Long White Cloud is wonderful! I stopped in a few times for breakfast while staying at a hotel nearby. The restaurant is really lovely inside, the folks working are the nicest I talked to in London, and the food and portions were incredible! We recommend the egg sandwich and the French toast. read more

I made Long White Cloud my waiting room... As much as I love to hang out in a dog grooming salon (nearby Groom Dog City), I don't. Especially because my dog shakes and looks as if I have sent her to a gas chamber, when it reality I just want her to stop shedding blankets of dog hair over all of my clothes, bedding, floors and surfaces. Really, she's fine. And I need a cookie. Anyway...yes, so here I landed. At the Lovely Long White Cloud. An oasis on the otherwise bit gritty Hackney Road, LWC looks like a coffee shop, but in fact has an absolutely lovely array of food offerings, sweets and some fantastic ladies that will bring it to you. More of a cafe/bistro, as their overhanging sign would elude to...and they are most assuredly open for dinner, til 10pm. Apparently it gets quite lively in the evening. I love the name. Whimsy. Very clean loo. Double dark chocolate cookie. Broccoli Stilton soup with crunchy bread. Fresh brewed iced tea (made without annoyance!) Free wifi (ask them and they'll politely bring you the chalkboard with passcode) Comfortable rustic tables, artwork, bright and long Real meals. For next time: Monmouth coffee + Muffin deal (3.50) Vegetables! Squash. Yum. Breakfast. Let me bask forever on the Long White Cloud. I'll be returning for more than an hour next time, and for more than just a spot to kill an hour... read more

I stumbled across this new cafe on my way to work. It's now my fav place to get my morning coffee fix (and they even make "flat whites"). Oh... and they also make London's BEST banana bread - a must try! The staff are super-friendly and the walls display a array of ever-changing art installations. So, to me, it covers off all my "loves"! read more

Located a few minutes away from Hoxton railway station, Long White Cloud is a Kiwi-owned, free-range, free-trade café-cum-gallery space which serves up interesting brunch-type meals such as smoked salmon scrambled eggs and french toast with bacon and banana. It was pretty filled at 11 in the morning, but not enough to gather a queue. The interesting thing about this café is the fact that they display local artworks which are also on sale. When I was there two weeks ago, Kate Ardern's intriguing 'Into The Wild' paintings were up on the walls, most of them already marked as sold. I got myself a full English breakfast, something I realised that I'd not yet actually had in this country. It was filling - I think the word 'full' applies to the state of the diner's tummy rather than what's on the plate. The food was alright, the beans felt home-made and authentic though, definitely not Heinz. What still lingers in my mind is their peanut butter and banana smoothie which is so simple but so good. It wasn't too sweet, and both flavours were balanced beautifully, inspiring me to try blitzing my own sometime soon. They've got an evening menu as well with the likes of pies, burgers and fish cakes. I'd love to go back there some time soon to chill in their intimate setting with some French toast and bacon! read more

Fantastic! Cute decor - comfortable and interesting furniture and books line the walls. (It's a small but there is room for strollers/luggage. The food is displayed beautifully for a cafe.

Long White Cloud serves a great breakfast. The full English breakfast was delicious and so was the meaty frittata (although it wasn't that meaty - only a sausage). All the plates are also artfully laid out. The guy who works the counter, who I assume is the owner, is very friendly. Their coffee/latte is also a good portion compared to other cafes. read more

I love this place! If it was on Shoreditch High Street, it would be twice as busy and expensive. It's a hidden gem on Hackney Road. It's very airy, with a relaxed casual atmosphere. Feels Australian almost. They serve Monmouth Coffee and they make it just as well as the actual Monmouth store. I always get their soy lattes, it's my favourite drink. The food is just so good here! It's dependable and high quality. I respect any place that serves a good avocado toast and oh they do, with scrambled eggs and chili. I also recommend the smoothies and orange juice as they're made fresh. The quality is so worth the price you pay here. I come back at least once a week. I love it and wish it was closer to me. read more

Went for breakfast here with my sister while visiting London and everything was amazing. I was really craving avocado toast and they absolutely delivered. My sister had gluten free French toast and loved it as well. Cute little place with a great selection of healthy, gluten free, and even vegan foods; would love to go back someday! read more

I used to come here a lot, I'm coeliac and they used to be very forgiving to me! This time I came in, asked them to switch the sausage on the full English like I have done every time (usually to a very friendly "Of course!!!") until I got the dreaded "sorry we can't substitute that". I asked "really? I just don't want the sausage because it contains bread crumbs and would prefer the halloumi?" Bearing in mind it is probably cheaper anyway. She suggests I get a different meal, of which being already coeliac I already have minimum choices... I ask again if it's at all possible and tell her I come almost every week and it's never been a problem, then a woman turns around and says the TYPICAL bullshit that these places tell you when they just don't want to help the customer out, it was pretty ridiculous.... "Sorry but this is a recently new policy" LOL are you kidding me? I was super nice, come here all the time, raved to my friend about it, and turned up and literally just such a disappointing experience. RIP Long White Cloud you used to be good. read more

