Memorable experiences in Barking

“Bought their cheapest set breakfast for £6.50. It came with fried bread but I was asked if I wanted to swap it for toast so I thought that was good customer service but I declined. Nice big, tasty coffee. Sausage could have been a bit more 'meaty'. Cooked to order. New photo added in July 2024.”

“A full English in East London for a tenner in 2024?! Someone pinch me! What a delicious hidden gem in East Ham! Why it was empty at 9:30am is beyond belief, but hey, no complaints from me. Coffee (delicious, I must say) and toast included as well. There's gotta be a catch somewhere, right? I've been back a few times since discovering this place, and the owners have been incredibly polite, with the food spot-on every time. Thank you, Pop-In Cafe!”

“Lovely atmosphere created by the one and only Neil. He genuinely brings light to the place. Thank you so much!!”

“I bought my phone from there, it's been 2 years”

“Proud to say that I'm a repeat customer for MJ and he never fails with his area of work he got avcreative mind and can also freehand your tattoos as he done for me in the passed I highly recommend him and have no regrets using him”

“Came barking to visit family and we ate here. The place was very clean and the food was delicious and very welcoming staff”

“Bruce was really helpful and listened to exactly what we wanted from our Japan trip and tailored a package to meet our needs. Helpful, responsive and professional service.”

“Popped in yesterday last minute outfit changes tried loads clothes on, I was probably abit of a nightmare customer, however found something I like after the owner kept pulling stuff out packets and I was turning my nose up at it. Got there in the end. Customer service was 11/10 genuinely good store and couldn’t have asked for better customer service. Thanks guys”

“Great neighbourhood cafe. Cozy and friendly hence difficult to tear yourself away! Cornerstone Community Coffee shop is a friendly space where people can just find someone to talk to and get excellent coffee and light meals at affordable prices, or free in some circumstances. It's run by volunteers from charity - East 13 Christian Trust.”

“I don’t know how this place doesn’t have more reviews because this place is amazing. They have amazing service very kind and welcoming. I travel from the US and I probably would say this is the best service I’ve ever received and I eat out a lot. I recommend the biryani and their Peri Peri chicken is so good. I promise you will not be disappointed. This will be one of my go to places going forward God willing.”

“I recently visited and was absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful decor and a cozy vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food? Simply divine! Every dish was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Amazing traditional Pakistani food. The service is excellent, the owner (We know him as uncle) has the best hospitality and manners. When uncles not there, his boys, Muazzam, Mukarram and Azam make sure the guests are looked after. 10 out of 10 for me!!”

“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.”

“I went to Nick's when I used live in East Ham in 2015. Now I live in Barkingside but I and my son still go there as I haven't been able to find a better one around my area. I tried others but it never worked out. Nick's was introduced to me by a close relative who has been going there for decades. My son had his first haircut there at the age of 2, absolutely no issue. He and his cousins always loves a visit to the Nick's. Great service and good value for money.”

“Had a great time watching Rapunzel. Both the cast and the pantomime were very entertaining and engaging too. The theatre was also clean and easily accessible. Will be looking out for future events!”

“Great Brazilian bar with delicious caipirinhas and Brazilian snacks and dishes and music that takes me back to my time in Brazil. Staff are always very friendly and my hubbie got a cute surprise birthday cake last time we went. /would recommend”

“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!”

“Parked my car at KiwkFit and this was the best cafe to eat at. Overall it was great, service was amazing. I asked for no beans and mushrooms, the owner decided to give me extra hash brown and bacon which was really nice of her.”

“There are pubs and then there's this chain of beautiful east london pubs, the Boleyn Tavern and the Leyton Engineer plus others I wish to find. All the decor has been reconditioned to the style of its original condition more than a hundred years ago.”

“All the dishes tasted great! Friendly staff. Will definitely return.”

“Outstanding Experience with Bluestone Travel Ltd My family and I recently booked our holiday to Antalya through Bluestone Travel Ltd, and I must say, the service exceeded all expectations. From the initial booking to the return home, Rubel bhai handled every detail with great professionalism and care. He provided us with an incredible deal that included flights, hotel, meals, and full support throughout the trip. What stood out most was his personal attention — calling several times before our flight to ensure we were fully prepared and comfortable, and even following up after our holiday to make sure everything went smoothly. It’s rare to find such dedication and genuine hospitality. I highly recommend Bluestone Travel Ltd and Rubel Bhai for anyone looking for a stress-free, well-organized, and truly memorable holiday experience.”
