Bean And Hop in Wandsworth

A strong four stars for this Earlsfield brunch spot. A nice buzzing atmosphere in the middle of the afternoon. Overall: Very good and easily the best place in Earlsfield to go for brunch. Food: Brunch spot with a shortish menu What I liked: • Reasonably friendly service but genuinely nothing special or standout. • Beautifully presented food which was also really delicious. • Decent price point What I didn’t like: • Some seats are really uncomfortable looking such as the ones against the window or those perched high up • Hellmanns ketchup! Not nice. Should be Heinz all day. • Apparently you can’t make any changes to menu items which I secretly agree with but I feel there needs to be a compromise for example if some really dislikes pistachios or wants their toast grilled more Do I recommend going? Yes Will I go again? Yes Was it good value? Yes Price Point: $$

The full Lebanese breakfast is sensational. Have been here 3 times now. The last two times, I've had the shawarma without the wrap and instead with sweet potato fries to make it GF. Looking forward to coming back to try something else next time.

My wife and I were disappointed by our recent breakfast at Bean & Hop. I ordered the poached egg, which was incredibly overpriced at £15+, essentially just a tiny egg on a piece of bread with mashed avocado and random garnish . While the taste was okay, the value wasn't there, and the focus seemed to be on adding random garnishes rather than providing a balanced and satisfying meal. .

Nice food, sluggish service (but friendly) when busy.

The Lebanese breakfast was just about acceptable , if you choose to ignore the falafels which were as dry as the Sahara, and as hard as golf balls. What I found quite annoying was a service charge of almost £3 on a breakfast cafe plate. I always tip and would have done so this time. But I object to being forced to do so in a cafe. Pity, as I have just moved to the area and will have to find another caffe.

Great food (beautifully presented), friendly and efficient, and very popular. Really pleased to have come across this, we're now regular customers.

My favourite place in Earlsfield. Great for breakfast, brunch or just coffee.

Si vous cherchez où déguster un vrai breakfast anglais, vous êtes au bon endroit. Nous y sommes allés deux jours de suite, avons dégusté des plats différents, tous aussi savoureux les uns que les autres. Présentation alléchante et soignée. Service très agréable et souriant. Typique. À ne pas manquer ! Nous y retournerons dès notre prochain séjour londonien.

Had a lovely brunch here recently, the menu has so much choice and I need to return to try other things!! Wasn't a big fan of the beans or sausage, but loved everything else. Can't wait to try the other menu options!!

Great food and amazing service.

The food is amazing. The drinks are amazing and the people are lovely. They’re very polite and helpful (Ellie aged 7)

Special family meet up for coffee & lunch.

Had a very nice Lebanese style brunch here a few weekends ago - the food was varied and delicious at not too high a price. They service was quick and friendly and it was nice to sit outside in the sun, even if the road is quite busy. The coffee was good too.

Great food and fantastic coffee! A local favourite that never disappoints.

Great food, great staff and fast service!!

A lovely cafe in Earlsfield. Great, fresh, and healthy food.

Been going to bean and hop for years, and it's still as great as ever. Delicious coffee, nice atmosphere and the Turkish eggs were super yummy!

Visiting from Canada and had a really great gluten free brunch! Service was amazing, food was satisfying and delicious, service was 5 star! Get a chai latte if that's a drink you love!

Great coffee and service with a smile! Highly recommend

Awful experience. Super expensive. Burned food. Small portions. Dirty cutlery. Not going back.

Food is amazing but it is pricey

This place is our fave local. Always amazing coffee, lovely service and delicious food. Thank you!

Used to be our favourite brunch spot in Earlsfield but has gone downhill - service has been very poor every time we’ve been over the past six months, wait staff just seem to forget about you. We went this week and the food was just quite sad. My avocado on toast wasn’t toasted and so got soggy, my daughter’s kids pancake consisted of one dry pancake and five blueberries, just absolutely zero love put into it - previously we’d get syrup and tons of different berries. We asked for syrup and they took nearly 15mins to bring it by which time she’d mostly choked down the dry pancake. Very sad as used to be great but we’ll look for a new spot.

