Best sourdough cheese melt! I stumbled upon this place while walking to nearby Waitrose. The queue caught my attention. at first I just want to grab a latte, but after seeing two people ahead of me ordering the sourdough cheese melt, I decided to give it a try too. It turned out to be a truly amazing choice! 😋🧀🍞 The blend of flavors was exceptional, and I'm glad I discovered this gem by chance! 😊👍🏻

I just moved into an office nearby and was looking for places for lunch that wasn't just your standard pret or supermarket meal deal. This is the place! Lovely selection of sandwiches. On my first visit a person that works there commented that they're known for their cheese toasties. Came back to get one on my second visit - and it's the best cheese toastie I've had! Really fantastic.

The BEST focaccia I’ve ever had! and it’s vegan! Their sandwiches are all vegan and vegetarian but get there early for the best selection. They also serve coffee and baked goods. I highly recommend!

It’s a cute little cafe, love it. We opted for a strawberry lemonade which tasted amazing and wow their cookies were so soft. I’m definitely coming back to try more of the bakery 😍😍

I’ve been coming to Etre at least once a week for about 6 months (I’ve filled up a LOT of loyalty cards!). The staff are all so lovely, and it’s the best coffee in the area!🥺⭐️ They do iced versions of their coffee menu, and a range of alternative milks.🧊 Their snacks are very, very dangerously good (I love the hazelnut cookies and cinnamon buns, the focaccia is also yummy). It’s just such a lovely place to have in the area and with a very aesthetic inside, and a calming environment. Couldn’t recommend enough.🫶🏼

My favourite cafe in East London! The staff is very friendly & the homemade cookies are delicious! I highly recommend the pistachio cookie. The place is beautifully decorated & aesthetically pleasing. Drinks are very good and diverse.

The food is really good. We ate from the Argentinian grill and the homemade pasta. The food is pretty expensive for some products and the fries are really salty. I loved it I am coming back ofc. I hope you like it as much as I did.

We got together to celebrate a Birthday and it was the Best, we had all ages attending and we all found something to eat and it was so good, but there is so much food you can choose from you have to come back !!!! The atmosphere is brilliant, there are side rooms with live music, a Boxclub and probably more that we didn’t see !!! Staff are friendly depending to what bar you go, the staff at the food booth are super friendly and the ones clearing the tables well they don’t like there jobs because they are really unfriendly!!!

Super cool area with lots of great food and drink options. Love the indoor and outdoor vibes. Various different food stalls from Chinese to Caribbean to Italian to khazak to whatever else you can think of! Very conveniently located on the bakerloo line. We had the jerk chicken and a smash burger, both were really good. Will be back to try more!

This has to be one of London's most fantastic hidden gems! The vibe is amazing! The food we tried was fantastic and made me wish my stomach was 178x larger in order to have more. Had some of the best mojitos ever there. Would recommend this place to everyone.

This was my first time eating at this restaurant as I chose to come in the afternoon luckily there was no queue, the food was very tasty and I will put the photos below, the add spinach, bacon and cheese was delicious and a large portion which was totally filling and the fried calamari was very crispy. Regarding drinks, I ordered the mango & avocado milkshake which was very refreshing and tasty, the hot chocolate pulls were lovely, the clerk who served me was Nemo and was very welcoming and lovely, it was a great meal! Recommended to anyone who wants to come and try it.

Great vegetarian full English breakfast. The coffee was decent, service fast and efficient. Great atmosphere and a perfect start to a day full of sightseeing. Berry smoothie was a bit more sour than expected. Portion size is enough to share if you are not that hungry in the mornings.

There is a line for a reason. We came here for coffee on multiple occasions. The food and the coffee here is delicious. I was not expecting to enjoy a Turkey bacon omelette as much as I did. Lots of people ordering English breakfast too and that looked good also. The menu for dinner looks great too, I will be back to try it.

