Coffee London — Restaurant in London

I visited this coffee shop in Mile End today. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly waitress who made me feel welcome.

I ordered a chicken panini. While the waitress was preparing it, I took some pictures of the menu for my review. Shortly after, a man (appearing to be staff, possibly the chef) approached me in an aggressive manner, demanding to know why I was taking photos. I explained I was doing a review. He told me I could not take pictures, to which I responded that I could, and that I would share my honest opinion. His tone and attitude felt unnecessarily rude and confrontational.

Cheerful and helpful staff and customers. This time one of the customers offered to buy us cups of tea each, and a muffin (where else would that happen) Worth a visit particularly on the way from the hospital to...

I bought an egg, turkey rasher cheese bagel, and chicken sausage roll.

The bagel was nice and tasty, but the sausage roll was a big disappointment, with everything falling apart. I don't recommend anyone buy this item. It's just rubbish.

They accept card and cash payments. They sell Karaka chaii now and might come again just for the chaii.

16/08/2024 Update. I was really disappointed with order this time. I ordered a turkey rasher and sausage sandwich, and I was given a sausage sandwich. I am really disappointed, and having the audacity to charge me the full price is ridiculous....
