"The price is so great, full English breakfast for only £8.95."
"Prices are reasonable considering it is London."

Cons:
"The eggs tasted like cheese, the avocado was old."
"I was disappointed today however when I ordered the spaghetti bolognese take away for £7.95 and was then informed that it would be an extra £1.50 for a small amount of coleslaw with it."
"No the best breakfast, waiting time 30 mins, expensive compared with other coffee shops in the area, plus no coffee included or at least tea, £10.50 per breakfast porsition size for a kid."
"Teas are overprice. My eggs were cold when arrived to the table."
"You serve up some decent food but you guys are charging £2.50 for a small cup of green tea, i think you should consider serving the green tea in a pot."

"Pretty miserable service early in the morning; nothing friendly about any of the three staff in there this morning."

"The staff are surprisingly unprofessional, and not in a charming small time coffee shop way."

"Overdone sausage and bacon. Hash brown was dried out with a slight burnt taste."
