Customer Review Summary
English breakfast is the main draw at Barnet Cafe, with reviewers praising runny eggs, bacon that is not too salty or greasy, sausages, black pudding and loads of beans on the filling set 4. Close behind are the large portions, which several call reasonably priced, and friendly, welcoming staff who serve quickly. One regular keeps returning for the steak and rates the kids' menu, and another calls the coffee hot and frothy. Dishes outside breakfast draw the complaints. One diner found a chicken and mushroom pie so tough it could not be cut, with a dry inside, and praised only the fries. Another called a tuna melt okay, found the chips a bit dry, and thought it expensive without a drink, saying they would not return. Others describe a relaxed cafe with ample seating and standard cafe food that is well presented, though one reviewer found the tea had stewed by the end of breakfast.

“Oh my God. I ordered a chicken and mushroom pie and it was so tough I could not cut it. The inside was so dry. Only the fries were good and up to standard. Latte not bad. But food wise it was terrible. They have to do something about it.”

“Food was pretty mediocre standard; I had tuna melt with chips, came to 9.70 with no drink, thought that was quite expensive considering the chips were a bit dry, tuna melt was okay. Won’t return though as can finder nicer for cheaper.”

“Been craving for an English breakfast, Barnet cafe just done the job for it! Didn’t have to wait long! Coffee was nice, hot and frothy! The eggs for lovely and runny with the yolk just how I like it! Bacon and the sausages, black pudding were also great, I’d come back again for another English breakfast craving!”
