Surbeanton

Cafe

👍👍 What a gem of a small place. To be subjective and hypocritical, it's small and cozy but probably would appreciate more distance between tables. Service is tad slow but that's what happens when the cafe is buzzing. The food tastes 3Fs. Flavoursome, fresh and fine! In pictures please see cibir, sha...

👍👍 We just visited from Paris - what an amazing place. Victoria is an innovative, incredible, and the enthusiastic Tinker Bell of The Canary: the vegan/vegetarian cook (food's amazing), muse and one of the founders of this hidden place on Old Bethnal Green road.

Claud W Dennis Coffee

Coffee shop

😠 Not all customers are equal: I've allowed myself sometime to measure my review lest I write unfairly. I have been a casual Patron for nearly 3 years being a local however during the last 3 months I started visiting around once a week for remote working for around 5 hours sometimes less. I have alw...

Hagen Espresso Bar (Hagen Chelsea)

Espresso bar

👍👍 Hidden gem in Chelsea! Barista helps you craft your drink, as there is no set ordering menu, based on your personal preferences (caffeine levels, milks etc.) Be sure to order a cinnamon roll as well; pairs perfectly with the coffee and one of the best I have had!
