Counter Albion in Tower Hamlets

Un ambiente muy cálido y tranquilo , con una panadería y patisseri exquisita , música suave y charla muy amena

Vi åt brunch här och fick en supergod start på dagen. Ett riktigt hippt och trevligt café med god och vällagad mat. Vi beställde yoghurttallrik där man fick välja toppings själv. Massor av olika nötter, fröer, granola, kokos, fruktsallad mm. Köpte även en smörgås med avokado och porcherade ägg som var perfekt att dela mellan två personer. Gott kaffe!

Para ser sincero, no me gusta post críticas negativas, pero esto realmente me molesta. Yo solía venir aquí mucho con mi familia y amigos cuando visitaban me en Londres porque era una buena relación calidad-precio para el desayuno que cuesta 6 libras. Ahora estaban a punto de cobrar para 3 personas 45 libras! ! ! (con café, té y zumo. ! ! ! ! ! ! Te cobran 6 libras para yogur y fruta y 9 libras adicionales para algunos huevos y algunos otros hotstuff. (que no es de gran calidad) me sentí vergüenza llevar mis familiares esta mañana, nunca volver de nuevo! ! ! !

Visité Albion con dos amigos y nos sorprendimos por algunos platos como el bistec sandwiche que es literalmente un bistec y dos enorme pieza de pan y todavía me pregunto cómo puede ser comido. . El resto buen manojo. Sin toque increíble. . . Bonito lugar bastante convencionales en shoreditch. . .

We came in for breakfast which comprised a selection of help yourself muesli/granola with loads of toppings plus a hot plate offering porridge or scrambled eggs and toast yourself bread selection. Great value at £6 a head. Lovely cappuccinos too.

Variety of vegetable dishes and fish dishes mainly that you can pick and mix. 8£ for a dish, 6£ for soup. The cauliflower soup was amazing!!

Me encanta el contador Albion, y hacer un esfuerzo consciente para venir aquí en lugar de la principal Albion en la carretera - Este lugar es mucho más tranquilo y el personal y la comida son excelentes. La comida es siempre una barra con comida y elección perfecta puede apilar el plato con tanta comida sana buena como puede - nunca he tenido un problemas aquí con el servicio lento, aunque tienes que ir a la orden de pago y hasta, como no es realmente el servicio de mesa. La única vez que mi café era tarde para mí, el personal se disculpó tanto (no me había fijado) y él corrió con mi café y un pedazo de pastel! Maravilloso.

Great fresh salads and lovely winter soup. Self serve. Staff were friendly and helpful about what to do

Counter Albion è un piccolo caffè della stessa famiglia del ristorante Albion, situato poco più in là in Redchurch Street.

Pasó por recoger un almuerzo para llevar. Optamos por un cuadro de ensalada de pollo (6 libras), contenía también tomates trigo bulgar, patrimonio, brie y remolachas. Necesitaba un toque de condimento, pero aparte de eso, decente, saludable y con buena relación calidad-precio. Volvería de nuevo. Otras ofertas incluidas sopas, ensaladas, quiches y más bocadillos.

Counter Albion est situé à 5 minutes à pied de son grand frère Albion, qui est un restaurant plus formel doublé d'une épicerie. L'offre et l'ambiance y sont différentes : Counter Albion est une version "détendue" du restaurant : avec des prix plus que corrects, une carte réduite, un personnel sympa. Le petit déjeuner y était très bon. Le soir, on nous proposait d'excellentes "pies" (tourtes anglaises). À noter : de l'extérieur, Counter Albion peut paraître petit, mais il y a une arrière-salle. On y retournera très certainement lors d'un prochain séjour.

Went to Albion for an afternoon coffee and had to wait 15 minutes for two coffees! When we got them they were weak, lukewarm and the mocha had lots of chocolate powder stuck at the bottom! Been here before and it was fine but it just wasn't up to scratch today.

You will have the perfect mornig if you start with breakfast at albion. The muesli options are almost endless, the chocolate croissant to die for, you will enjoy tasty hot drinks and very friendly staff.

Super déjeuner dans ce temple de la green food. Le staff est accueillant, c'est un un endroit parfait pour bosser le samedi après-midi.

I go the the Counter Albion every day, either for coffee, for a healthy breakfast, or for a calm candlelit wine & cheese dinner. I love it. You will be amazed by the variety of hot and cold drinks available, delighted by the freshness and tastiness of the food, and warmly welcomed by the charming and ever smiling French staff.The lovely Aurélie, the amusing bow-tied Sam, and the handsome Reda, are always happy, and are definitely the best to brighten up any of the too many gloomy days we have in London.I can't wait for the big bench to be back outside, so I can enjoy my coffee & cigarette, when Spring will be back...

