Reviews of Beans & Barley

S. E.

Not bad! I had avo on toast. The dried parsley and chilli was a weird thing to put on it (expected fresh). Also I dont get why people spread the avocado on your toast for you. You end up with super soggy toast. Especially if you put the egg on too. It was a shame - couldn't eat most of the bread. Also my poached eggs were overdone. The turkish coffee wasn't what I'm used to... It was 2/3 coffee grains and served with a shot of cold water (instead of hot). The staff were quite nice but difficult to communicate with. It had a front room kind of vibe.

Shakshuka was good. My partner has celiac disease though, and when we explained this to the waitress taking the order we were told there was gluten free bread (we had initially said we could go without bread). It came out and looked exactly like the regular bread... we checked again with another waitress and she also assured us it would be gluten free. It definitely wasn't as he suffered a reaction soon after we left. Disappointing this wasn't taken seriously :/

Very lovely place, delicious food and smily, professional staff. What can I ask more ! Also defo their cocktails, best in harringay 😍 Absolutely recommend!!

M. A.

Better then average breakfast. The Mediterranean was good, but the tomatoes and chilli omelette was disappointingly poor in that the tomatoes were not chosen for an omelette - unripe tomatoes aren't for omelettes!! It was also supposed to have an Indian twist to it, but non existent. The coffee was good and well rounded. If I could take half a star away for the cigarette smoke finding is way in from their "outdoor"seating area, I would.

H. L.

The food is really good and it's almost cheap for the quality and quantity of the portions you get! The ambience is very pretty too, perfect to study or hang out for a catch up. Also, a little side note, but i loved every single song that was in the playlists!! Truly made my experience even better!! Whoever plays the music does a great job

T. A.

We used to come here ages ago before lockdown and me and my partner have been itching to come back. The owner/manager is a gentleman who takes care of his customers. We had the Tuna Melt panini and Jacket potato. Salad comes fresh and drenched in this unique pomegranate sauce. Food and service is amazing. Happy to be back. And compliments to the gentleman who brought our drinks. Always had a smile on his face. Thank you.

z. k.

Friendly helpful staff. Nice cake, coffee etc. Very comfortable armchair, sofa.

D. Y.

I’m a vegetarian and it is very difficult to find delicious veg foods. This place is really worth to give a try their food. I love it, strongly recommend !

T. C.

OMG OMG OMG. I just had the best cocktails ever, very happy I found my fav place. Specially doctor was so kind and lovely (:

F.

Lovely, cosy, child-friendly place! I went there as my lovely friend was having a farewell party dinner. The staff were so kind, helpful and went up and beyond making sure we had a good time. Beautiful array of food and a great value set menu for £20. Highly recommend!!!!

J. M.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely brunch here, fresh ingredients, amazing sour dough, and just the right portion size - we were both very impressed. Their fresh juices and coffees are top-notch as well; again, just the right size (think continental cafe culture) with a handful of non-dairy alternatives to choose from, all at a very fair price point. The waitresses very absolutely lovely and very attentive, too. Comes highly recommended! ✨

F. N.

Great place, great service, great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, all for pretty good prices, especially as it's a restaurant and bar combo, which is great for all audiences and occasions. By the way, the milkshakes' options are amazing.

E. C.

Pics tell everything, I can’t say more 😍😍

A. A.

The food here is sooooooooo amazing. The best I’ve had in London. I’m mad at myself that I didn’t try it earlier. Please do yourself a favor and eat here.

H. T.

Went today for the second time with a friend and our kids..amazing place, staff super friendly and amazing food!!even have an amazing tiny soft play for kids age 0 to 3 years.

M. 4.

Nice coffee, although the cakes tent to be dry. Good coffee that can be be prepared with an almond or oat milk. The breakfast range is superb! Poached eggs, avocados or salmon on toast... Beautiful!

T.

I can definitely recommend this place. The lattr is delicous. The cappuccino was a bit stronger but also good. The food was very good! We came here 3 times in one week. The eggs royal were so good. I also enjoyed the avocado toast and croque madame. Lots of mums here, cos there is room for the prams. That is great. Fantastic interior. Industrial hipster style.

M. M.

Use to come here with my little ones to play in the play area. Recently come back post lockdown for coffee and light bite with kids. Lovely coffee. However it's changed considerably. The outside front area has smoking customers using it which means the cigarette smoke enters the main eating area and kids play area. Despite closing door, the smoke is still entering.Rather grim especially considering the cafe ought to be well ventilated and they have the kids area. Food still good.

W. W.

This was a very pleasant cafe that is full of light, definitely a good place to be on a sunny day.

S. E.

It was too hot inside to sit. Really unbearable. So we sat outside which was lovely and not too cold. The hot and cold drinks are well made and taste good

S. W.

Great place for a very tasty coffee. Nice and relaxed with very friendly staff and great service

E. K.

Highly experienced and friendly staff, quality healthy food lovely place for families too..

B. V.

Awesome avocado on toast, delicious green smoothie. Staff was very polite, let us in without booking, didn't mind that we were chatting for hours. Nice Latin music in background, great place for casual weekend catch up or brunch - they serve breakfast menu pretty much the whole day.

w. l.

My usual (Moka) was closed I so tried Beans and Barley and was pleasantly surprised. Food was nice, service was friendly... will return to try the cakes and coffee.

E. P.

Went there on a cold morning for a coffee with my friend. Was not too busy, the staff was really friendly and made as some nice coffees. The environment gave us a good vibe and a nice mood.

