Unwind in Barking

“Just used for the 1st time & a lovely cut for our Cockapoo Bobbie. Very content when I picked her up. Already booked for the next visit. Thank you all”

“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.”

“Got my hair done by Ellie today who was amazing! It turned out so gorgeous and I usually get my hair done in a particular place but Ellie did it AMAZINGLY AND FOR SUCH GOOD VALUE. Will be back x”

“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.”

“Fantastic haircut - Paul is a master stylist and really knows his art. Jackie and Paul create such a genuine, proper East End welcome and absolutely cannot be beaten on price or quality!”

“Excellent customer service and communication , good pricing. I’ve been here twice now and they’ve done my hair amazing both times. Don’t think I could move to a new hairstylist after them . Would definitely recommend”

“It was a delight to eat at Alex's Place. We loved every bit of it and the staff were so warm and welcoming. The food was GREAT and so much that my spouse and I could not finish it so we took it home. We ordered a platter and we tried a couple of other dishes on the menu. LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!!”

“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.”

“The food is amazing, such a friendly and welcoming stuff I 100% recommend this place.”

“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!”

“Living in Abbeville Apartments is a wonderful experience that is hard to come by elsewhere.

It's hard not to feel inspired and motivated when you wake up to such a beautiful sight every morning. Overall, living in Abbeville Apartments is a truly delightful experience.”

“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”

“£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.”

“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.”

“Excellent service and reasonable prices”

“I’ve been coming to Baza Barber for three years now, and I make the trip every month all the way from Victoria just to visit my barber with the tattoo. The service here is exceptional—he’s incredibly professional, skilled, and genuinely kind. Every visit feels worth it, not just because of the great haircut but also for the fantastic customer service. If you’re looking for a reliable barber who takes pride in their craft, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

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

“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”

“Proper old skool boozer popped in with the Mrs while out on a Sunday for a few jars.....being a northerner this place reminds me of our pubs up north keep up the good work will be back in the future........”

“This was my fourth visit to Beauty Lounge Salon, and once again, it was such a wonderful experience! The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, and the staff are absolutely amazing. I get my hair done by Arianna, who is hands-down the best hairstylist I’ve ever had. It took me two years to find someone who truly listens to what I want and delivers exactly that. From coloring and highlights to cuts and styling, I’m always beyond happy with the results. My hair looks flawless every time and stays in fantastic condition, even after coloring and bleaching! Arianna is a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients and their hair. I absolutely recommend this salon to anyone looking for exceptional service and amazing results!”

“Best nails shop i ever been , staff are so kind and professional, im always leave this shop with most beautiful nails”

“Lots of food variety and plenty of Romanian products”

“Friendly staff, great little place to get snacks, and some daily essentials.”

“I hope this cafe never closes and helped to be maintained and be even better. The cafe is so important to families and the local community. Sadly Barking has become an absolute rookery , and barking park once being a landmark is one of the very few things left that gives the town any appeal and would be in despair without it. Keep the cafe, and the warm friendly people who run it and ai hope the local government make it even great again.”

“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.”

“The staff are polite and friendly, the staff are there to listen to their customers”

“22/09/22 Discovered this Afro Hair hairdressers randomly this morning. I requested an appointment via WhatsApp and I got responded to straight away. Victoria is a multi-skilled Hairdresser from Nigeria doing every kind of hairstyle you can think of. Today Victoria achieved my cornrow extensions perfectly (not too tight at all). Victoria finished my hair off by setting it with hot water, olive oil sheen spray and even styling my edges with the best gel ever (Eco Styler). Thank you so much ⭐️ Victoria ⭐️”
