Beans & Barley

This is truly a wonderful café with a great atmosphere. The snacks and cocktails are excellent, and enjoying a cigar here is an absolute pleasure. The ambiance makes the whole experience even more special. Being pet-friendly is a huge plus and makes it a place you can visit anytime without hesitation. The staff are always kind and attentive, which makes every visit feel welcoming. The owner’s personal attention and warm attitude each time I come in is genuinely heartwarming. I always enjoy coming here and highly recommend it.

On Saturday, 30th May 2026, we held a surprise 60th birthday celebration for my niece at Beans & Barney Dining on Greens Lane, N8, and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to make our event special. A huge thank you to Boris, Umit, and the lovely ladies Ayse, Ece, and Vanya for their outstanding hospitality and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel incredibly welcome throughout the celebration. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. The team accommodated us perfectly and helped make the occasion truly memorable. I would highly recommend Beans & Barney Dining to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We will definitely be returning. Thank you to Barney, Beans, and the entire team for everything.

The food was absolutely delicious, tasty, fresh, and really well prepared. I stopped by while the kitchen was already closing (or almost closed), but the owner was still kind enough to make me something to eat. He prepared a panini with fries, and as simple as that sounds, it was honestly really, really good. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back, next time while the kitchen is fully open so I can sit down and properly enjoy the meal.

My experience there was absolutely great the waiter was amazing the only disappointment was we had to wait over a hour for our food, food came lukewarm it was dry no flavour at all, we then said politely to the manager that we didn’t enjoy the food and he handled the situation very unprofessional as he didn’t apologise, his facial expression looked very unpleasant and his tone seemed very passive aggressive as we gave our feedback to him, mid conversation he then walked off this is not our first time coming here and we had an amazing experience previously but this time unfortunately wasn’t up to standards. I work in hospitality myself so I know how to deal with this situation and the manager did not handle it very well.

Super friendly staff. Large menu of brunch, lunch and dinner items along with cakes and patisserie counter. Lovely coffees. Although our breakfast arrived lukewarm, the staff replaced the eggs when we requested it. The salads were quite basic with little dressing and we gave feedback direct to the owner who was lovely and checked on us after the meal. Variety options for all dietary requirements. Incredibly friendly staff and nice seating with blankets for the indoor glass conservatory! Space for kids birthday parties.
