The Great British Breakfast | A Love Letter to Brunch and Beam There’s something about a full English, isn’t there? The more I think about it, the more I realise it really does sum up this country. Not in a flag-waving, Land of Hope and Glory way, no, in that beautifully muddled, comforting, slightly chaotic, deeply grounding way only the UK can manage. It’s got everything. The plump, juicy sausages, strong, reliable, a meaty hug in cylindrical form. The eggs, all gooey and golden, like a warm smile from someone you thought had forgotten you. Then there’s the toast, ideally a thick, stubborn slab of sourdough, solid, honest, dependable. A crunch that says, you’re home now. And of course, the mushrooms, earthy, humble little reminders that beneath all the noise, were still creatures of the soil. And the beans. Ah, the beans. The unsung glue of the plate. Ancient, noble, bean-y little fellows, quietly holding it all together, like a good-natured uncle at a chaotic family reunion. Then there’s the streaky bacon, smoky, salty, a bit mad, a perfect representation of British eccentricity. Slap a bit of Daddy’s Sauce or ketchup on the side, and you’ve got yourself not just a breakfast, but a national institution. And to top it all off, a proper cup of builder’s. English breakfast tea. Milky. Strong enough to get up and walk away on its own. And that, strangely, is exactly how I felt walking into Beam. Now, I’ll be honest, I’m not really a London boy anymore. I’m especially not a North London brunch kind of boy. All that sleek minimalism, gleaming cutlery, and avocado-based confidence… it’s never quite been my scene. But I’ll admit, I’m partial to a posh pastry. A painfully trendy boulangerie. A surprise charity shop bargain. So maybe North London is up my alley. London itself though? I think we’ve grown apart. So when I do find myself back here, I make it count. I treat myself. Not in a discreet, oat-flat-white-and-an-almond-croissant way, I mean properly. Greedily. Gleefully. With no shame. And that’s exactly what I did at Beam. It wasn’t just a brunch. It was a feast. A celebration. A glorious, slightly overindulgent hug on a plate. Now, usually when I brunch, something goes wrong. Always does. The tea arrives before the food, and by the time your breakfast rocks up, your cuppa’s gone tepid and your soul has sunk. Or worse, the food arrives, and the tea? Nowhere to be seen. And then you’re eating eggs, dry-mouthed, silently grieving the beverage that never came. But not this time. This time, it was spot-on. Hot tea. Hot food. No faff. Any tweaks, any changes, sorted. And for that, I have to say a massive thank you to Kiara, who was not only charming and helpful, but quick to sort out the tiny human errors that happen when things get busy. And that’s what makes a brunch go from decent to bloody brilliant. I sat opposite a dear friend, talking about life, sipping tea, sharing laughter over streaky bacon and runny yolks. It wasn’t just food, it was connection. Comfort. A reminder that sometimes, all you really need is a big plate of breakfast, someone to talk to, and a cup of tea that arrives exactly when it should. So thank you, Beam. Thank you, Kiara. And Happy Bloody Easter to one and all.

Crouch Ends number 1 brunch spot!

Just love this place. Lovely food, great coffee and exceptional service.

Excellent place for brunch, lunch or late afternoon meal. This place gets super busy at peak times, especially weekends, so may have to wait 10 - 15 mins to get in. Food is really good quality, portions generous and once sat down service is usually quick.

Excellent service and quality food ❤️

Always a winner. Service is impeccable. Thé staff are so friendly and the food (kids or adult) is very good.

One of the best places for brunch and coffee in Crouch End. Incredibly friendly staff, brilliant food and a very family friendly vibe.

My favourite go-to breakfast spot in London! Never disappoints! Their vegetarian breakfast is amazing

Love Beam! We moved so far and we make the journey just to eat here!

Nice baby friendly place, the banana bread was tasty

Super good food, lovely staff and we were seated in a great area!