The best burger in London that I've never tried in this city. Ordered the signature burger, jerk chicken and east classic. Juicy and tasty with fresh and appropriate ingredients. Secret sauce for burger and chips that U can't miss. Plus, nice latte and hot choco. Surely come back again!❣️

A lovely cafe in wapping - perhaps my favorite! The food and drinks are all so fairly priced and they have really good vegan options. My friend and I had their lemon and blueberry cake which was so good. My personal favorite was their curried cauliflower and chickpea toast is (only £4.20!) which was so delicious and vegan! I would definitely recommend this place for a nice lunch or coffee. They have limited seating, but we were easily able to find a place to sit as I found that most customers got takeaway.

Stopped here for late breakfast. The area belies the beautiful ambience of this gem of a cafe. The staff were very friendly and engaging; lots of amazing savoury and sweet choices for breakfast and the coffee was delicious, hot and plentiful. The quality and quantity of our food choices were very excellent. This place is well worth a detour.

We came here for brunch on Sunday, which is the busiest time of the week, but we did not wait more than 4 minutes to get a table for two! During the waiting time we enjoyed reading the signs on the walls, which were very funny. The service was super fast, which is unusual for a busy and popular cafe, we were very pleased. The coffee, like everything else in the cafe, was really nice and had a personal touch (see photo) and the brunch was well balanced, with fresh ingredients and very delicious. It is very nice to see such a successful local business that make an impact on the community.

Fantastic food, amazing service, a special thank you to the waitresses that serves us. Coming here with my Italian mates to let the try a little taste of authentic Londonaise English Breakfast. The place is super cute, we got lucky and we had the downstairs area all by ourselves. We were 4 at the beginning, and 2 join later on. No problem at all as the waitress patiently take the order of this two people later on. Big smile, big charm and super kind fully, thank you very much to the team of this little jam of London. You were amazing. 5/5 suggest to try. Price : the average cost was 25£ p/person with breakfast, smoothies/juices and coffee.

Stumbled across this café by pure chance after visiting White Cube down the road from it. Safe to say I will be returning because the service, atmosphere and food were all wonderful! Ordered a sourdough ham & cheese toastie which was made quickly and tasted phenomenal. I saw on the menu that many latte options are available and I look forward to trying the matcha latte next time! Thank you Chapter 72; see you soon! ❤️

Had a great time at Chapter 72! Ellie was absolutely fantastic! She served one of the best (Blood Orange) Negroni I've ever had! Perfectly balanced and expertly crafted. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made for a great night out. I’ll definitely be back!

An absolutely perfect spot for a nice bite for breakfast. Quick service and really lovely bite to start your day. Seats outside especially on a lovely warm day allow you to wander along the waves as you watch the boats go in and out whilst eating a delicious snack. Was really a nice place and good value for money.

Do not be put off by the rather unpleasant entrance, inside this is a delightful pub with heaps of character overlooking the river. Being a Sam Smiths pub there is a lack of choice of drinks. I ordered an Old Brewery at £6, it was OK. They have a large exterior terrace with great river views. Even if you are not a fan of Sam Smiths I would recommend you visit this pub, even if for only one drink.

I came for dinner and drinks this evening with my friend. We were warmly welcomed by Brian in the restaurant upstairs and his enthusiasm and attentive service really made our evening. The food was fantastic - we had the fish and chips and the Korean burger and fries. For a mid-January evening, the atmosphere was fun with groups of friends catching up. The views of the river at night were gorgeous. All the staff were friendly and we will definitely be back!

Great historic pub. Lots of outdoor seating and a great view of the river and boats. Services are a bit unique u have to order food and drinks at the bar on the main floor and then tell them which table number you are at. They have all the classics like fish and chips etc.it took a while to get the food which was good tho. great beer selection we had a bitter and a stout which were excellent 👌💂🐟🍻

Lovely pub to pop into for a drink or two. The pub itself is well maintained and feels welcoming. The location is beautiful. I have been several times now and always had a generally good experience. I’ve eaten a few times here and it’s on the more expensive side. I’d recommend heading to town of ramsgate nearby for better value food. Bathrooms pretty clean, and the outside seating is lovely in the summer! Was pretty hot and stuffy inside though in the winter 🥵 However on my last visit there was only one bartender behind the bar and a queue of around 10 people waiting to be served, that being said, the staff are always very friendly!
