Rustic cafes in London

“Has this place shut down somone said it had a for sale sign. I had lovley goddards pie and mash out of there not long ago”

“Really good place, Staff super friendly and food excellent. Went old school and had a fish finger baguette which was lovely. Throughly recommend and will be my go to cafe now.”

“I visited this place with my wife while I was waiting for my MOT to be completed. Really glad we visited. We both had extremely tasty jacket potatoes. I added cheese, beans and tuna to mine. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.”

“I lived near the park for a few weeks and had lunch regularly at the Parco Cafe. I felt very comfortable. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is peaceful. The food is delicious and quickly prepared. I can highly recommend this cafe.”

“Great service. Great coffee. What more could you ask for?”

“Wow, the black pudding scotch egg is to die for. Seriously, get one. One of the best. For a small place the fries game is topnotch; crispy & crunchy no sogg in sight! The owner is a good lad with great chat too. This little cafe is cute and cosy, but I usually bump into these guys in their street food van outside Brew By Numbers taprooms (both Morden wharf & bermondsey).”

“I held our office summer party here and everything was fantastic, exceeded expectations even. The staff were so friendly and helpful from start to finish. Helping me with the setup and throughout the evening. The venue itself is just great, everyone loved it.”

“Great food at friendly prices ! Perfect for local catch-ups, hangover brekkie and trying to recreate that greasy spoon scene from Apprentice.”

“First visit since this cafe changed hands and very pleased with the transformation. Looks clean and bright inside. Decor is lovely. Food was delicious...best omelette and hashbrowns I've had in a cafe in ages!”

“What a find, out on business and passed this gem. The place was SPOTLESS, friendly, welcoming staff, AMAZING selection of food at great prices. Food arrived quickly, hot, tasty and the staff came to ensure all was good even with them very busy. Also they say you can judge a place by their toilets which were also spotless. I can not recommend this cafe enough, will definitely return when we’re in the area again.”

“Delicious food, strongly recommend, especially green curry and veg spring rolls.”

“This place is a must-visit. Delicious food - fresh and high quality - Excellent value for money. The decor is stunning and very good atmosphere. Staff were very friendly, professional and accommodating. Would highly recommend.”

“Lovely cafe with great food, friendly staff and good prices”

“We were passing through heading to Guildford and stopped off here for refreshments. It was a lovely little find, a mixture of a cafe and a shop. Has indoor and outdoor seating, if you get bored you can rummage through the fantastic display of products on offer. I love places like this it provides something different and appeals to all tastes.”

“This cafe is my favorite for a decent English breakfast, the food is cooked well. And the prices are good, you get quantity and quality. It's a family run business, that look after their customers. I've been a regular there for years, and I know of a few others who also return weekly.”

“Great breakfast at Wednesday 5 August 2020 just when I was really needing it having been travelling from Northern Ireland since 5am by plane then train to a meeting in Enfield. The guys were really friendly and helpful. The cafe was clean and tidy. Ate my fry outside on the footpath at wee table provided. A good start to my day. Thanks guys . One downside....need to get some marmalade in for the toast!!”

“Did I enjoy that breakfast? I did Guv! Guilty! Quality food and well cooked, Al's cafe is an oasis of edible delight. Small and narrow on the inside, could do with larger area. A cafe this narrow must do baggettes on their menu.”

“A lovely cafe. The staff are hard-working and friendly, the cafe is clean and tidy, and they do a great coffee. Highly recommended”

“Lovely cafe at the Leyton end of Lea Bridge Road. It was a miserable rainy day so it was quiet. Great service and nice decor. Basic cafe breakfast but good value.”

“Considering our current situation and how careful we have to be, the experience was pleasant and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I have no hesitation in recommending Kings Oak to any grumbling belly. Safe to say, we're happy to return anytime.”

“It's a place which you like wholly: - in harmony with nature - good coffee - tasty food - nice staff and people - simple and yet beautiful interior - ridiculous (for London) prices for avocado sourdough toast (I think, it was ~5£ for 4 pieces that you see)”

“Excellent place in Mayfair, the ambiance is warm and elegant. We had dinner last night and everything we tasted was delicious. The highlights were the seafood soup and the tuna tartare, both recommended if you visit the place. We need to come back to taste the meats too. The Ferrari sparkling wine was great and accompanied our food beautifully. We tried the tiramisu too, perfect balance between sweetness, alcohol, coffee and creaminess. We are going back for sure.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Buenos Ayres, not just because the food and atmosphere was incredible. But our waitress, Lara (the Italian waitress working) was a delight! Would recommend - and get the rump!”

“Large selection on menu but quick simple service clean and would use again”

“Very nice proper cafe (without an acute) serving large variety of traditional cooked meals including good value all day breakfasts both large and small. The service is good, the staff are friendly and there are cheap parking bays scattered among the residents' parking in the side streets opposite.”

“First visit as I wanted to experience the 'losers cafe' from the first few series of the Apprentice. Traditional down to earth cafe - mostly cooked breakfast type food. Good service from the staff. Fair price and well cooked food. Old fashion decor - but helps it maintain a traditional cafe atmosphere Limited free street parking outside. Recommend it”

“Lovely cafe great food good staff at reasonable prices”

“Unpretentious Breakfast ro my exact specifications very quickly served and great value”

“Great little place. Don't go if you're expecting a luxury dining experience, This place is what it says it is....a cafe. Simple seating and layout but tasty food and good coffee. We were looking for somewhere to eat breakfast before getting on the train. This place was perfect. 3 minute walk from the station. Had a sausage and egg roll with hash browns on the side and an americano to drink. Barrista coffee, not bean to cup which made a big difference. Defo recommend it.”

“Really friendly, had the vegan roll and a coffee and it was fab ❤️ great treat after a bad hospital appointment”
