About Q Cafe
Q Cafe is a café on Wickham Rd in Croydon, open daily for daytime service. The kitchen runs a breakfast menu with substitutions available, such as omitting mushrooms or adding extra sausage, alongside an Egg Royale of poached eggs and salmon on sourdough with salad. Pancakes are also on offer, though they tend to run out later in the day, and spinach appears as a side dish. Gluten intolerance can be accommodated on request. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair accessible, making it workable for visitors with mobility needs, and dogs are welcome inside. High chairs are available for families with young children, and outdoor seating gives an option for eating outside. This is a walk-in cafe with no reservations taken, and staffing on the floor varies from visit to visit. The cafe gets busy at times.

Customer Review Summary
Pancakes draw the most praise at Q Cafe, with reviewers calling them a highlight of the breakfast, though one notes they run out later in the day and suggests getting there early. Close behind are the full breakfast and the Egg Royale of poached eggs and salmon on sourdough. One diner had the full breakfast made without mushrooms, with an extra sausage and eggs well done, exactly as asked, and several mention very big portions and good value. A reviewer also praised the spinach, and another said the kitchen happily accommodated a gluten intolerance. Service is described as friendly, professional and speedy, though one regular says the staff change and a casual cafe means the occasional confusion and missed items. Another reviewer would have preferred softer sprouts. Several write about a free Christmas dinner offered one Thursday in December to all customers, children included, with turkey, pigs in blanket, gravy and a pasta Bolognese alternative, plus a drink and a chocolate gift for the children. Diners called it a kind gesture to the community.

“I had a full breakfast without mushrooms and an extra sausage and I asked my eggs to be well done which came back just as I requested as I have done this at other places and haven't had that results And the food was absolutely nice no problem what so ever and I must say the portions are very big”

“The food here is absolutely wonderful! Always a pleasure to dine here. The pancakes 😋😋💯💯 The service staff is not always the same and it's a casual cafe so every so often be prepared for confusions and missed items. But it's all a part of the casual atmosphere. Definitely a regular spot for us and highly recommended if you are in the area and up a Massive indulgent Breakfast!”
