Most of the review here tell the same story, all bark no bite. The setting is pleasant, staff are nice enough but the food is bang average & doesn't represent good value in my opinion. There are likely better options locally. I'm told pre-refit it was better? Buttermilk chicken was a redeeming factor but really only took this place from a 2 to a 3 star job.

As regulars to Albion cafe we were excited to return to the refurbished cafe now known as the Boundary. When we returned we found the deli was no longer there and the packed cafe we once knew replaced with a very empty and quiet upmarket bar. We decided to try it anyway, I asked if we can still get gluten free toast with the eggs on toast and sadly that’s been removed from the menu, so there’s no GF option for me any longer. The tea came with no milk and the orange juice was forgotten. The food was nice but served almost cold. The choice is now very limited in comparison. Albion was the best breakfast/brunch in London prior to the takeover and we were regulars when ever in London. Sadly the new Boundary venue doesn’t even come close in my opinion and won’t be returning as regulars. Looking for new breakfast location in London 🙁

We went here at sunday lunchtime - surprisingly, it was not busy. There is relatively small but interesting menu. The four of us were all pleased with our choices and everything was well cooked and well presented. The service was friendly and efficient. They accept dogs. We would definitely go back here -having been refurbished recently everything is fresh, clean and very appealing.

We enjoyed our meal here, I had a chicken breast burger, my friend had a steak sandwich - both very satisfying. The sweet potato wedges were really good and don’t miss the chocolate brownie and ice cream! We were sat by the exit door which was both cold and drafty, but managed to get re-seated so no problem. We had to order by scanning a QR code, I had a few issues with the payment but mastered it with the help of my friend. This could be an issue for some, but I will definitely be going back!!

Great food and coffee. We also tried the bloody mary's - delish! Only complaint was my mushrooms on toast, while tasty, was quite small; my husband's full English was great (and a good size so I could steal a sausage!).

A very expensive breakfast when It was clear the eggs and mushrooms had been precooked as they arrived barely lukewarm on the single slice of sourdough. Also Having to pay, including a tip when ordering isn’t appropriate especially when the delays were long And the service less than average

Found this restaurant by accident and exactly what was needed after a night out. Lovely staff, very smiley and kind, great atmosphere and the food is fabulous. Would totally recommend this eatery to all I had eggs Royale which were delicious and so fresh.

This area offers many interesting, friendly places to stop off for a coffee, Albion isn’t one of them. I can’t comment on the hot food, but I can say the coffee was distinctly average and the pain au chocolat was dry with chocolat barely detectable. They operate a different pricing system for eating in, and this wasn’t very apparent when I ordered and the counter staff didn’t ask. This didn’t deter the rude waitress who was quick to very loudly ask me to leave in case she needed the table, despite me explaining I had asked her colleague if I could use the seat. She didn’t listen so I was happy to move on to a better, more friendly location. If you’re stuck for somewhere to stop off, there are worse places, but there are certainly better

Thought would give it a try as seemed to have good reviews. In an odd place on a corner in a quiet residential road and parking was easy to find. Garden at the back was pleasant but table was wobbly and the plants were overgrown hanging over the table so moved inside. Sunday lunch looked fabulous when placed on the table but the cooking and flavours didn’t live up to its looks. The beef was perfectly cooked and the Yorkies delicious. I don’t like vegetables soft but all were practically raw. The pickled red cabbage was mushy and there was a very strong clover-type flavour that was either in the gravy or in the cabbage which made the whole dish unpleasant. Pinot Noir was excellent even if a tad warm. Lady behind the bar was welcoming when we walked in but after that the service waned. I think for the price one can find better food and ambience.

I have had Chicken Caesar for my lunch, one of the best salad I ever had, the chicken was very guicy, just perfect cooked, you could tell the chef knows his onions when we talk about Food.

