Freemason's Cafe in Newham

Rude owner, sandwich quality very poor. Coffee tastes very old not a nice experience at all.

Quite little café and the food portion sizes are decent too. Young gentleman who takes the orders, I found him to be a bit cheeky and tad bit cocky. You don't joke with a customer whom you've never met before. Being polite and courteous goes a long way to forming an impression on your customers. I visited them twice (few days apart) just to make sure the gentleman wasn't having an 'off-day'. Unfortunately on the second day he was still quite sarcastic and that came across as quite rude. Based on that experience I shan't be visiting again. Food wasn't all that good tasting and along with the young man's service , giving Free Mansons Cafe 3 stars is quite generous. Please note you have to spend a minimum £5 to pay by bank card (when their card machine works)

Food is good, simple fare, hot drinks made to your wishes, staff are polite, and condiments provided. Sorry I didn't take photos.

Very good traditional worker's cafe. All the usual fry ups, full English etc and a good range of other dishes as well. Good quality food nicely presented by friendly staff. I'd definitely visit again if I have the chance.

Nice local place serving decent breakfast around £7. Friendly staff. Coffee frothy and creamy.

Proper cafe. Decent breakfast and all the things you'd expect from a greasy spoon. Also, a great escape from the tyranny of ExCel RIP off food outlets

Food is fine. Friendly wonderful waitress and i have seen the owner empty the tip jar into his own wallet multiple times. If you use this place please do not tip the waitress, the money doesn't go to her.

Good cafe. Eggs cooked properly. 2 bacon as a single portion. Good salads and lunches. Friendly staff, busy cafe. Good when you are working a build in excel centre.

One of only a few places to eat in the area. Prices are okay considering it is very near the Excel Centre. The food was fine for a cafe.

Exactly what I expected from the look and feel of the place. Nothing particularly special but decent food at a reasonable price, attentive staff, seems like a spot the locals frequent which usually means it's good. The green tea was £1.40 extra, which wasn't specified, just to warn you.
