BLACK EYE COFFEE — Restaurant in London

We had the mushrooms, avocado, a brownie, butter croissant, pain au chocolat, and coffees, and can I just say, the experience was ridiculous. The brownie is like a soft, gooey block of chocolate, the croissant perfectly crisp and flaky yet soft and buttery inside, the mushrooms were decadent (I usually find mushrooms a bit of a sad side at cafes, these were scrumptious, tangy and creamy and seasoned perfectly), the coffee was fully flavoured and perfect temperature, and the pain au chocolat? Oh boy. Soft, custardy inside that helped spread the chocolatey-ness throughout, crispy outside...we burst out laughing is disbelief.

To be nitpicky (to make this review believable), the avocado might have benefitted from a little more seasoning. But why focus on that when you're faced with the best French pastries this side of the channel...and far better coffee?

Also pet friendly, our dog was so warmly welcomed, and delivered a fresh bowl of water before we even had a chance to ask. These folks know what...

THE BEST COFFEE around town, hands down! As antipodeans, my partner and I are usually disappointed with the coffee in London, so we were delighted to discover this local, independent, family-run cafe with consistently amazing coffee. They also offer delicious baked goods and bagel/sourdough sandwiches all freshly pre-made in-house each day, as well as a lovely dine-in menu to enjoy out the back covered garden for when we are out of lockdown/higher tiers. I love that they make an effort to be sustainable, using compostable coffee cups and lids, etc, and they are also pet friendly! The staff are incredibly lovely and welcoming, and they have stayed open for takeaway the entire time during COVID which has been such a blessing. Pick up a coffee and treat from Black Eye on your way to Greenwich Park and your day will certainly...

Disappointed with our visit. Despite some good reviews it certainly didn’t live up to it. We ordered and were left without food for over 30mins, so long that another staff member came to take our order thinking we hadn’t ordered! Even more baffling was people who had been seated after us seemed to get their food first. I had the Boston Beans, which for the nearly £14 was very underwhelming. I was expecting homemade baked beans, not just beans from a can with some herbs and spices thrown in. If there was any pulled pork in it I certainly couldn’t find it! One slice of toast wasn’t really enough either. My partner had Eggs Royal, which for the most part was ok, although sauce wasn’t very warm. Had high hopes but was sadly left very...