We visited Bean and Hop on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and despite it being very busy, we only had to wait 10 minutes for a table for two. The whole experience was swift - we were seated, served drinks and food quickly, and paid the bill within the hour. Coffee: The double espresso was fantastic! (5/5) A strong, dark roast with a perfect crema, smooth and delicious. Especially for £2.50, it's a steal! Service: The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, even on a busy day. We were seated quickly, drinks arrived promptly, and the food followed suit. Food: We tried the breakfast of champignons and the avocado eggs and chorizo. Both were delicious! The mushrooms were buttery and garlicky, and the sourdough was perfectly toasted. The avocado eggs had a generous portion of smashed avocado and the chorizo was perfectly spiced. Price: The Buck's Fizz was a bit pricey at £8.50, but it did have a good amount of pulp. Atmosphere: It can get quite loud and crowded, especially on sunny days. Overall, Bean and Hop is a great spot for a quick and delicious brunch or coffee. The service is top-notch, the coffee is fantastic, and the food is tasty. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait and a lively atmosphere, especially on weekends

3.95£ for a less than average coffee is a bit much...

Typical English Delicious breakfasts Very pleasant welcome The best cappuccino of my life

Great coffee and friendly staff!

Been to Bean and Hop a number of times and their food never lets me down. The green detox smoothie is yummy too. Always top notch and the Cortado is the best in SW London. No word of a lie. Highly recommend.

We had full English breakfast and Pancake Stack here. Both foods were very delicious and service was good even though it was busy. Definitely worth to try.

Great little brunch place, fab food and great service !

A great breakfast option, delicious food and perfect coffee, friendly service - will return.

Nice atmosphere but extremely bland food. Random supermarket bread is better than what they serve in their breakfast. Other items were also subpar. You need to change your chef. Not coming back for food.

Great food, fun and friendly staff, and always a great atmosphere.

I had a great experience, the food was so testy and the service very kind and helpful 😊 see you soon

I love it when I can find a cafe in London with good guacamole. Ordered the breakfast quesadilla this morning with spicy chorizo and it hit the spot. Staff was attentive despite it being a busy Saturday morning. Would definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.

Good and service are amazing :)

My favourite place for breakfast, the Chorizo is a must try!! As well as the iced coffees. Staff are always so lovely and attentive. Dog friendly

Yummy brunch spot! Great coffee and tasty food

Place is very nice, food and coffe just ok

The latte is superb! We come to Ben all week and it is worth it experiment all dishes! Congrats to the team! (The cooker is doing an amazing job)

Ok, though I would not rush back there. It has the feeling of a gobble and go place. Too busy for anyone wanting to sit back and reflect on things.

Great coffee. Love my espressos....one of the tastiest ever. The Foragers Brunch was amazing...wild mushrooms, poached egg, spinach and added chorizo. Fantastic vibe too. Highly recommend this gem of a cafe

Wanted to go here for a nice brunch but found out it was quite average. Ordered 2 Decaf coffee and found out that they were not. I ordered the Lebanese Breakfast, in which I wanted streaky bacon on the side. They didn't bring the bacon, and I had go go up and ask for it. They were very apologetic, which was nice. However, for £3.50 you get 2 tiny pieces of bacon. Lastly, my partner wanted poached eggs with her breakfast. The egg was completely boiled and hard, a bit of a shame of a spot.

We have had the pleasure of visiting Bean and Hop for breakfast on a number of occasions the most recent of which was 2 weeks ago. Great service, amazing food and a very welcoming team. We had pancakes and a full English and the quality was excellent. We will continue to come back.

On two occasions I’ve gone to eat in and take away, it was the best 🤯🤩🤩🤯😊…….