My husband and me were just passing by and decided to come in and have a coffee. The atmosphere was fine and the smell of the food was very appealing but, we had to deal with a manager called " Ani" with no education at all. We were trying to explain to her , we only wanted a coffee and go and she was telling us off; not listening to us and inviting us to leave because we were not going to have any kind of food. This was a very weird experience, and a very disrespectful one . My husband could not articulate a word and I just decided to leave without any more words with this kind on unprofessional and disrespectful "manager"?. We are not coming back again.

My daughter was treating me to a night out and we had booked at Dishoom opposite, but mixed up the times - we would have had to wait for an hour, so popped into the Albion opposite. Very basic comforts in the restaurant but a half decent Negroni and a decent IPA, spiced chicken wings, scotched quail eggs and burgers later - all very good indeed. Really friendly and quick service to boot! I so would like to be able to specify a rare burger but............

We were sat in the outside area for the afternoon in the walk in service. After an hour and a half we are told to leave very rudely. After explaining that we wanted to be there for the evening, we were very abruptly told to leave due to the fact there were walk ins. I can’t exaggerate how rude the staff were. It’s actually shocking how me and my friend were spoken to.

Food: Breakfast was smashed avocado on sourdough with two soft poached eggs. Delicious! I went back the next day for more!Ambiance: pleasant feel to inside and outdoor seating for COVID rules. Service: I had a problem when I visited the first time, for afternoon tea, but the Manager and Assistant Manager reached out, invited me back, listened to the problem and looked after me royally.

Abitando vicino l'abbiamo provato per una prima colazione, optando per il loro ottimo English Breakfast che ti fa arrivare tranquillamente fino a cena senza pause intermedie. Un locale a Shoreditch da prendere in considerazione anche per un pasto veloce tipicamente inglese. La bakery interna sforna il pane utilizzato e i dolci presenti in menù e che si possono anche comprare nel piccolo shop interno. Frequentazione giovane, non lo consiglierei per cena. Aperto dalle 8 alle 22. Prezzi da Shoreditch...

Food: Cream tea: scone, clotted cream, english breakfast tea. it was a nice cup of tea but no clotted cream!!Service: nobody warned me the cream had run out - butter isn’t the same! And they offered no discount. I had to ask why it was missing when it came to the table. The waiter who served me didn’t even bother to come and apologise. He walked past me several times.

Hace unos años, me detenía aquí para comprar cruasanes para llevar a la oficina a desayunar. Estaban deliciosos en aquel entonces.Los pasteles ahora se guardan en un estuche extraño donde si levanta la tapa, los pasteles pueden caer directamente sobre la mesa. Los cruasanes son tan rancios que probablemente podrías golpearlos sobre la cabeza de alguien para causar un trauma contundente.Si está buscando pasteles, simplemente vaya al tesco a 100 m de distancia y obtenga un producto de mejor calidad por la mitad del precio.

Very friendly and accommodating restaurant across the road from the ever popular somewhat 'arrogant' establishment.Breakfast is superb, I would recommend the Albion Benedict muffin. Our waitress Simiorina was both attentive and efficient. All the staff are friendly and you can tell that the restaurant operates smoothly like a well oiled machine. Prices are very reasonable (around £15 pp inc VAT and service), food quality is superb, service excellent. Not a lot more to add really, a no brainer, can't wait to go back.

To echo a vast number of reviews on here, the service was shocking, I had to ask for additional items 3 times, my apple juice congealed at the bottom, and the waiter got my husbands order wrong (he didn’t bother to write it down). Complained to management at the end (I observed the waiter explaining we were not happy and he mocked ‘blah, blah, blah). So unprofessional. Won’t be back and advice others to find much better establishments around the area.

