Albion - London

Good for breakfast and lunch, using local English materials. Friendly staff are nice and very comfortable to stay in the restaurant.

Admittedly it's been a couple years since I've made it to weekend brunch here.

Nice breakfast/brunch place for a brunch in Shoreditch area, having decent coffeeQuite pricey though for what you are getting for.

Most of the review here tell the same story, all bark no bite. The setting is pleasant, staff are nice enough but the food is bang average doesn't represent good value in my opinion. There are likely better options locally. I'm told pre-refit it was better? Buttermilk chicken was a redeeming factor but really only took this place from a 2 to a 3 star job.

After being regular customers at Albion cafe, we were eager to visit the newly refurbished cafe now called the Boundary. Unfortunately, we found that the deli had been removed and the bustling cafe we once loved had been replaced by a quiet, upscale bar. Despite these changes, we decided to give it a try. I inquired about getting gluten-free toast with my eggs, only to discover that it had been removed from the menu, leaving me with no GF options. The tea arrived without milk and the orange juice was forgotten. The food, although tasty, was served lukewarm. The menu choices were now limited compared to before. Albion was London's top spot for breakfast/brunch before the renovation, and we used to visit regularly. Unfortunately, the new Boundary venue falls short in my opinion, and we won't be returning as regulars. We are now on the lookout for a new breakfast spot in London.
