    Good selection of salads. We've been here twice. Once for dinner and the other time for lunch. The salads are perfect for lunch. For dinner we opted for something more substantial, tasty but not large

    Route is great for breakfast lunch and a chilled dinner the service is always excellent. its a popular choice so be prepared for a bit of a wait if you go at peak times.

    One of the best brunch options in Dalston. Impossible to single out any of the food options, all breakfast plates are amazing. Nice coffee and friendly service too.

    Amazing and very flavoursome foods. Tasted all the salads and recommend all! Veggie lasagna is one of the best I’ve had. Lovely staff too.

    Great brunches, great vibes. Both in winter and summer where you can eat on one of the large table overlooking the square.

    It's as good as Ottolenghi without the stratospheric price. Highly recommended for vegans and dabbling vegetarians alike.

    Visited a few times, the coffee and food are quite good but one of the staff was very rude once. I heard a staff talk behind my back for getting water from the dispenser as I ordered takeaway coffee.

    Mediterranean breakfast, Spanish/British breakfast.... It sounds weird, it tastes weird. This is a typical wannabe cafe...

    Nice place, nice food, but, alas, challengingly incompetent service. It's like one of those charming Italian comedies in which nobody's got a clue what's going on.

    Order outside your comfort zone. Trust that these guys know more about food than you do. It's like a Ottolenghi of the East.
