About Mel’s Café

Mel’s Café is a cafe in London on Ilderton Rd, serving breakfast from a small space at number 13. The full English breakfast comes with hash browns and eggs, and breakfast includes toast and a hot beverage. Eggs Benedict is also on the menu, including a version with avocado, along with an egg and bacon roll. Eggs run through the breakfast plates, from the full English to the Benedict. The cafe sits a short walk from Southwark parkrun, and customers come in after the run.

Customer Review Summary

Eggs Benedict, often with avocado, is the dish reviewers return to most, with one saying they went back the next day. Close behind is the full English breakfast, praised for crispy hash browns, nicely done eggs and plenty of toast, while others mention an egg and bacon roll after parkrun and a grilled chicken plate with chips and salad. Reviewers describe the food as delicious and good value, and the owners and staff as warm and friendly. Several call it a small, local spot with a greasy spoon feel. One reviewer notes it gets very busy when Millwall play. The one critical reviewer describes a poached egg and avocado on brown toast arriving after a long wait, with the drinks forgotten, a black tea served with cow's milk despite a lactose intolerance, and drinks in chipped mugs and saucers. Most of the other reviews close on the same note: they would come back.
