    Just found this place and it's lovely - having a coffee and looking across the canal at the Olympic Stadium.

    Truly appalling service. Excellent food, if it ever arrives. Having to wait over 50 minutes for eggs(when the cafe is empty) is simply ridiculous. #gosomeplaceelse

    Ordered a drink but didn't receive it with my food, I asked for it when I was halfway through my meal. Finished my meal & still hadn't received my drink so asked for a refund which they agreed to.

    Closes at 17:00... strangely early given the number of customers who it seems would stay much later working on their MacBooks!

    Lovely setting. Food is pricey but okay, drink selection was a bit lame.

    Very delicious food. Shame the service was so slow: 20 mins to order, then 30 min wait for food. Speedier service would make this place awesome.

    The guy who took my order was either really stoned, or just really slow. Either way, I wouldn't come here if I was in a hurry. Nice coffee and a good atmosphere though.

    Coffee is so-so, but the breakfasts are really good! Get there early at the weekends to sit outside in the sun.

    Staff were so kind as to give me some tap water without an order while I was on a long run and had brought no money. Looked at me funny, but didn't let me die of thirst... :)

    The Counter has a great reputation but seems to be a victim of its own success. At 3pm on a Sunday it took 35 mins to get a coffee and nearly 1 hour for food. Won't be going back.

    Incredibly slow service. Almost 1 hour wait for the team to plate a premade preheated pie. The struggle is real.

    Great views along the canal of the Olympic park but the food is very average at best.

    Go to Counter Cafe. Wait long enough to obtain the window seat. Sit back and enjoy the brunch.