Nos encontramos con Albion cuando buscábamos un lugar para tomar una bebida caliente rápida después de nuestra comida en otro lugar. Pedimos dos tés de desayuno con leche de soja. Nuestro pedido llegó con leche de vaca y dos tazas sucias, pedimos leche de soja tanto al camarero como a la camarera, la camarera regresó con más tazas sucias (que se veían igual que el primer lote) y leche de soja, pero ella cambió el tazas de nuevo cuando se le preguntó. No hubo disculpas de ninguna de las personas que trabajaban allí, luego descubrimos que lo que se suponía que era el té del desayuno era de hecho Earl Grey (que sabe bastante mal a menos que ames a Earl Gray ...). Terminamos saliendo ya que ya nos habían hecho sentir una molestia al señalar los otros errores, definitivamente nos sentimos incómodos y no volveremos aquí. ¡No estoy seguro de cómo arruinaron un pedido tan simple!

Vivo localmente, así que he estado en este restaurante varias veces y simplemente no puedo recomendar a nadie que vaya aquí. El personal puede ser increíblemente grosero, a menudo los pedidos han resultado confusos y la comida es normal en el mejor de los casos, y en general mucho peor. Una visita a este lugar con niños pequeños el otro día solo confirmó cuán ineptos pueden ser los camareros cuando literalmente se colocó un plato caliente frente a nuestros amigos de 2 años, sin una advertencia para tener cuidado. Otras visitas en el pasado han incluido incidentes en los que un plato ni siquiera apareció, luego su omisión nos culpó (cuando recordamos claramente haberlo pedido). es una experiencia realmente normal y la comida ha ido bajando progresivamente, al mismo tiempo que es completamente caro. No recomendaría este lugar a mi peor enemigo.

We had breakfast at The Albion every morning whilst staying at the Boundary project and were impressed with the fast and friendly service. The full Albion breakfast was one of the best fry ups we have had in a long time. On other days we also tried the Eggs Benedict, the breakfast omelette and the Albion bap. All were very tasty but the cooking of the eggs was variable and it was a bit disappointing not to have any runny yolk in some of the poached eggs.

I ordered the beef stew & dumplings for lunch as a main course (£13.50) as this is traditionally a hearty dish. Outrageously small portion that wouldn’t feed a 2 yr old.

Simply put, food was good, service was terrible. Came here Sunday afternoon not even busy had to call waiter number 1 over to take hour order. Our coffees came out with our food luke warm. No server came over to check with us if our food and drinks were ok. Called waiter number 2 to ask for the bill after waiting for over 20minutes for someone to clear our plates. Waiter number 3 brings over the bill request service charge and coffee to be removed as they were not satisfactory and tasted weird with almond milk. The waiter doesn’t even ask why and gets it removed. Ask to split the bill and what the final place was waiter number 3 rudely replies “you figure it out I don’t have a phone to calculate!” What service do you call this? Will certainly not be returning!

Spending a day together in Shoreditch pretending to be hipsters rather than sad middle aged marrieds up from the shires, we planned a food based day around Shoreditch. Looking at reviews we'd planned to go to Dishoom fancying a spicy brunch, but underestimated its popularity - 30 minute wait by 11 on Saturday. Book if you want to go there. Like many Dishoom rejects we wandered over the road to Albion where tables were available, as many others did after us (they must pick up a lot of business this way)

Most places in this neighbourhood are trying too hard to be cool. I would suggest they could already improve greatly by training their staff how to remember orders. Our waiter came back to our table 4 times to check our order and still forgot one side order. Food was ok. Portobello mushroom side order was a joke £4.50 for two really small mushrooms. The sweet potato and spinach dish had two leaves of spinach in it. If they had run out they could at least admit it. I know almost everywhere in London includes service charges but this was one that we really should not have had to pay. Every time we needed something we had to get the attention of a staff member they were all over the place and not paying attention to the tables. Thumbs down.

Bonito plato de patatas dulces. Los huevos estaban demasiado flojo y Benedicite un poco frío, no tan agradable para conseguir una sensación de "huevo crudo sobre el jamón".

Hermoso lugar para el desayuno o el brunch de la calle principal en Shoreditch. A un tiro de piedra de Arnold Circus y práctico para Columbia Road Flower Market. La comida era encantador, bien preparada, sabrosa y fresca. Personal amable y educado. Sin embargo, no parecía querer liquidar la factura. Vimos como diner después de la cena tuvimos que encontrar un miembro del personal para pagar por lo que podrían pasar. Quizás un poco más de atención y que no habría más estrellas en la revisión.

