Quick info
About Beam
Beam is a family-owned brunch restaurant on Blackstock Rd in London, at number 184. The kitchen draws on Mediterranean and British cooking, and the breakfast menu shows both sides. The English breakfast lets guests swap the pork sausage for sucuk, and Turkish eggs and shakshuka sit alongside it. Beyond breakfast, the menu runs to croissants, sandwiches, cake and homemade desserts. The owners source ingredients locally, and the dining room is a large space.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the Beam Benedict, singled out for its crispy eggs and praised as a novel take on a familiar dish. Close behind are the English breakfast, where one diner swapped the pork sausage for sucuk and called it wonderful, along with the mushrooms, and the shakshuka, avocado and scrambled eggs on wholemeal, and the french toast. Several mention the new breakfast burrito, homemade desserts, croissants and cake, and a latte described as delightful. Portions are called generous, and the staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, with the space large enough that one Sunday group was seated without waiting. The criticisms are small and specific. One reviewer found the pieces of meat in the Turkish eggs smaller than pictured and wanted less yoghurt, another found the bread a bit hard until it was eaten with the beans, and one noted no check-backs from the table. One diner took half a portion home for later.

“Beam Coffee It’s not just a beautiful place, but one that perfectly combines atmosphere, quality, and hospitality. The staff is highly skilled and friendly, making you feel at ease right away. Homemade desserts, croissants, and sandwiches make for an excellent breakfast. Of course, the menu is very diverse: Full English Breakfast, Mediterranean Breakfast, Vegetarian Breakfast, and more. You’ll find everything you could wish for. A coffee shop that’s perfect for meeting friends, studying, or holding business meetings, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere in a very modern setting. It also offers accessibility to coffee and restroom facilities for those who use a wheelchair. Highly recommended. Enjoy your day.”
