Mila YankulovaOctober 23, 2013A wonderful new place with exciting art, kind people and mellow music. Perfect for catch up with a friend or impressing the future business partner.
Connie LynnApril 3, 2015simply love this place! especially the ID and materials used; so inspirational. seated indoors for a hot coffee or outdoors, fake grass carpet,by the Canal, sipping a refreshing juice ; always lovely!
Tobias WackerAugust 25, 2014True, food and service are not exactly stellar. However, you cannot beat working from an outdoor (yet covered) bench right next to the canal on a sunny day. Plus, wifi is fast and coffee decent.
Rick DoveDecember 30, 2015Great coffee, amazing breakfast, lovely staff, a welcoming atmosphere AND craft ale. What's not to love?
A really beautifully laid out venue, with a gallery space at the back. Staff are friendly and the beer is great! Would recommend the pale ale.
Masumi MSeptember 14, 2014I don't get all the negative reviews. The service was excellent and so was the food! Try the naughty pork and the benedict eggs!
George AbaFebruary 14, 2014Amazing food , the friendliest staff , great atmosphere! Beautiful night ... Definitely gonna head back there as soon as possible !
Laura DoraJanuary 31, 2015If you're heading down a canal path, you're actually going the right way! The inside of this place and the overall atmosphere is cool. Screw-cap Prosecco at £27, not quite as cool
Coralie was a great waitress. Chocolate tart was amazing. Smoked carrots a great taste and mallard surprisingly moreish
Lars RNovember 9, 2013The Storm Thorgersson exhibition is really nice. Tried a few times. The food is not bad. One girl amongst the staff is really good, but they lack a system and frequently gets orders wrong.
Nick BlackAugust 19, 2015Great espresso, low carb breakfast options, nice place to hang out and work.
AlistairAugust 30, 2014Great well stocked bar space by the canal. Paper cut exhibition is cool. Can't comment on the food but the coffee wasn't great. Shame really.
Josefina GaratJuly 9, 2015Good place by the canal. The tables outside are great. Tasty dishes but a bit small.
David C.June 8, 2014Cool place. Good food. The service is HORRIBLE. Disorganized. Slow. Incompetent...but nice people after all. Try the smoked beer :)
Anna MeerländerJune 4, 2015Great working atmosphere, good price value and fast wifi + gallery exhibitions!!
toniJuly 26, 2015Lovely spot for a solid Sunday pork belly roast, shame they can't keep their orders straight. Come with patience.
Toby SchusterFebruary 15, 2014Great new place in Haggerston but avoid pastries (most likely from the day before). Oh, and only because the staff "works" there doesn't mean they actually work there...
merici vintonOctober 25, 2013Order the cauliflower and mackerel and salmon and chocolate tart. Delish.- David HoweJune 8, 2015Eggs Benedict is excellent - coffee good too. Sadly service didn't match the food.
Karen SJuly 20, 2014Atmosphere and food were both really good. But the menu is very limited, and many things were not available. Staff friendly but kind of checked out.
Super disorganized. They dont even have a proper menu upfront. I think I pay different amount even though I always order the same thing: iced americano
A joke. 20 mins to be seated although there were large tables free, table next to us was sending back food and lots of mixups, waited another 35 mins to see the lunch menu (not yet printed) then left.
Mobile reception is as bad as the coffee is good, so get your calls out of the way before you enter.
Monica GarciadelaCadenaAugust 3, 2015Amazing place to work and chill outside, food is only ok and service slow
Some good small exhibitions here - and who doesn't love the canal?!
Quite good food but nothing exceptional and slightly overpriced. They are trying to do too many things but struggle to do any of them well. Great environment if you need to kill some time somewhere.
Anna WallaceMay 25, 2015Nice setting with plenty of outdoor seating. But slow, disorganised service so be patient
Valentina CiolinoFebruary 13, 2015The service is slow as there's only one guy, but he's very nice and helpful
Ingrina CarsonAugust 30, 2014The location and the interior are great. Unfortunately, service was a mess - so much to the point it ruined our experience and we don't plan to go back. Staff were slow, disrespectful, & incompetent.
João NobreJuly 28, 2014Extremely slow and disorganized service! 5 people behind the bar can't make things happen... The space looks very interesting though and has lots of potential. Great sitting outside
Much style over substance, disorganised everything, painfully inconsistent service/food.
Ana CamarenaApril 6, 2014We ordered at 13.20.At 14.05 we were still waiting for the food.We had to leave (same thing for the girls seating next to us).The place is beautiful, but the service is clearly not working!
Cyrièle PiancastelliNovember 30, 2014Service slow, disorganised and not very enthusiastic. Food barely okay. Cappuccino was mediocre, hot chocolate didn't taste of chocolate at all, fresh orange juice came from supermarket. Avoid.
- Samia AhmedJuly 2, 2017Shambolic slow service and the worst portions and food for such overpriced tripe. I've gone a few times and feel dissatisfied every time (even the pop ups).
Andrew McDonoughAugust 28, 2015Poor beer selection. They used to have pale ale but now it's all mass produced lager. :(
Nice chaps working there but not far from being the slowest people on earth #truestory
