Reviews of New London Cafe

C. M.

Really good food, great selection on the menu at affordable prices, generous portions, friendly staff and quick service. Located just across the road from the lovely Alwyne Castle pub. Four of us ate lunch with drinks and the bill came to £34. Will definitely go back and try other foods on the menu. My son’s loved the pancakes.

H. T.

This place is a good old fashioned London cafe. Everything from the decor to the menu is old school and I loved it. The food was very tasty and there was a lot of choice to choose from. The juices were also great. Service could have been a little quicker but it was clear they were very busy as its such a popular spot. Great value for a good hearty breakfast.

M. C.

Thanks for the nice food! The temperature was quite cold in the cafe but apart from the cold, everything was great!

S. N.

Friendly welcome upon entry, quick seating, amazing coffee, vibrant menu, fast service, delicious food (we had toasted brioche and the eggs and avo - I had extra mushroom and it was pukka) This was our first choice for breakfast as travelers in the city, it didn't disappoint 👌 Don't go to the breakfast club come here!!!

K. H.

The food was very well priced, filling and tasty (although nothing special if I‘m being fair). The crepes were huge and a really good dessert choice! Great for a quick morning stop - but no wow factor to keep me going back again and again.

P. C.

We had an English breakfast and pancakes, they were absolutely delicious! The service was fast and super friendly! The place isn't big, but very cozy and cute. We'll definitely go back more times.

M. L.

Delicious eggs and avocado, the sun-dried tomatoes have it a great flavour. The back room is bright and airy, perfect for a weekend brunch. Excellent service too, even got a complimentary biscuit with the coffee.

K. P.

Lovely place with a heartwarming staff, delicious sweets, tasty beverages but most importantly great (look at the size of it, it's huge!) Full English Breakfast. One of those can sustain you for the whole day! Just don't forget to grab a tea with it and enjoy the café's atmosphere and local architecture ;)

K.

Great food/coffee combined with great prices, a beautiful place and friendly staff. A true hidden gem that worths a visit!

M. B.

£6.95 for a full English within zone 2! 2 eggs, 2 rashers of bacon (sometimes there's a third snuck in), 1 big sausage, 2 hash browns, 4 cherry tomatoes, 1 Portobello mushroom, a generous portion of beans, and a slice of toast. Love thy name is "New London cafe on slow Sunday morning". Aaaand with the full English you can add a hot drink for £1. It's a dream. Other food options I'm told are good. On the decor front they've got a wall of women from aorund the 50s, my gf and I don't get it, but it is amusing. Service is good, tend to take and produce orders quickly and will check that everything is alright, but they're not intrusive.

J. H.

Fabulous food and great coffee, would have been 5 stars but for the fact that I felt a distinctly cold draught.

M. C.

Cosy, vintage-inspired little cafe that I’ve been going to for years. The coffee and food is always great & it’s so nice to go here to work. It’s a shame they built a roof over the garden area but it does provide more spaces to sit in the winter as the place can get busy on weekends.

M. E.

I had very good experience in there, staffs are friendly and dishes are delicious. Place itself antique too.

S. B.

We came in for a quick breakfast and were immediately seated and after a short look at the menu and ordering, the food was delivered quite soon. We both had omelets which were delicious. My wife changed her chips to toast, which was no problem for the staff. I enjoyed that a small salad was included. The prices were quite reasonable and portion sizes were large enough I could finish it all. Incredible experience looking forward to visit again.

It's actually a very good spot for letting ppl to unwind and enjoy their moments having breakfast here

A. B.

Cozy style but the products are not entirely fresh. The food taste is okay.

M. J.

Delicious food. Lovely place and nice customer service

T. B. H.

Super cute place for Sunday brunch and they are dog friendly 🐶

S. T.

That's my favorite place and I love having breakfast here. Would never hesitate recommending this cafe.

I. C.

Have a lovely lunch .staff friendly and welcoming. Thank you.

s. e.

Lovely breakfast, very affordable and comes in a big portion. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family as it’s one of the best breakfasts I have ate. They have a variety of things to eat from pennies to pancakes to salads and many many more options. The staff are very friendly and nice towards the customers and make them feel welcome when they enter the cafe.

I. P.

Very nice selection of breakfast. Super cozy place. Breakfast for two It's about £20.

C. S.

Always a great place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or early dinner. Management and staff are incredibly helpful and will mix and match your meal. No alcohol. Reduced seating now due to Covid restrictions. In all a great place to meet.

