Atmosphere & Vibe
Pros:
"This place has amazing vibes, super pretty and trendy, and kinda tucked away from built up areas so it feels special."
"The atmosphere is fantastic. It can vary between nice and chill and bustling which is great depending on your mood."
"It was a chilled and relaxed environment and a perfect start to a fabulous evening!"
"Amazing atmosphere, staff that love their jobs and more than welcome to make your time great."
"The atmosphere is vibrant and is my go to place for a pint."
"Perfect escapism is the word that comes to mind."
"Great atmosphere with a sunny garden area to sit in."
Cons:
"The coffee is OK and they play rubbish euro music loudly throughout the entire place including the garden which in my opinion makes the place a lot less cool and classy than it could be… But the food is ok."
"Outdoor seating is nice but VERY loud music."
"Decent food but poor customer service! Arrived here at the start of the day when we were the only ones inside - the music was on very loudly and our baby was sleeping so we asked if they would mind turning down the music whilst we were the only customers inside."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"Only £3.50 for a glass of red as well, c'est Bon."
"The food is simply incredible - massive portions, so order with caution!"
"Best. Breakfast. Ever. I have lived on three continents and eaten a lot of great breakfasts around the world so this is quite a statement."
"Fabulous cafe. Unusual menu with a cuban twist. Very friendly staff. Great fun, relaxed atmosphere."
"Easily the tastiest burrito I've ever had."
"The Cuban inspired food was just amazing! We had the chicken burrito."
"What a great find, although I am not a vegan, I joined my daughter to eat the vegan tacos and they were absolutely superb."
Cons:
"Lovely place, but incredibly expensive to eat... I'm not sure how they can justify £7 for blueberry pancakes, or £8.50 for what is a very simple cooked breakfast."
"The food ordered was rather poor and not tasty. The coffee unfortunately was very bad."
"The coffee is OK and they play rubbish euro music loudly throughout the entire place including the garden which in my opinion makes the place a lot less cool and classy than it could be… But the food is ok."
"I personally thought the food was overpriced for the quality."
"Nice place tucked away, with a nice garden and terrace, and decent food. However £10.25 for a burrito is a major ripoff."
"Prices very high."
"I personally thought the food was overpriced for the quality. £8.50 for hybrid English breakfast with burnt bacon wasn't ideal."
Service & Staff
Pros:
"Left two bikes in with Nigel for a last minute service and he had them sorted out within 3 days- excellent service with all the extras covered."
"Lovely venue and amazing pre-concert food, drinks and outside space. Super friendly staff, far better value than limited choice inside the London Stadium."
"Service with a sincere smile, I’ll be back for lunch and for one of the enormous Cuban sandwiches that were eyeing me up as much as I was them."
"Such friendly staff, and tasty food too."
"Staff always work with a smile and happily adapt dishes to your individual requirements."
"Excellent food and at a good price, served by friendly staff and in a lovely chilled ambience."
"The staff were so friendly and the owner made an effort with all customers."
Cons:
"He said 'it's not my fault, I don't have to give you your money back'."
"Friendly staff, but since the new management the coffee is what I’d expect from Costa."
"We were treated rather rudely by our server who seemed to be impatient to get our order & accused us of confusing him."
"Appalling customer experience. The kitchen appeared to be empty so I asked if it was closed today. ‘Yes’ came the terse reply with no apology or explanation."
"Avoid this place for your safety and if you don't want to give your money to a bad person, please."
"The owner is probably the rudest person I have ever met."
"I am not sure if there was table service or not as we had get everything ourselves."
Accessibility & Location
Pros:
"A real hidden gem. Been going here for a few years now as I often use it as a pit stop on a weekend run or cycle."
"Great place to visit if you are walking or cycling in the Olympic Park area or Stratford."
"A gem of a café that is best reached by bike though I'm sure there are other ways to get to it! I like to arrive earlyish for breakfast in the garden."
"Located on the edge of the Olympic Park, this is a great little spot for a bite to eat and a few drinks before ABBA Voyage."
"A great place to stop during a visit to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the View Tube has been there rather longer."
"This is the most perfectly placed cafe ever! At the end of the Green Way near the Olympic Park this cafe has very friendly staff, great coffee, and also fantastic food."
"Stuck between nowhere and nowhere, is this wonderful little café / art space and bicycle hire location."
Cons:
"Really nice community vibe cafe next to Olympic Park. Unfortunately, this is not reflected in the prices."
"The only drawback is that it is difficult to get to if you have trouble walking."
"It's a bit isolated so you better get here with a bicycle."
"Walked all the way up the hill to find a sign on the door saying the place is closed pending new management."
"Sadly this lovely cafe is currently closed. Hope new people will take over soon!"

"If I'm sitting in a cafe, I expect to have a ceramic cup, especially if paying several quid for it... But the staff say they only have take away cups.... How environmentally unfriendly!"
Pet & Family Friendliness
Pros:
"It is also pet friendly - me and my friends always bring our dogs and hang out in the garden."
"This is also a dog friendly cafe."
Cons:
"It calls itself pet friendly and is so friendly that they allow dogs of aggressive breeds in without a muzzle (which is clearly illegal)."
