This charming family-owned restaurant is a lovely spot with friendly service and amazing coffee. We stopped by after exploring the bustling Columbia Road flower market nearby. View all feedback.
What YamS60 dislikes about Caffe-in:
It’s a cute space but the black tea I ordered was horrible. First of all it’s a tea bag in a cup so no flavour. Second of all the hot water they used wasn’t hot enough for making tea... no love at all. Ladies at the café seemed nice but them and a guy were chatting non stop behind the counter so I couldn’t have relaxed time at all. They also left the door open although it was cold outside. I won’t go back again. View all feedback.

We stopped in after checking in to our Airbnb. We were warmly greeted by smiling faces and delicious smelling and looking pastries. We got the falafel and hummus wrap, and sausage ciabatta panini. Each had a tasty vegetable side salad. Portions were generous. We also got some awesome pastries to take back for breakfast. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection
Don’t really understand the hype, tried this place twice and both times the cakes were kinda dry and the taste if very mid. Disappointed as they looked great on the stand. Won’t be going again.

The restaurant is very cozy, perfect to start the day. For those who prefer the salt, where they want to test breakfast in English, it is an ideal address. Quality and hospitality are present and we have even chosen to stop there every morning during our stay. I strongly recommend this restaurant to those who need to take strength for a long day to visit London or even for the premises that want to bring a great deal of softness in their daily life.
I went for breakfast after the flower market one Sunday morning. I was looking for a place to sit down and they suggested that I eat outside the tilted top of a vertical piano. I shared a table with some pretty women. I ordered Florentine eggs. Florentine eggs is a classic recipe, don't worry about it. He came with a few raw spinach leaves. I reflected that the Florentine eggs were a classic dish that included cooked spinach. Obviously, one of the advantages of serving the crude spinach is that you have to provide much less. I was told that they could not cook the spinach! . They referred to the menu that said spinach as if thad had alerted me to the fact that it would be raw. I suggested that if you want to leave a classic recipe, you should say it in the menu. I didn't want the Florentine nouveau eggs. My blood was upstairs. I left 3.50 for a 2.50 coffee at the table. When I came out, I said I left money at the table. All the waitress could say was the payment is at the counter. It's just all the trash. The point where I left, the only other people there were the two good ladies. Was it too much to pick up the coffee price more if I can say, in the circumstances, generous tip of the table? Is there hipsters out there who want to have a Sunday morning at the top of a vertical piano? Good luck to you. There is a point where the Bohemians become strings.
The food here is delicious and the style is insurmountable, however, which would be a great contribution to the cafes on Hackney Road, the staff is very rude. There are no signs indicating that laptops are not allowed here during the weekend. But don't worry, because as soon as your meal is over, the staff will come and tell you this. I spent 9. 00 on this simple but well designed menu, thinking that this would allow me to be here for a while and respecting the companies, it is necessary for the customers to pay this space. There was a long gap between the food and me that arrived, so the waitress apologized, however, as soon as I finished my meal, my empty dish was picked up with the accusation that "I had been here for more than an hour and that she was losing customers."It had not been an hour, but for about 35 minutes. Most of this time I spent waiting for my food, and if I hadn't had a laptop, I would have been sitting or reading anyway. This is not a suggestion that you should change your laptop permission during the weekend, but not make customers pay their money in their establishment. Place a sign, or at least learn better customer service. I'd advise you both.
It's a nice space, but the black tea I asked for was horrible. First, it's a tea bag in a cup so it doesn't taste. Second, the hot water they used was not hot enough to make tea. No love at all. The ladies in the coffee seemed nice, but they and a boy chatted without stopping behind the counter, so I couldn't have a relaxing time. They also left the door open although it was cold outside. I won't be back anymore.

I have been to this restaurant in the past and always enjoyed it, but coming back after a few years, I found that it has gotten even better. I ordered a delicious hot wrap filled with sausage, egg, and cheese that was freshly made. The waitress who served me was very pleasant. They also had a fantastic variety of cakes that all looked incredibly tempting.
The cakes at this restaurant are hands down the best in East London. They are delicious and made with love right in the kitchen. They were the perfect addition to our birthday picnic in the nearby Ion Square Gardens.
I went to have breakfast after the flower market on a Sunday morning. I was looking for somewhere to sit and it was suggested that I should eat off of the (sloping lid of an upright piano. Purlease. I shared a table with some nice ladies. I ordered eggs florentine. Eggs florentine is a classic recipe you don 't buggar about with it. It came with a few raw spinach leaves. I remonstrated that eggs florentine was a classic dish involving cooked spinach. (Obviously one advantage of serving the spinach raw is that you have to provide much less of it . I was told that they were unable to cook the spinach(! . I was referred to the menu which said spinach as though thad had alerted me to the fact that it would be raw. I suggested that if you want to depart from a classic recipe, then you should say so on the menu. I didn 't want the nouveau eggs florentine. My blood was up. I left £3.50 for a £2.50 coffee on the table. I said, as I was leaving, that I had left money on the table. All the waitress could say was payment is at the counter . It 's just all rubbish. At the point I left, the only other people there were the two nice ladies. Was it too much to scoop up the price of the coffee plus (if I may say, in the circumstances, generous tip from the table? Are there hipsters out there who want to eat breakfast on a Sunday morning off the lid of an upright piano? Good luck to you. There 's a point where bohemian morphs into ropey.
Wonderful place with really good food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Perfect breakfast spot!
The food here is delicious and the style is unsurpassed, however blighting what would be a great contribution to the cafes on Hackney road, the staff are very rude. There are no signs to tell you that laptops are not permitted in here over the weekend. Don 't worry though, because as soon as you have finished your food the staff will come over and tell you this. I spent £9.00 on this simple but well designed menu, thinking this would allow me to be in here for a while and respecting the businesses need to have paying customers filling this space. There was a long gap between me and the food arriving, which the female server did apologise for, however as soon as I had finished my food my empty plate was collected with the accusation that 'I had been in here for over an hour and that she was losing customers '. It had not been an hour, but instead for about 35 minutes. Most of this time was spent waiting for my food, and had I not had a laptop I would have been sitting or reading anyway. This is not a suggestion that you should change your permitting of laptops over the weekend, but instead, do not make paying customers regret spending their money in your establishment. Put up a sign, or at least learn better customer service. I would advise both.

I stopped a coffee yesterday morning and can honestly say it was one of the best coffee I've ever had. I enjoyed it so much that I returned an hour late and eier florentine had to breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. this caffe is located directly opposite the Hackney city farm and just on the street of columbia street flower market. I cannot understand why it is not absolutely jammed with people because it should be safe. when they are in the opposite are definitiw. from the st I live in berkshire and this is a totally unbiased Rave review!
Great place to relax and relax and very friendly staff. has to visit more often.
The coffee and cake is really good some of the shops on Broadway can take note. They always do a fresh brew cakes are super fab and not just factory bakes. Staff are always super friendly too
