V. D.

This restaurant is so ethical‚ I'd give it 6 stars if I could! Not only is the food beyond outstanding‚ the prices are also affordable & the staff are so easy to get on with! The service is also shockingly quick‚ even when this cafe is packed full with customers‚ they deliver you your food in under 15 minutes & it tastes great every single time. If you do visit this cafe (which I think is necessary) I recommend ordering the £5 chicken kebab wrap‚ as it tastes beyond delicious.

Large selection of breakfast options, snacks and drinks. the full English breakfast is excellent, good quality and large portions. the cappuccino is good too and has great milk foam. good value for money. very friendly staff.

M. N.

Low priced, big portion and amazing service. Would give 6* if I could. Quick, efficient and tasty - exactly what you need after a boozy night. In heart of Waterloo, just minutes away from Southwark station - a must if you want authentic British dinner feel

s. a.

Great breakfast and the portions are massive 10/10. Friendly staff also. Just wish they could accept card but aside from that the food is nice.

R. G.

Brought here as its my bosses local to the office, lovely staff, tasty food cooked fresh. Nice coffee. A proper cafe service good food.

J. T.

Excellent and speedy service even though very busy. We had full and veggie breakfast at a good price. Even had an extra tea on the house, what more can I say!

r. b.

One of the best cafes south of the river food brilliant never small portions staff kind and friendly and very affordable to say its a London cafe wouldn't get this kind of food for the price anywhere else

j. t.

J. B.

Good food. Excellent service! Nice staff.!

M.

We were staying in a hotel just round the corner and found this cafe. The food, we only had breakfast, was very good. A vegetarian breakfast with toast and coffee will set you back around £5.50 which given the area is excellent value, by way of illustration the hotel wanted £18.00pp. Coffee was Lavazza and well made. Both my wife and I had been civil servants in central London and know that any cafe which is frequented by trades people has good nosh! No you won't find hand smashed avacado here but you will find a good hearty breakfast at a good price. Staff are lovely too.

N. K.

Brilliant cafe. Best breakfast in London

M. Z.

Only cost me £12.70 for two full English, and it’s spot on. Definitely recommend coming here.

P. M.

Nice and clean, bit plates of food. Moody staff.

s. z.

For be in the Hart of Waterloo is quite good in prize . It's a good place to visit for foreigners so they can have a really feeling of a English cafe and Tey the famous English breakfast ,to be add that also serve sandwich, panini,and other .l recommended a visit

P. F.

If you want a great big cooked breakfast look no further. They have some great set breakfasts going right up to the challenging Mega Breakfast, not for the faint hearted! Good service tea and toast bunged in too. I'll be back.

J. J.

Great value. Speedy service. Huge portions.

c. t.

Great little cafe food was great well prices aswell and the staff was really nice aswell..... What more can you ask for?

g.

Old fashioned greasy spoon with good priced food. Definitely not trendy, which works for me, not a laptop or designer beard in sight. Great that these places still exist. Nice people. Above average coffee. Wouldn't seek it out but will eat there again when I am next in the area.

B. k.

Good honest food with decent portion size and cheap

C. S.

Proper cafe - serving a varied menu to order. Mixed group of customers and its grab a seat where you can. Food was good - and cheap for central London. going to try the take-away next - my new lunch-time treat - rather than a soggy home made salad or sandwich.

P. T.

A family run cafe. Friendly helpful staff. Very generous portions especially if you love mushrooms! All at the half the price of a "corporate" hotel. I would go again!

R. B.

Nice food, but a bit drafty and lacking some some common sense on where customers sit, ie one person taking up a 6 seated table, we have been put off sometimes, so get a take out.. Other than that food is always good, and piping hot, people that serve and cook always nice and polite...

M. C.

Best omelette I’ve ever had!!

D. D.

Proper old fashioned cafe offering up big set menu breakfasts. If you are looking for a classic greasy spoon style place away from the usual tourist traps then this is definitely a place to visit. Cash only.

a.

Tip top, friendly staff and economically priced. Highly recommend.

H. B. M.

Very good value for money considering its location and a good choice of dishes. They will also gladly accommodate any special requests if they have the ingredients. A definite local favourite as they are always very busy. If you are taking away at busy times I highly suggest ordering by phone and going to collect to avoid the wait.

J. A.

Came here for breakfast. I had the mega breakfast, the portion was enormous however it was all a bit too greasy and the food quality was sub-par to really enjoy. I have never understood chips for breakfast and the portion was definitely chip heavy. There is a nice outdoor seating area which is pleasant on a sunny morning. It is good value for money and if greasy fry ups are your thing you should check this place out.

L. L.

Food sizes are always good and food is lovely

R. Y.

Large portions for reasonable price!

J. S.

Still the best cafe in the area, both on quality and value. Great selection, short waiting times for vast plates of excellent cafe fayre. Pleasant, helpful team serving and cooking. Top marks!

J. S.

Nice cooked breakfast. Decent sausages and bacon.

R. C.

I ate two mornings in a row at this cafe because of the breakfast. It's a big, delicious and cheap breakfast. BE AWARE! They don't accept card payment.

G. T.

Fab cafe with great coffee & friendly staff. Great range on menu make sure you're hungry the portions are huge. Great find tucked away just behind The Cut.

C. A.

Good quality small portions

P. G.

Great food, great prices, great portion sizes. I've been looking for a non-pretentious cafe in the area for a while. The Bankside Cafe is exactly that. Service is great too!!

L. H.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I am 100% addicted. £5 gets you so much food, great quality good service! Just do the busy lady a favour at the counter and know what you want to order when it's your turn.

M. P.

Nice cafe. It's close to Southwark station and serves good food at a normal price, not your normal London inflated prices. The portions are huge!!

N. K.

A quality local cafe. Always busy which a is a good sign. The staff are friendly and the food is tasty with large portions at reasonable prices.

K. H.

Old-style cafe near Southwark station where you can get a set breakfast or a decent lunch which won't break the bank. Be warned - cash only and you'd better be hungry, the portions are on the generous side!

V. H.

Reasonably priced and very big portions of food.

Y. 1.

It is the typical bar workers where my wife and I a couple of atypical tourists being, I have to say we were treated great. A good place for lunch or breakfast.

E. H.

Huge portions, lovely staff and a nice hidden spot in the middle of all the bustle and crowds rounds here. My first choice for breakfast amongst the strong completion here.

J. N.

Ideal greasy spoon with great selection. Decent value, quick service and a useful location. They only take cash though, which can be a pain.