Was in the area for two days and went here twice! Very welcoming staff - I noticed they were kinds and friendly to everyone. The food was delicious - amazing salads, great quiches and fantastic cakes. It's the type of place where you can just work, chat or watch the world go by!

Thanks to Aurelie and her amazing team for the breakfast ! Always smiling, fast and efficient . Place to be for a good morning !!

Came here just as meeting point and for some drinks. The place is very nice with a mix of a supermarket and coffee place feeling. I have to admit that the service was quite odd...Also he snack boards were a bit dull and overpriced...

I loved this place. The food was amazing, maybe the lime juice was a bit to much but otherwise perfect. The staff with a smile all the time. The interior is also really good and hip. Very East London!

I went over for a coffee and cakes with friends, we have been surprised to be welcomed by all the members of the staff. The counter service is making you feel at home and the place is nice and cosy. We finally stayed for lunch and had a really good pea soup.I definitely recommend that place for a nice meeting with friends.Special mention for the Barista, best flat white I had in a long time!Will definitely be back.

Counter Albion, Albion Shoreditch's "healthy little sister", is located in the former Maison Trois Garcon cafe on Redchurch Street.It is different to the main Albion, with lighter meals offered self-service in a low-key and chilled environment. It is a shop, dining spot and work space. When you enter the main door during the day, you are greeted by mac books galore before you, with creative types concentration mode, sipping makaibari 2nd flush grand reserve tea. Our visit was for lunch, so you have a long bar of salads, a couple of hot dishes and a selection of breads. These are available to take away or you can grab a tray and settle at a table. The rear dining room in Counter has a fantastic sky window letting in an abundance of light. This is hugely popular during the day, so get their early if you want this prime spot. Back to the food which is simplistic in terms of ingredients and presentation. It is far from the pretentiousness you would expect in Shoreditch, but with more of a focus on raw, healthy and organic produce as an antithesis to Albion Cafe down the road. The lunch time concept is simple, a soup option, two hot mains and then a selection of salads. Dishes can include devilled heirloom tomatoes with pickled red onion, braised barley & spiced chickpeas or mixed beans, peas with butter leaf, fennel and pickled cucumber. It ticks your nutrients and vitamins box. The food tastes good.Counter is the perfect polar opposite to its big brother down the road with their hearty meaty pies, rich kedgeree and traditional Fish and Chips. Prices come in two sizes for Salads £5/8, with soup at £4.75 and hot mains £8 (excluding side salad). Not a bad price for an alternative lunch option to Pret, Itsu, Pod etc. They have recently introduced a loyalty card where you earn points and get rewards. A welcome addition to the Redchurch Street which is quickly filling up with retail.

We met some friends for breakfast at this cafe. We had travelled from Belfast and although have been in London quite a few times, we're not familiar with Shoreditch at all. This cafe looked inviting, even from the street. We loved the help yourself set up and the range of products available was phenomenal. Definitely something for every taste, dietary requirement and level of hunger. I must add at this point it was certainly very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The cafe was bright, clean and stocked a lovely selection of foods, books and kitchen ware. All in all well worth the trip.

The coffee and food is really quite good, they also have a great selection of alternative products such as Quinoa from the UK and other healthy "lifestyle" food. The atmosphere is social, all kinds of people, studying, eating, having coffee, etc. However, the staff could be a little more attentive and hospitable. They are a little too "cool" for my taste . It feels like you walk into a clique who do "their thing" and you are intruding. I think the customer shouldn't feel thankful for being served. All in all, this is meant as constructive criticism, as this place has the potential to be a really great place!

Great early dinner with show stopping cheeses and charcuterie (all British). Will be back v soon for more.

Il Counter Albion è un locale perfetto per gustarsi un cappuccino e lavorare in tutta tranquillità, è fornito di due sale, una più tranquilla e una all'ingresso, i tavoli offrono la possibilità di mangiare e avere anche spazio per pc (con prese per caricare).Dopo le 5:30 pm le luci vengono leggermente soffuse e si accendono le candele, atmosfera ottima per continuare a lavorare e risparmio energetico.Voto 5

Luego de una caminata por Shoreditch este fue un excelente lugar para parar a un almuerzo ligero en un ambiente agradable.

Very nice place, average coffee and ok snacks, the staff could be more cheerful, but perhaps being grumpy is the thing in east london.

After walking Bricklane and through much of Shoreditch we were in need of a sunny spot for afternoon tea and a treat. And we found the perfect place. This little cafe was full of natural light and yummy treats. I had the BEST Mille Fueille or Custard slice I have ever had. The custard in the centre was flecked with real vanilla bean and the pastry was flaky and soon yummy. The tea was good too. My friend and I spent an hour knitting and snacking sipping quite happily. the staff were great!