We stopped by here for a quick tea after dinner so can't talk about the food here, but it's a nice place if you want to sit down for a chat with a friend on a Friday evening where you don't have to shout your head off to be heard. We got a nice table outside where you can watch the world go by in Shoreditch.

Tow of us had dinner here. It was early evening and even though the place wasn't busy - the service was slow, but friendly. We weren't in a hurry so slow was OK for us on this occasion. Starters were both OK - prawn cocktail done straight down the line, and whitebait. House wine was OK too, a viognier. Main courses - we had kedgeree and a jerusalem artichoke vegetarian risotto, and neither were up to much. They were both pretty bland, and the chef opted for a big portion at the expense of decent flavours. I saw other diners handing back plates of the same choices unfinished too. £80 felt a bit steep.

Hi, I am the guy who ran way without paying the £60 for that burnt seabass and burger from a supermarket. The rose was ok. Stop robing people.

We literally stumbled on this restaurant having parked nearby for a gig. Ther service was great and the food was very fresh and tasty. Well worth a visit.

Hemos estado aquí antes y nos pareció y nos encantó el ambiente relajado! Esta vez trajimos a un recién nacido, así que fue un alivio encontrar que el Albion era accesible y el personal servicial. No figuraron en la NCT app cuando nos registramos, pero vale la pena una nota! Ah, y el desayuno completo albion era fabuloso!

Fuimos para un almuerzo rápido. Tomó años pregunta si queríamos una copa, nos ignoraron. Finalmente capturado el ojo mans. No hay agua presentamos tuvimos que preguntar de nuevo. Yo pedí más café caliente. Obtuvimos todo tibia café. Dos sopas (bien,) y una tostada de aguacate en huevos, casi frío. Basura. No hay contacto visual. No pierdas tu tiempo.

Soy un local y entrar de vez en cuando esperando lo mejor, ya que es un lugar encantador y fue un gran cuando abrió, pero durante el último año o dos ha sido consistentemente mal. Los pasteles, galletas, pasteles son tan rancios que no debería haber sido servido ayer! Por favor, que alguien Albion revisión de estos! El servicio va de mal a esperar 45 minutos para una taza de té. Le dieron a mi hijo de 2 años estaba tan una galleta que él no podía hard rock - después bocado envió su croissant que era demasiado viejo para comer. Los platos principales falta frescura y sabor y los brownies son secos y viejos. Una lástima para una ubicación clave en Shoreditch.

Lively atmosphere with nice ambiance. Had coffee in the afternoon before heading somewhere. Busy cafe with fast service. Did not get to try their main menu.

Best coffee around the area. Very friendly staff and great music selection! Oh they have absolutely stunning icecream now, probably the best I have tried in London (and I have tried a lot!!)

Had Sunday lunch there , it was deeply disappointing. An, at best, average roast but with grim meat and served stone cold. Add in rude staff, tense ambience and grotty surroundings , it’s really not worth the cost. When there are so many fabulous Sunday lunch spots in london there is no reason to choose this one. Mothering Sunday and the restaurant was not quite half full, speaks for itself. I’m not surprised !

Really was terrible- I eat most things, but this was inedible. Mash- stupid amount of salt. Lumpy. No butter. Pie- soggy bottom, and meat poor quality mince Floor covered in sawdust, so went all over my belongings. From observation it looks like tourists come here for a ‘local experience’, but I worry that they are leaving thinking that all local London food is like this! With a bit of extra care and attention, it could be much better.

Mi pastel de carne fue excelente. La pastelería en la cima era perfecta y el relleno super jugosa.Tuve la triste en el lado que era perfecta.Y la salsa, Yumi. Lo que un pastel. Yo no he tenido uno de aquellos años.Sin duda volveré.
