That’s something that a lot of people accuse me of not having. I admit that I am one to enjoy fastidiously planning much of my day and seem to always have a plan in mind.  My rationale is that it makes life more efficient.  Although when I am with one particular person, if I voice such thoughts, they are not always received well.  In such situations, I console myself by telling myself its a free world and people have a right to a different perspectives.  Especially bombastic, imbecilic, moronic individuals…

In London, you hear people say "lets get some Chinese today" or "I feel like Italian today" but never "I feel like some British today." But I do, then I go here.

This place resembles a posh British Mesh. They used to do Venison Steak, which was the best, but not anymore. The soup of the day is always nice. The cutlery in a Tin on the table is a touch of boarding School feel, but it feels somewhat homely. The solid unpainted tables don't look out of place in this place. The decor is minimalistic. Most importantly, the food is good and wholesome.

On your way out, don't forget to buy some organic bread in their local shop, which is always fresh.

Nice place for breakfast or lunch in East London. Relaxed environment, friendly staff and fresh bread to take away from the deli. Try the turmeric almond latte as well as the crab toast - they're really good!

I've been at Albion several times around tea time and I have to say they probably have the best scones in East London! On a sunny day you an enjoy your drink or food outside and inside the decor is so inviting, like a nice kitchen in your friends house. Albion also has a great grocery shop filled with gourmet goodies and a nice selection of breads and vegetables.

Good food, good atmosphere. Quiet for a Saturday night, but a nice and chilled vibe. Service was friendly. Grab a seat by the window to people watch, so many interesting characters in Shoreditch.

A very cosy restaurant in Shoreditch, the trendiest part of London nowadays. Food is delicious but staff seems a little exhausted because of the crowd. Their own beer Albion Pale Ale and Sticky Toffee Puding is really worth to try..

Came for brunch on a Saturday but unfortunately while standing in the queue they stopped serving brunch.
Fortunately the all day menu still had some more breakfast-y options! Went for a mushroom omelette and some toast on the side. It was good but not amazing... The cakes showcase at the entrance looked really good though as did some of the brunch options that we saw arriving at other tables who ordered before 12:30. Personally I think it'd be much better if they served brunch all day but oh well...
Might have to come back to try the actual brunch and some of the sweet treats on offer!

Best scones in London - and a generous size too! Great atmosphere, clean and with good service. Also nice to sit outside on a sunny day. Usually quite busy but don't have to wait too long to be seated. Located in one of my favourite streets in Shoreditch, makes it good for browsing in the unique shops before (or after) heading to the Albion for tea and scones!

I have been to this restaurant around 18 times and have never found it great. The place is decent for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The menu is elaborate but lacks healthy options to choose from. I am a calorie conscious person and hence do not always enjoy the food on the table. Their service is prompt and the food is delicious.

A nice little family restaurant, perfect place to have breakfast with family on a Sunday morning. Should go early however, because there may be a long queue and you may end up waiting foe some time. the breakfast had good variety too, particularly impressed with the rose water salad there. Everything was served fresh and we had a hearty meal.

To begin with, This place is somewhere between a cafe and a restaurant. It has a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere. Not on a really low price end but the place has lot to offer especially their popular pastries and pies. We ordered Sandwiches which are delicious and very filling. The only downside to this place is their undescriptive menu and a lethargic service.

This is the perfect place for a Sunday brunch, but remember it is quite crowded and the service stops around noon ,so i recommend going there early.
The crowd is absolutely amazing and the communal table style seating ,a wonderful idea. This makes the ambiance so casual and calm.
Our order included muesli and cappuccino among other things and each item was just awesome.
You might want to carry some oven fresh bread on your way out,because it is simply delicious!
The best way to start an amazing lazy day!
Definitely drop in!

