I am an avid cafe hopper, and any time I am working from home I’m always looking for a cafe that can meet quite a few expectations , and I’m happy to say that Long White Cloud Bakery has repeatedly surpassed them! The coffee? Excellent. Every coffee I’ve tried (I’ve been about 7 times now) has hit the spot Baked goods? Wonderful. Very varied and creative, and they always have tasters out so you can try out a new bake every time Seating? They have 6 tables at the back, and while you don’t get much sunlight, it can seat around 15-20 people The service? Extremely friendly and welcoming. I wouldn’t say I’m a regular but I pop by every few weeks and I’ve been surprised that some staff have recognised me. Always happy to talk you through the menu and make polite conversation. This cafe probably has the best service I’ve ever experienced in London Pricing? Relatively decent. I usually come for a coffee and a sweet treat and to be honest it’s cheaper than some other cafes in the area with better quality. I would say that sandwiches/lunch food prices are standard for hackney, so I wouldn’t say expensive. But paying £3-4 for a coffee and £3-£4 for a delicious pastry is not bad for London. Wifi - pretty good. I’ve always been working in my laptop when I’ve visited. Once the wifi wasn’t working but every other time has been fine. I’ve always come on weekdays so it hasn’t been super busy and I’ve been lucky to have a lot of space to work. The music and ambience is brilliant too!! I’ve not felt the need to use my AirPods because I’ve been quite enjoying their playlists. I’ve found that any time I’m venturing out and just want a reliable cafe that can meet all the things I need, I just head to this cafe because I know I won’t be let down. Absolutely recommend a millions times over ❤️

This is the best cafe, possibly in the world. The Chef is just incredible, from the breakfast eggs to the sandwiches to the soup. Everything. All homemade and full of so many natural goodness. The coffee that Ed makes is just another level. And the fresh buns they make every morning, something to be addicted to. Couldn’t recommend this place more!!! Thanks so much for making our days.
