Cafe Leads in Tower Hamlets

Came across Cafe Leads and glad we did. It’s a lovely little cafe just off the main busy road. I had a very smooth latte, well made omelette served by friendliest people working there. If I’m in the area again, I will definitely return. Thank you for the chat as well.

Very friendly, nice extensive choice! Very nice coffee!

Very nice breakfast in East London while waiting for National Express to the Airport on my way to Berlin after an event - also they use Turkey Bacon and it’s a lot healthier - and decent cafe and geat value - The Bus stop directly across ✌️

I asked for a bacon roll to take out…15 minutes wait and this is what they gave me. Never again.

£4 quid for 2 slices of turkey bacon in a kind of hot dog bun? And you call it bacon bap? Its disgusting. Avoid this place its a scam, especially if you're a woman!

Really nice welcoming people. Clean - good portion size - Halal…. I had a full english (nice beans, nice ketchup, nice eggs. My 8 year old finished his cheeseburger. 👍

I went there with friends today, the service, atmosphere and food were excellent, I recommend

I came today (01/04/2025) at 7:00am the chef said it’s not open and opens at 7.30am came back at 7:30am he then says we ain’t open till 8am. These Bengalis are always slacking in their job!

Very tasty food. Nice service. I recommend.

Nice cafe in Whitechapel. Conveniently located near hospital and town hall. Excellent customer service and friendly staff. Wide selection of food and consistent

Quickly served without unnecessary bullshit, good food, unobtrusive guests, perfect for a quick breakfast

that was the best english breakfast I ever had! (that was my first ever)

Everything is delicious at affordable prices. The staff are very nice

I went for the first time today, and I was genuinely thoroughly impressed. The food is perfectly cooked and quickly delivered, the coffee is really good, the atmosphere is calm, and the staff are attentive & nice. Also the prices are affordable which is a big bonus too. I highly recommend it

The lamb biryani is excellent, the chicken thighs was superb, service was fast and friendly, and the lattes (both hot and iced) are delicious. It's conveniently located by the hospital, so if you're looking to grab breakfast or lunch before visiting with your loved ones, this would be a great place to stop in. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food and service.

Really nice place. Delicious food and nice friendly staff. We had "Full English breakfast" and "breakfast burger", both of which tasted great.

Top friendly service and nice full english

Had half chicken and rice was very tasty the sauce was amazing and great service

Great food right next to hospital, very handy

Been here for the first time and very impressed with both the friendly staff and the food itself definitely beats any old chicken shop or nandos especially for the price

Great food and simpatic team. Thanks

Really good breakfast, good Service, nice people. Would go there again anytime.

Excellent food fast and excellent service !!!

Great place, last time we went it was before a hospital appointment, our return visit was just because we were in the area. All day breakfast both times, think we'll try the veg biryani next time we're here

Good food for a great price, and very friendly staff! Got the full English and it was good!

A lovely place with a really kind staff and better food. If you are looking for a traditional English Breakfast, this is your place. Another thing to take into account is that every food is Halal.

Loved the food. Coffee and karak chai were amazing. Service was amazing catered for 12 of us at such a short space of time.

Good service and really nice tea. Eggs were undercooked with egg whites still raw on top. We ask them to be cooked and they did so all good in the end.

Good food ,good service and lovely atmosphere!

Great and well priced English breakfast! Friendly service and delicious

I ordered American Burger, and specifically asked well cooked. The meat wasn’t cooked well. When I asked them to cook again, the toasted whole burger and did not cook the meat again. And the response from the server was you should have ordered chicken we cannot cook the meat well enough.

Great place for breakfast, we loved it. We ordered the Ordinary Breakfast and it was very very good, even for two people. We are looking forward to trying the whole thing, but we will try to repeat it before returning to Spain. Totally recommended.

The coffee was great and we had a very good chicken sandwich too. The staff is very friendly and kind The coffee was very good and we ate a very good chicken sandwich too. The staff is very nice and friendly

Very delicious tofo and very nice staff

I tried the chicken biriani today that is advertised in their window for £5 It contained 1 boiled egg, the bones of a chicken wing, and a couple of miniscule pieces of chicken. Had it contained any less meat, it would have qualified as vegetarian.