Very friendly service and lovely food, they have gluten free bread

The service is incredibly quick and the food is delicious 😋

Best brekky we’ve ever had and amazing service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First time visiting, made very welcome, swift service and great breakfast. Thks

Nice vibe, airy, good service, great spot for brunch

Amazing lovely service and very accommodating to all my swaps of the meal! Would definitely come again :)

Very fast service. Food was top notch.

Turkish eggs weren't as good as usual and overly saucy. I usually go to a different location so could be why. Can't fault the service. Very friendly and quick.

Had a lovely brunch on a sunny Sunday 🌞—great service and super generous portions! And of course, I can’t forget to mention how tasty the food 🥘 was. All around a great spot to relax and enjoy the day.😎

We come every weekend because we love it at Beam. The staff are another level. So lovely and great with the kids AND the food is great. What more could you want!

Nice food Excellent customer service🙏🙏🧿🧿 Mr Andrea perfect waiter

Love it here, food is delicious, and the coffee is amazing. I had poached eggs on toast and it was perfect

Great food & service. Thank you.

Beam is just one of those places that you will always return to... The food the service the ambience and the memories.

A pillar in the community, wonderful service every time

I love Beam, it's by far my favourite place to go in Crouch End. For coffee, breakfast or lunch, it's always my go to place. The staff are so lovely and so friendly.

Had a lovely brunch here! One of the best shakshukas I've ever had. The staff were really friendly, and the place has a cosy vibe. Definitely recommend if you're in Crouch End!

Five stars does not do this place justice. Beam is THE BEST. The chicken and avocado salad is sensational - I dream of this salad, it is literally the GOAT. Love Beam and can’t wait til the day I return🌟🌟

Had a productive business meeting today with my amazing team—including our fluffy Chief Security Officer from Teilen Solutions (yes, he's the cutest team member). We picked Beam as our go-to spot, and as always, they delivered. The vibe was perfect for meaningful conversation, the coffee hit the spot, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. Huge thanks to the Beam crew for turning our work session into something that felt collaborative, relaxed, and energising. Always a pleasure—and always coming back!

Great service and friendly staff.

Fabulous experience on repeated occasions. Food,l and staff fantastic.

Such a lovely friendly atmosphere. Very chilled. Delicious filling food.

It doesn’t get better than Beam!

Amazing place and amazing people!

Customer service was impeccable, staff are super friendly but not overbearing, and the food is great. Will definitely be back

Always an all round great experience at Beam

Always the best food and service. Thanks to team.

Very kind and friendly staff. Kofte flatbread was so nice. We spent couple of hours for drinking tea after our lunch.

Perfect Saturday Morning Spot! Absolutely amazing café with delicious Mediterranean food—exactly what you need to start the weekend right. The bustling vibes, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the simplicity of well-prepared food make this place a standout. After a full week of dining in London, this wholesome and satisfying meal was exactly what I needed.

Our favourite breakfast place in Crouch End

My favourite shakshuka in London. The staff are lovely.

Such good food and service is great also. Thank you!

Go here every few weeks for lunch during the weekends. you can't reserve but there is usually isn't that long of a wait to get in. great coffee, tasty food and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Menu has a nice mix of light Mediterranean style dishes mixed with stuff like the grilled chicken burger 🤩, various wraps, pancakes, salads and of course the all day full English breakfast for when you just need some bacon, sausage and hash browns ** Side note** they did get rid of the club sandwich off their menu which was my absolute favourite and I was tempted to give 4 stars for this alone but as this is probably my favourite place for breakfast, brunch and lunch they more than earn that extra star! Highly recommend a visit

Excellent food, great brunch atmosphere Will be back for the French toast

Very enjoyable and very good food

An excellent experience. Nice atmosphere and fantastic food. The French toast was generously sized and well balanced - not too sweet. I look forward to visiting again.

Great service, coffee and food! Thank you!

So quick, delicious food and lovely staff

Good menu selection. Quick friendly service.

My favourite cafe for breakfast or brunch in Crouch End

Amazing Breakfast, highly recommended!

