Our experience at the bar was great. We ate a breakfast and the truth is that we were surprised by everything. The food was 20/10 everything was delicious, even the presentation. But the best of all is the attention we receive from the waitresses. They were very friendly and were always attentive to provide us with the best service. The coffee was delicious. The atmosphere is super nice and the bathrooms were very clean. I'm sure we'll be back.

Starting of with the food, it can’t get better than it already is! Very tasty and well prepared! Staff members welcome you like family! Definitely recommend to visit! Keep up the good work guys! 💯

Best of best! Very polite and welcoming staff ! Food is delicious and place itself is very convenient for transport! I for sure recommend this place!

Had really bad poached eggs (completely solid) and browning avocado that tasted old! A waste of money

There are much nicer places on green lanes. Food was very expensive and not that good - particularly the children's meals which were a rip-off.

I had a mocktail as I don’t drink and my friend a cocktail. They were okay. My friend had the one pan sausage - it looked good and I tried a little and it seemed nice. I had the eggs royal. It looked good but the muffin was impossible to cut through and was hard - I’m thinking at was stale. I went to tell the staff who came and asked me to try cutting it again, which I did, with difficulty, and they took it away. They brought out another - didn’t look as good as the first and only one egg had a yoke. The muffin was still tough, but the muffin was better than the original, so I still ate it. The staff brought some shots on the house to apologise- I don’t drink though so my friend has had a lovely breakfast with lots of alcohol. I really wish I never ate mine as an hour or so later and I need to go to the toilet! Like really bad! Really not good! This place has the potential to be lovely - if the food was fresh.

I always bring my little ones here we love it because they have kids playing area and adults cafeteria so kids play while adults relax great service amazing food too thank you Beans And Barley 🙏🏼

Beans and Barley is our local go to on a regular basis. This place is not only a fantastic environment for children but also great for us parents who need a quick coffee whilst the kids are running off some steam! They have a variety of options on their food menu including a ‘kids menu’ option with lots of tasty healthy options! This friendly cafe also has a soft play area for children to play in which is very safe and also clean where hygiene is a must for some. Not only are we greeted with a smile but also warmth shown by the amazing staff and team who work there. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, every - single - time! Not to forget, they do also offer party bookings for special events accordingly to your preferences and outdoor seating area for those who want to smoke free so ideal for everyone. A special spot in Haringey that must be visited by all and you won’t be disappointed!

Everything i just love about this place

Avoid. Waited over an hour for eggs royal had to leave in the end. Wasn’t warned there would be a wait. Was told it’s slow because of a party, I looked inside it was 8 people already eaten. Chased the food twice then gave up, paid for coffee and walked out. A restaurant should be able to handle more than 8 people. Poaching an egg takes 2 minutes Edit. Took me 10 minutes from writing this review to go to tesco, but the ingredients and cook eggs royale for me and my partner

Amazing service yesterday from atifa , she is an asset to the company , she made me and my mrs feel so welcome that we came back again …..

We had a wonderful afternoon at this restaurant. The staff were so friendly, attentive and welcoming. We were part of a larger gathering and have two young children. It was so great to have the play area right next to our tables so the kids could play inbetween eating. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. Our waitress in particular was fantastic, with attentive table service and very friendly. The managers checked we’d had a good experience as we paid the bill. Couldn’t fault this place!

I am a regular customer here. I am normally joined by my missus where we enjoy the most tasty meditarranean breakfast in the area (Saturday afternoon) I often visit to watch my football team (Arsenal) and chill out with a nice efes beer /meal. We sometimes meet up with friends and family who also enjoy the splendid food and friendly service by the waitresses. The owner works hard to ensure everything runs smoothly and does a terrific job. Always friendly and professional. Zissi

Not kid friendly cafe. Door is automatically sensor. Kids can go out so easily. The play facility area with strong spotlight. And not really suitable for all ages. And it plays very loud pop music. One waitress s nice while another one is quite rude and inpatient.

Certainly! "Beans Barley on Green Lanes is a gem! The kids' area and friendly atmosphere make it perfect for family events. We celebrated our son's birthday there, and it was fantastic. Highly recommend for good food and a welcoming environment!"