Do you ever feel selfish with your fave spots? Good thing it's the holiday season so I'm feeling in a particularly generous mood. The gift you'll receive is in the form of a tip: 151 Hackney Road. Go here. Onward Donner and Blitzen and...you! Staff is supah-dupah friendly (must be imported from down undah), the vibe is relaxed (some people working, others reading, others recovering from night-out), and the decor is charming (art for sale on the walls, Aussie products on shelves, wood tables). The food is what gets me. A properly strong Americano. A just-right-levels-of-sweet mocha. Soft scrambled eggs with tiny shards of hot green chilis atop crusty buttered toast. Vegetarian full English breakfast. Muffins. And, my favourite breakfast option: a nutty muesli topped with plain yogurt and grated tart granny smith apple. Kiwis, apparently, know how to start the day off right. Double bonus points for being open and restoring me after a holiday night-out on December 24. Yelp note: you ask for honey or peanut butter...and they bring you the whole dang jar / bottle. No tiny plastic pre-packaged serving. No awkwardly wondering if you can ask for more. Nope. Long White Cloud has you covered, as if you're visiting the kitchen of a good friend (with a stocked pantry). read more

I was seriously impressed with brunch here! I would go so far as to say it was the best breakfast food I've EVER had in London. I had the garlic mushrooms on toast - so much flavour!! And my brekkie chum had a full veggie fry-up - which I snacked from - amazing! I also had a proper healthy smoothie with beets and carrots - I could tell it was doing my poor body some good :) Can't wait to go back! read more

Great little cafe, really nice staff and very chilled out place to go for a chat or get some work done. I had an excellent flat white and some really good carrot cake. So good in fact that the icing came in a little bowl on the side so you can chose how much you want. Big bonus, considering carrot cake often falls down on having too much super sugary icing! This icing, wasn't too sugary at all and had some orange peel through it, yum! I would have rather been able to get a coffee and bit of cake for under a fiver (I paid six including tip) but I guess that's rare these days. At least they really look after their food/drinks - all the savoury stuff looked very tasty too. c* read more

I wandered lonely into Long White Cloud That floats like froth on a cappuccino When all at once I saw a crowd A host, of golden pain-au-chocs; Yeah. LWC has become a nice little breakfast+working spot for me - reasonably cool, pretty large (not that you'd think it from the exterior), several powerpoints, and wifi gratuit. What's not to like? Also - would you believe it - it's run by some peeps from the Southern Hemisphere, complete with a mini Aussie home comforts selection (Jelly snakes and vegemite mostly). To this point, I've had their garlic mushrooms on toast and the veggie breakfast, both of which have been very good (Bristol's Cafe Kino sent me on a bit of a veggie binge) with decent sized portions. I think I'll have me some cake next time I go too. The coffee is fine - the first time I went I had a rather watery long black which put me off for a while, but recently they've been pretty good. It's not world beating, but they use good beans and they don't ruin it. Overall, definitely a semi-regular spot for me - worth popping in if you live in the vicinity. I've also just noticed right before pressing 'post' that Linzi played on Wordsworth way before I did, but because I spent much longer than I'd like to admit on it, I'm going to keep it, I'll just credit her with being way more ion it than me. read more

A proper coffee shop with Monmouth coffee perfect stop off on the way to Hoxton Station or after the school run to Columbia Primary school. In a fairly grotty stretch of Hackney Road this lights up the area. Really friendly staff and great organic menu. Interesting art displays which always stimulate discussions with our kids. Pretty much guaranteed to get a seat here the shop itself is long and thin. Go.. read more

Good coffee, fresh juices, funky space. My wife and I stopped in after getting our asses kicked by Danny at BASE Fit in Boxpark (which I just added to Yelp and you should all check out) and enjoyed a quick cappuccino, with beans by Monmouth, and a juice. We're pretty picky about both - I think we're beverage snobs? - but Long White Cloud did them justice. The juice went a little heavy on the celery, but was otherwise very fresh and healthy, and the coffee had the signature Monmouth richness. The staff were all very pleasant, and there were plenty of people flowing through and chowing down on everything from pastries to full English breakfasts. The space is light and casual, with some funky art hung somewhat haphazardly, but it all goes with the mildly boho charm. We'll probably stop in again for more coffee and maybe try some food next time. read more

Great vegetarian options for breakfast and yummy coffee, it can be very expensive but it's worth it every now and then. Mushrooms on toast are lovely, we replicate them at home we love them so much! They also do a mean scrambled egg. Plenty of room to sit down. read more

This place is fantastic. The food is lovely and so are the people. While I was waiting for my food, a homeless women came in to buy hot coffee for one pound. The gentleman working, whom I assume is the owner asked her if she was hungry. She was, and he offered her a sandwich. Not just jam on toast or something; but he let her pick a hot sandwich. He was very kind and respectful to her which warmed my heart to see. When my food arrived I was terribly pleased with the quality and flavor, as were my company. I would have paid double for the experience. read more

