Beam in Islington

Lovely cafe for a quick lunch or a long brunch! Great atmosphere and service! Vegetarian Breakfast - really nice except for the veggie sausage Avocado on Toast - not amazing

Really nice, i'm so happy to find that kind of options for vegetarians !! The veggie english breakfast was delicious ☺️

Amazing food, efficient service.

Extremely noisy place .I had to come out for a fresh air and less noise. I will make a comment about other stuff soon.

Always have the best time here. Such lovely good, excellent and friendly service and great vibes all round.

Best breakfast ever and consistent every single time. Service and food is perfect!

Amazing experience. Sooraj was so kind

Really attentive and helped us with our pram

Great vibe, great food and amazing staff.

Beam is the best place for brunch in all of London! Every item on the menu is delicious and a really good portion size. The service is fantastic and very speedy. They are always willing to accommodate us with our 2 young kids and a buggy. The Mediterranean breakfast is probably my favourite, followed by the Beam Benedict for something a bit different.

Wonderful place for brunch or lunch. Delicious food and amazing service. Highly recommend

Great service every time, look after the kids so well even when busy! Food is great too :)

Brilliant. Every time. No-where to touch it in the area.

Delicious gluten free pancakes!

good place to go eat and relax, price is affordable, food was amazing. Thanks🙏

Best full English breakfast ever! Extremely friendly personnel and great atmosphere!

Ordered the Turkish eggs, portion is very large, best to share with someone. The sausage used are cheap sausage and very salty, breads are too oily. Very expensive for what it is.

The beetroot benedict was incredibly delicious

I used to love this place, but I was disappointed by an unexpected policy. I was told I couldn’t use my laptop during busy times. It felt unwelcoming, and I may have to reconsider coming back

Exquisite food, all the staff friendly and attentive. I went with my eight-month-old baby and they helped me a lot. I thank you for your gentle and loving treatment. I send you a warm hug from Argentina and a special greeting to a member of the staff who I remember told me that he liked the Argentine soccer team. The atmosphere is also something to highlight, everything very comfortable!

I was shocked with how fast the food came, I was further surprised when the food came tasting like rainbows. Mind you, it came only after 3 minutes. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was cosy and relaxed. Definitely recommend for a lovely brunch out, definitely returning soon.

I loved it! The waiters are super nice, especially Giada, who made us feel very welcome.

Beam is our new go to on a Friday after school, or I often go when working from home. The staff are welcoming, food is large portions they cater well for children and we even got a free kinder egg. Highly recommend. Sundays are very busy, but well worth getting there early. Only negative is they close at 5pm otherwise we would be there after school club too!

Great place , great food with great customer service

Best place to have breakfast/ brunch or lunch! Beautiful tea set when you order tea!

The brunch was recommended by a friend. The food is very delicious. All the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. The portions are also large. Highly recommended. There happened to be a lot of people on the day we dined. The service staff in the store were short-staffed, but they were still very enthusiastic and professional to provide the best service. The food was served very quickly. It is a place we will definitely visit again.

Always great, beam Benedict is the mother of hangover cures

Beam! You’ve done it again! Best brunch in London.

Red head is always lovely 😊 great food as always

Good food and good vibes. Such friendly staff. Services a very generous ☺️

Had a delicious vegetarian breakfast here. Large portion. The resto has a pleasant atmosphere. On the expensive side.

The Turkish egg is amazing, highly recommended :)

Food is always lovely, great spot for brunch, but what sets it apart is the staff - just incredibly friendly and helpful. Baby/child friendly, relaxed atmosphere and good food

I cannot think of the last time I had such a nice breakfast. The sausage on the Mediterranean breakfast was incredible and overall the food was excellent.

Really amazing brunch, the staff were so accommodating for our large group

Lovely atmosphere and great portion sizes! Will be back :)

Nice place. Good, tasty large portion breakfast.

Looove their vegan breakfast! Third time here across 3 years and still just as good. Insanely filling and the best flavour I’ve had in various vegan breakfasts I’ve tried across the city.

Great location and lovely atmosphere. I love how cosy and spacious the inside seating is. Mediterranean breakfast was nice but not the best, so I think I'll try something else next time! Halal options available for dishes if you request it.

Lovely place, Friendly staff and fair prices ❤️

Beautiful resturant! Delicious food! Amazing staff.

Super chill vibes, staff were lovely and attentive. Nice atmosphere and the food was a good portion size!

The restaurant was buzzing on new years day. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious and the smashed avocado on toast with bacon and poached eggs were delicious The service was extremely attentive and the food arrived quickly. Will definitely be back next time we are in London x

Amazing meal and coffee at Beam! Highly recommend the French toast and mushroom flatbread. Our Beam of sunshine on a rainy day!

The servers are adorable, the food is good, we even had trouble finishing our plates because they were so plentiful! I recommend Beam if you want to eat a Full English Breakfast 😊

Delicious food, attentetive staff and great atmoshpere in the restaurant. I will go back and back. As a regular customer I can just recommend any of their dishes with chicken. Such a tasty marinated chicken.

Delicious brunch, Turkish breakfast tastes so special, great and very fast service.

staff lovely food nice bathroom freezing but thats ok we dont eat in there

Fantastically kind employees and a lovely, homely environment <3

Food and drinks are always on point here. Cooked fresh and very tasty. Lovely local café restaurant to chill and relax. It is a bit overpriced, but the quality and portions of the dishes compensate for it.

