E5 BAKEHOUSE REVIEWS
E5 has been my North star in my time living in London. The one thing I can rely on for a good day... the place that reminds me what i love about hackney. It's the one cafe I always feel welcome to sit and work or read. Every food item I've ordered has always left me with a smile, and I didn't know you could crave literal toast with Jam until I had their sourdough.
A cool place without trying too hard. Coffee was top notch, the blondie was superb and the kimchi and cheese toastie hit the spot. Would love to have been able to buy some of their shop ingredients to take home too.
Such a lovely brunch spot. Small but delicious menu, great coffee, and plenty of space to enjoy these in the garden when it's warm. It's a bakery so expect top bread, pastries and cakes. Nice and attentive staff. Love it!

GAIL'S BAKERY SOHO REVIEWS
Fantastic bakery and breakfast spot!!! We travel a lot and I usually make a rule to not go back to the same place twice so that we can try multiple places. We went to Gail's twice on our short trip and I have no regrets. I was impressed by everything I tried. The almond croissants were phenomenal and the small little honey cakes were our favorite. If you prefer savory, the slider was packed full of flavor! Honestly, there wasn't an item, that our family didn't rave over. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. All-around great spot to grab breakfast and coffee.
Lovely bakery with great coffee and even better food. This particular location is quite small, but during our short visit in London we went to GAIL’s 4 times despite not wanting to repeat spots - their pistachio rose cake is that good. Their savoury items are quite tasty and filling. Their pricing is 10-15p cheaper for takeaway than dine in (at other locations).
Fantastic place to have a delicious sweet! The coffee was perfect too! The two girls were really nice and we had a perfect start for our day in london!

Ole & Steen is an absolute delight! This charming bakery offers a wide array of delectable treats that will satisfy any craving. From their freshly baked bread to their irresistible pastries, every bite is a little piece of heaven.The atmosphere at Ole & Steen is warm and inviting, creating the perfect backdrop for a cozy coffee or a quick snack.
My new favorite cafe study spot. Perfect for me to complete work and tasks. Large range of snacks,cakes, desserts and foods to enjoy! More than friendly staff are incredibly attentive to me and they always are nice to talk to at least the ones I've talked to. Truly a magnificent cafe to work quietly in though you may need noise cancelling headphones sometimes.
Absolutely stunning, great service & friendly staff. Ham &cheese toastie was delicious with a perfectly made latte. The general manager is lovely as always, she has really turned this place around as I've been coming for years. Love the store.
