This café is a hidden treasure. During our stay at a nearby hotel, we decided to skip the crowded breakfast line and try this place instead. We were pleasantly surprised by the cozy atmosphere, delicious coffee, and the customizable bread with eggs and additional toppings that made for a fantastic morning meal on a rainy day.

As 4 of us were walking in, the barista barked can you shut the door (no please) before the 4th person actually came in. We asked to go outside to the back (because one of us is on chemo and immunocompromised). It was completely empty but he said there was a 15 minute wait! This rude service isn 't the norm at this cafe but today was very disappointing.

Fantastic first visit. Well looked after and serviced was exceptional. When taking my order the waitress took my dietary requirements and and made some recommendations which I accepted and ordered. I had the scrabbled eggs on bread with a pot of English tea. They compliment each other extremely well and was not too much or too little. Definitely returning when next in the area! View menu

What an absolute gem of a place. We went in with a hungry teen after a trip to nearby Van Gogh experience. Quickly seated and orders taken. Tap water and drinks delivered quickly followed by buttermilk pancakes with syrup and choc chips and bananas for the teen. Delicious poached eggs on toast for me and cheese toasties for hubby. Prices as one would expect for the area. Owner and staff attentive and fantastic and good facilities. Loved it xxx

No menu outside so we went in..it seems a trendy sort of place unlike the menu. Very expensive and poorly cooked. Two poached eggs on thinly sliced sourdough were overcooked. Roll with one rasher of streaky bacon, an overcooked hard yolk fried egg, no choice of poached) some barely visible cheese, 2 small Americano .complaints were brushed off with total apathy. Good quality and service no resemblance to the breakfast we had elsewhere this morning. Not recommended unless you have money to waste £22 and still hungry

Trade is the best run venue for coffee in London. Quite simply, there is nowhere as good (I have tried finding it on those rare moments when Trade is closed for business). What makes Trade unique is that it doesn't ever really change: in this case meaning that the highest standards are impeccably maintained for (apparently) eternity! When you develop a fondness for the very particular vibe, with the exceptional coffee preparation that is unbelievably consistent complemented by the outstanding food, you'll simply not want to go anywhere else. And this is just what has happened to me. And all of this is of course down to the amazing staff and the superbly talented management. View menu

We tried to book a table for this cafe via telephone and email during the week but couldn't get through, and didn't get a response. We tried our luck and managed to get a table for early lunch at the weekend. The cafe is modern and minimalistic, with a cute outdoor terrace at the back that has small potted plants. It was bustling when we visited, but the ambience wasn't helped by the clashing of plates that staff were clearing behind the serving station. It took over 45 minutes for food to arrive after we'd ordered. Sandwiches at Trade are a great choice if you're looking for a tasty bite to eat but the prices are quite high. I had poached eggs unfortunately the yolks were chalky, not soft a...

We visited here after booking a breakfast table nearby to our hotel in Spitalfields area. The restaurant was bustling but tables were very very close together too close I would say. We waited 45 minutes for our food and then saw people who ordered after us receiving their food. I asked a member of staff where ours was, and then watched a series of events which made it clear the server had not put our order through at all! We were offered complimentary cakes but still waited another 15 minutes for our food, by which time some tables had ordered, eaten and left! They suggested the kitchen ‘didn’t get the ticket’ rather than being honest about the fact he had forgotten while hugging his colleag...

My partner and I visited this cafe during a weekend trip to London. We were drawn in by the enticing smells emanating from the kitchen as we strolled around the city. Although we arrived near closing time, we couldn't resist taking home a couple of desserts from their display. We chose the blueberry and coconut cake and the oat and raisin cookie, both of which were delicious. The blueberry cake was our favorite, with a delectable icing in the middle. The next morning, we returned for brunch and enjoyed two dirty chai lattes, a Cuban club sandwich, and buttermilk pancakes with banana, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and maple syrup. The portions were generous and satisfying. We explored other... View menu