Unsafe for kids and extremely rude: One child just got very badly injured under one of their tables because there were screws without caps sticking out. Their response was that it's not their responsibility because it was outside the play area. Disgraceful!

I recently visited Beans & Barley with my family, expecting a safe and enjoyable environment for children. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a severe incident that compelled me to share my concerns. While my child was playing, I witnessed another child suffering a significant head injury after falling under a table. The injury was exacerbated by the fact that some tables had exposed screws without protective caps, posing a serious threat to children's safety. Regrettably, the staff's response to the situation was inadequate. Despite the severity of the injury and the visible blood, they displayed a lack of urgency and empathy. This incident left me deeply concerned about the overall safety standards of the establishment. To make matters worse, when I raised the issue in a Google review, the owner's response was dismissive and unhelpful. They insisted that the child's injury occurred because they were playing under and around the table, shifting the blame onto the parents and overlooking the hazardous condition of the furniture. As a responsible parent, I believe it is crucial for play cafes to prioritise child safety. I urge the management of the cafe to address these safety concerns promptly and take appropriate measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Families should be able to enjoy a worry-free experience at a kids' play cafe, and it is disheartening when safety is compromised. I hope my review encourages the establishment to prioritise safety and implement necessary changes to prevent such incidents from happening again.

!!!Urgent Warning!!! Attention all families: Avoid Beans & Barley at all costs! Our recent visit to their play area turned into a nightmare when our child suffered a severe accident due to their shocking lack of basic safety measures. A missing wheel on a toy train caused our toddler to fall and sustain a deep, bleeding head wound from a ridiculously long, protruding thread of a bolt sticking out from under a nearby table. This disregard for basic safety measures is inexcusable and poses an imminent threat to small children. UPDATE to the answer from the owner: Please post the CCTV. He was clearly on the playground matt, sitting on the train, due to the lack of your trains wheels, and no fence separating the play area and the dining area, he felt off the train backwards and under the table. He was not playing under the table as it wasn't even our table, but another customers sitting there. All your tables should have caps on those threads, as it's a basic safety on all the furniture regarding if it's near the play area or not. We will be happy to receive the CCTV. We also have other witnesses that confirm what happened.

Health and Safety issues - I wouldn't let my child run around there anymore! Most of their tables are missing caps with screws sticking out. We saw a child hitting his head very badly and was taken to the hospital immediately. There is also no guard/gate separating soft play area from the main one. - Their response was that they are not responsible because it didn't happen inside the play area. They have metal pieces (screws without caps) sticking out of their tables!!!

Food amazing and service outstanding I really enjoyed my visit to beans and barley I will definitely come back

"Beans Barley Cafe in Harringay on Green Lanes not only delights with family-friendly charm and a kids play area but also offers a tantalizing range of cocktails and scrumptious pancakes. Elevate your experience with a sip and a bite of their delightful specialties!"

Play area is unsafe for smaller children. Saw a horrible accident where the child fell into one of the tables too close to the play area (there are no barriers) and had to go to hospital. Drinks and tea were also overpriced for the area.

Adriana was amazing, very chatty and hospitable. Beer was lovely.

Best coffee in green lanes! Can’t recommend enough. The girl that served us was very kind and helpful.

Cold food with salad and fruit served on the same plate as an English breakfast, very strange? Over priced and when we complained they said it was trendy.

Very tasty food and good service. The kids play area means it's fun for all the family here!

Best place to go with kiddies!! Meets expectations of all! The back of the cafe is suitable for family’s while the front is suitable for non families. Theres a live DJ on Fridays and Saturdays! The DJs played amazing songs! Oh and the coffee!!! Amazing!! The staff is super friendly and smiley!!!

Great service, lovely and friendly staff. Always welcomed like you are at your own home. Nice food and drink. The only reason I gave 4 points for atmosphere is that sometimes the cafe turns into a disco and suddenly the whole atmosphere changes but I am very happy with the service and food here :)

Super friendly staff. Large menu of brunch, lunch and dinner items along with cakes and patisserie counter. Lovely coffees. Although our breakfast arrived lukewarm, the staff replaced the eggs when we requested it. The salads were quite basic with little dressing and we gave feedback direct to the owner who was lovely and checked on us after the meal. Variety options for all dietary requirements. Incredibly friendly staff and nice seating with blankets for the indoor glass conservatory! Space for kids birthday parties.

