty salads or one of the hot dishes like the thai green curry or spicy meatballs.

All of the menu is very healthy and it is all made fresh instore each day. Nice.

All of this plus staff that are friendly too.

My fave place in the City!