A. M. A.

So happy to have such an awesome coffee shop nearby! The staff here is lovely, as in really lovely. The place is cozy and welcoming, with super nice deco made of a combination of new and repurposed furniture. It has a big space for kids to play and the whole ambience is super chill and unpretentious. Also, the food is seriously good! Great rec for brunch, absolutely!

M. T.

Very nice coffee bar shop , friendly staffs .

A. B.

Very reasonably priced food with generous portions, and a nice atmosphere. A play area for kids too, so attracts a lot of young families on the weekend, which can get a bit hectic. Service was okay, but nothing special

I. P.

The waitresses were really nice, but the food and coffee were just okay. It's too hot to sit inside, the terrace is too loud (on a main street). It's great if you come with kids, as there is a playing area, but not if you are looking for some tranquility.

M. N.

The coffee, food and pastries here are great, but I’m really not a fan of the recent renovation. There’s one long seating area next to the bar which is crammed. The bar has a little step down area where you can fall in to if you stand too close to the bar. The seating area by the entrance had been reduced, meaning you are likely to end up sitting on the long thin table, which is too small for eating on.

M. H.

Visited this place twice in past half year. Once for a coffee to go. Great coffee. 2nd time for a takeaway Halloumi&Avocado wrap and the service was very nice on both occasions. Wrap was ready in couple of minutes, very nicely packed in a recyclable packaging. Need to point out that it was actually nicely arranged in the packaging so one of the stars go to presentation too. The wrap was delicious too. The venue looks nice with chilled atmosphere, I will surely return to eat in as well and try some other stuff from the menu.

S. E.

Good food and nice outdoor seating. This place has had a major overhaul inside and out, it's now one of the nicer places to eat a casual meal on green lanes. The service was friendly and attentive, but I did feel sorry as they circled the room looking for the people who ordered, eventually doing the same with our meals.

R. G.

This place looks really nice and has a great atmosphere and good coffee. However my husband and I found the soft play area really dirty and had spoken to some friends that had said the same. It's a shame as it could be really great. If you don't have children it's a 5/5 for sure.

C. B.

I eat in this great spot often! This is my favorite restaurant to to have a good dinner. I go there frequently. The food is excellent, the workers are professional and the rates are affordable. I like going in this place over a rich meal.

S. M. I. H. S.

Grear food, nice environment, excellent customer service.

R. B.

Not sure on this place. Food is great! Staff are hit and miss, some are more enthusiastic/helpful than others. Management policy was not to allow us tap water on the hottest day of the year because of covid - nonsense, just give people tap water... it's a legal requirement!

J. B.

Lots of light, great atmosphere & good Internet. Though I can't eat the food here anymore, after finding several hairs in my crushed avo and eggs here. Makes my stomach turn thinking bout it. Still best cafe for internet and atmosphere in area so still go on to work and for coffee. Also lovely staff.

E. F.

Best mocca I’ve ever had! ☺️ I’ll definitely come back.

Y. K.

Good-looks, Pointless Organic Food trends, and a minimalist environment a great coffee shop do not make. 1) The coffee is really good. 2) Most of the staff give you the feeling that they're always having a bad day. 3) Seats are really uncomfortable. If you bring along a laptop you can't adjust either the table or the seat according to your needs. 4) All the cakes are gluten free. Why? Not more than 1% of the population is gluten-intolerant. And if you're not gluten-intolerant, avoiding gluten is actually bad for you. This is just another coffee place trying to take advantage of the new trends of collective ignorance, and what looks good but isn't necessarily comfortable.

R. K.

Lovely coffee, chilled atmosphere, family friendly.

D. D.

They have nice cocktails and food!!! Customer service is perfect they are so kind and friendly!

D. D.

Delicious coffee and always great service!

T.

Excellent ambiance, great coffee, good vibe, recommended positively.

M. S.

Such a great little spot, play area for the kids, alcohol for the adults. I only tried the jacket potato which was huge but the food looked nice and the staff are really accomodating and friendly. Would definitely go back.

C. D.

Great place with lovely food and coffee.

S. M.

Used to love going here but it's getting pretty grotty. The kids place area is truly filthy. The menu could do with changing up a bit (literally the same dry cakes week in week out). It's a shame, because it's otherwise cosy and pleasant.

S. C.

The 'white chocolate cake' was a little bland and they only had 'healthy'/'alternative' other options....so polenta etc....I like some stodgy, tasty cake options. The coffee came in *small* glasses (hot coffee in a glass....impractical). Some sandwiches were displayed on top of the counter, uncovered, pretty much at head height and right near the till....so god knows how many sneezes and nasties had been added by the time of eating! The soft play area is amazing and the look of the place is fab. Was a shame about the coffee and cake. Will give it another try soon and write a new review if its better.

H. A.

Very good place to spend time with family and also very cozy! Management is very polite and caring and also the kids area is a plus and a must for families with kids. Coffe is the best in the area with out a doubt

S. C.

it was my birthday and the guy made a really nice coffee and he gave me a cake on the house and I really enjoyed it! only problem was that suddenly the place get stuffed by children crying and a lady singing with the guitar, nice entertainment for them not for me because I couldn't work anymore..

S.

Excellent cappuccino. Lovely veggie food and cake. Great place to take a laptop, good WiFi.

2.

It is a trendy eatery in Haringey. I only came for a a hot drink to warm me up on a cold evening and this place did not disappoint. I had fresh mint leaves tea, and the shop was nice and warm when i entered. They also have a comedy night on Saturday night's but you do have to pay a £5 admission fee. But is is only for one side of the shop where the comedian it talking.

L. O.

Great coffee and nice atmosphere 👏🏼