Great place for brunch and great service! Definitely recommend!

Cannot get over how delicious this food is.. everything was supurb

Love love LOVE this place. The staff are always super busy but still take the time to make you feel welcome. The food is outstanding and I’d say probably the best place for brunch in Islington.

This place rocks. I come here with my bestie and it hits everytime

Happy staff and service. Great coffee and lovely decor

The best brunch you'll ever have - they've really thought about every aspect.

Everything about Beam Islington is the best my favourite meal is the Mediterranean breakfast. I love the ease and convenience of paying from the table with the QR code. The ambience is always perfect. Thank you ☺️ for amazing service and amazing food .

What a great place! So calme and cosy. The waitress was so kind. A nice brunch with a lot of choices. I'll be back soon.

Excellent food super tasty nice chilled vibe stopped for a quick lunch while working and would come again if I was in area

Great atmosphere, amazing staff and the food was fresh and delicious! We tried the Turkish Eggs and the Mediterranean Breakfast - 10/10!

Brilliant portions on the Full Mediterranean Breakfast

Great brunch spot and food is always delicious with great service. Highly recommend everything, especially the pancakes 👍🏻

The best English breakfast! So much food! Super friendly staff!

Excellent food, especially the Turkish eggs. Great smoothies and decent coffee

Amazing service, great with kids and quick. Highly recommend for brunch!

Delicious food. Staff friendly atmosphere very chilled. Will come again.

Great service, food and price every time.

Excellent, we loved it. It was very good and very filling, and the waitress was super nice. A little expensive but well worth it.

Popped in looking for brunch, absolutely delicious and huge portions. Will definitely organise life to be passing here again, slightly earlier so the Beam Brunch isn't sold out!

Super friendly, lovely food and very quick service!

Very tasty food and friendly servers!

Amazing place for breakfast or brunch or a simple coffee. The staff is welcoming, attentive and very professional. Interior aesthetic is also spot on!

Love this place! Great menu selection for vegetarians and meat eaters. Recommended!

Love the food here especially the Shakshuka. Staff are friendly and efficient. Nice laidback atmosphere.

Giant plates (I can never finish the chicken salad!), calm and pretty environment to work on a laptop or read, super friendly server gentleman there.

First time in this great place! I look forward to many more visits!!

Absolutely divine food, staff couldn't have been more friendly and attentive, and a great selection of vegetarian and vegan options.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the most incredible Turkish eggs I have ever encountered. The dish was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that left a lasting impression on my palate.

Great food and service. Always busy, and easy to see why.

Such a great place for kids. Loads of space for prams and high chairs. Often full of young families but never feels chaotic. The staff are always SO friendly and helpful and the halloumi salad will change your life

I’ve been here maybe 5 times and every time the service is so friendly especially one of the male waiters that has a beard. He’s super friendly. The flood is excellent and it’s super quick. Solid brunch breakfast spot.

Extraordinary place! Gorgeous food! Super healthy and lovely atmosphere. Thank you! Deffo will be coming back! You get a lot for the money too!

Incredible Mediterranean breakfast.

Dissapointed. It's a nice place and I have eaten there before and the staff are always friendly. But my last breakfast was below average this time. We were led to a table and ignored for five minutes. A couple came in and sat next to us and the waiter immediately tried to take their order first. When the food arrived it was taken to the wrong table. One poached egg was perfect, the other badly under cooked (I didn't have time to complain). The toast was hard to cut with the blunt knife provided. I did not enjoy my dining experience.

The French toast is a must try! 10/10.

Such a family friendly place that never fails to deliver!

I've been meaning to write a review for Beam for ages, so tonight I thought I would. They definitely do one of the best veggie breakfasts around Highbury but my favourite are the salads, in particular the halloumi salad is a must try 😋yum!

This is honestly my FAVOURITE place for breakfast. Ever. The food is amazing and the staff are even better. You can tell this place really has a fabulous workplace culture, because everyone who serves is helpful, smiley and efficient. And it’s always the same faces, so it’s clear that the team really like working here (always a good sign and highly unusual these days). So when I am down in London (I have a flat round the corner), going here for breakfast is part of my routine that I look forward it. It’s a real treat. I love it.

Great breakfast place run by a mother and son and wider team. Good selection of breakfasts and a stunning bar that reminded me of The Shining, in a good way.

One of my favourite cafes of all time

Love beam! Delicious food, great portions, halal, baby friendly

We are Beam regulars, the Turkish eggs are insane. Fast service once you're in, sometimes you have to wait for a table but it's usually less than 20 mins.

Lovely food and very prompt friendly service. Would recommend to anyone in the Finsbury Park area.

Best place with great portions of food. Staff is awesome! Super friendly and you don’t even need to ask for the leftovers to be put in a box to takeaway…and you will need that for sure 😜

A bit too loud, otherwise great!

Sooraj is our favorite he made our experience so enjoyable!!!! And he’s hot!

Great service and good breakfasts

Always enjoy dining at Beam. Lovely food, friendly and quick service and nice ambience.

Speedy, efficient service and delicious food

Excellent service, super friendly and helpful with the menu. Sooraj in particular was the perfect waiter, definitely would recommend
