Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the full English breakfast, describing it as big and tasty, with buttered toast and a big mug of coffee alongside. One compares it to the top three they have had, and another calls it legendary. Close behind are the staff, who show up in nearly every review as friendly, with a few mentioning banter and feeling made to feel at home. Other dishes named include the pie and mash, served piping hot, the moussaka, a tuna melt toastie, a parma ham panini, a hamburger, a chocolate malt and a cappuccino. Several describe a proper, old school, traditional cafe just off Regent Street and Oxford Circus, with a calm feel and outdoor tables. The one complaint comes from a reviewer who found the scrambled egg and salmon bagel disappointing because the bagel went soggy under the egg placed on top. A big breakfast that includes a hot tea or coffee is called very affordable, and one reviewer says they visited four times in a single week.