I wandered lonely like a cloud... Nope, actually I ran-walked into Long White Cloud in a rush since I was uber-late. This place is an oasis of cute Kiwi attitude in the middle of the often times dubious Hackney Road. It's bigger than it looks from the outside with plenty of seating and big chalkboards to order from. These Kiwi coffee masters are always wasted on me as I drink americanos and not long blacks, but my coffee was good, and strong. Trays of savoury pastries and cakes were calling out to me as I waited, 'eat us, Linzi', don't we look delicious?' Quiet, pastries, I won't tell you again. The brunch menu looks amazing and I am dying to go back and try it. They always have a wall of New Zealand treats that you might be missing from back home. read more

I really wanted to like this place. They use Monmouth, but somehow my iced latte tasted both burnt and overly milky. They've got free wifi and plenty of tables, but it's just not a good coworking environment. During the afternoon, the owner(s) continually barged in and out, leaving the front door wide open and dropping the cafe temp to Antarctic levels. The open door also led to a ton of nearby noise pollution. It may be just lovely for a lunch or a meetup, but there are much better options in the area if you actually need to get things done. read more

Sitting directly on my walk to work, LWC provides a very decent caffeine top-up. With Monmouth coffee on offer it's hard to miss really but they've also really nailed the selection of snacks, sandwiches and cakes. Flatbreads, toasted sandwiches and freshly baked pastries line the counter, waiting to send any taste buds into orbit. Worth sneaking your head in and if you've been to Oz, or are in fact Australian, THIS PLACE SELLS TIMTAMS!!! read more

Had full English, tea, and take away macaroon. Breakfast was perfect portion, egg was sunny side yellow goodness. One slice of toast, one banger. Beans, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes. Pesto around the side. Yummy! Took macaroon to go as afternoon snack, it was coconut with slightly sweet hard shell. Would definitely eat here again on next London visit. read more

I like Long White Cloud for the great coffee, friendly staff, and loads of Kiwi treats it has stocked for you to buy. There's a couple of little niggles though - the seating layout/options, its a little bit on the 'spensy side for what you get, and an array of bad art. A little bit of polish and LWC would be amazing, just like a proper Kiwi local! I live in hope! read more

I love this cafe. I've been 3 times now for breakfast and each time has been amazing. If you're a bit sick of the gimmicks of Shoreditch for breakfast (breakfast club, the diner) then I especially recommend this place. It's homely, friendly and the food is amazing. I've now tried a full english fry up (meat and vegetarian) and scrambled eggs on toast. All delicious. Most of the time after eating a full english I find myself feeling slightly sickly but not here. Everything tastes fresh and good for you rather than greasy. To top it all off the coffee is awesome and fresh orange juice can cure a hangover in seconds. Price wise I seem to remember the cooked breakfast was £7.50. Totally acceptable in comparison to all the other options in the area! read more

It's quiet, spacious, friendly and the food is great! The brunch menu is amazing, scrambled eggs with chilli, salmon and avocado (also the garlic mushrooms are the best things I've ever eaten). One of the best finds I've made, and I frequently go here during the week to get my work done - as it is very close to where I live. read more

Really great place, friendly staff, cheap drinks that were pretty good. I had a chai latte for £2.00 (a large) and a egyptian mint tea for £1.50. I stayed til 8.30pm, and must say it really comes alive at night. When the lights are dimmed and the sound of guitars/banjos/harmonicas fill the air, ive never had such a brilliant experience in a coffee shop (i think it may have been an impromptu performance, i hope it wasnt because live music definitely made the evening special). Also, the guy told me that they're doing a loyalty card service, so ill definitely be returning! read more

After a delicious flat white today, I think Long White Cloud may become a ritual pitstop on my saturday escapades to Broadway Market. Cute coffee shops are my favorite and once you factor in Monmouth beans, I'm pretty much sold. read more

My life is richer for Long White Cloud! I love its jumble of plain scrubbed mismatched tables, its super- friendly staff, its fresh and friendly atmosphere. Oh, and by the way - it's food is really good too. Scrambled eggs with chilli, garlic mushrooms, and a platter of a veggie breakfast that would seduce the most confirmed carnivore. read more

Long white cloud is one of those cafes that looks innocuous enough, being flanked by a convenience store and something else, but step inside and you're greeted by all the hipster goodness you can possibly imagine. Just a little way aways is Columbia road flower market, so after your Sunday morning flower shopping, it's a great place to stop off for a strong cuppa joe, that's as tasty as it is caffeinated. Definitely a must visit cafe if you're in east London, do note that it's really crowded in the mornings! read more

This place is great for just coffee, or for a healthy, tasty lunch. They normally have a few sandwiches on offer, and each day they do one meat frittata and one veggie one, which you can get with a selection salads. I've had these a few times and have never been disappointed. Long White Cloud also serves breakfast, and while I haven't tried the full English, a friend ate one while I was having coffee, and liked it. read more

Lovely cafe to stop into after my visit to the Geffrye Museum! Had a savory pie dish from the counter heated up and placed atop salad. So good! And the staff was very kind and helpful :) read more

Just moved to London and the area and am delighted with this find. I am working from home at the moment, so I move my office here for an hour or two every morning for break.