Nice atmosphere and lovely food. Would definitely recommend.

The atmosphere is enjoyable, but the cuisine doesn't meet expectations. The flavors lack harmony, and certain dishes lean towards being greasy. Moreover, when I attempted to order a pancake from the kids' menu for dessert after a full lunch, I was informed that it's restricted to children. Furthermore, the cost doesn't align with the food quality; spending approximately £30 on brunch and coffee seems disproportionate.

bit expensive for what it is but staff are super lovely and the shop has a lovely atmosphere, great pancakes too

Best brakefast I have ever eat out! Definitely coming again!!

Great place for brunch we enjoyed our food the restaurant was Crowded

I met a friend here for a late lunch. The staff were friendly but a little pushy when ordering. I realised later that this was probably because the kitchen was closing but it would have been helpful to know that. I had chicken and avocado on sourdough, which was delicious. I will visit again.

Lovely atmosphere staff are amazing very calm peaceful place and food is amazing

I had a very nice breakfast actually but I struggle a bit with value for money, particularly feel £2 for a baby chino is exorbitant and doubt we will go back

Food is delicious, we’ve been their for few times and food was always delicious, love their pancakes and Tricolor brunch, smoothie are yummy and staff are nice but would like a better customer service.

Amazing breakfast - I went early and there was plenty of space (it did start filling up around 9.30) Coffee was nice, smoothie too and I loved the pancakes. Hope to go again soon!

Great food and friendly staff. The pancakes were great and the full English is amazing.

Excellent service and friendly visitors!

Great coffee and place to sit. Food portions are sometimes on the small side

The food was alright, nothing special and definitely doesn't deserve the price that's charged, as mentioned in another review. The mushrooms tasted like they were pickled in truffle oil and that killed any of the mushroom taste. The streaky bacon was nicely cooked and tasty. The wilted spinach needed a bit more finesse. The egg looked great but was overcooked. The sourdough was disappointing. Service was pleasant but understaffed for the numbers there. The time from order to served was too long so this is not the place to go unless you have lots of time.

Beautiful breakfast! All what you need to start your day. Perfect poached eggs and coffee. Definitely recommend and will come again and again!

Sensational iced coffee and granola bowl, would recommend.

Sausage sandwich not recommended! 2 pieces of toast and 2 sausages cut in half, no butter or sauce. It was very dry and cost £7. Bit of a rip off. My first and last time in Bean and Hop.

The food looks good but tastes just fine... looks can be deceiving. As it's a small business I am happy to pay the price that's asked.. to support small businesses but I still need to be convinced that the food deserves the price ... I am amazed with the friendly and great customer service even when it is busy, the atmosphere is chill and relaxing. Will visit again just for that.

Best public toilet in Earlsfield.

Food is great. But I can't say that coffee, especially the heating & frothing of the milk is taken seriously. Cappuccino hasn't ever come with actual foam, even when asked for.

For me, the best breakfast in London. When I lived in Earlsfield this would be a regular stop for me at weekends. The service from the staff is excellent and the coffee and juices are amazing. I think I have had everything from their menu and it is all to die for. Fresh and local ingredients make Bean & Hop standout from other breakfasts in London. I could not recommend this place more.l

Pricey but very good neighbourhood eatery. Exceptionally good coffee.

Had such a delicious breakfast here today. Fab menu. The breakfast quesadilla was perfect! The staff was super friendly and attentive too 👌🏻

Coffee and Lebanese breakfast were awesome!

Nice cafe! Chilled atmosphere for a Monday breakfast

Excellent food and service! Lovely vegan options :)

Amazing!! I went with my mom to celebrate her birthday and she loved it! Good portions, great quality, very friendly service… in love with this place 💛

I Haven't tried food but coffee was excellent 👌🏻 😋 🙂

Overpriced hipsters fancy coffee house.

