  “There is room for a traditional breakfast! "Rather than a deep-rooted historical landmark, it functions as a dependable, old-school neighborhood fixture known for serving hearty fry-ups, standard comfort food, and tea to local workers, commuters, and cabbies over several decades." The quote above is one of many, l found on various social media sites. While some are specifically looking for a story " Will it be cheap crap straight from the freezer?" l am sure with that kind of quote they got what they were looking for. "I really wanted a proper mug of tea alongside a proper breakfast. " 🍵 " what to say, chips barely introduced to the fryer, cheap sausage and bacon... a poor breakfast. The tea was good though. " This reviewer normally reviews restaurants and up market venues. They will have walked passed high end commercial places to eat before they got to Double six. They had a specific agenda. While others on Google are genuinely fond of this cafe, "affordable, no nonsense, traditional, serving the workers, weary nomads, no frills or overpriced jargon." It is even mentioned and recommended by The Londonist. Where this cafe is situated it is going through a serious gentrification. "Eversholt street by Euston Station is undergoing a slow, debated process of commercial regeneration and office modernisation." While traditional cafes are being squeezed out of up and coming areas like Euston, as their premises are often in desired spots for commercial chains. And the explosion of social media, where people are not only hungry for food, but hungry for content. I have known this cafe for years, its always been a haven to retreat from the station before l travel. It provides exactly what it sets out to do. An affordable Breakfast. And that's it. The decor is classed now days as vintage, which is part of its charm. As an artist we thrive on real honest places like this. There is a new owner who is welcoming. A TV in the backroom is often on. And it's constabulary busy with local people, builders, taxi drivers, 🚕 etc. Its a cafe for the community. Not a commercial chain. I am delighted to see the vast number of articles on social media, some favor double six and others don't. But if you are not a fan of clinical overdesigned outlets and need a place that's is part of Eustons history, then this is the place for you. Just to give you a bit of further info what this cafe is up against check out this academic paper: researchgate.net 2019 "Euston Station redevelopment; regeneration or gentrification? " by Robin Hickman worth a read. Lets keep these gems of London alive. There is always room for affordable breakfasts.”

  “We very much enjoyed our breakfast at Double Six after getting off the train at Euston. Our waitress was lovely, cafe was a proper greasy spoon (without the stench of grease!), prices decent, and portions generous. Everything was very tasty and very well cooked (particularly enjoyed the fried bread and mushroom combo). I would definitely visit when next in London! Best little cafe of this type I've found in London!”

  “Great food, very reasonable prices and friendly staff. A non fussy, excellent breakfast. We are aussie and it was exactly what we were craving. Too much to finish. Cappuccino was good and super hot.”

  “Poorly run café with clearly not enough staff to cope with demand. It was extremely frustrating, especially during my visit sunday. For such a busy café, service with unacceptable and has a huge impact on the customer experience. However the lady working there was very friendly and polite The food is okay, but nothing special at all. The biggest issue is the condition of the place. It feels old, neglected, and in desperate need of refurbishment and investment. The overall environment is not pleasant, and the café does not seem to be well maintained. Honestly, it’s not a pleasant place to sit in and not worth the hassle. For a café in London, I was genuinely surprised to see such a lack and one person to handle that’s totally unfair to the customers and as well employees Management needs to invest in more and improve the condition of the premises. Until then, I would not recommend visiting….”

  “After walking past this cafe many times, I finally had the opportunity to give Double Six a try and I wasn't disappointed. Quick service, food was hot and fresh. I was most impressed with the fried bread - not greasy, nice to have rather than hash brown. Plenty of seating. Clean and well maintained. Just round the side of Euston Station.”
