    Absolutely appalling MP. All she is concerned with is furthering her career. Offer her a photo opportunity, and she'll definitely be available. Otherwise, she attempts to wash her hands of every situation. She makes no effort to engage with stakeholders. You shouldn't be voting for someone just because they are Bengali. Votes should go to people who will actually fulfil the role for which they have been appointed. #TimeToReplaceRushanaraAli

    I have been trying to contact Ms Ali since last week, have an urgent issue. I emailed with the details they ask for (address, what the matter is etc) , phones and left messages (after the emptied their voicemail box, which was full up most of the time), sent Facebook messages. All I had was a quick message from a helper to email, which I did. No response. Not happy.

    Showed no care for my personal case which I need MP help for. I am now contacting the mayor as this MP is useless. Have been trying to contact her since the beginning of 2020. I think they are ignoring me on purpose.

    She hasn't done anything good for the people of Tower Hamlets. She didn't even vote for a ceasefire in Gaza where people are being massacred. She's not representing the people who vote for her!

    Perfect for a weekend brunch and vegetarians. Love sitting in the spacious outside area, which has nice views of the park. If I don’t sit down for a meal, I would at least pick up some sourdough bread which is to die for. One of the best sourdoughs you can get in London. The only thing I’d have to say is, that the Oat Milk Pavilion uses doesn’t go very well with coffee. It just doesn’t taste nice. Their food is amazing though. I wish I wasn’t always getting full after my avocado and poached egg on sourdough, so I could fit their delicious cardamon buns into my tummy. Seriously, the go-to cafe when you’re in Vicky Park!

    Invited to several multicultural community events and never even responded to the invitations. Mayor John Biggs on the other hand both responded and attended.

    A disgrace to humanity! Good luck getting elected, you’ve lost my vote as well as those of my immediate and extended family members, and my circle of friends!

    Most incredibly resilient business, adapting to every curve ball the govt has thrown this year to reflect what the people want. Providing benches as outdoor seating, the summer outdoor pop up, selling local growers’ and makers’ products, offering ritzy and herbaceous locally made hand sanitiser instead of the metho-smelling lube-like jelly you’re subjected to elsewhere... and consistently selling great coffee, bread and pastries in the lifeline that is Vickie Park. Thank you for being 2020 everyday heroes! 💕

    Messaged 7 months ago, and still no response. She seems extremely detached from her constituents and her responsibilities. They area could do so much better with an MP who was focused on delivering for the people.

    Dear Rushanara Ali, My family is infinitely grateful to you for your support throughout the case, we received a refund and Child benefit for our daughter.

    The food is good but some things are better value than others. Two portions of soup for example just cost me £15. It's tasty, but not £7.50 tasty. Also, and this is subjective I know, but Minor Figures is no match for Oatly.

  • 5/5 Ali H. 1 year ago on Google
    Rushanara Ali is a great MP... I needed her support with my visa application which was awaiting a decision at the Home Office for 11 months and she pushed HO for a decision 1 month after she wrote to them. I cant appreciate her support enough. Thank you Rushanara !

  • 5/5 Tracy K. 3 years ago on Google
    This café is simply outstanding, and a genuine pillar of the community. Rob and the team are always friendly and calm, and the baked goods and coffee are second to none. I can't eat croissants anywhere else now, because theirs are so good. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Paula D. 3 years ago on Google
    Fabulous coffee and today an utterly amazing dhal, sambar and herbed roti. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Chiara G. 3 years ago on Google
    Best spot in London to experience the local east London vibes.

  • 5/5 Lydio Costa Reis N. 3 years ago on Google
    Only take away. But very organised and fast

  • 5/5 Mikki D. 3 years ago on Google
    Winter adjustments are perfect. Big covered area outside, wider range of pastries, a mini on site deli and a reduced hot menu which really works. I can definitely recommend the new egg and cheese muffin.

  • 5/5 Beth C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, best local croissants and loveliest staff going around

  • 5/5 nina b. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 M G. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Great meeting spot with a yummy food selection and lots of pastries.

  • 4/5 Emeka N. 3 years ago on Google
    Enjoyable drinks and pastries, vey popular with locals who queue up in any weather. Won't say it's the best in the area but the staff are always warm and polite, worth a try.

  • 5/5 Milita M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent, delicious coffee👌 (Original) Excelente, cafecito rico👌

  • 1/5 Éva Mária S. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the rubbish hot choc, cheese toastie and tea all the time in the town just try to avoid. We bin it everything... didn't worth any penny.

  • 5/5 Erin D. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is the perfect stopping point for a neighbourhood walk. Their food menu is excellent and their coffee line is long but worth the wait!

  • 5/5 Kam S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good chai, good hot chocolate, good staff

  • 5/5 Binu S. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the Cheese Kimchi Toastie.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth B. 3 years ago on Google
    Cheese toastie...divine...and the outdoor heated area was much needed!

  • 5/5 Bruno S. 3 years ago on Google
    If you have never had a cheese and Kimchi toastie.... this is the place for it!

  • 5/5 Joanna H. 3 years ago on Google
    My local fave: whether it’s the breakfast roll with egg and kimchi or the lunch special... it’s always dreamy. I love my ritual of walking here with the dog and a friend, grabbing a coffee or a hot choc. Such a local gem 😍😍😍

  • 5/5 Andy W. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious coffee. Outstanding food and worth the price.

  • 1/5 Luke R. 3 years ago on Google
    Very rude doorman who made a sarcastic comment, we won't be coming back, thanks Mate.

  • 4/5 Sophia C. 3 years ago on Google
    Chai is a staple purchase. Naughty treats of pastries and a board platter of delicious, seasonal bowl foods destined to make you go for a walk in Victoria Park to fight off the food slump. They could do with indoor seating when the weather gets colder but a great place nonetheless.

  • 5/5 Mahmoud A. 3 years ago on Google
    good

  • 5/5 Michael 3 years ago on Google

    Cafe in the park.. coffee.

  • 5/5 alison o. 3 years ago on Google
    Love it, fresh bread is worth going back for. Great service, they use cards no cash, order and pay, give name and await your name being called to collect. One way system and hand gel available, space outside to site. Hands, face and space.

  • 5/5 luke h. 3 years ago on Google
    Good coffee and a couple of cool wood fires

  • 3/5 Jason T. 3 years ago on Google
    Lockdown rules frustrating. Otherwise? Always a nice place to sit, overlooking the lake.

  • 5/5 Lewis J. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent lakeside café, recently restored to a very high standard

  • 4/5 Dominic L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great cafe - friendly staff, good produce and prime location. Would recommend.
