We have been everyday for 2 weeks now as were working just down the road. The food is very tasty and the staff are lovely. It gets very busy just after 12 so if you want to sit in get there just before. I can recommend the omelette and the curry.

A lucky surprise. Just out walking a found an ideal dinner. Very well priced. Friendly staff and my bap and chips was exactly the ticket. No pretence, 9 tables, a stand up counter and refrigetor case by the cash. Top flight coffee without attatude.

A hidden gem in London! We stopped by for breakfast and were welcomed with such warmth by the owner, who made us feel right at home. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was exceptional. It’s always special to find a place where you not only enjoy great food but also genuine hospitality. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely breakfast here. SS3 - Full English. It's massive. Coffee and Bakewell Tart was lovely too. Plenty other options - burgers or sandwiches.

Fantastic little traditional cafe, a rare find in this part of town. Proper cafe food, full English breakfasts, burgers and main meals, plenty of vegi options. A really nice cup of builder's tea, and fantastic value for money. What's not to like!