Great friendly restaurant, came here for our child's birthday party and it was a great place for it with good play area, plenty of space and good reasonable price and drinks! Would definitely recommend for kids parties and gatherings, and will be coming again for a peaceful(ish) pint while the kids play,

We booked a large table here for my daughters 2nd Birthday and so pleased we choose Beans&Barley, the kids had an amazing time in the play area while the adults relaxed with delicious food and drinks. The staff allowed us to put some balloons and decorations up, were wonderfully friendly and made a big fuss when we did the cake. We felt very welcome and looked after, I would definetly recommend this place for a kids birthday, has everything you need to make it a very special occasion!

The place its greatest ever but the change of personal it’s annoying regular costumers. A few days ago I and my friends we went for a drink and we felt uncomfortable, we ordered a dessert and before even finishing our plate a member of Staff (Male- middle Old age man) without even thinking we may stil eating he just took our plates and left didnt even ask us if we want something else, thats very poorly costumer service of him. He should have go and have a training how to look after costumer and then work on floor to serve. Disgusting wil never go back waste of money for a dessert that we couldnt finish

Very unfriendly staff. We were very disappointed and shocked by the level of hospitality shown to us as a young family. We were made to feel unwelcome and unwanted from the first minute we arrived, with staff surly and creating a bad atmosphere. At one point a male member of staff physically grabbed my arm which is COMPLETELY unacceptable and is lucky to not be facing a a talk from the Metropolitan Police. We are a young family with small children just looking for a nice meal and a coffee and we will NOT be returning again.

10/10 best brunch/breakfast spot in north London. Shout out to Mariana the waitress, great personality and service.

Beans & Barley is me and my family's fave breakfast/brunch spot! We love coming here on a Sunday morning - great food & Mariana the waitress is so lovely to us always

Nice little cafe / bar on Green Lanes. Soft play at the back.

Best place in green lanes for breakfast, lunch, brunch, coffees and drinks. The staff are exceptionally attentive and friendly. I highly recommend. Great spot with kids play area child friendly and DJ Fridays!

Tasty food! The cocktails are banging and the staff is so cool 👌🏻 10/10

Enjoyed the food...really good selection on the breakfast menu

Beautiful decor, exceptional service and great food.

Really nice place to spend time with your friends and kids. Little play area and lots of toys.

Always a lovely atmosphere, reasonable prices. Good customer service and dj on a Saturday night. Best bar in area.

Amazing customers service and nice coffee I love this place ☺️

Why even a little bit do not smiling??? The ladies who working on the till or serving unfortunately so rude! They should be more positive to customers. They said like why did you came to the cafe??? You should be more friendly and kind.

I absolutely love the place as I go there quite often during my weekends with friends, I find it absolutely beautiful and peaceful to go with anyone you want. Staff is welcoming and friendly. I really enjoy it and will keep going there for sure

Really lovey spot for a tea/coffee. The hummus and chips are a yummy snack too. Friendly staff. Great places to take toddlers/infant school age - lovely little play area

My favourite place for any occasion, the staff, food and vibes are always 10/10

Great experience and service like always! This is always my go to!

I’m an actor and every week I come here to learn lines and have a coffee. The atmosphere is lovely; chilled music that isn’t too loud and charming decor. Everyone who works here is super attentive and friendly, the juices are totally fresh (you can literally see them juicing the fruit from scratch behind the bar) and the food is delicious and elegantly presented. You can get a nice brunch for not too much, making it the perfect place to go if you’re hungover or just need to chill. Never been here for cocktails but I definitely intend to one night. All in all, a brilliant cafe and bar; whether you want coffee and a work environment or drinks with friends, Beans and Barley is North London’s best kept secret.

Experience here was delightful... No one harassing or constant checking up... But there are nearby... Friendly servers... Clean and fresh atmosphere... went for breakfast but stayed longer than expected... From Belize 🇧🇿

Hosted our 3 year old birthday party last week and I must say it was a delightful experience from booking to meal. Management is kind and accommodating, the staff is efficient, friendly and the decor is exquisite. We ordered sharers and kids meals and everything was delicious, especially for a bistro cafe. The kids loved the play area and parents could eat and chat in peace knowing they were safe. Great atmosphere. Overall, it’s an easy recommend.

