Recharge in Tower Hamlets

Breakfast here is a special treat. Hopefully one day I’ll get to return!

really nice little place! coffee and food was great, friendly service and amazing value for money for how fresh and tasty the food was. can’t wait to come back!

Amazing coffee and turkish breakfast 👌

Delicious Turkish breakfast and coffee

Had the avocado & salmon sourdough bread, it was seasoned well! Oat flat whites were also delicious. Would recommend 👍🏼

Came here for brunch with a friend, quiet little shop on Roman Road. Coffee was well made, but not very strong, offering regular or oat milk.

Great for breakfast, very good coffee.

Amazing food and lovely people 😍

Excellent coffee, food and playlist! The poached eggs with avocado and sourdough toast were excellent!

Best coffee in London! The young girl very polite. Owner is also polite. Great atmosphere and food!!

Coffee very overpriced, was £3 for a very small cup and it did not taste all that either; most of it froth. Compare the size to a 330ml can of soft drink, inside Recharge coffee cup they are serving approx. 200-250ml of not all that coffee most of which is froth. Very expensive and a rip off. Also staff miserable, and smiles are fake. You're just a walking wallet/purse at the end of the day to fill their till. Hate to think how much they charge for food. You may need to apply to the bank to get a loan to be able to afford to eat in there, or re-mortgage your home, moreover on a regular basis. Given that the average price is coffee at Greggs, or a café (which are close by) is around £1.80 and twice the size, then clearly Recharge are only recharging their bank account and pretty much do not reflect the affordability of the wider public in the area. Realistically I believe the coffee is worth about £1 to £1.20 max.

I recently visited this cafe and I must say it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The decor was stylish and modern, with comfortable seating and a cozy ambiance that was perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The menu was extensive and had a wide variety of options to choose from. I was impressed with the quality of the food and drinks. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The coffee was some of the best I've ever had, and the latte art was a nice touch. The service was exceptional - the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer any questions. They went above and beyond to make sure my experience was enjoyable and that I had everything I needed. Overall, I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a great place to eat, drink, or simply relax. Whether you're a coffee lover, a foodie, or just looking for a cozy spot to unwind, this cafe is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to go back!

Very good food and customers service (don’t trust the 1 star reviews they are liars )

Friendly atmosphere, really tasty Shakshuka & good coffee.

Really tasty breakfast and great service

Very average coffee, totally overpriced, and they don't let you sit inside unless you order food!?

I miss Recharge. Moved out a year ago and I still dream of their delicious veggie breakfasts and insanely good coffees. Cant wait for a visit back. I know I'll be greeted and as if time hasnt moved. Keep doing your thing Recharge!!!!!

Excellent coffee and service- the nicest people! My go-to spot for a flat white when in the Roman Road area.

Best spot for breakfast in the area. They have very good coffee and very good food. They source good produce and cook it with love. I specially like the shakshuka… 😋😋

Worst costomer service, unhelpful and worst location. Greggs 2 doors away probably much better.

You should try the bacon and cheese toast and the halloumi wrap. A local gem.

One of the best "locals" to grab a coffee and a bite or to simply have brunch. The staff is lovely and the place is cosy and with good vibes, The coffee is pretty decent so is the food!! Good match for a quality, price experience.

The best!! Travel across London to eat here

Delicious coffee and such kind and friendly staff

One of the best places in London and my favourite spot for coffee and breakfast every time I come to London. Miss being there and waiting corona pandemic to finish. I hope everyone is save. GOd bless you all

Great coffee and the loveliest of people too. Their Turkish breakfast is also delicious and highly recommended!

So friendly always welcomed my dog and she is a very welcome and knows everyone and everyone knows her

Coffee great. Chocolate bad-boys impossibly brilliant.

Best coffee in East London! Food and baked goods are superb. Family-run cafe, friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Delicious family run cafe using all the best and freshest ingredients ! They have the best shakshuka in East London (possibly London) - Love it :)

The best coffee in East London! Nice friendly owners too.

Superb espresso, very aromatic and tasty.

Just had an ice coffee here. Best one ever. Staff very polite and brilliant. A must go place. Support this great place

Really good food. Excellent service. Very cosy. Good coffee. Friendly owners.

Best place for brunch with tasty food and good coffee. Would highly recommend the shakshuka and the Turkish breakfast 😋

A regular brunch spot for me and my friends. The staff are lovely, simple and tasty menu, good coffee and generous with their toast. All around good value :)

Best breakfast in Bethnal Green. These guys really know what they are doing - their fry ups are extremely tasty and perfectly cooked. As is their Shakshuka eggs. Oh, and their coffee is delicious too. The staff are lovely and very attentive - my partner and I look forward to going here every weekend for an actually good breakfast after a long week at work. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough.

Another hidden gem of London. A "must visit" for a coffee freak.