This is a very classy, little restaurant in a very trendy locale and serves surprisingly delicious food. The place also gets the best and trendiest crowd. They have many seating options, and I was a little apprehensive of the quality, but the ambiance is spot-on. We were lucky to get great seats at a very busy hour, and enjoyed the view throughout the meal. The menu is completely English, and there are minimal descriptions of food. It is advisable to ask the staff for a recommendation, because the ' Rabbit in Mustard Cream' dish that I ordered was delicious. I savoured each bite of it. The meal was also presented in the most beautiful fashion. We split a rhubarb crumble for dessert, and it was as good as any we have ever tasted. The tea was yummy, the wine delicious and inexpensive and the service very efficient. All of these culminated into a delightful and memorable dining experience. I very much recommend this place.

This place serves some really awesome food but the service is very poor. I went there recently and must say that the food was very well prepared and in fact it arrived before the drinks. The staff, however, was ignorant all the time and I must recommend the higher authorities to properly train their staff in the area of customer service.

This place is always buzzing with crowd. So, in order to grab a table, one must arrive in time so they don;t have to wait much. The croissants are fluffy and soft and serve as an support for the best English breakfast. I absolutely love this place for its freshness.

This is truly a place to visit for breakfast after a enjoyable and wild night. This place serves really nice breakfast, with a homemade feel to it. It also serves delicious and piping hot coffee. The servers are all understanding, warm and efficient. The waiters are keen to look after their customers. I'll definitely revisit.

This place is a brilliant outlet for a takeaway sandwich or a dine-in lunch. It offers the best country comfort food. This place has a rudimentary and authentic English feel. I especially liked the steak, which was cooked to my description. and also the red wine pie, that was truly delicious.

I went to this place for breakfast and was very surprised seeing the atmosphere there. It was quite a lively one and the place was almost packed with people, however, I quickly found a table and placed my order. I had a poached egg with spinach which was absolutely mouth-watering. The coffee was also very good and the service was quick the whole time I was there. I would strongly recommend you all to try this place.

My breakfast here last weekend was pretty satisfying! There wasn't a lot of waiting time for me to get a table.Among the best items, i'd would include coffee,sausage.Though the poached egg was a underdone contrary to my liking .In general,all the other dishes were fantastic.My recommendation is their apple crumble.I am definitely coming back.

This place entices me so much that I am unable not to go this place repeatedly. The decor inside is delightful! The food here is sumptuous and lip smacking, especially the pies which are heartily tangy. It will satisfy all your homemade pie needs in a very amicable atmosphere! You can also buy unbaked pies here at only 7 quid! Highly recommended!

I am surprised why so many reviews are being so negative about this place. I in fact quiet liked it. The ambience is modern in a fascinating way. My partner really enjoyed the food that was served, even though she is very critical about everything. The staff was amicable and accommodated for our baby. I wouldn't get influenced by the harsh reviews because I had a rather different experience.

The immediate first impression that the shop makes upon stepping foot in is that of a lovely ambiance. They have an amazing and beautiful display, with jars of jams are preserves, the fresh vegetables and fruits and breads of all shapes and sizes. Then, there are cheese and drinks in a cabinet on the side, and finally a lovely display of cakes. There could be a queue here on weekends, so be early for your breakfast, brunch or lunch plans.

This place is the spot when one needs to sit alone, have coffee and enjoy the spectacular view of the city from the terrace.
The cakes and the coffee are both a treat.
the staff is friendly and non intrusive.
They do not blink an eye when you order just a cup of coffee and sit for over 90 minutes.

I visited this place recently and had orange juice and bacon. The meal was delicious with all the flavours that one can demand for. Also, the dish was a little but complimented the eggs pretty well but I must say that the bacon was absolutely tasteless. Might just give another visit.

Welcoming homely atmosphere with great coffee!

Im not sure if it's due to all the baking, the relaxing music or the friendly staff, but as soon as you walk in you feel relaxed. It could also have been how lovely and toasty warm it was inside compared to the crisp autumn day. Either way I liked the place instantly. 

The interior is really cool, modern but not cold and retro but not over done. 

