Pretty small but lovely cafe with a very cosy friendly vibe. Totally amazing breakfast hashes – crispy potatoes and loads of cheese on top whatever you’ve ordered. Huge too!
Verdict: Awesome

Tutti Frutti
A pretty standard caff type place, but decent seating, clean and with friendly staff. Some very cheap options (eg egg on toast for £2), ok but not the best.
Verdict: Ok

Cafe Rust
Really solid cafe with a rustic interior and an excellent menu; eggs benedict in particular generous with bacon and happy hen eggs. Lots of nice space!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 50 Preston Road
Muse Cafe 2.0
Specialist in Italian toasties, which is a thing maybe? Anyway, it’s cramped but pleasant, and the owners are delightful, but it’s simply not worth the money. I enjoyed my ham and cheese toastie, but it wasn’t as good as one would expect from a specialist, and especially not as good as one would expect when being charged £6.20.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 37 Queens Road
Iris Food

V and H
Smallish cafe that we went to for breakfast. Food really tip top and very reasonably priced. Not their fault, but avoid Dalston cola! Only downside is not much seating so probably gets very busy of a weekend.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 63 Holland Road
Garden Cafe
The cafe of St Ann’s Well Gardens, a decent sized interior and loads of outdoor seating for summer goodness. Not fancy, but mostly pretty good sandwiches, chips and cake; just take care if they try and go fancy on the specials (an £8 mezze platter was fine, but tiny).
Verdict: Ok
Location: St Ann’s Well Gardens
Crave
Little cafe with attached off-licence/fancy food shop. Had a brownie and a drink and it was fine, this cafe leans towards a “caff” with bacon sandwiches and the like so would suggest best when you want that.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 232-234 Eastern Road
Bar/Cafe de la Mer
Seafront cafe/bar. Nice outdoor seating in front and on the roof which is excellent. Food tasty – tempura prawns, plaice goujons, tuna steak and chips all very nice. Lots of points off, however, for the pricing, which prices like a mid level sit down restaurant, and the food just doesn’t warrant it.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 124A King’s Road Arches
Moksha Caffé
Surprisingly expansive and welcoming cafe! We had vegan “Buddha bowls” – rice bowls of veg – and they were great. But they’ve a full menu with breakfast and burgers to try too. Great service as well!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 4-5 York Place
