  “Amazing breakfast spot! I’ve gone to nice hotels and resorts but I’ve never had breakfast this great. Service was amazing, really quick and food was exceptional. Good portion size for the breakfast with a nice drink. They have Halal options for the menu which is great. Highly recommend!”

  “A stumble-upon joy that must be recorded. We were wondering where we might pick up a late lunch after visiting National Trust’s Sutton House nearby and Google reviews suggested this might be worth trying. Well, what a surprise from the moment you come through the door; the decor proclaims sensitive owners who care, and are there, and that was confirmed by the welcome, the service and the food that followed. I can only agree with and add to the many praising reviews here. Worth deviating for.”

  “Wonderful little place for halal brunch - although trying to find parking anywhere in Hackney is a nightmare. The restaurant itself is aesthetic and spacious with plenty of seating. Didn’t have to wait for a table even though the restaurant was busy. They have an outdoor seating area which is lovely on a hot day as it was on the day we went. Large menu with loads of breakfast items and food was served quickly and presented beautifully and tasted good. Service was warm and attentive and the atmosphere was chilled and relaxing - just what you want from a brunch place. Look forward to returning here!!”

  “This is one of my favorite cafés in London. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxing, and the food tastes great and looks beautiful. I had the halal turkey rashers and beef sausage, which were really good. The pancakes were soft and fluffy. Overall, a great experience—10/10!”

  “There is a huge selection for the food here, and we really wanted to try everything. Food was great, and we were quite satisfied with it. I love how our orders were presented! Price was mid range (not too cheap, not too expensive). Service was good as well.”

  “The best pancakes I ever had! It was my Friend's birthday when we went there September and we had an amazing time. The staff was extremely sweet and accomodating. We went there around the closing time so the place was not too busy but we had the terrace to ourselves! I am still drooling over our Pistachio Pancakes 😋❤️”

  “Beans & Bites, Hackney – A Birthday Breakfast to Remember ★★★★★ My wife decided to treat me to a birthday breakfast, and she absolutely nailed it by taking me to Beans & Bites in Hackney. From the moment we walked in, the place felt special: a stunning living wall of lush greenery, warm pendant lights, and that perfect cosy-yet-Instagrammable vibe that makes you want to linger all morning. The food? Pure theatre, in the best possible way. They don’t just serve breakfast – they stage it. I went for their famous thick-cut brioche French toast mountain, drenched in pistachio cream, crowned with an upside-down waffle cone “hat”, fresh rose petals, mint, berries, and even a little snowflake decoration. It looked like something out of a fairy tale and tasted even better – fluffy, buttery, indulgent, with that gorgeous nutty pistachio drizzle running everywhere. My wife had the full English platter, beautifully presented with perfect sunny-side-up eggs, crispy halloumi, roast beef bacon, beans, grilled tomatoes, and fruit on the side. Every component was spot-on. Drinks were just as impressive: a silky hot chocolate with artful swirls and cocoa dusting for me, and an iced pistachio rose latte (served with a cute syringe of extra rose syrup to customise) for her. Both were delicious and ridiculously pretty. Service was warm, attentive without being overbearing, and they even brought out a little birthday sparkle without us asking – the little touches that make a celebration feel genuinely celebrated. Beans & Bites calls itself “The Art of Breakfast” and, honestly, that’s exactly what it is: creative, generous, beautifully executed dishes in a space that feels like a mini escape from London life. If you want a breakfast (or brunch) that’s as much a treat for the eyes as it is for the taste buds, this is the spot. Thank you to my wonderful wife for the perfect birthday morning, and huge thanks to the team at Beans & Bites for making it unforgettable. We’ll be back – probably sooner than our waistlines would like! 😄 Highly, highly recommended.”

  “Absolutely amazing brunch place. From the moment we walked in, some of the staff were warm and welcoming. However one staff in particular just placed the menu down in front of us without speaking to us or even looking at us. It was also pretty hard to call a waiter when you needed one. But besides that everything else was fine. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant perfect for a relaxed brunch date. We ordered the Farmer’s breakfast, the Mediterranean Splash and the Oreo cookies and cream pancake. For drinks we ordered a hot chocolate, a raspberry heaven smoothie and a passion storm smoothie. The Raspberry heaven smooth included Raspberries, blueberries, mango, apple and the Passion storm included Passionfruit, papaya, pineapple, peach, guava, aloe vera. The mug they served the hot chocolate in was so pretty I wanted to take it home with me. The food was amazing, so many differently flavours all nicely meshed together. The meal was definitely filling. We didn’t find anything wrong with our meal, it was so good that once we finished it we wanted to get more of the same thing. Instead we tried the Oreo pancake, and it was too good. It wasn’t too sweet and it didn’t lack sweetness either, it was the perfect mix. One of the best, actually no, they are best the best pancakes I’ve ever tasted, I must have more. I’ll definitely be back and I’d order both again, because I can’t choose between the two. It is on the pricier side but I don’t regret it. You can tell they put real care into every detail, from the service to the plating. This place has definitely become my new go-to brunch spot. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and great aesthetics. I didn’t get much pictures inside because I was too busy stuffing my face but the decor is really nice. They’ve also got an extension in the back that opens up into a sunroom kind of thing, which is quite nice. The restaurant is spacious and is kept very clean. We went back to Beans and Bites because of how much I like their pancakes but the Orion size was significantly smaller. The first time I can I got 5 pancakes, this time around I only got 3. Very disappointed with the downgrade especially since it’s still £15. £15 for 5 pancakes is good £15 for 3 is disrespectful.”