Ideal place for an English Breakfast. Economical, complete and very good. The waiters and customers were very attentive and friendly. One even wanted to share food. Would 100% return

Very good and complete breakfast, competitive prices

Lovely cafe, fast and friendly service. Decent quality salmon and scrambled eggs. Would recommend

Great service and delicious food

Great English breakfast and great service ! Warmly recommend

I was absolutely delighted with my amazing lunch at Cafe Leads today .. Minhaj was excellent providing a warm and friendly customer service ., i woykd highly recommend the food, ambience and great staffing to have a wonderful eating here

Very tasty food, short waiting time, nice service, I recommend!

Amazing breakfast, it was really good. Vegetarian options for the English breakfast and the smoothie was really good as well.

A decent full English at a good price, and service is always second to none 🙏🏻

Great place, great food, great people

a really friendly team and a big selection of good food. We enjoyed our veggie-breakfast and will get back to you. Fair prices and big cup of coffee made the visit to our pleasure.

Great food - great price - great service.

I was told I must try the lasagne and it did not disappoint! My dad is currently receiving treatment at royal London and I’ll be around for a while and it’s nice to have somewhere to go before the heartbreaking and long journey home. Thank you x

I took advantage of the "grilled half-chicken + rice and salad" promotion for £5.95 and everything was delicious! I am full and happy. I highly recommend this place 👍🏻

The “ordinary” breakfast really hit the spot .. recommended!

Nice breakfast meal🥰 affordable and clean place we will come back again❤️😍😘

Warm welcome, affordable and delicious food. Thank you!

A hidden cafe small but pleasantly located near local amenities and train stations ideal for hospital passers, convenient for all. A friend of two had English breakfast and tea service was very good which was the best part friendly and approaching.

Nice cafe in Whitechapel. Conveniently located near hospital and town hall. Excellent customer service and friendly staff. Wide selection of food and consistent quality. Lasagna was chef’s kiss.👌🏼

Great hole in the wall cafe. Loved the biryani.

Just came in to have a breakfast with my girlfriend had the best time and service highly recommend

Paid £3.50 for a chicken sandwich. What I actually got was white bread lettuce cucumber tomato and mayonaise. The label should have said "Chicken sandwich with no chicken"

Lo busqué después de tomar la línea Elizabeth desde Heathrow. Nos quedamos cerca, justo lo que necesitábamos después de un vuelo de 9 horas!

Went there with my wife yesterday, and the service was amazing, food was great i got the Mexican chicken jacket potato, and I found quite delicious, wife got the biryani chicken also very good, and yes they serve halal food, so there is food for everyone.

Everything is excellent. We had breakfast twice and enjoyed the different types of breakfast. Warm and friendly welcome, really very pleasant.

What a great day out at Cafe Leads. Such a hospitable, warm atmosphere. We were really looked after and had a lovely cuppa with a full English.

Great local cafe - super friendly staff

Breakfasts are amazing. The place is very clean and well light. Friendly staff. Try the cookies and cream milkshake, it’s good.

An extremely friendly café, with excellent food and impeccable service, the waiter is phenomenally kind I hope it will still be there next time I come back 🙏 Go there to help him with his coffee

We went there 2 mornings in a row, superb service... Very friendly staff, good reception... hearty dishes, go ahead, the people are very pleasant 👍👍👍👍

Very friendly atmosphere with excellent cuisine, very attentive service and close to the metro The burger is a best seller, excellent cookie

La hamburguesa de cordero casera era increíble y le dará a cualquier hamburguesa en Londres una oportunidad por su dinero. El servicio era muy bueno y el personal muy amable

Epic full English and awesome friendly service!

Pretty good all round Cafe.We,ve had breakfast a few times here and have been pretty pleased with our meals.Freindly Staff too.

Gran lugar de comida, un servicio al cliente encantador y un ambiente cómodo. Recomendaría Café Leads a amigos y familiares.

Personal amable y encantador. Comida muy bien presentada y sabrosa. La comida llegó rápidamente y a buen precio. Ambiente limpio y tranquilo

Need a tasty and cheap full English? This is the go to, you won't be disappointed.

