What a hidden gem in the heart of London! I stopped by DNA Cafe and Bar and had such a wonderful time. I ordered their breakfast, a smooth cappuccino, and the most heavenly walnut cinnamon cake it was pure comfort on a plate. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the amazing service. Mr. G and Duru were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. Their warm smiles and friendly energy made the place feel like home. The vibe of the cafe is cozy, stylish, and perfect for a relaxing break. Whether you’re looking for a tasty bite or just a good coffee with great company, I 100% recommend stopping by. Can’t wait to visit again!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at DNA Cafe Bar! The highlight of my visit was their French toast – beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The toast was perfectly fluffy and topped with an assortment of fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and raspberries, accompanied by a delightful berry compote and a sprinkle of almonds. Each bite was a burst of flavors and textures, making it one of the best French toasts I’ve ever had! The atmosphere of the cafe was equally impressive, with a cozy yet modern vibe, and to top it off, they are incredibly dog-friendly! My little Maltese, Honey, was welcomed warmly by the staff and enjoyed her time exploring the charming interior. The cafe’s openness to pets made the experience even more special, especially for dog owners like me who appreciate places that go the extra mile to make our furry friends feel at home. DNA Cafe Bar is definitely a gem – great food, friendly service, and a welcoming environment for both humans and dogs. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable cafe experience!

You don't usually have high expectations from a cafe, right? But this place is definitely an exception! I visit Dalston regularly and just discovered DNA Cafe Bar. It's undoubtedly the sweetest cafe in Dalston. I went there with my dog, and the staff immediately offered him food and water. I had an iced chai latte and a cinnamon roll, and they were amazing. The staff was super friendly and they told me they're going to have fun events in the cafe soon. I'll definitely go back for cocktails !

Visiting DNA Cafe with my daughter is a delightful experience. The staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, creating a warm and inclusive environment. Their menu caters to all ages, and the quality of the food is consistently high. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the cafe's friendly atmosphere makes it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Also if you’re serious about your coffee, this is the place to be. Their baristas are clearly passionate and know their stuff — they even offered to let me sample a few different beans. As a result great energy, happy people, delicious food — a winning combo. Highly recommend! Will definitely be coming back!