Lovely cafe & very friendly staff!

Good food, nice atmosphere and excellent service by Maryana!

Such a lovely place. Great food, great cocktails and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Excellent service , excellent food … love the vibe here and the staff are amazing. Thank you so much. Perfection!!!

This has got to be the worst eating out experience of my life. The seafood pasta tasted like ammonia, this was sent back to the kitchen, no response from anyone and was left for an hour and half starving hungry. Was with a large group and the organiser asked the manager to offer me something else to eat instead of ignoring me. I then ordered a wrap that came filled with chicken that was so crunchy it hurt my teeth. I ordered a large glass of wine for £11. I couldn’t drink it as it tasted off, was a deep yellow colour and tasted like vinegar, I informed the staff that this was not drinkable, there response was that they would feed this back to the manger. Was left for another hour and half sitting with a full glass of wine in front of me which they knew I wouldn’t drink, manager didn’t approach any of us to ask us how it was despite having spent a lot of money here. Items have to be paid for as you order them, so order a starter, pay, order a drink, pay, order dinner, pay! They have a children’s area that is filthy. On the way out I took my full glass of wine to the bar where the manager was, and was ignored. The only positive about this place was the waitress, she was managing all the tables by herself. She had no break in the 5 hours we were there and probably wouldn’t get one at all throughout the night. The poor treatment of staff just added to the unpleasant experience. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Great area for cocktails. I sat outside with the smokers, inside was empty. Polestar martini and pina colada were pretty good!

Really good breakfast and the waitresses are very polite and helpful. The sausage with egs and cheese, with perfect toasts, delicious. Coffee also well balanced.

Lovely food drinks and vibes. The atmosphere is lovely day and night Jay and Mariana make it even better keep up the good work

Bad lighting Bad music Bad WiFi Bad coffee Bad vibes

What could have been a 4 or 5 star experience, ruined by one incredibly rude, unreasonable member of staff. We were brought our drink. After taking a sip it was apparent that they'd brought us the wrong order. We raised this with the waitress immediately and they brought us the right drink, leaving the wrong one with us. No problem, nothing to complain about. However, what they didn't tell us is the £5 orange juice we never ordered was added to our bill. The waitresses were friendly and tried to be accommodating. The lady at the bar, issuing bills, was awful. When we asked for it to be removed from the bill she responded "then why did you drink it?". Not a single apology or ounce of understanding/reasoning. I explained that if the drink they brought to us in error wasn't on the house, they should have taken it away when we told them it was the wrong order. She continued to argue with us, telling us we were wrong to drink it; should therefore pay for it; and that it wasn't her fault that we got the wrong order. Her confrontational approach and stubbornness even prompted a waitress to offer to pay for it out of her own pocket. Unfortunately management was not available, as I wanted to speak to them to ensure the waitress didn't have it deducted from her pay. We left feeling angry, frustrated, and sorry for the waitresses. We will not be going back.

it was great experience lovely food vert friendly atmosphere and nice kid playing area

Lovely play area without having to compromise on adult restaurant/sitting area which is also very nice with comfortable chairs and tables. We had a lovely time with our toddler and food was reasonably priced and great staff.

Very good service, friend and really warm environment.

£5 for a TEA!! 🤦‍♂️ £8 3 piec! Slow service!!! I would have this food with same prices in London tallest building between the cloud and amazing wiew!!! Absolutely not coming back!!!! Guys you need to learn whats money!!! I ORDERED ONE TEA (1) not three (3) ALREADY WAITER TAKE IT AWAY AFTER MY FIRST POTT!!!!!! DRY DRY CLUB SANDWICH!!! AS I SAID I CAN HAVE THESE STAFF EVERYWHERE!! NOT BIG DIFFERENT ON FOOD QUALITY !!!! YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT NOT £8 for 3 RINGS CALAMARI (3🤦‍♂️) 7.90 👏👏👏👏

As an American visitor, I was quite impressed and satisfied with the English style and flavor.

