    Small looking dinner type place. People were lined up to place their order at the counter before sitting down. We sat down first, and a person took our order at the table. He then left carbon copies of our orders on the table. My husband had the Olympic Breakfast, which had a lot of beans, mushrooms, eggs, tomatoes, and sausage. I ordered a pancake breakfast that had three cakes with syrup on top, scrambled eggs, ham, and sausage. My child had a cheeseburger and fries. I would love to give this place more stars, but the food was bland to me. I asked for more syrup for my basic pancakes to give it more taste, but it didn't help. I at least had ketchup to add to my eggs. I thought it was just me, but my husband said he needed to add hot sauce to his meal. Even the orange juice didn't taste like oranges. The server was hard working and nice. Locals seem to love this place.

    You get a choice of bread or toast. This is toast for three people.

    Expect brusque service, and filling food in this working man's diner. Food is tasty but not at all fancy. Lots of options with full opportunity to mix and match your favorites. Pay at the counter when you're done.

    Hale and hearty with black pudding

    We were in the hunt for a traditional English breakfast our first morning in London, and stumbled across this cafe just a 10 min walk from the Eye! It was quaint, but busy on a Saturday morning, and offered seating inside as well as outside on the sidewalk. The menu is huge, and allows substitutions/ a la carte options, so you can really customize your meal. We started with an americano and a latte - both were prepared nice and strong. The Hale and hearty plate came with everything under the sun and could've fed 3 people. The sausage that came with both meals was crazy good and the eggs were cooked perfectly! As my first English breakfast experience i have nothing to compare it to, but I'd recommend it nonetheless!

    Lovely little cafe nearby various attractions. The food was affordable, and everyone was very welcoming. I ordered the tuna mix jacket potato, and oh! My God. It was massive. It could have fed 10 families. My husband got the egg burger and chips. Simple ingredients that make a fine and hearty meal. I'm sad I couldn't finish it. We just got off a long haul plane ride, so my stomach is still rough. Hopefully, next time, I'll be able to finish their jacket potato.

    Veggie English breakfast.

    Really enjoyed going to this place 5 mornings in a row on my work trip to London. Staff is nice and food is well prepared and has a nice variety. One day I did veggie, the next the more traditional breakfast. Generous portions also.

    Hot chocolate
    Nicole G.

    We all ordered something different for breakfast and it was all superb. The Micah and hot chocolate were also amazing!

    We had completed our red-eye and needed to eat something of substance/kill time before getting into our hotel. After a seeing a bunch of smaller menu'd cafes we found this one and it checked all the boxes. Good sized menu with options for both of us. Idk I it was the lack of sleep but this omelette was one of the best I've ever had. Fresh squeezed OJ was also an unexpected nice touch. Glad we went!

    Great traditional English breakfast and wonderful service. The food was amazing and a great way to start out first morning in London.

    Cappuccino

    This is a cute little cafe in the Waterloo area of London. We stopped by for breakfast while playing tourist in London. It is a smaller place where seating can be a little cramped when full. It is self seating (as opposed to hostess seating) and we ended up standing around waiting until someone left. While it does have table service, you have to pay at the cashier on your way out. They had a pretty extensive menu where you have many options to customize your food with different meats and sides. They also offered a large variety of coffee drinks. We ordered cappuccinos which were excellent. For food, we ordered the Spanish Omelet and a few customized versions of their English Breakfast. Food quality was very good in general but I found my Black Pudding (English Blood Sausage) extremely dry, even crumbly. Overall a good, solid choice for a quick, quality breakfast while on the run.

    Cheeseburger with chips (price: £4.10)
    Harry P.

    This is my first trip to a cafe since the lockdown, but colour me impressed! The menu that had was simply staggering. The prices were reasonable. The food itself was pretty good. And, as a bonus, they allow pick-up orders in a effort to prevent COVID! Long story short, this place is amazing. Very good all around. It's good to be back to reviewing on Yelp, but I'm also glad that businesses are taking these precautions, and for that, they get my respect.

    Breakfast with "bubble" included:)

My friend and I stumbled across this cafe en route to an event and dropped in on our way home to try it. We both had a cup of herbal tea and I had a slice of cake. Staff were really friendly and it was a nice spot to spend an hour or so. The cafe also has various items for sale including plants, crockery, candles and kids items, however I found they were priced pretty high. This is why I dropped a star on my review as I found it was on the pricier side. Tea was £2 and a slice of cake/cupcake/pastry was £3. I did enjoy my tea and cake and the cake was homemade but it was a bit of a small portion to justify the £3 price. However I appreciate the vicinity of the cafe probably warrants the price and it is in quite a touristy area with the London Eye a 5 min walk away. The cafe has been there 4 months and it makes a change to visit a local business vs a chain cafe, hopefully it is here to stick around. So give it a go! Hopefully they will become a bit more generous with the portion sizes!!

Perfect seating area with electric fireplace, light jazz instrumentals, perfectly brewed tea and coffee, and just calming atmosphere. There isn't a huge sign that shouts where this place is, so I suggest you come and enjoy it before it gets too popular! This is truly a hidden gem and relaxing place to read a book, talk to friends, or just enjoy some time to yourself.

The tagine was very authentic and tasted just like the ones I had in Morocco. The lamb was nice and tender and was cooked in the traditional clay pot. The chicken and kofta salad was pretty good as well with a generous portion size, including veggies and rice. I also got a fresh orange juice, which I saw them freshly squeeze. It was around 35 GBP for all this, which is a pretty good value. The guy running the cafe, who I presume is the owner, is a very friendly man who is helpful with answering any questions (and I think he is probably Moroccan). The service speed is pretty quick as well. The only critique about this cafe is I have to say the environment is not all that nice. Aside from the fact that there is construction going on outside, the inside feels slightly dated. However, this actually kind of adds to the local / authentic vibe, so I didn't mind too much. Overall, I think Shrigley's is a great option if you are interested in trying some authentic Moroccan food in a casual environment.

As we were walking around Borough Market we saw the line for Bread Ahead and realized it was for the donut stand they had outside along the street. We had to jump on line and drool over the display of sugary goodness. We each tried a different donut and was not disappointed! So many varieties to choose from - coconut, lemon curd, blackcurrant cheesecake, seasalt caramel and honeycomb, and others. They don't skimp on the fillings as each bite was flavorful. Yum!

After finishing the food tour, I came back for another one, the Pistachio Doughnut. The Crème Brûlée Doughnut was the clear winner. Presentation-wise, it looked just like a real crème brûlée, complete with its beautifully caramelized top. The filling was rich, silky, and creamy without being overly sweet. The dough itself was light, soft, and not greasy or overly bready, making it a fantastic combination. This one is an absolute must-try. The Tiramisu Doughnut had a nice creamy filling, but it didn't quite capture the classic tiramisu flavor. As for the Pistachio Doughnut, the filling was smooth and creamy, but I could barely taste any pistachio, which was a little disappointing. Service was quick, efficient, and well organized despite the line. The setup is simple: queue up, place your order, pay, and enjoy. Overall, the Crème Brûlée Doughnut is the standout and definitely worth ordering. It's the one I'd come back for again. :)