R. G.

Best brunch spot in North London. It is only quite small inside, so better if you're not in a large group. We all really enjoyed different items off the menu, and there is SO much choice. The waitress had some confusion with our bill at the end, but it was sorted quickly, and we all got a complimentary brownie for the mishap. The inside is absolutely beaut and there's a lovely tucked away terrace area too.

E. C.

Staff are soo friendly and accommodating. Fresh tasty food and they do the best hot chocolates! With a free biscuit, always a nice touch. The cafe has such a unique style, very interesting to look around. Great choice on the menu, I go at least once a week! Never disappointed!

M. V.

This place is great! Great coffee, great panino, great green juice, great service - will definitely be back

A. W.

Food is decent from what I've had so far, their champion smoothie is really good. The shop has a cozy feel to it and it's suitable to get my laptop out and write. One of the staff one time just looked at me like I was intruding and that pissed me off, and some of the people that go here just stare, but that's the consequence of others ignorance I guess. Besides that, this cafe is decent, I do however suggest they put out a few sauces and spices on the tables because the food I've tried is bland. The gluten free bread option I tried today, and to me it was decent, was good to try something new.

O. E. I.

This is my local cafe and I have to say it is amazing. Affordable and very good food. I usually go for eggs (scrambled, florentine etc) and the choice is amazing and good value. The place is cute too. Highly recommend.

K. S.

I really can't fault this place!! The little courtyard area was lovely to sit in, the food was awesome value and tasty, the coffee was up to our Australian standards and the service was great. A simple little cafe that does the basic breakfasts but does them well and very well priced! My new favourite breakfast place.

S. C.

Had breakfast here yesterday with a friend. Really lovely service and the coffee was good, but the poached eggs in the Eggs Florentine weren’t runny at all (and that is a big no-no in my opinion). It was great value, so I would definitely return if I’m in the area, but fingers crossed for runny eggs next time!

E. F.

Very nice cafe indeed now its one of my favourites

D. B.

Oh my goodness. The English breakfast at this place is so good; I can't say enough about it. The coffee was also some of the best I've had (though I'm admittedly not the pickiest coffee drinker). It's got a really nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

J. K.

Went in for breakfast, had a Cappuccino and Eggs Benedict. Both delicious, the cappuccino was one of the best coffees I've ever had. Friendly staff, excellent food, quick service and reasonable prices. Will be back.

G. H.

I live a 10 min walk from this place but have never been before as always popped into the Highness which is closest, or St Paul's which is closest when coming home from the tube station. The menu is good (two pancake menus!) and whilst I thought the avo and eggs might be a little odd with sundried tomatoes, it was really delicious. It was served with a mini side salad which again I thought was odd for breakfast, but it was a tasty brunch and I'd definitely come back again.

S. K.

Brunch at a reasonable price with no pretention around it. Staples like American pancakes, full English breakfasts and their vegetarian counterparts on a pretty sizeable menu - all executed really well. Service is polite and swift, and also those little chocolate filled cookies they give with tea or coffee are incredible.

r. r.

Nice pot of tea, small relaxed little place with outside seating at a busy junction. First slice of carrot cake was very dry, I could tell from the way it cut with my fork before I even tasted it. I asked if it was always this dry & was given another 'inner' piece which was totally different. Nice cake in the end but I shouldn't have been served the dry piece in the first place.

L. ..

Me and my BF absolutely love this place. Great ambiance, awesome food and good service. This was our go-to brunch place on weekends. Sadly I moved away from Islington and miss it very much on weekends. We always had Egg Florentine and Egg Royale. Yum! We loved these dishes too much, so only tried few other things like pancakes. I love the shabby chic style of the cafe too. Random ladder with rose garland

H. K.

This cafe is adorable and has a nice little back terrace. It's quite quiet, and they have a lot of organic, fresh ingredients. Really sweet teacups if you order tea! Great vibe overall.

S. L.

One of the best places for brunch! The eggs Benedict is delicious and the pancakes are great. They have good coffee and a nice selection of breads. Highly recommended!

M. H.

I had the eggs benedict which was really good but wasn't as good value as the other big plate breakfast options. The shakes are amazing and the Spanish omelette is also a good choice. Staff are friendly and relaxed.

D. R.

Had an excellent breakfast today at this cafe with the family the staff is amazing very polite vet welcoming and warm, food standards are very high and fresh and the coffee is just very really really good. I eat out often this place has been one of my favourite places I visited recently.

E. T.

Went a while ago when there was a huge hype about this place, and it's since dropped a bit in quality I think. Opted for their house burger this time which was almost like a giant meatball patty in that it was crunchy on the edge, but was also dry, crap bun, and undercooked wedges. My bro's grilled chicken burger was decent though. For £6/7 you could do a lot worse. Stick to the pancakes here I think!