The breakfast food all looked delicious however I just had time for a quick coffee. The coffee was good and delivered promptly with a smile. 

Will be back to try the food soon !

This place really is the epiphany of cool! It has a roof top terrace, as well as indoor and outdoor seating. When you walk in, there is so much choice in the bakery that you want to buy everything. All the food, brownies, bread, and fruit have been freshly made. It is an absolute delight to eat here. The service staff are knowledgeable on their products and are passionate about the food they produce there. I had a breakfast, and from that day onwards i wished all my breakfasts could be like that. Their deserts and selection of cakes are to die for...

Located in trendy Shoreditch, 2 minutes away from Brick Lane, the Albion is an organic bakery that also provides dining in facilities.
At first, the Albion exposes you to its best bread, cookies, brownies and general bakeries. It is actually useful when, due to being a successfully known place, the queue is consequent and you wish to eat while waiting for your table. Something you could also do on your way out.
Their bread is excellent; there is nothing better than a good baguette. Their sausage & mash is I must say rather good. Perfectly cooked sausages alongside with a great puree and decent gravy.
Their coffees and teas are, like in many places in the area, very decently flavoured.
The Albion attracts all sort of customers whether it is a family with young kids, couples, group of friends etc. The service is efficient and fast and the waiters & waitresses are polite, pleasant and serious.
It is in my opinion a renowned and quality-food place to eat at. Whether you come to shop at the bakery or stop for a meal, it is money well spent.

Best brunch of the week! The staff was kind enough to let us change our mind a couple of times ^^ Service was quiet fast and the meals were well done well prepared ! Love it. The shop could be improved with more organic products, and typical local products. I Love the whole experience!

Super busy on weekends, this Shoreditch staple serves mostly traditional English fare with a wee twist here and there. Best for brunch, though it's probably not the best place to linger after your plates have been swiftly cleared.

Tough at first to figure out what this is. Cafe? Grocery store? Restaurant? All the above, I guess. We stopped for tea and a quick snack. Service was prompt if (seemingly) disappointed that we didn't order more. Clearly has a kid-friendly reputation judging from the families in evidence.

Scrambled Eggs on toast is a delicious steal at £5.50. The eggs are creamy smooth and plenty of them piled onto a big slice of white bloomer. Add a pot of coffee, grab the papers on the long family-style table and this place is Sunday wrapped up.

Yes, loved the cafe went a couple of times for small plates and wine. Great friendly and efficient service. Decent prices. We did go to ask if we could use their roof top bar early on and later only to be told no. In fact I think being an older lady I didn't suit the 'vibe'.....ah hum went elsewhere and spent ....

One of my favourite spots for breakfast and brunch. Very British and hip but with fair prices. I love to sit in the cafe and just look at the kitchen. Services is normally friendly and fast. Highly recommended when you live in the area. I've been there at least 10 times.

Very good for breakfast, lunch isn't great here. The choice is a bit disappointing. For example, Caesar salad is £9 but if you want chicken in it is an additional £5. Caesar salad has chicken in by definition, otherwise it's just lettuce! The breakfast is amazing though if you catch it! Service has its ups and downs, I had great service here in the past, but last time I went there it felt like an Eastern European frosty vibe took over. Warm up, a smile goes a long way.

Really lovely place. Greeted by a great looking shop with fresh produce/breads/compotes/jams and local beers. Had a nice evening meal with friendly service. The chicken and leek pie was one of the 'casserole with a pastry lid' ones that everywhere seem to do now, but that's personal preference I suppose! Not a date night place but a good hearty home cooked meal.

I came here at lunch time to meet a friend. My coffee and croissant were top quality, however i did not order food as I wasn't very hungry that day, but I did have a taster of Kedgeree from my friend's plate, and it was delicious. The pricing of food was a bit high, but everything looked very fresh and yummy. The place was full at lunch time, which made it a bit noisy. And there was a queue of people waiting to be seated. Worth mentioning the toilets in this place...very clean and posh ;) I would definitely go back.
