I tried Eggs Benedict for the first time and found it absolutely delicious. The sauce, bread, bacon, and eggs all blended harmoniously. I visited in June, and even five months later, I can still vividly recall the flavours—it was truly impressive. I definitely want to visit again!

Quaint little cafe tucked in the lanes of the busy Shoreditch lanes. Gives you a very personalized feeling and the coffee is really great!

sabretooth: coffee & chai

Was told this was the best chai in UK and it did not disappoint!! Suki was so welcoming and lovely, greeted and chatted to everyone who came in. The atmosphere and decor was perfect, such a weak curated vibe. Cosy and chill. Will definitely be back to try dinner and cocktails soon.

Sabertooth serves hands down the best chai in London—seriously, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Each sip is like a warm hug with spices that hit just right. And then there’s Suki, the owner, who’s basically a human ray of sunshine. He greets you like an old friend, always full of positivity, and has this uncanny ability to make your day better. If you’re not there for the chai, you’ll be back just for him. If there’s a “best chai and vibes” award, this place wins, no contest!

Their chai is the absolute best, with fresh spices simmered in a big pot for hours to develop that rich, round flavour. And the toasties are super satisfying, delivering a full-on cheesiness that totally hits the spot (spicy tuna is my fave). Good work spot too, playing jazzy instrumental hip-hop most days. The owner isn't your typical service industry smileyface, but really rather lovely once you know him. I reckon the spot should be famous, but promo ain't his thing -- the reviews speak for themselves tho

It's such a lovely cafe that offers a high-quality coffee and unique but comfy vibe in the cafe. I really enjoy the experience whenever I visit the store. Definitely one of my favourite cafes in the UK here. I love it❤️

A hidden gem. The coffee and chai is amazing - especially the chai, which is very authentic. It is brewed daily, and it’s aroma imbues the place with a cozy atmosphere. The smell of fresh coffee and chai perfectly compliments the very relaxed vibe of the place: low-fi jazz and a cheery, personal aesthetic. The owner is thoroughly a character. Cheerful and personable, you can’t help but feel welcomed by his jovial disposition. I’ve been visiting this place for nigh a year; here’s hoping to another!

This a a small jewel in the area with the best coffee in Shoreditch. Friendly helpful staff and great breakfast / lunch options. How they turnout the food from this tiny space is a miracle. One day they didn't have any jam but offered us fresh sweet raspberries as an alternative. We pushed them into our warm croissant and have never looked back! 😃

LOVED IT! It’s my first chance to visit London and I wanted to knock out the main dishes - Full English Breakfast, fish and chips, and meat pie. I had some time to check in, so I looked up English Breakfast and this place popped up. It was a small cafe (in America we have big restaurants but I know the style here is smaller and cozier), and I took a seat by the window. I ordered a coffee and toast, and the Full English Breakfast. I was NOT disappointed!! Idk how a lot of other Americans feel about the beans, but I think they great. The sausage was bomb, I love the bacon. Bacon is different in America. In Europe, it’s these wider, rounder pieces of ham. Fried egg on a piece of toast then the roast tomato, thick hash browns and blood sausage.. it was 🤌 I noticed there’s not a lot of seasoning put on English food, but the flavor of the hash browns and blood sausage was great. The whole dish was delicious and somehow I polished it all off. Looking at others plates, it looked like everything they give is generously portioned. Overall, a great welcome to London. I suggest whether you’re a visitor or native, stop by this place to have a great meal!

Amazing breakfast plates, must try when in London! Ordered the Simple Breakfast and a hot chocolate on one of the coldest days in January. Perfect and totally hits the spot. A selection of fresh squeezed juices and a long list of side options. Love it and highly recommend!!

This is a most excellent spot! Came here for breakfast and wish I would have known it was here sooner during my stay at the NHow. There is a great variety of prices and offerings. I had the “Healthy Breakfast” and it was delicious. The cafe is decorated very cute and the coffee was fantastic as well!

My new favorite spot in the neighborhood. Such a chill, friendly vibe, plus perfect barista skills (he’s also friendly & cute, which doesn’t hurt). The pastries and food are delicious and fresh. Lastly, the pricing is super reasonable and fair. Can’t recommend this spot enough! Will definitely return when I return to London. 🙏🏻🙌🏼🫶🏻

I had an amazing breakfast at Rugged Bunch in London! The avocado toast was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned and served on fresh, crusty bread. Pairing it with their freshly squeezed orange juice made for the perfect start to my day. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot for breakfast or brunch!

I accidentally walked into the coffee shop and oh my word, It’s a gem ! The first thing you notice is the yellow walls and then you smell the coffee and hear the banging tunes in the background. Solid 10/10 for vibes ! I was also super intrigued by the coffee brand they used - not many places sell Curious Roo coffee AND I WAS IMPRESSED 2 days of flat whites and I’ll definitely be back for more

This is a great cafe. They have a wide range of brunch and breakfast menus! This is our third time in a week. They are delicious. The star of the menu is the banana bread toast. It tastes great. It looks like French toast with banana bread. Also the yogurt on it is homemade like all their products! They also have great tasting coffee. The owner is very helpful and friendly. You should go to this cafe and definitely try the banana bread toast.

Best flat white in the neighborhood and the carrot cake is divine. Have been coming here fairly consistently since they opened and have always been greeted in a friendly manner by staff. Lots of seating options and excellent WiFi for WFH days. Beautiful interior and a fresh weekly flower display that’s absolutely lovely (and picture-perfect, as you can see from my collection of them!). If I could make only one suggestion it would be to bring back serving a date with each cup of coffee - it was such a nice touch :)

Fabulous coffee shop. Warm and welcoming. Plenty of space and power outlets for those that want to work from here. The coffee is delicious and well made. Tried the Coco and ginger latte, which was quite different and very yum. Their pastries are some of the best I have tasted. Their service is fast and friendly.Well worth the visit. Will definitely go back.

Really delicious mango matcha. The balance between mango and matcha was amazing. They are not overshadowed by each other. I particularly like the refreshing taste from mango complemented by the fragrance of matcha. One downside got to be the price, £6.5 is slight expensive. £5 would be a sweet spot. Nonetheless, definitely recommend this place.

I went here two times now, once for my sister’s graduation and yesterday for my sister’s birthday. Both experiences were more than incredible, not only the food but also the owner Suki and his crew were fantastic!!! The shop itself is also super cosy and welcoming. Suki truly knows how to turn a “simple” dish into the most wonderful food you will ever eat. 10/10 recommend!!!!!

Just came here for my boyfriends birthday. Outrageously good flavours and creative menu. From fried bananas to spicy pineapples - it’s a pallet party. Finished on a cinnamon and apple samosa with a candle for my boyfriend - with no prompt. Came with a sprinkling of stars. Wonderful experience, would recommend highly.

Very good place, service is very welcoming, lovely atmosphere, and we didn’t wait long to be seated. The food portions were fine, homemade ice tea is so good! Burrito was really tasty, but eggs with salmon didn’t have enough salmon (as it often happens in many places actually) although being pretty tasty.