S. G.

Good spot for breakfast/brunch. Good food and the staff was nice.

S. M.

Great neighbourhood cafe with an imaginative and healthy menu and freshly made smoothies etc. The organic produce,crepes and tortilla in addition to breakfast staples Inc fab fry ups make it stand out. It just feels honest and real and inspires loyalty, they also have a great extraction system that means you don't leave smelling of fried food, another big plus in my book 👌

G. R.

Delicious food served with a very friendly and welcoming service. Their coffees are so GOOD! Definitely recommend this cafe.

D. H.

Great breakfast, huge servings and delicious coffee. If I could give 6 stars I would. Lovely service as well!

J. G.

Our regular local brunch place. Small, family run business with super friendly staff makes this place really attractive. The food is very good and the prices reasonable. To top it off, it's dog friendly 🐶

M. P.

The perfect fry-up. Friendly staff, stylish retro-kitsch decor and some classic 50s-60s tracks on the piped music. Do a great veggie breakfast. Amazing cakes. Sells some healthy-type snackage to take away too.

M. C.

Lovely staff. Tasty selection of food. Come here with choir members and they know how to handle group orders well even if paying separately.

V. M.

The breakfast pancakes are incredible, extremely tasty and great value for money. The service is also friendly and attentive. Thanks and we'll be back again very soon!

S. L.

Love their food. No service charge!!!

A. P.

C. G.

Lovely atmosphere to have a breakfast, brunch or lunch. Relaxed but fast and friendly service. Great variety of options on the menu, especially for vegetarians.

K. M.

Recently updated menu, with a bigger variety of breakfast and lunch options. We really enjoy this place. Nice relaxed atmosphere and really friendly staff. The new menu means we'll be back more often.

L. I.

I've been in New London Cafe several times - not a single bad experience. Delicious breakfast and coffee. Friendly staff. Peaceful atmosphere. Cute tea pots.

S. C.

Have meant to leave a review for some time now. I am going to miss visiting this place so much having now moved out of the city. I really live the vibes given off here and miss coming by on a regular basis. I will visit one day when i fly into London.

N. A. B. F.

If the food portions and prices weren't good enough the staff are really friendly, humble in their service and caring. Always welcoming. One of my favourite cafes in London.

M. B.

Great All Day Breakfast and you can add a nice decent coffee for only a quid extra. Nice, friendly staff. Good atmosphere.

A. r.

A local favourite, I'm in here all the time! It's everything a cafe should be - warm, friendly and serves excellent breakfasts! Can't fault it!

Decent brunch food at a reasonable price. Little bit cramped but quirky and interesting. The coffee isn't amazing, just kinda standard café stuff.

(Translated) Good food although coffee could be better. We ate in the inner garden, where the background music was missed. Correct treatment of staff. (Original) Buena comida aunque el café podría ser mejor. Comimos en el jardín interior, donde se echaba de menos la música ambiental. Trato correcto del personal.

C. A.

(Translated) A place to have breakfast in London you eat well both for the classic London breakfast and for those who want to keep on tea or cappuccino with sweets. I recommend it ... London prices 😉 (Original) Un posto dove fare colazione a Londra si mangia bene sia per la classica colazione Londinese che per chi si vuole tenere sul tè o cappuccino con dolci. Lo consoglio ... prezzi Londinesi 😉

C. J.

(Translated) Already the atmosphere: the room is very nice and we are not on top of each other, I also liked the decoration "patchwork". On the plate: the portions are generous, the taste is there and it is for a classic english breakfast or muffins. In short, we were there one morning and finally we made all our breakfasts of the stay! Very very good, I recommend without hesitation. (Original) Déjà l’ambiance : la salle est très agréable et l’on n’est pas les uns sur les autres, j’ai aussi beaucoup aimé la décoration « patchwork ». Dans l’assiette : les portions sont généreuses, le goût est bien là et que cela soit pour un english breakfast classique ou des muffins. Bref, nous y avons été un matin et finalement nous avons fait tout nos petits déjeuners du séjour ! Très très bon, je recommande sans hésitation.

M. B.

(Translated) I recommend the eyes closed! A hearty breakfast super delicious and excellent value. I have not been hungry until dinner !! (Original) Je recommande les yeux fermés ! Un breakfast hyper copieux, délicieux et excellent rapport qualité prix. Je n'ai pas eu faim jusqu'au dîner !!