Wow! What a brunch gem in Earlsfield! I ordered the Lebanese breakfast and it didn’t disappoint! The falafel is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. BEST falafel I’ve eaten to be honest! The English breakfast my mate ordered looked absolutely delicious and they said it was delicious. Looking forward to visiting again!

Coffee is fantastic, with a lively vibe and very friendly staff

Never had a disappointing brunch here! Good coffee and brunch dishes. Service can be a bit slow as it’s always sooo busy but continue to come again as the food is excellent

Nice place for a late breakfast.

Really tasty food and an excellent brunch selection. Can take a little while to get served and it gets really loud - some soft furnishings wouldn't go amiss. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Every time we passed the Bean & Hop, it was always very busy. Today, we went there just an hour before it was closed. A lot less people, very calm and relaxed atmosphere. The coffee was fantastic and the brownie was nice too.

A nice local cafe. Sit by the window and do some people watching. Both the Lebanese Breakfast and the quesadilas were great, but I'd like to highlight the Peraian pancakes. Those were spectacular 😍

Fab place for a bite Had brunch Gorgeous Pancakes and great coffee

Highly recommend. I had the pancakes with caramelised banana and have to say they were the best I have had! Coffee was great too. Friendly and helpful staff, will definitely go back.

Fab staff - delicious food and coffee- definitely a top spot

Love coming back to this place. Has one of the best pancakes!

Very good cafe. Where do you get the pork and leek sausages? They are excellent!

Great vegan brunch, we will be back!

it was really good. tricolore something. 👍🏻

Best brunch spot this neck of the woods in my opinion, the service is always top notch and the food hot & tasty! Their coffee is decent and will definitely please the discerning espresso head. Overall a quality place, be prepared to wait a few mins on the weekend as this place fills up fast.

Great food. Slow service. Understaffed.

Basic food. Nothing special. Wouldn't recommend

Used to love this place but last two times have had to send food back based on over cooked and rubbery / maybe old produce. Sad to see it go so far down from where it was

Good coffee, awkward people. Think we caught them at a busy time.

Coffee came out wrong and Luke warm. Food took 30 minutes to come and was stone cold. Second time here and food takes way to long hence why the place is always busy as everyone is constantly waiting for their food

Yummy food and vibey spot. Just had problems with food and drink orders unfortunately.

Our daily dose of flat white. Great local. Dog friendly

Watch out, bad bread for breakfast options. I was a bit disappointing really as you're hoping to get a nice rye bread under eggs and avocado but the bread we had yesterday was tasteless, looks like it was undercooked. When we asked the waiter to pass this to the chef, the lady said just 'ok', no apology, nothing like she didn't care. It's a shame as the cafe looks nice but.. won't be coming back.

Best place in Earlsfield for lunch. They dont take bookings and sometimes can be difficult to get a table during the weekend. Food is always spot on although I have noticed that they have been reducing the portions lately

Really nice coffee and friendly staff. I got scrambled eggs and sourdough toast, which was slightly bland. Overall it was OK nut have had better breakfasts.

For the last three weeks, I've been on holiday in London and have eaten out at least once a day and often up to three times a day. In all that time, the standard of food at Hop and Bean is the only time that I've had any cause to complain. Every single other establishment has tried significantly harder. There were lots of waiting staff this weekend, but little organisation. My 'white americano' came without any milk and, for whatever reason, I had to ask three times before the milk turned up, by which point, my coffee was stone cold. When my breakfast eventually arrived, after around an hour's wait(!), it too was cold and served on stale toast that was so hard, I couldn't cut it with a steak knife. I pointed this out to a member of staff and the dish was re-made without any problems. This meant that what I ate was at least warm, but really, that's the highest compliment that I can pay this place. The truffle hollandaise neither tasted of truffle, nor of hollandaise, which is quite a feat! In a world where individuals are struggling financially, places like this will fail if they don't significantly up their game, rather than simply upping their prices.
