The 20 Best Breakfast spots in Barking

“Always the best friendly service and delicious coffee!”

“Honestly the best cafe in London! Star quality food, the chef is simply amazing! The staff here are truly the best, every time I come here with my family they always make me feel so welcome I can’t recommend enough.”

“You know that moment when you walk into an Italian Bengali restaurant and your brain hesitates? Like… is this going to be another chaotic, Bangla-fusion-gone-wrong, 47-page menu, customer-service-optional situation? Or just maybe a proper Italian spot that makes you think, “Hey hey hey… we might have something here.” Well, I’m glad to report: this place is firmly in the hey hey hey category. The lasagne and the carbonara (halal, of course) absolutely slapped. One bite and I was instantly transported back to my backpacking days in Milan and Rome minus the hostel bunk beds and questionable Wi-Fi. The pizza? Banging. The pasta? Spot on. The lasagne? A hug from Nonna herself. Now yes… I do question their 1,000-item menu, including a full English breakfast, burgers and probably a weather forecast. But somehow, this Italian-Bengali joint is a hidden gem, and the guys in the kitchen genuinely do the Italian dishes the Italian way. Pay them a visit. Support a local business (in cash, IYYK). They do accept card as well but there are some cash deals for collection which are great. The atmosphere and tables are like an east end cafe but the food is banging. Your taste buds will thank you and me.”

“Fresh food. Fairly priced. Friendly staff. Great variety of food. Just what I needed.”

“We stumbled into this restaurant on a walk. Tourist stuff ya know. And we were blown away with how good the food was! The service was superb and quick too. If you're looking for a new place to try look no further :)”

“A short walk from Canning Town station, the staff were friendly, the food options were great, and the coffee was excellent. We had a mix-&-match salad, scrambled eggs, and eggs benedict. We also shared a dessert, and each got coffees. Well priced, nice decor, and good food”

“The food is so good that it reminded me of my homeland. I ordered creamy chicken and it was something else, and it comes with bread and butter. The butter is another story, it was the one that reminded me of my homeland. The final one, the desert that we ordered, Trilige, was soft and juicy, incredible!”

“£5 for three filling omelette with chips and beans is a good price. Swift nice service and overall good place for good meal, for not so London's price. Definitely recommended to visit and try.”

“Wow wow wow .. went into this place for a bacon roll and noticed some chicken on the griddle that looked amazing and straight away changed my mind and went for daily special . It was amazing and the size of the meal was crazy large . The chicken was perfectly seasoned the rice was cooked to perfection and the salad had a great dressing .. all I can say was this meal was delicious and perfect. Definitely see you again and thank you”

“This is the third time I have been to Brothers Cafe and it certainly won't be the last time. Everything about this place is great! The food is great, extremely tasty. The service is first class and the atmosphere of the cafe is superb. You are always welcomed with a smile and a genuine desire to provide great service. Every member of staff is always polite. I always enjoy coming here for my lunch. Great service as always. Keep up the great work.”

“Great friendly service from staff food is lovely. Very clean including the toilets I have never seen toilets so clean in a cafe . Thank you guys x”

“1. Nice peaceful place to be if you want to spend quality time, but money was taken twice in my account trying to call to understand why never anyone answered no good service. I could have given 5 stars but they missed the chance 2. My second feedback I change my feed back from 3 to 5 stars as I mentioned above I liked the place, I went back again to find out why my money was taken twice. This nice and beautiful waitress came up to me saying I left behind my cards and driving licence, she run after me but not see me anywhere, the only way to attract my attention was to tap a £5 pounds bill. Long story short, they gave me my £5 back and my cards, we spend a very time talking with my family there and my little one loved the cake. Thank you Bruce for your kind gesture and service and apologise for misunderstanding you. As I said to your Boss change the contact number and make someone available to answer. See you again next time”

“Delicious authentic Turkish food, excellent customer service and very generous with the portion size. Great value for money will come again Insha'Allah”

“Very nice and tasty food 10 out of 10. Guy serving was really nice and friendly. Lady at the back was really nice and friendly. Cooked fresh and tasty food. Great service. Highly recommended to everyone, will definitely come and visit again 5 star service.”

“Nice looking place and good to see in Plaistow. Food tastes nice, is value for money, however would be good if they offered halal options to reflect the local demographic. Friendly staff, lovely food freshly cooked at a good price. The place was clean, busy but not full.”

“Loved the food here, lovely selection of healthy vs regular, great prices and lovely friendly and humble hard working staff. Thank you.”

“I always go steam and bean with my friend. It is a very nice place and the staff is very kind. The panini's are my favourites along with the chicken burgers. The place is sanitary and kept a high standard too . Would very much recommend”

“10/10 and I am fussy when it comes to cafe food as I find most cafes don’t cook their food Throughly. The food was absolutely perfect couldn’t fault it one bit. Price is reasonable, some may even say the prices are within budget. The lady who took my order came Out of her way to ask me about how I want my eggs and meat, you don’t get this service anywhere else. I’m excited to go back next time I am on the barking road. Definitely would recommend this place”

“Popped in this morning to get a berry cooler to take the edge off this heatwave. Service was quick and friendly and I was in an out in no time at all. Is worth noting that there is a step into the store. I was with a wheelchair user but was in a rush so didn't try to get them into the store so apologies if a ramp is available on request. If it is it may be worth replying to this for future reference for others as well as myself. Reading older reviews I wasnt sure what to expect but I genuinely couldn't fault the staff at all and will absolutely be stopping by again if I'm in that part of town”

“Ide like to share that a man called ronny served me today he was very polite couldn't do enough to help I will be visiting again very polite staff great atmosphere”

“I had an amazing experience at this Nigerian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and cooked with so much authenticity. I had Abula and it tasted like home. I could tell the ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous. They could do a little more with the restaurant, some clean up and repairs but the staff made me feel right at home. If you’re looking for the best Nigerian food, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend!”

“Good Quality Coffee, fresh bakery, lovely breakfast and lunch”

“All of their foods were very tasty, authentic and pure Bangladeshi taste.”

“Very good service by Receptionist Shubham, very well mannered and extremely professional. Answered all my questions and swiftly dealt with my concerns. Enjoy the Area and the hotel overall. Will recommend.”
