If you want to treat yourself or a loved one to a fancy yet delicious breakfast, Cafe East is the place to go! Small unassuming cafe from the outside but the vibe and food speak volumes. Been lucky enough to not have to wait in the usual long queue outside the few times I’ve visited. The food arrives freshly made so is hot and delicious and the presentation is always on point. The attention to detail brings it all together like a work of art. Will defo visit again and again to try more of the amazing menu.

Food is fantastic, I have been there twice in a month. The cafe has a small and limited space so you are most likely to wait on a queue outside pending a free space. But food is so fantastic and presentation is lovely, Infact I salute the chefs.

I went with my mum and we loved it. Food was delicious and presentation was amazing. Service was really friendly and the chef sent us a free fruit platter to try which was so nice! We had a wrap and burger, but the breakfast food looked amazing too. Will definitely be back! I gave 4 for atmosphere as I would prefer the music to be a teeny bit lower volume. It’s a bit more expensive than your average café but this was reflected in the quality.

*Cash only* Food here was so nice. I got the pancakes with Nutella and banana which were super rich but just the right size. My family got various other breakfasts which were all really good. There is normally a bit of a queue to get in but if you get there before 11 then it's not that long, we waited barely 5 minutes before we were seated. Staff were friendly, and the price wasn't too bad considering how full we were when we left.

Would come to around £14 pp which is alright. Everything on the brunch plate was cooked perfectly, and tasted amazing. Can’t fault the food except for the excess of decorations. Staff were exceptional, although the restaurant itself is quite small and gets jam packed easily. Sometimes hard to hear yourself amongst everyone else’s conversations. Wish they took card payments too, but they only take cash. You can also ask for the halal alternatives to bacon and sausages I believe. Will probably come again! You can get more for your money at Querky Cafe, but the quality here is far better.

My partner and I were recommended this place after trying Fish n Chips at the Chipping Wharf. We literally went the next day and had no disappointments. Just from the line outside, you know that this place is definitely a fave for everyone. Before you even walk in, the excitement peaks because you know you’re about to get a meal that will not only look like an art piece, but will taste just as amazing. The ambiance is lively, lots of happy faces (obviously cos they were enjoying their meals), and super friendly service from the staff. We had fresh mint tea with the ‘French meets English’ and ‘Lost in London’. The pancakes and French toast weren’t too sweet and accompanied the bacon and sausages really well. They made some folded scrambled egg that I have never seen before. It tasted absolutely divine. The fruits were fresh too and everything just went so well together. The portions are generous but not to the point where you feel gluttonous. You leave feeling satisfied! I had a freshly squeezed juice to end off the meal and was pleasantly surprised by the size! Worth every single cent! Honestly, I couldn’t fault anything we tried. Literally 10/10

I enjoyed my food. Beautiful plating and delicious taste. I do found the place to be a tad too noisy though (music too loud). Cash only which is great! We must say NO to a cashless society.

I’ve eaten here three times (for brunch) and have been wowed every time. Nice atmosphere, friendly service and AMAZING food and coffee. If I lived in London I’d eat here all the time. Very highly recommended! PS. There was a massive queue outside in the rain when we left, so it’s not just me that thinks Cafe East is good.

Wait time was about 30mins which was alright. The food was absolutely worth it when it came. Cleared the plate and ordered more to go!

Delicious and beautifully presented food. Great service. We went on Wednesday early afternoon and the place was full with a free table just for us ;). Dishes are made to order, with a real flare for presentation and quality, hats off to the chef! Waitresses were very friendly and helpful. Cash only place. We will be back.

A little cafe on Roman Road offering food from breakfast a la carte to make your own; wraps, pancakes and burgers. We didn't have to wait but it does get busy, so make sure you go ready to wait for a seat. Service was friendly, and food came fast considering the size of the kitchen. It is more about generous portions and the details on the presentation than the food itself. Starting with the way the serve the water jugs to the little flowers and garnishes all over the plates. The 10oz Burger was tasty although it fell apart even before I grabbed it, so it was a little disappointing. Flavors were good and meat was well cooked. Curly fries are recommended. Like I said, not a huge menu, but it has almost all you need from a cafe, is well presented and the whole experience was very enjoyable. If you ever around east London and visit Roman Road Market, give this nice cafe a try.

Loved this place. The food was great and had a lot of flavour, it wasn't just a normal fry up and it has the best presentation. We loved that the staff was attentive. It is cash only and I forgot my card at home, so they figured a way to help me make my payment. Overall I was quite happy.

Food was amazing. Worth the queue. A bit pricey but to be expected because of location French toast was amazing For parking look on nearby side roads and there is paid parking available

We popped here for a bit of brunch on a rainy day - and it was pretty epic. Service was super, and food was delicious - lots of top notice presentation vibes. Usually a big queue outside, so factor in a bit of time, or come when the weather is rubbish!

Seems like a lot going on your plate but every bite is righteous there’s a reason why a lot of people keep going back as regulars! Flavours and the vibe is on point! My brunch was fire just had to eat each half of the plate Main/Dessert when ready… I highly recommend portions are perfect for a person.

I had a really nice brunch here. A lovely ferrero rocher milkshake with a hearty full English which tasted good. There was a queue to get in and I see why but was worth it in my opinion. Good vibe and atmosphere too!
