Customer Review Summary
Matcha is the draw reviewers return to most, with the Honey Cloud Matcha Latte and the Iced Matcha Honey Latte singled out as smooth, creamy and well balanced, and the signature, tropical and strawberry matcha options also praised as packed with flavour. Close behind are the lattes, the Salted Honey Latte and a cherry and lavender lemonade, along with baked goods such as the peanut butter cookie, pastel de nata, pistachio croissant and banana bread. Reviewers repeatedly call the staff friendly, cheerful and welcoming, and describe a warm, light-filled, cozy room with plenty of seating, WiFi and laptop chargers that suits working or a break. One reviewer mentions hearing the story of the cafe's work with local beekeepers. The one reservation comes from a reviewer who found the focaccia sandwiches tasty and fresh but small and light on filling for their price, though that same visitor said they would return for a coffee.

“The perfect spot for inspiration and a delicious break! Early Bees has a beautiful, light-filled interior where you instantly feel at ease. The service staff are beyond praise- super friendly and always smiling. We had the chance to hear from Yulia, and her story about the business’s history and working with local beekeepers is truly inspiring. And the cherry and lavender lemonade is a masterpiece in its own right – incredibly delicious and refreshing. I wholeheartedly recommend it!”

“Forgot to take a photo before drinking half of it because it was that good! 😅 The Iced Matcha Honey Latte is hands down the best I’ve had in London. Smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Combined with the warm atmosphere and lovely staff, this little spot in the heart of Holborn has quickly become one of my favourite cafes. Highly recommend! 🍵💚”
