Great litte ‘greasy spoon’ café! Good value for money and my breakfast was beautifully cooked. Jay is lovely and clearly well-known and appreciated by his regular customers. He has a proper coffee machine and made me a really good oat milk latte. A perfect Saturday morning treat. Thank you!

The chap working there is an absolute gentleman. I love a good breakfast but rarely get them as they're usually north of £10. However, this place charged me £6.50 for a breakfast and a coffee. Usually, you couldn't get fresh air for £6.50 around London. Food was very good and fair prices. 10/10

Cleanliness The café appeared clean and tidy. What's on offer Various teas and coffees, regular, herbal tea, espresso, latte, other coffees, sandwiches, rolls, baguettes, panini, various breakfast options including eggs, bacon, tomato type combinations including toast or bread and tea or coffee, jacket potatoes and other items. Price Teas and coffees around £1 to £2.80 or so, rolls, baguettes around £2 or £4, breakfast options around £6 , jacket potatoes or omelettes around £5. Credit cards I saw no signs about taking or not taking cards but I saw a card machine. Atmosphere Quiet on a Saturday lunchtime. Service The man serving was pleasant, friendly, nice, chatty to regular customers and with a helpful demeanour. Toilets I couldn't see any toilets.
