Barbican Cafe in Islington

Service was warm and friendly, but a bit slow.

Amazing food and great service. Lovely owners with great manners. Polite and friendly. Recommend totally.

Great Full English Breakfast. The plate is enough to make you full.

Food was delicious and you get your money’s worth !! The people working there were very nice and service was good

Cozy little restaurant with fun murals, although a bit cramped. Very large selection on the menu. Here you can get everything from a full English breakfast to a Snickers milkshake. Everything very fresh and prepared with love. An absolute recommendation.

Very good brunch. Unfortunately, we couldn’t split the bill by 5.

Big portions, unfortunately I couldn’t manage it all

All of them have an impressive look just like tastes. Also the stuff so lovelly..

The breakfast often was so amazing

My experience at the restaurant was amazing. The food is very delicious and the staff are very respectful. I will repeat the experience again and again.

such a welcoming and cosy environment! the food was presented beautifully and was delicious. can’t recommend enough for quick and easy breakfast options

Incredible service! Very warm atmosphere! The pancakes were legit good!

Terrific breakfast, lots of choice, very nice staff and great value. Perfect start to the day. 👍

This place is an absolute gem! Cannot recommend more. I was delighted with the vegan breakfast. My partner had the full English. Cumberland sausage was especially nice. Carrot juice perfectly done. Tea was beautifully presented. Best hash browns we've tasted and you get flowers on your plate.

One of the best Breakfast in the UK. Love it

Excellent food at a good price. Coffee was amazing too

One of the most excellent breakfasts in the uk!!

Very warm welcome. The dishes are excellent. A good address.

Very good breakfast. Very well served, copious plates and nicely presented. The milkshakes are delicious. I recommend.

Charming location with generous portions, plenty of choice, genuinely tasty coffee and very friendly service. Ideal concentrate for exploring London

Great breakfasts, from different nationalities and the food looks and tastes amazing.

Wow! Just wow! Probably one of the best breakfasts I ever had. Plus: super nice Ambiente, nice music , super friendly service, etc. - everything made with LOVE.

popped by this cute café for our morning coffee and loved it! they open early—perfect for the early birds. we had the all day breakfast and pancakes, both were super yummy. the portions were generous and the presentation was on point! definitely a great spot to start the day with good vibes and great food.

Epic brunch place!! Prices are totally ok and the quantities are huge! Would highly recommend 🤩

Food is delicious, staff are friendly and prices are very reasonable! 😊

Food is delicious and staff are friendly. Great service

We ordered the Healthy Breakfast and Cilbir. Both were lovely - really flavourful. Nice service. We’ll be back

It's quaint and yummy! Legit English breakfast

Honestly, it is a classy little secret in the jungle of London's overpriced avocado toasts. This hidden gem serves generous portions at prices that won't make your wallet weep-with food that's prettier and tastier than what you'll find at most of London's posh brunch palaces. Plus, the quotes on the wall will leave you smiling between bites. :))

Food is really good and big portions too

Super good English breakfast. I really suggest it if you’re near, as a tourist I really appreciated.

What a lovely place. We enjoyed our breakfast and cute spot to start your day 🙂

EN: Small but very fine restaurant, with very friendly service and delicious food. Breakfast is prepared with a lot of love. Everything tasted excellent, it exceeded my expectations both visually and in terms of taste. Highly recommended, I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

I went there for breakfast with my family and we were impressed by the kidness of the staff and how delicious was the food. Super approved!!!

Wonderful service, amazing food with good portions. Came for brunch at 10:30 and seated right away.

A brilliant Mothering Sunday brunch. My good friend kept mentioning how great this place is so after getting back into London I thought I meet her there. It was great indeed. I love anything that has lamb in it. They had exactly what I wanted, good quality lamb shanks and the fries were cooked just the way I love t, nice and crispy golden brown. The coffee was splendidly tasty and the owners went out of their way to give us a great meal and wonderful time. Splendid hosts and their smiles and hospitality made it a family intimate experience. Definitely going back soon. Thank you guys. Eid Mubarak 🙏🏽

Very good address! Excellent value for money, hearty and traditional plate

Today visited the Barbican Cafe and was thoroughly disappointed with the experience. Despite the staff being polite and offering apologies, the service was unacceptably slow. We waited 25 minutes just to place our order, even after approaching the till three times, only to be assured that someone would come to our table. After this prolonged wait, our drinks and toast arrived, but the main components of our full English breakfast took nearly 50 minutes to be served. When the food finally arrived, it was cold and mediocre at best. I understand that the cafe was busy, but this level of service is unacceptable. This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time, and I feel compelled to share my disappointment. I do not recommend the Barbican Cafe and will not be returning.

Amazing food & service. Definitely one to check out if you’re around the area!!

The people working here are super kind! A very welcoming atmosphere and the food is just delicious. We came here just to give it a try but we are definitely coming back soon and recommending it to our friends.

a great cafe, the food is delicious, everything is a good place, those who don't come will be sad 🥰 a fun staff, maşallah ❤️ 777

We just got off a flight from Bali straight here for a full English, food was sensational 9/10 only thing was the black pudding wasn’t the best but can’t fault anything else! Will defo be back when in London again

Awesome vegan breakfast, good coffee, very friendly stuff!!

