Reviews - Poached
Reviews summary
Beckenham's café offers an intriguing experience, showcasing exceptional coffee and delicious food that keeps patrons coming back. However, the service suffers from inconsistent attitudes, particularly from a barista who often prioritizes friends and displays rudeness. While the cafe’s cozy atmosphere appeals to families and pets alike, concerns arise over hygiene practices observed in the open kitchen. Despite these drawbacks, loyal customers recognize the café's charm, citing its small yet delightful menu, particularly the standout seasonal items. For those seeking quality coffee and a vibrant vibe, this café remains a must-visit, albeit with some reservations.

smart little menu. as soon as they get to understand that the portions will always be on the smaller side, they want to return for the pretzel baking and homemade chili jam. the coffee is not after my taste, but as mentioned, I came for the Bretzel rolls and homemade chili jam (bottles of which can be bought seperately).

I came across this hidden gem and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere is cozy, the food is excellent, and the service is friendly. They're also dog-friendly, so I got to see some adorable faces while I enjoyed an amazing brunch. I will definitely return.

It is disappointing because this cafe has the best coffee in Beckenham and delicious food. Despite being loyal customers for years, the poor service really affects the overall atmosphere and now, I hesitate to go back.
We’ve been enjoying Poached for a few months now the quality of their menu is consistent and delicious! Have just enjoyed a Valentines breakfast that has filled my belly and my heart! Very thoughtful and always customer focused. Well done hope your business goes from strength to strength x
The barista at this restaurant was rude and unaccommodating, with curly hair and a foreign accent. She refused to cook vegetarian food separately and couldn't make a good latte. She was a drama queen and should be fired.
This places offers the best coffee in Beckenham, it’s never too hot and tastes burnt. Always just right. But ask for the large size, as the regular is too small for me personally. And have you seen the size of their pastries…erm hello! Great value for money.

Great coffee and the food is amazing. Lovely matcha latte as well. The staff are always friendly and its a small place but has a nice vibe.
