Blu Ivy Cafe

came here today and was served by Dee, she’s an absolute star and is so kind. So accommodating and sweet for me and my friends after a long day at uni, will definitely be back. Food was AMAZING and the view was lovely. thank you for your amazing food and kindness dee :)

The food here is absolutely gorgeous and everything is plated like it’s ready for a magazine shoot. Definitely a spot for people who appreciate the art of brunch.

A drawback is that it’s a bit tricky to get to from the station, so give yourself a few extra minutes. It’s near a gorgeous canal so the route will definitely be worth it.

I’ve been here a couple of times throughout the years and the quality has been consistent.

Went here as a family of 5 yesterday morning and really enjoyed ourselves! Atmosphere, service and food were 10/10, staff were so accommodating and friendly! We will definitely be back again soon! Thank you Blu Ivy for a lovely morning!

We popped in for a matcha latte on our way to the park and took the opportunity to check out the menu at this cute café. The staff were friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The latte was reasonably priced at £4.50 and well-prepared. The café itself is charming, with a diverse brunch menu that includes halal and vegan options. We will come back soon to try brunch here. It's a lovely spot conveniently located along the Regent’s Canal, near Victoria Park.

Update Sept 2025

We have been a few times since back from holiday. The place is a cute cafe right on the regents canal just off the south west corner of Victoria park. We popped in for a macha a few weeks ago on the way to the Victoria Park market, and the the latte was really good for a reasonable price (around 4.50GBP) so we decided to come back from brunch last week, and as it was good food, we decided to come again this week. They have comfy tables and chairs inside and if the weather is good you can enjoy the canal view from the open terrasse, where they have one covered table. The menu is quite big, my recommendation is the purple latte (it's made with sweet potato powder) and the matcha latte. They have plant based milks available, oat and coconut for sure, but I assume they have almonds too. I normally get mine with coconut milk. The eggs benedict we had last week was very good, the halal turkey bacon complements the eggs and sauce really well, and the french toast does not just look sublime but tastes great too! Most food items are around the 15GBP mark so not expensive given the quality. Both drinks and food are highly recommended. They have very attentive and friendly service too. We have been regurals here since the Ragged School cafe closed for a few weeks.

Nestled right by the canal, this café is an absolute treasure! The setting alone is enough to make you fall in love – so peaceful and picturesque. I recently had brunch here with my girl mates, and it was the perfect spot for catching up and enjoying a leisurely afternoon. What truly stands out is their incredible food. I had the pleasure of sampling the crispy roti with herbs and potatoes, and it was seriously amazing. Perfectly crispy with a delicious filling, it's a must-try! I was served by Dee, who was so lovely and made the experience even better. This place is ideal for a relaxed brunch with friends or a cosy afternoon treat. It's definitely worth a visit!

Halal items are clearly labelled. Non-Halal items are cooked separately.