Food was excellent and the staff was very friendly - many vegetarian and vegan options. Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning brunch.

Really lovely little cafe, food was unreal, big portions and great value for money. The staff are also lovely.

Very nice choice for food and lovely service 💕✨

Lovely and friendly staff,the food was good aswell

English Breakfast so good it left me thinking about it for the rest of the day. Lovely staff and vibes, too. Can get a bit noisy when it's busy because it's rather small, but it's still manageable. And the food is so worth it.

Very quiet, beautiful place, very good service and the food, both sweet and savory, was delicious. Highly recommended. We came because of its proximity to our EasyHotel hotel and it was a success.

Lovely place to have breakfast. The google reviews do not lie. The food is amazing and good sized portions to keep you full whilst you visit the sites of London. All cooked from scratch using fresh produce and they take pride in their food. Friendly welcome too. If you are in the area definitely worth visiting. Why waste your time with hotel precooked breakfasts when you have this on your doorstop ♥️

The breakfast is good and the team is friendly

They have a vegan english breakfast and it's actually very, very good, and they veganised one other dish for us, still at least one or two more vegan options would be nice

Delicious food, lovely staff, a nice place to rest, eat and feel good 💕

Best breakfast I've had in London and with the best price and service! Go to the Barbican Cafe!!!

Super cute place with great food! Tasty and the service is impeccable. We came in with our big suitcases and the hostess was very accommodating. Perfect for those that want to try a real English breakfast.

Amazing food and great service by Denise:D

Great breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, and very friendly service

Friendly clean and a good price !

Warm welcome. Two rooms to sit. Varied menu, with a traditional English breakfast and another vegan ordered. Simple and human service. Payment by credit card.

Everything was so good you could tell the fruits were fresh, and everything just looks really pretty in general. Milkshakes are also delicious. Bonus points for the playlist choices.

It was really pretty and convenient! Lots of amazing incredible food for a very good price. I will definitely come back again, as it was really good and people were really nice. It was open from an early hour, and the central position makes it useful.

The Mediterranean breakfast is fantastic!

the food was nice and the atmosphere really chill and nice music. a bit of a slow service but deserved

The food and service were great. We had the veggie + vegan options and they were both great :)

I have to say the food is great, perfect timing and fresh. Will highly recommend.

Lovely little café, friendly staff and delicious breakfast!

Amazing food and amazing staff!

Restaurant so a really nice English breakfast & service is super quick.

Great coffee, delicious milkshakes and cakes. Good food. Brought even toys for toddler without asking 😊

Very nice local cafe in the area! Portions are very generous and the price is good for a brunch. Definitely reccomend :)

Super nice, tasty and not expensive

Ibo sorted us out with a last minute breakfast and lunch for a large group and was super accommodating and the food was delicious :)

¡Qué café tan fabuloso! Gran ambiente y personal amable. Recomiendo encarecidamente las tortitas de jarabe dorado ya que fueron las mejores que he probado.

Great breakfast really friendly staff

Lovely family friendly cafe. Staff are very accommodating and the food is great. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, service is fast and good. The food is so delicious and well priced. Opens early ,every day of the week.

Very comfy atmosphere, very fast service and they are very friendly. And the foods are very very delicious.🫶🏻💜

Great food great decor great service!

Great cooked breakfast good size portions and very reasonably priced asked for well cooked bacon and it was. Only thing it could have done with was more butter on the toast but I'm sure if you asked they may have the little portions to give out or if not that's what I would suggest. My wife said the latte was fantastic and my black tea was tasty.

Nice location to have delicious breakfast!

A good menu and very friendly and accommodating staff. Clean and calming little cafe

Very nice and intimate place. Friendly and helpful service, very attentive. Delicious and well presented dishes, both sweet and savory. We were a group of six and got to try both. Very clean bathrooms, which is not a given. Excellent value for money. I would happily stay here again

Very nice dishes, good saltiness, the pancakes slightly hard but good, excellent nonetheless 💗

We had a lovely brunch here on Monday afternoon. Service was friendly and fast and food was delicious! 10/10 for presentation & effort.

Amazing service and food ! Love it here definitely recommend!!

Very yummy breakfast :) service with a smile which makes it even better! Thank you for a lovely meal!

Good food and good service. Nice ambiance. Good beans!😁

Yes yes 💞 Too bad the tomatoes aren't good but it's England :)

A place that is not pretentious but where you can eat a phenomenal brunch at a good price. Recommended 100%. Eggs Benedict with avocado and bacon, the best on the menu.

The brunch mecca, great family run vibes and lots and lots of options

Beautiful Mexican omelette served with a smile would definitely return

Super cozy, very sweet service and great breakfast food!

Amazing service… amazing food … would 100% recommend 👏👏

The Best breakfast ever!!! Very nice place and friendly people. Good and fresh food

Very good food and lovely server and cook. If you ask the chef beforehand, they provide Halal as well!

Delicious breakfast, I really recommend visiting this place, you won’t regret it:)

Great food for a good price and really nice service!