A fantastic full English breakfast without the fuss or expensive price! I enjoyed this meal very much and it was nice to see good value food in London. It’s only a little spot and a very simple place, but it’s definitely worth a visit.

great as always but unfortunately this time the toast was burnt on most of the breakfast staff must have been in a rush. but would be nice if you can check next time please. thank you

Little café with great coffee and amazing english breakfast, people there were very lovely ❤

Egg was missing from my meal. Turkey rashers burnt on the sides, bread was soggy very bad

We were there two days in a row (we lived nearby). Everything tasty at a good price. Great service. I recommend!

Masala Tea was disgusting, presentation was horrible, quantity of the fries not worth the price. And I had food poisiong from the food. Please avoid this place

i can't just throw away 20 quid, so I'm going to have to finish this. it is edible but it's unpleasant. this is the second time I've ordered this. quite liked the first time. this time was not so fun. at first, i'd though i'd gotten the wrong order but it turned out to be shaped in such a way it looked like a very soggy sandwich with some unknown filling. meat lasagne. only just now realized 'meat' can mean pretty much anything. i expected beef. did not get beef. sheet lasagne was okay. meat was dry and spicy. there was no liquid involved in this meal. it is something i never want to try again.

This is my first time I went to visit this place recommended by one of my friend. I had 1/2 grilled chicken I must say this is one of the best chicken I have ever had,service was extremely good too,coffee was lovely,I recommend anyone to visit this place for any coffee or food.👌👌

Best place for good food ,good service and good atmosphere. Lovely people working here . Grill chicken ,Birany & Burger are so delicious.

Where’s mushroom and toast?! It’s missing whyy

I tried English breakfast. It was so good

simple hamburger was dry, but it came with mayo and ketchup packets, so it was fine. i would have liked more gherkins. the chicken fillet was lovely, i liked the sauce.

I went to this café for the first time as it was conveniently located next to the Royal London Hospital. I honestly will never come back to this place again. I don’t feel safe. I feel let down by the staff who allowed three people to be rude and target a pregnant doctor. Would I recommend this place to my other doctor, nursing paramedic, admin or pharmacy colleagues, absolutely not! Do I feel safe to bring my child here? Absolutely not. Do I think the owners could have done more to make me feel safe in his restaurant? Yes, but instead he defended that these people’s behaviour was okay and offered to move me somewhere else. He had the audacity to think “I offered a discount” was enough. 65p off for a meal which I couldn’t even enjoy? I felt so scared that I wanted to run out the restaurant but of course wouldn’t want to leave without paying. I left the restaurant in tears and all the way home. Come here if you need to grab a quick coffee and go or targeted but if you want to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea or meal and do some work/ revision/ even a friendly chat with your colleagues, it’s not a place I would recommend.

The chicken was burnt and black in colour, so tjat ruined the taste of it also the rice they gave was really little usually they give a fair amount.

"cafe leads" is very outstanding food shop, today we go with my friends I spend quality time & i have eaten breakfast . They have amazing service and the food quality just amazing .the food test was very delicious which is attract my attention very much.burger& coffee alos delicious . cafe leads staff are very friendly and good environment .

There are several small tables inside though they are not immediately visible. We appreciated our visit a lot!

Love to have my lunch regularly 😊

Nice small cafe, serving good food with good portion sizes at very reasonable prices. Got a lamb burger served with fries, a hash brown, egg and salad for £9. Hot drinks are very reasonably priced too, especially for Zone 1/2 London

I ordered salmon and was delivered seabass. I called the restaurant and they said they didn't have salmon so sent seabass instead.

Food was really nice and fresh, service is friendly, environment is outstanding.

Food was everywhere in the bag and came out of the bag damaged and jacket potato did not come with cheese

Too much happening with this "gourmet" lamb burger - to cover the not so good lamb patty quality perhaps? Everything is sliding out, very messy experience. Identified hash-brown - totally unnecessary. No option for 2nd lamb patty - just as well as if was falling apart just by looking at it, as if made from offal rather than pure mince. Onion ring was not identified at all, no impact on flavour - just slimey mass of deconstructed batter. Cod was dipped in the same awful batter and incinerated till significantly dark brown. The cod fillet is not very good quality, dry, must have been thawed from the last ice age. Won't be ordering again.

beautiful english breakfast came with my friend loved it

Great little cafe tucked away and so much better than the nearby chain establishments. Had a great breakfast and their coffee is very good. Will definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

Great food, great prices and even better service. We had a stay at the hospital so visited here often. We were welcomed at the first visit and when we returned 2 months later they rembered our names.
