About SUNDAY cafe & restaurant

On Hemingford Rd, SUNDAY cafe & restaurant serves modern British brunch and dinner across mismatched tables, with a menu of 14 dishes. The courgette fritters combine panko-fried courgette, dukkah, halloumi, minted yoghurt, avocado, poached egg, harissa, and Parmesan, alongside options like Welsh rarebit and mushrooms on toast. No bookings are taken, so tables are walk-in only and a wait is common, particularly on weekends. The room itself is small and can get busy, though outdoor seating offers an alternative for those who'd rather sit outside, and dogs are welcome there too. Dishes are also available as takeaway for eating off site. The cafe opens Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays, and runs daytime hours only. It sits in Barnsbury, a bit of a walk or ride from central London.

Customer Review Summary

The recurring trade-off is the wait. Reviewers describe a queue at weekends, no advance booking, and a small, cramped, loud main room, with one suggesting a seat outside. One reviewer queued for hours at peak lunch and another was seated immediately at a late lunch. A two-star account reports a long wait for a seat, then a further long wait for food and drinks, ending with one drink compensated and food that was decent but nothing special. Another says the Welsh rarebit and French toast have since left the menu.

Featured reviews

  • Carla POUËDRAS
    “Impeccable service and a warm, cozy atmosphere make this the perfect intimate spot for a date or catching up with loved ones. The high-quality ingredients shine through in every dish, and the portions are surprisingly filling. A true must-visit!”
  • Meatloaf
    “This is an absolute must visit if you come to London. Utterly flawless service and food. Chantal made the most peerless lemonade I’ve ever had in my entire life (cleared my sore throat, too!). Marcus was incredibly welcoming and funny. If you don’t come here, you’re missing the opportunity for best French Toast you’ve ever had. I literally cannot recommend this place enough. I didn’t eat them, but the Mushrooms + Spinach on Toast was, and I quote, “the best mushrooms I’ve ever had.” It needs 4 Michelin stars. My only complaint is that there needs to be more seating so more people can experience this gemstone of a cafe. I promise I’m not exaggerating one bit, this place is a dream. Visit, visit, visit!!!”
  • Theodore Jones
    “Thanks for the delicious brunch, great atmosphere, and friendly service. The French Toast is highly recommended! A true local gem - keep up the good work.”
  • Susan Lee
    “Nice neighborhood restaurant - cozy and warm atmosphere. Food was really nice too! I like that they change the menu throughout the year. French toast was the winner tho!”
  • Coline Staes-Polet
    “I come every time im back in london. The maple bacon pancakes are a must. Great service as well”
