  “very confused as to why the ratings are so high here!!! :( the pastry i got was so bad 😭 it was hard and stale and dry, and given the standard of amazing pastries in london this was a shock. it's also really expensive 😭 the overall ambience was kinda dirty too.”

  “Had the Turkish eggs and they offered to substitute beef with halloumi when I said I was vegetarian, it was delicious! The matcha latte with soy milk was also incredibly tasty and foamy. Super happy with the quality and the service, definitely recommend!!”

  “This was one of the most amazing breakfasts I had while staying in the area. The staff was so friendly, the coffee was incredible and I love loved the menu. I got the Turkish egg plate and my friend got the medi. We split the French toast. I have no notes on the food, seriously it was so good, flavorful, fun, all of the things that a good breakfast should be.”

  “I visited this establishment to have brunch with a friend. It's a lovely little cafe with friendly and accommodating service, great smoothies and delicious food - my fried eggs were fantastically gooey! It was quite noisy, but at least I didn't hear any loud music like in many other places. Totally recommend!”

  “Despite it being a busy Sunday, we were sat outside instantly without a booking. We had several different servers throughout our time here and each sever was courteous and well-mannered. One server in particular made a good impression on me - I didn’t get her name but she had such an infectious, bubbly personality, which was really refreshing to see! Lastly, the food here was lovely (and halal, which is always a bonus). I’ll definitely be returning one day.”

  “Arvo Café in Primrose Hill is a welcoming all-day brunch haven that captures the charm and relaxed elegance of London’s café culture. Nestled in one of the city’s most picturesque neighbourhoods, this cozy spot blends a friendly local vibe with beautifully presented and flavour-packed dishes. The interiors exude an understated charm — warm lighting, thoughtful décor, and an inviting atmosphere that make it a perfect retreat. We were served by the delightful Kieran, whose genuine hospitality and thoughtful recommendations truly elevated our experience. On his suggestion, we tried the sweet potato and spinach waffle — a creative dish that impressed with its balance of texture, flavour, and visual appeal. It was nothing short of exceptional. Alongside, we enjoyed a cup of their rich hot chocolate, marked by deep cocoa notes and a velvety finish, the ideal indulgence. What stood out most was the freshness of the ingredients and the evident care behind each plate. Every element felt thoughtfully composed, contributing to a dining experience that was both comforting and memorable. Arvo Café is the perfect spot to unwind after a refreshing run up Primrose Hill, or simply to enjoy a slow brunch surrounded by good food, good company, and genuine local warmth.”

  “Lovely atmosphere inside this cafe. The staff are super helpful and attentive, we appreciate it! Unfortunately I didn’t like the French toast, it isn’t something I’d buy again but looking forward to trying something else on my subsequent visits. Just a side note, I ordered a large cappuccino and it was tiny… sizing was an issue here with the drinks, otherwise all fine!”

  “Staff were extremely helpful and patient with us, a family of two very young kids. We ordered the Medi and it was exceptional. Possibly the best mix of flavours I’ve had in London. There were many ways to pair the assortment of foods and the bread went with everything. We also had the spinach sweet potato waffles and it was balanced really well, with the maple syrup just pushing everything up a nice notch. Flat white was brilliant yet simple. There’s a lovely bookstore opposite the street too.”
