GoogleThe cafe is super cozy and stylish, long black and dairy latte was amazing, butter croissant was also very good. There is a lot of space for a pram. I only wish they installed a chancing mat construction into one of the toilets🙏🏻
Thank you Nastasia, very pleased you had a lovely experience and good feedback on the changing mat. We hope to see you again soon!

GoogleCoffee is pretty poor - milk steamer always looks dirty and generally not the most inviting spot

GoogleBeautifully decorated restaurant, really nice design details through-out. Well sized menu with a good range of items. Flatbread with Baba ghanoush was great, as was cod with cauliflower and the beef tartare. Attentive and friendly service.

GoogleI recently visited this coffee shop and asked for a piccolo instead of a cortado, only to be schooled by the barista. Apparently, they’re basically the same drink! Who knew I could have just ordered a 'cortico' or a 'picado' and saved us …
Pleased you have a fantastic coffee! Hope to see you again soon 👌 …

GoogleWhat a gorgeous cafe. Beautifully decorated, with a sofa corner, five small tables and a bigger one, friendly staff, and great coffee. I come here every day because it feels like the perfect place to be - calm, welcoming, light pouring in …

Googlehad dinner on a Friday night with my partner. ambience and service were excellent and perfect for a dinner date. the menu is made for sharing and seems to be changing frequently; prices were quite moderate for the area. reason for 3 star only is that food was only ok-ish: the ceviche and the hipsi cabbage were good (would order again), the BBQ corn and the squid crostini unremarkable (would not order again), the sourdough focaccia was terrible (maybe the bar is set too high in East London, with places such as E5 serving restaurants too, and Bread & Truffle making the best focaccia outside italy, but what we got was a rather soggy & oily thing).ServiceDine inMeal typeDinnerPrice per person£30, 40

GoogleVery disappointing: The two staff didn’t seem to get on, weren’t communicating and were incredibly slow, getting many coffee orders wrong in the long and growing queue, and there was hardly any food options
We are sorry about your experience Pete, we have addressed your comments immediately, please feel free to email hello@compton.london with further feedback. On behalf of Compton we apologise.

GoogleStunning restaurant, with a very unique and striking decor. The menu is excellent, and has an old school feeling to it, yet remains innovative, fresh and fun. The tartar is one of the best I’ve had in London. Can’t wait to go again