Lovely wraps guacamole needs some work tho

Very nice cafe with great coffee and nice wraps for lunch. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

The coffee and the cappuccino are so good! The tast of it stays with you for the rest of day and the only thing you want to do the next day is get you another one! I would really recommend, the staff is always very nice and helpful

Lovely coffee shop! Staff members are always kind, food is delicious (scrambled eggs are so fluffy!), the atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. Love it!

Lovely, if a little tiny brunch cafe! Staff are super friendly and the food and coffee are great!!

Nice & cousy place, good food and coffee...and kombucha

Definitely one of my favourite places for breakfast/brunch in the area, lovely owners and yummy food! Always leave happy!

The best English breakfast in the neighbourhood. Nice service and excellent coffee.

Very friendly staff, good atmosphere and pretty decent espresso.

Good coffee and nice sourdough tartines

Mi esposo y yo hemos visitado varias veces en el pasado, y siempre nos ha impresionado la comida. Hace poco fuimos nuevamente, después de volvernos veganos, y estábamos encantados con la opción basada en plantas, ¡está muy bien! La envoltura de falafel y hummus también es un ganador. Servicio rápido y amigable:)

Definitely the very best coffee in the area and really nice staff. Great food, especially their baked eggs (Shakshuka) and wraps. And banana bread!

El ambiente rústico y hogareño de esta cafetería contribuye a la experiencia en general. Su remodelación del lugar (que no se muestra en las fotos de la revisión anterior) hace que sea mejor para grupos más grandes. El Shaksuka vale la pena, y por el aspecto de los otros platos que vi, ¡está todo lo demás! Volveré por más. Es una pena, ya que comí allí un domingo y quería volver al día siguiente ya que estaba en la zona, pero están cerrados los lunes:

Great vegan breakfast and decent coffee

Very good food. Friendly staff. Good prices. Highly recommended

Good for a quick breakfast in a friendly atmosphere with a touch of Middle Eastern cuisine. Not too crowded. Lots of veggie options. The mushrooms and the vegetables, however, very rather raw, and the tea doesn't deserve to be called by that name at all :) And all the same, it's better for normal food than Pret of the like. Thank you guys.

Best cafe on the Roman road by far

Really nice little place friendly great coffee and the food particularly the Aberdeen Angus Beef Burger next time deffo ordering some food

Favourite place to go for breakfast on a Sunday. It is definitely cosy and is popular so try to get there so . Food is always great and everyone's so friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Been coming to this place for years. Excellent coffee, delicious food and fair prices.

Closed! Again! Love this place but it's randomly closed all the time. I've stopped going because it's so unreliable and never a reason or how long it's closed for on the shutter. The owner and food are great and he works hard but it has to be reliable to bother to walk down there.

Reasonable prices,always great service & the food is tasty

Absolutely love this place. Good coffee. Good food. And above all the owners are just genuinely pleasant and lovely people who will do their very best to accommodate any request. Great local friendly spot that I come back to again and again. Highly recommended!

Love their coffee. They make a good breakfast as well.

The food is simply amazing! Staff are fantastic! Highly recommended

Nice food. Have enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast here a couple of time, containing fried egg, beans, 1 hash brown, mushroom, tomatoes, avocado and toast. Very filling. Only coffee I've ordered here is the Mocha and again always excellent. Thanks to gentrification, both the food and coffee are a bit pricey IMHO for this area of London. Especially the coffee which came in the small glass tumbler. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Service good.

Excellent coffee always dark, mellow and smooth. Lovely food, excellent omlettes.

We've been going to cosy, family-run Recharge regularly for about 4 years and we still get the best breakfast in London every time. I would recommend the shakshuka, the Turkish breakfast and the halloumi/red pepper wrap- all so delicious!

La comida es buena. He disfrutado del desayuno vegetariano aquí un par de veces, que contengan huevo frito, frijoles, 1 patata, champiñones, tomate, aguacate y tostadas. Muy abundante. Sólo que he pedido aquí es el moca y nuevo siempre excelente. Gracias a gentrification, la comida y el café son un poco caro en mi opinión en esta zona de Londres. Sobre todo el café que puede en el pequeño vaso de vidrio. El personal es amable y acogedor. Buen servicio.

7 amigos y yo disfrutamos del desayuno en recuperarse. Aunque es un pequeño café, había espacio para sentarse juntos. El servicio era rápido y amable. Buena variedad de platos con ingredientes frescos, el desayuno, muy bien preparada y presentada. Gran té y café. Gracias.

Nice plans, not so friendly on add ons, or removals. Wanted to exchange some breakfast items but wasn't allowed. Great breakfast though

The english breakfast was delicious

Este lugar es fantástico. La comida siempre es preparado y servido con rapidez. Es un hotel regentado por una familia que consigue hacer un gran desayuno turco y su nivel de inglés. No es raro entrar en un sábado o domingo por la mañana para encontrar una mezcla de corredores, parejas y gente de nivel desayunar.

