Edgar EdgarFebruary 12, 2018Great full English, very decent coffee. Prices are decent as well. All in all a great breakfast place, especially on a sunny morning.
MaríaDecember 6, 2014My favourite breakfast spot in Hackney! At least for this week. The truffled eggs are a blessing and the portions are quite generous. Mind you, the choice of music can be somewhat outlandish.
Daren WilliamsNovember 29, 2017Great brunch and lunch cafe, well prepared coffee using Caravan beans, dim grungy setting but generally welcoming and plenty of tables. Harissa chicken & avocado salad was delicious!
Alex Encore 📸December 29, 2018Big breakfast is totally worth it, great coffee too! Poached eggs could be a bit better as they aren’t as runny
hello_emilyMay 25, 2015The salmon omelette and big breakfast are both really good. Reasonably priced & good service. I liked the big jugs of water with sliced fruit too.
Ashley GilesAugust 9, 2018Harissa chicken and avo salad. Would recommend. And they do oat milk, which is great.
Josh TaroliMarch 5, 2016Go for the truffle mushrooms with poached eggs on toast! Just wonderful! (7£)
- Josh TaroliMarch 5, 2016Wonderful place for breakfast and coffee! Most breakfast dishes are between 7-9£
Serdar PaktinFebruary 19, 2019Good food, nice coffee and decent service—if the place is not busy. If it’s busy almost everything fails. :)
Karel KaaijFebruary 13, 2016I love this place!! They have poached eggs of any kind perfected. A great chilled out brunch
Amy WhitneyAugust 8, 2015It used to be good, but now it's rubbish. They've employed new waiters who don't know what they are doing. The service was super sloppy and they've cut back on portion size and quality.
Cyndie Da RochaAugust 25, 2018Coffee is good! The place has a strong smell due to the open space kitchen.
Ale TowerApril 9, 2017Nice eggs royale and you can eat in the sun, albeit on a fairly trafficked road (Mare st).
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 21, 2014their breakfast with poached egg and avocado is wonderful. Everything is wonderful with avocados.
Lorenzo FrattiniSeptember 6, 2012The sandwich with courgette, mozzarella and chilli jam is very spicy, but surprisingly good. They also make a very good iced coffee.
Brad TJanuary 8, 2017Brunch til 4p with guaranteed the most eclectic music mix you'll ever eat to. Food was just ok and cash only. Smashed avo and Smoked Salmon and eggs basically the same dish. Service friendly but slow.
Jamie CampbellJanuary 22, 2018Good food for lunch/brunch take away sandwich a tad pricey and not exactly rapid. Cash only too 🤷🏼♂️
DrewsteenburgJuly 24, 2012Awesome little place, evening meals thurs-fri are unreasonably good value. Menu changes constantly but my steak tartare was the tits
Joshua Lindsey-TurnerFebruary 15, 2013Try the veggie breakfast the tomatoes are awesome! FYI it comes with a big piece of avocado.
Pieter de MeerOctober 13, 2015Excellent dinner menu and good choice of music! They do affogado...:-)
- Elinor ThomasOctober 25, 2014Can't have enough of this place :) Love the breakfast here and the coffee is super good !
YJ HanJanuary 25, 2014Nice place but busy. Food is O.K. However I don't feel to visit again for breakfast or brunch.
Elena GROctober 28, 2017The beetroot salad and baked camembert cheese are really nice, but the main dishes were just ok.
Truffled mushrooms, that's all I am saying & that I liked the I.P.A. from Crate brewery.
Alec HolmesOctober 3, 2015Bit disappointed. Big breakfast was bland and the coffee was a bit dull. Atmosphere is also a bit off. I agree with the other review, I won't be back!
It used to be in my top 3 breakfast spots. I don't know what changed, but it all went downhill the past 2 months. Very dissapointing breakfast, won't bother to leave the house & come here again :/
AndrewOctober 27, 2012Unfortunately doesn't live up to the hype. It's a bit scruffy inside, our breakfasts weren't great - lukewarm, rock hard poached eggs and cold beans - and the coffee was ok. They don't take cards!! :(
Matt HopeFebruary 22, 2014Hey Chefs how about a smile for the customers? HINT: They can actually see you, yeah?
Andreea NMay 10, 2014Great food and coffee, but pretty slow service and sadly they don't take cards.
