Came here around brunch time during the week and was pretty quiet.
I was promptly seated by a polite and attentive staff member.
I ordered the turkish eggs, which took a short time to get ready.
I must say, the taste of the turkish eggs was really delicious. The accompanied spices and other condiments gave the dish a real explosion of flavours. The bread too was really nice.
The eggs were cooked to how I love it most.
The veg sausage was great too.
I couldn’t get enough of it all, really.
Slight caveat as this may be overpriced for some people, however the the taste of the food is well worth it.
Hope to revisit soon to try out some other dishes.
I have been a few times over the years and have never been disappointed. The coffee is always excellent (which is hard to find!) and although it isn’t a huge place they always do their best to fit you in and accommodate little ones!
The menu is one side of A5 (quality over quantity) The food is excellent and there is always something there for everyone - children, adults and a range of dietary requirements are accommodated well. There is rarely a wait for food and the service is friendly and warm - always!
It is a little more expensive than other places on the high street and more of a special treat for us.
A must visit for me when in Wanstead and hands down the best cafe on a very cafe-filled high street.
This is a lovely place to go for brunch, the small selection of food is varied enough and would suit most diets; with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options available and the friendly staff happy to accommodate any allergies or intolerances. It's a great place to go for a treat yourself meal as it's a bit dearer than we expected but well worth it.
Loved the pistachio iced latte and vegan wrap, we had the optional fried egg which really added a lot to the dish as they were exceptional eggs.
It's dog friendly with outdoor seating and beautiful decor.
We will certainly be returning to the popular destination.
I wanted to avoid having to go into Gails up the road as doing some work nearby today so popped in for coffee/get some pre-work done, clear a few emails etc but venue has a clear no laptops policy - This was not a problem as this is clearly signposted on tables so fair enough (I just cleared a few emails off my phone which was less intrusive)
Pleasantly surprised as the coffee I had was actually really good and staff really friendly and attentive.
I also ended up ordering the Nduja on Toast which was really nice.
I don’t usually come to this area but if you want a nice cafe to just unwind, have great service and a good selection of sweet and savory food then check this place out.
Please be mindful of no laptop or iPad policy however and be respectful to the intentions behind this - With people working in cafes the norm since lockdown it’s probably a good thing having a few places like this where you can walk in and not find people with heads buried in laptops all day 😂
Handy location, warm and cozy place with good music and vibes, friendly and attentive service.
Most of all, food and drink selection is great.
Try Mexican Bloody Maria,won t be disappointed.
All fresh and well thought ingredients, dishes are very tasty and fullfilling with lovely presentation.
Definitely a 5* and I ll be back.
Great place with good food, excellent coffee and great atmosphere. The staff are very polite and attentive. The cafe is kind of rustic with wooden tables and bench seat and folding front windows which is a real plus on a sunny day. Recommended. A+
Excellent breakfast. Highly recommend the bacon naan... sort of a breakfast burrito thing with chili jam that's so good!
My first visit since lockdown...their first day opened (4th July ). Staff have done a FANTASTIC job in keeping all their customers safe. I felt really comfortable and sooooo enjoyed my double shot Cortado 😋
ALL staff were wearing masks, tables beautifully separated with screens, and cleaned in between customers. You can order on their phone app, so you don't have to line up. (download from their website). Can't wait to visit again!!! Thanks guys great job 👍
Best coffee in Wanstead! Great friendly staff, lovely place to visit for a good coffee and a bite to eat. Try their festive falafels.... hot banana bread and of course their excellent double shot Cortado 🌼
Try out their new Mushroom Melt ✳️
Ginger and Date loaf...✳️
Brilliant funky 'weekend only' seating round the back... lots of social distancing outside tables, decorative foliage, outdoor lights, quirky mismatch furniture such a great space, I highly recommend a visit...all under cover too!!
Every so often I find myself in leafy Wanstead, and when I do, I'll stick the wagon on the double yellows, beacons and hazards on, and grab myself a good oaty flat from one of the wonderful ladies in Bare Brew. Top notch!
The food is delicious- small but impactful menu with great flavours and filling food. Great coffee too! Absolutely lovely staff who kindly made space for a friend and I with our two buggies with no issues at all. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes on the menu and have that pecan and coffee cake again. YUM 😋
Food was lovely and the desserts were nice. Service was good. Was a pleasure coming here
Really good breakfast menu. Well balanced dishes with great vegan and vegetarian options. Good smoothies. Highly recommend.
Lovely vibe here! Very dog friendly with treats and water bowls. Great staff and delicious breakfast with chilli jam! On the cosy side, so might not get a seat straight away, as it is understandably rather popular.
What a place! Have lived in Wanstead for years and when this beautiful coffee shop opened up it created a new sanctuary on the high street that we as residents were frankly crying out for. Top marks for the coffee, the food (I especially love the poached egg and bacon naan - to die for and much better than Dishoom), and the beautifully crafted interior decor - which combines contemporary with a homely inviting ambience. If you’re a resident or just for some reason passing through Wanstead on your travels, Bare Brew is bare good and is a must visit!
Great coffee. Great atmosphere. You are always the number one choice for a brunch in Wanstead

Real good lattes and a concise but rich choice of breakfast from vegan to bacon! I had a vegan protein smoothie bowl, which was yummy. Kind staff and lovely atmosphere!
Hard to find a coffee shop that gets all right, the food/drink is delicious, service is excellent, so friendly and lovely atmosphere in there, it’s my new favourite brunch spot.
Couldn't believe I'd not been here before, this is now on my daily staples list for when I am in the area.
Great service, amazing food and value for money.