Well worth a visit, friendly staff and great coffee! The venue is small like most similar venues on roman road, nut worth a visit nonetheless.

Wonderful, unassuming, family-owned cafe with simple but always delicious breakfast/brunch/lunch options. Coffee is very good - sometimes exceptional! highly recommended.

Great cafe, friendly service, excellent food and the best coffee in the area. I would give it 10 stars if possible

Consistently good coffee - and I'm a New Zealander, so fussy. Tend to pop in on my way to the tube and turnaround is quick as well. Food is delicious. Don't come if you are a control freak or want to amp your dishes up, tone down, or get fussy. It's what's on the blackboard, which is practical given the smaller sized venue. If you like Turkish breakfasts - halloumi, eggs, avocado - then his is is the place. But they do full English as well and a range of sandwiches and wraps.

I asked for sourdough toast, I was told I can only order toast with crushed avocado on the side so that would be £5 for toast. Gentrification gone too far?

I come here for breakfast most weekends and couldn't recommend it more. The food is really good and it's super friendly and relaxed. A small but perfect cafe!

I have been going to Recharge (formerly the Corner Café) for years. As the café culture has grown in London there have been hundreds pop up around Bow / Hackney that are overpriced and style over substance. This is not the case with Recharge! It's not the biggest space, but there is ordinarily enough room for a seat even with a group of mates. The food is amazing and reasonably priced, the service is friendly and it's great for people watching if you happen to be on your own. I go there to work, meet clients, friends or with my girlfriend. Cannot recommend more highly, check it out for yourself and enjoy!

Brilliant customer service great food friendly people....

Excellent food. Great with the kids for Sunday brunch.

The food is always fresh and tastilicious! The coffee is fantastic and the staff is always welcoming and smiling! I have tried everything from the menu and I can recommend you to try it too.. This will be the first place to visit when I come to London again. Taste the food and recharge yourself with positive vibes ;)

Lovely, dog friendly place for breakfast and lunch. They always serve great coffee and high quality food.

My favourite breakfast/brunch/lunch place on Roman Road. Family run place with a friendly smile and cosy atmosphere. On the weekends they serve this traditional Turkish style baked eggs dish (cannot remember the name) - DELICIOUS!! It's made with a homemade sauce....please go to try it! YUMMY

Breakfast so good you'll remortgage your house and bet all your money on Breakfast. You'll name your first-born child Breakfast. You'll be picked up wandering the streets just repeating the word Breakfast. I just had a Turkish Breakfast, and all I can say is: Breakfast. (excellent quality, fair price, no corners cut, simple pleasant environment)... If only there was WiFi too...

One of the best Kashuka I've had.

Best wraps around for vegetarians and non vegetarian, shaksuka omelette over of my favorites. Also i recommend Turkish breakfast. I noticed it's less busy in the afternoons perhaps best time to go.

Love this place. Local cafe with great breakfasts and a real good coffee.

Simple menu, prepared with care and attention to detail. Though other cafes have recently opened between here and Bethnal Green, none provide better food, atmosphere or value for money. Scrambled eggs with salmon or avocado on toast particularly good - well seasoned and delicious!

Recharge is a very cute cafe on Roman Road. Inside there is not much seating but it is not uncomfortable. There is a large choice of breakfast food and also some wraps and sandwiches. I had the sausage sandwich with egg and a black coffee. The sandwich came with lovely white bread and juicy sausages. The coffee is nice and rich and they also sell the beans so you can have it at home. Staff friendly. It is quite expensive but it has a lovely vibe inside.

Food is always amazing best cafe in town ✨✨✨✨✨

As much as I really want to rate this place as my local cafe, it just isn't that great. Food isn't bad, but overpriced and not memorable. Coffee is okay, but again, nothing amazing.

My favourite coffee and brunch shop. Everyone is really friendly, they really know how to make food and coffee. I go there whenever I'm nearby. Has a toilet, has no wifi.

Great local spot for a quick tea or coffee on the go...breakfast / lunch if you're not in a rush. The service is great and the food is terrific! It's small and unobtrusive so easy to miss if you're not aware 😉

Kind staff lovely food .AMAZING!!!!😍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best coffee in the area, the cappuccino is perfect! Sandwiches are great and staff is friendly.

my favourite breakfast in the area. can never go wrong with anything: shakshuka - yum, turkish breakfast is to die for. friendly staff, nice ambience.go for it

Amazing food, cosy and friendly staff. They make a great coffee.

Friendly service and a great breakfast, cosy with a pleasant interior and great coffee, the interior isn't large and spacious like other places but it makes up on big taste.

This guy cares about food! The kitchen is open and so you see 'H' preparing the food, often using his own home-made marinades and salad dressings. This guy, his cafe and coffee are unique in this area, a wonderful find.

Corner Cafe has really nice food for little money and great coffee.
