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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Un café palestino en el norte de Londres que se siente como en CASA! En realidad, no solo se siente como en casa, son los hogares Todo eso se debe a Faten y Mahmood por lo increíbles que son, te tratan como familia desde el principio y eso se nota en todo en ese hermoso oasis en Archway. El amor y el alma está en toda la comida que hace Fatén (recomiendo totalmente las samosas de cordero, son celestiales) , todo el café preparado y que se te muestra en el momento en que entras. Ambos le dan la bienvenida como un pariente cercano no visto en un tiempo, solo subiendo desde allí! Esa hospitalidad palestina y el amor en exhibición, que solo ellos pueden ofrecer. Es como estar envuelto en un cálido abrazo, algo que solo puedes experimentar tú mismo. Otra razón para ir es recoger el MEJOR chocolate de todo Londres, sin necesidad de ir a las tiendas por él. El aderezo hace el chocolate más irresistible y mordisco, incluido el chocolate pistacho Gaza knafeh (1000 veces mejor y delicioso que el chocolate “Dubai”) al que te volverás adicto. Se puede decir que el amor saludable se vierte en cada molde como un ingrediente clave para que los dulces más exquisitos alrededor. Para añadir esto, todo va en apoyo de Gaza y Palestina, que todos deberíamos. ¡Vamos, ahora! Déjate envolver por su atmósfera amorosa. Experimenta Palestina en Londres, consigue el mejor chocolate y rasca tu picor de diente dulce y apoya a algunas de las mejores personas que están apoyando las mejores causas. Escribir esto me lo ha vendido a mí mismo para volver otra vez, ¡y no necesitaba hacerlo!