Really nice place for having dinner, lunch or just coffee. Very convenient for bringing children because there is small playground place for little one. I was participating family meeting in Beans&Barley with children. Food was amazing, very helpful and friendly waitresess. Children had a something to play with and adult could enjoy meeting with no worry about the children. There is as well hired clown who make children busy every Sunday. Highly recommend the place!

Literally one waitress, trying to serve the whole place. Our breakfast took forever!

I am a regular here since I have hybrid working hours. The food is amazing and the staff members are welcoming friendly and just a great vibe... 😊

Would’ve rated it -10 if I could. 1 waiter trying to serve every table. I waited for over 1 hr. Came here for breakfast never ever again. Disgusting. Food was cold. No flavour. Beans seemed like it was just microwaved and bought over.

Yummy food, great service and very friendly staff! Also a great spot to work/study with plenty of sockets!! I love studying from cafes and this place is one of the very few in north London I always come back to. Definitely worth visiting!

Great play area for kids and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly to my daughter

Amazing food quality and fun entertainment for kids👌!

I was very happy with the service it was my son's 7th birthday and he had a really nice time. 👍 i❤️❤️

It is a very nice place. I had already been a few times. Friendly staff, good food, lovely atmosphere. I do highly recommend it.

Very good The waitresses very absolutely lovely and very attentive, too. Comes highly recommended!

Amazing place,lovely atmosphere,good music good food and the sweet Kardelen very professional and friendly 😊😊

Waitress was rude. After 45 minutes The waitress told us that the boss told her to leave because we only ordered 2 coffers and 2 steel water. We didn't even finish our coffees. And the funny thing is the place was completely empty. Management need some lesson how to run a business.

Good music and DJ. A rare bar in 5 miles radius. Strangely they have disco music with kids playing at the back.

This place is wonderful, the foods are gorgeous and delicious, capucchino and Turkish coffee is awesome😊🥰 The staff are very kind, beautiful and friendly:))) The Mediterran-Full English Breakfast are so rich, nice and portion is more than enough;) I highly recommend to visit this restaurant for everyone because it's worth🙂

Live DJ ! The crew is extremely friendly! First time here but for sure I am will be back! Highly recommended.

Ewa was great I loved the service the cocktails are amazing she was kind and caring thank u guys definitely coming back

Food was absolutely delicious, everything taste fresh .excellent customer service.

Honestly such a beautiful gem in the mist of green lanes. Friendly staff, amazing food and a great atmosphere for the kids as well. Can’t recommend this place enough! XO

Absolutely Great! Lovely Chilled atmosphere the kids were able to play in the play area and the food was all round tasty and fresh! The waitress’ were very attentive and the wait time was next to nothing! Would definitely recommend to all and would come again to check out the night life.

This is my first ever review on google and im happily giving this place 5 stars, 10 if i could. From the first day i came to eat at this place i met alex, whom greeted me with a huge smile and explained the menu to me with a lot of patience and great detail and even offered me dessert and coffee on the house. Ive grown be a huge fan of this place, specially about their drinks and amazing service. Their hospitality is exceptional, like no other. Ive brought some of my friends over for some drinks and food and from the moment we walked through the door we were greeted by the each member of the staff through a handshake, which made my friends and i feel really welcomed This place has excellent steps of service and and amazing food. Don't miss out!

OMG so good. I came here for dinner last night, had possibly the best chicken wrap I’ve ever had on my life. It was so good I came back for a full English breakfast this morning, and that was just as good as dinner - if not better. Great coffee too and can’t recommend the freshly squeezed juice enough. Add to that great service and atmosphere. Will quickly become my regular.

I was with a friend this evening and waiter was so nice and friendly, the place is lovely and decorated nicely, clean and service is really good, properly chilled drinks and lemon and ice in glasses, I worked as a waiter myself and I must admit place is great

We went on a Saturday and it was such an amazing experience , they had 2 different dj s and they were amazing. The owner really took care of us and we felt super welcomed. I would surely recommend this place for a different night out in your neighborhood.

Great DJ on tonight. Nixxu. Amazing. Mixes Nice cocktails
