About Cali Café

Cali Café sits on Church St near Church Street Market, serving as a sandwich bar with a menu that runs from full English breakfast to scrambled egg on toast, frappés, and a paneer sandwich alongside jacket potatoes and salad options. Plates are generous, and orders move quickly at the counter even when the room is full. Seating fills up during breakfast and lunch hours, and the café takes walk-ins rather than bookings. It operates as a small, family-run business within the neighbourhood.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return above all for the full English breakfast, with generous portions that several describe as fresh and good value for London. Scrambled egg on toast and a paneer sandwich also get named, along with a creamy, refreshing frappé and coffee one diner calls delicious. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, warm and welcoming, with service that stays fast even when the place is packed and no pressure to leave. A few mention a sense of community and note that the café feels loved by the neighbourhood. Reviewers also stress consistency, with one regular reporting 15 years of visits without disappointment. Prices draw repeated comment, with a diner from up North surprised at how reasonable they are for London. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer closes the picture by describing a return visit for a second day running, just to have a proper full English breakfast.

    “Cali Café is my go-to place for a great breakfast — probably the best English breakfast in town — or a quick lunch ❤️ The guys there are some of the friendliest and most welcoming people you’ll ever meet. And, most importantly, their consistency is incredible. We’ve been going there for 15 years now, and they never disappoint. Go there after a little tour around Church Street Market 😉 and enjoy simple, delicious British food at the most affordable prices. ❤️”

    “Amazing staff, the atmosphere is lovely, and there's a strong sense of community within the cafe that you unfortunately don't see nowadays. The food is fresh and at a reasonable price, it keeps you full for a long time, but not in a way that you'd feel unwell. The service is quick and efficient - there's no pressure to leave early or at all. You're left to just enjoy your meal in peace :). I will definitely come back.”
