Beam in Islington

Perfect food every time I go, love the carrot cake and latte! Have also had lunch there with the wraps - tasty. Spacious and lots of room for the kids.

The quality and consistency of the food is second to none, and the service is extremely attentive - I would wholeheartedly recommend! A not-so-hidden gem in Highbury

Very good breakfast, come try it!

Popular for pre-match meet up for Arsenal fans. Get there early to soak up the atmosphere. Food is varied and reasonably priced. For WSL matches away fans also welcome which just makes for a good day. Well done Beam, our regular pre-meet venue 🥰

We nipped in here for a quick coffee and ended up getting the French toast (the server knew what we wanted better than we did!). The service was exemplary - I rarely leave reviews but they were so friendly, helpful, one step ahead of us, I really want to leave a positive review. The coffee was delicious and beautifully served and the French toast was big, tasty and well presented. The menu looked amazing and we'll definitely be back.

Big love for Beam! Great food, tasty coffee, and really friendly service.

Went late in the morning with two other family members for a nice breakfast, and I definitely got more than nice. the atmosphere was really eyecatching with loads of bright colours. Waitress was so sweet like sugar, couldn't ask for better table service. My french toast was, what do they call it.... was so "tea". 👌🏾 😂 Would recommend coming here with family or by yourself if you're looking for some seriously good breakfast and outstanding table service. 😁👍🏾

It's busy on a Sunday morning but the place is quite large so we didn't have to wait to be seated. We ordered Turkish eggs, french toast, beam Benedict and pancakes. The pieces of meat in the Turkish eggs were a lot smaller than I had seen in pictures online and my preference would have been for less yoghurt in the mix. The other dishes were perfect, I especially liked the french toast and beam Benedict.

Thoroughly enjoyed our brunch here - lovely outdoor area!

Absolutely delicious food and amazing customer service

Love Beam, staff are always so friendly and they are amazing with kids! The food is also amazing, just gotta get there before they sell out of the beam Benedict 😬😊

This is my favourite cafe in a all of London, the food and vibe is gorgeous but the best thing by far is the wonderful staff led my brilliant Matteo and fantastic Ester. The best hospitality team I have ever come across and I've been to ALOT of cafes. They all deserve pay rises and bonuses. Friendly, dilligent and always very welcoming. I've been going for over 5 years and never had a bad experience.

Great selection of breakfasts, nice and helpful staff and a pleasant interior.

The Mediterranean breakfast is the best brunch in London

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

Great place great food and excellent service.

Great food, great atmosphere! Really great spot for going to the Emirates afterwards, just a short walk away We had the beetroot Benedict and the Mediterranean breakfast plate and both were fab - the mango, banana, & strawberry smoothie was also really good! Staff were friendly and helpful, we didn’t have to queue to go in but have been told before that there was a 30 minute wait for the one in Notting Hill so it might be location dependent - either way would definitely recommend

Lovely family owned restaurant. Superb breakfast, with individual twists. Shashuka, Avocado and Scrambled Eggs on wholemeal and a delightful Beam Benedict with crispy eggs. Oh, and the latte was delightful, as was the friendly service.

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.

Happy staff and service. Great coffee and lovely decor

Delicious food and great staff!

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. 10/10

Fab restaurant. Incredible food. Wonderful staff.

Very friendly staff & reasonable prices!

Visited the place today where I had a really good Mediterranean breakfast - good portion, very tasty, yummy coffee as well. All was good until I had to use the toilet which is the reason of my rating. I wanted to give 2/5 for this initially...one of the male servers used the female bathroom right before me. I am not very precious about it (though the male one was nearby, but I guess it was occupied) however the fact that they didn't clean after themselves it was actually disgusting. Pee on the toilet seat which was down btw, that's unacceptable. It made my stomach turn and it ruined the entire experience. On the same topic, 2 toilets for the size of the place is insufficient and at least it could be kept more clean and tidy.

The food is really tasty and portions are big enough to fill up a hungry bear. Service is excellent!!!

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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

Great place , great food with great customer service

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.

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

Always great, beam Benedict is the mother of hangover cures

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.

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

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

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.

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

Fantastically kind employees and a lovely, homely environment <3

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Very tasty food and friendly servers!

Super friendly, lovely food and very quick service!

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!

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

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.

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

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