The restaurant offers delicious salads and a fantastic winter soup. It is self-service, and the staff is friendly and helpful in guiding customers on what to do.

Went to Albion for an afternoon coffee and had to wait 15 minutes for two coffees! When we got them they were weak, lukewarm and the mocha had lots of chocolate powder stuck at the bottom! Been here before and it was fine but it just wasn't up to scratch today.

Came here just as meeting point and for some drinks. The place is very nice with a mix of a supermarket and coffee place feeling. I have to admit that the service was quite odd...Also he snack boards were a bit dull and overpriced...

I loved this place. The food was amazing, maybe the lime juice was a bit to much but otherwise perfect. The staff with a smile all the time. The interior is also really good and hip. Very East London!
