Absolutely incredible spot - really lovely service and a banging atmosphere.Food was delicious and really well priced, only complaint is that I genuinely couldn’t finish it all.I’d say best spot on the Roman RoadWill absolutely be back!

Super great place for food, it’s delicious and each dish is well presented. The smoothies and fresh juices are amazing. The atmosphere is lively and the artwork on the walls is absolutely beautiful giving unknown up and coming artists a chance to display their work.

Had an amazing experience at Cafe East as always! This is my 4th time visiting and it always gets better. The food was a delight, it looked and tasted on point - we tried the breakfast and yummy French toast . The drinks were super refreshing too, we tried the fresh orange juice and the Surprise Me! smoothie. Coffee was perfect. Has to be the best breakfast around, especially for the price range! A huge thank you to Naz and the team for the amazing time Best Cafe in London!

I just love the food and presentation. I don’t like only one thing is waiting hour. You have to wait outside so long for a table. Their food is very nice. Can’t go most of the time because of waiting hour, overall it’s a really nice place.

This place was divine! Initially we planned to go elsewhere but luckily we stumbled upon Cafe East with no queue and I'm so glad we gave it a shot. The service was lovely, not overdone. The birthday song by the waiters was also enjoyable. The food came beautifully presented and my eggs were cooked just how I'd asked. Pancakes were smaller than expected but with so much fruit also on my plate, the portion was just right. I loved the hash browns and grilled halloumi and my iced coffee came with crunchy ice - yum! Would definitely recommend and revisit. Just wish there was something to dry my hands with in the toilet.

Despite living nearby, it's taken a while to get around to visiting Cafe East, because the reviews online talk about the queues that I didn't want to contend with. Thankfully when we visited around 10am a Friday morning, we found the place to be quiet with no wait at all. By the time we left about an hour later, the place was starting to get a little busier.Service was great and food arrived quickly - another thing I'd worried about after reading the reviews.Both of our meals - the veggie delight and the pancake & berries - were delectable and well portioned and the presentation was outstanding. The vegan sausage took me by surprise as I was expecting an imitation meat. What I received instead I can best describe as a sausage shaped fried veggie mix. No complaints though - it tasted great!Great decor and great vibes all round - I can see why it's so popular!
