Ethical Bean Company Coffee Shop - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

Greg Baker Lovely cafe spot, often go with my workmates on my lunch break. All their food is fresh and delicious. Always get a friendly service. Highly recommend for a quick bite to eat. I enjoy their brunches and salt beef.

Kevin Coaker We were wowed by nearby Café Cecilia earlier this year, so were excited to try INIS for our anniversary dinner. For a dark autumn evening, Hackney Wick was surprisingly lively, and the team at INIS kindly found us a spot for a pre-dinner drink when we arrived 45 minutes early. First off, the three staff on duty were absolutely lovely - friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was fantastic, with the Irish influence shining through in all the right ways. I had the winter salad, while my wife’s duck starter was just as tempting. My John Dory main was sublime, and the wine list full of interesting options - we chose a lovely Vernaccia from Tuscany. We’re already keen to return to try the Sunday lunch once winter properly sets in.

Amina Begum Went with a few friends a week ago and really enjoyed our experience here. The food was lovely, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was perfect for a quiet evening dinner. I love how the decor inside the restaurant gives “authentic Indian” vibes. The waiters really took care of us and we felt really comfortable. 1 week later, I’m craving the chicken tikka and biryani again! Can’t wait to visit again soon. :)

Khashim Uddin I visited Buddies after seeing their TikTok videos, and I’m glad I did. We tried the East End Burger, East End Wings, Spicy Dip Burger, and the East End Doner, along with an Oreo milkshake. The East End sauce was creamy with a nice spicy kick. The wings were big, juicy, and had perfectly crispy breading. The fillet burger was huge — honestly, I could’ve been satisfied with just that alone. You can really tell the doner they use is higher quality, definitely better than the usual PFC stuff. The Oreo milkshake was a hit with the kids. Even though I got takeout, the store itself looked modern and clean. Alhamdulillah, it’s a much better alternative to KFC, and it felt good knowing I was supporting a local business.

Sarah Fowkes They sat us at a moments notice when our previous booking nearby was not satisfactory. Their ability to be accommodating on a busy Saturday is what used to be seen as standard in the service industry, now sets them far above competitors. The ambience was very relaxed and extremely comfortable, we never felt rushed, service was on hand but not pushy, we were left to have our time together, which was perfect. So many places are overbearing and invasive these days as they want a quick turnover, but they know how to pitch it. The food was superb, we had the starters and mains ... just a couple of choices but perfectly executed. I travel globally with a large corporate hospitality provider, and am very happy when I find great places in London. People want experiences, not a quick feed at exorbitant prices, I was very pleased with this experience and will be back.

Rahel Ahmed The Classic Smash Burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The bun was soft, and the toppings fresh. Service was polite, though the order took a bit longer than expected. The dining area and tables were clean and well-kept, making it a pleasant experience overall.