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this place!! is arguably my favourite breakfast/brunch place of all time. Delicious, quick, super friendly staff, we would be every week here if we could. Don’t hesitate to come, just be aware of the massive queues at peak times.. price of success I guess, they definitely deserve it!!

Big fan of Beam. I actually find it hard to go elsewhere now! Very brief wait, if any, to get a table even on a Saturday. The staff are always very pleasant and friendly, and their Mediterranean breakfast is now my favourite brunch anywhere. Would also highlight their Turkish eggs. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a brunch spot in North London.

I’ve been coming to this cafe for three years now, and I’m honestly surprised I’ve never left a review before! Every single time I visit, the food is consistently excellent. The standards here are so reliable, and the quality never wavers. The service is always great, and the staff are incredible. The waiters are friendly, patient, and especially good with kids. It’s clear that the restaurant takes care of their team because I’ve noticed they’ve had the same staff for years, which is rare in the restaurant business. The place is always spotless, and the atmosphere is lovely. The food is fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and welcoming place to eat. A huge thank you to the entire team for all the hard work you put into making every visit such a great experience!

My favourite coffee ship on town!

Beam is a fantastic cafe with top-notch coffee, a standout Mediterranean breakfast, and a delicious grilled chicken salad. Their chicken burger is also a must-try. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax or get some work done with your laptop. It’s often busy, but if you time your visit right, it’s perfect. Friendly staff round out the experience. Highly recommended!

Food and service always amazing and a great atmosphere get there early to secure the comfy chairs

Great place for brunch . Lovely food and relaxed friendly atmosphere .

Really busy Saturday morning visit but still the service was amazing and food delicious. Thanks we will be back soon

First time customer, but will definitely become a regular

Good and quick service and respond

Great service, friendly staff, excellent food

The food and ambiance here is excellent! We went with our pup, so had to sit outside in winter. Would be great if they could add the pet friendliness info on their page here. Beam shows up as a pet friendly spot, but isn’t one.

Fabulous food and service as always

Best place to eat in Crouch End! Never lets me down.

Delicious fresh food! Has the run of the area in regards of brunch spots. Lovely spot - been a few times.

Dimitris was great service!! Woll eb back soon

Saifl was very attentive. Service always superb at Beam Crouch End. Thank you.

After a long cold walk we were welcomed into the warm lovely atmosphere of Beam. The staff were friendly and good humoured. And the food absolutely delicious. Thank you. We'll be back.

Delicious and perfect presentation, the staff was very kind, thank you.☺️ 🙏

Always delicious and great service - so friendly.

Still the best brunch spot in Crouchie. Arrive early on the weekend to beat the queues.

Perfect brunch, the menu is great, good coffee and great environment. Never queued more than 10 minutes for a table either.

We love it here! Great staff, family friendly and perfect for just adults too, the portions are huge and so fresh.

Beautiful place, great atmosphere and the best service! All adjustments and substitutions were welcomed and food was so quick despite it being a busy Saturday morning. Our new favourite!

Amazing, looking forward to my next visit and I’m still here!

Always welcoming, good food and service. Thank you

Always a delight here. Avoid the yummy mummy ear splitting hour in the annexe unless you’re actually one yourself with kiddies.

Delicious coffee. Great service. Lovely experience. Thank you

Amazing food, great portions and super friendly staff. It can be a bit noisy at busy times, but that’s to be expected

Fantastic food, staff and atmosphere. We had a great time having brunch with our 2 and 4 year old boys. Portions are big!

Great local brunch spot serving excellent food and with great service. Always busy but the wait is never too long for a table and also happy to accommodate lone diners. Menu has great options and drinks are consistently good. Highly recommend.

We came for lunch at a really busy time but the team were really slick at finding tables for a whole range of groups from 1 to 7. The service was friendly, fast and really helpful. Food was delicious and the team were all really great fun and super kind to my 9 year old twins. We’ll definitely be back!
