First visit here today and was very impressed.A very wide selection of breakfasts and other meals are on offer and once we made our choices (a vegi non-vegi all day breakfast) the food arrived very quickly, tasted great and was very reasonably priced.Recommended - and will make a point of returning next time am in the area.

We ate here for breakfast whilst we were having a short break in London. We were based at the nearby Premier Inn , but decided to have breakfasts here at the cafe . Big portions , very tasty and really quick service. Cash only not a problem; there's two supermarkets nearby with cash machines. Overall a brilliant little cafe . Top marks to all the staff .

Warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious! This local English breakfast spot is a gem.The portions are generous, and the food is cooked to perfection. The ladies at the counter were incredibly friendly, helpful, and provided spot-on recommendations.The highlight: the egg was cooked just right, with a soft and runny yolk - breakfast heaven!Ordered the Set 1 Breakfast, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend!Will definitely be back for more.

Very delicious and generous portion english breakfast. We ate everyday here during out stay in London. We stayed at Ibis Hotel.I love the breakfast bab so much. It is so delicious. Other menu are also good.However, you can only pay by cash. It will be nice if there is the option to use card as well.
