“Brilliant family run cafe, consistently great food and very friendly staff - my favourite cafe in London!”

“Amazing! Came here for brunch over Easter weekend and, genuinely, the Dutch baby & fried chicken is 1 of the very best brunch dishes I have ever had. Simply delightful. Staff were great; really happy & friendly. Reasonably priced too with a great selection of cakes & pastries. We will be back for sure.”

“Great cafe, but the middle class yuppies will not closes the door when they come in, as there are too busy running after Peaches and Milo in the nicest way possible letting them do what ever they want.”

“Beam is the rightfully one of the best if not the best brunch places in north London. The venue is welcoming and cozy. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and attentive. Food wise all salads are great, had the grilled chicken today and it was simply perfect. The goats cheese salad is also awesome. Also the Beam Benedict is a great twist of the original with lovely hollandaise sauce. You have to try this place and you'll become a fan.”

“Lovely coffee and amazing selection of cakes! Great place for dog walkers with outdoor under cover seating. Would recommend booking if possible as very popular!”

“Perfect place for first coffee of the day. I love one of the best 'CHAI LATTE', it is amazing. Also good customer service.”

“Great family owned business with fresh home cooked meals as welds as breakfast lunch and deserts”

“My son gets his coffee most mornings when he takes his dog Freddie for a walk. Last week my wife went too and loved it, especially her croissant. Maybe I should try it!!”

“Pretty place with friendly staff. They have great positions in menu. Fresh juices, homemade burger and penne pasta we had were delicious, portions were big. They absolutely deserve 5 stars.”

“These guys are just amazing. The food is made in a clean kitchen and their service is one that makes you want to go back. The best part, is of course, their food. The bagels are delicious and the variety of ingredients could satisfy even the most picky person. They showed great flexibility both when I ate in and when I ordered.”

“Was looking for a local cafe for a vegetarian breakfast with good reviews, we were originally going to another cafe but luckily we decided to try this little gem! We were warmly greeted and seated quickly (given we are in the midst of COVID19). We were given paper menus and all the tables were socially distance well with a track and trace QR code on the door too. It was really well protected and safe for the patrons of the cafe. Our order was taken and we were served an amazing fresh breakfast with a tea each, for me it was a perfect portion (not too much and not too little) and filled me up. Refills were free which was great value given that they came free with our breakfast. The food is fresh and tasty and I highly recommend the vegetarian to fellow veggies or those wanting a leaner option. The hostesses were all friendly and lovely people, from a little chat when ordering to a joke when paying, it made this little cafe pop out and make it feel more like you were at a friends or family members kitchen for brekkie. I only have praise for the ladies (didn’t see any men but if there was them too). Cost was shockingly low and when we were presented with the bill I thought something was missed off but I was told nope that’s all it is, I will be going back for all the reasons listed above. Plus at this price it makes it hard to even make my own brekkie for less. Highly recommend this to all and remember to tip and support these business in these times, they are going above and beyond to keep us safe. Huge thanks to all of the hostesses (and hosts)!”

“Beautiful little coffee house that clearly takes flavour and service dead seriously! The seating area is so pretty and the staff seem really nice!”

“I love the indoor plants, the chill jazz music, and the choice of alt milks at this place. A downside is that the milk (for a flat white) wasn't steamed hot enough and so lacked texture, but the flavour still good, and it's nice to know that the beans are sourced from an independent roastery. The cakes are delicious, if not indulgent. There are also vegan/ gluten free options.”

“Great place for a nice relaxing cup, easy access and parking (free). great lad served us today, done a splendid job on the Latte's, the crema was perfect, the beans roasted well, balance of coffee and milk was great. Top lad thank you. one of the best places in Guildford for coffee, if not the best.”

“My daughter lives in Richmond and this is out go to place every morning I am here. Usually just coffee, which by the way is superb. We had Breakfast this time around though and it was fantastic.”
