Fantastic place Fantastic staff Fantastic food Fantastic town centre

Lovely fresh food very nice family so delicious

Veggie breakfast. 5* for real grilled tomatoes (not tinned), real mushrooms (not tinned, not sloppy) and best of all homemade bubble (not out of the freezer). Friendly and very quick service.

A very friendly and welcoming breakfast /brunch place! I love the view from the huge window facing the church. CLEAN and good menu ... I have been here allready few times ... I haven't taken photos but For sure you will finish your plate even without thinking about taken a photo :)

Nice place to have a quick lunch ! Or tea ect! Very pleasant staff! Allways willing to help you! Cafe needs an urgent decor update! But don't let this pt you off! A good sign allways busy in there! Is allways a good sign!

Friendly staff, clean and good value for money. We went for breakfast and had a Set 2 which came with 2 slices of toast and either a tea or coffee. Decent size of breakfast, which came out quickly. Hash browns were excellent!

Brilliant service and food. Thank you.

Food is always good here, good value for money.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, keep up the good work, shoutout for the young guy who’s always serving with smile and treating people as friends! 🤩

During my recent visit to this delightful café, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, and the service throughout was truly exceptional. The affordability of their breakfast options was a pleasant surprise, making it an attractive choice for a satisfying English breakfast. With ample seating, this café caters to various dining preferences, whether you're visiting alone, with friends, or as a family. It's undeniably the perfect spot for starting your day with a delicious English breakfast. I wholeheartedly recommend this café for a memorable dining experience that combines great food, friendly service, and reasonable prices.

Barnet Cafe is a true hidden gem! This lovely, family-run cafe has won my heart over with its warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious offerings. I first discovered this charming spot in 2020, and it has since become my regular haunt, a testament to its consistent excellence. One of the standout features of Barnet Cafe is the generosity they bring to every plate. The portions are not only generous but also incredibly affordable, making it an ideal choice for both budget-conscious diners and those seeking hearty, satisfying meals. My personal favourite is their mouthwatering steak, a dish that I find myself coming back for time and time again. The quality and flavour are consistently top-notch, and they're cooked to perfection every single time. The fact that they have a kids' menu that's equally impressive is a huge bonus for families. It's wonderful to see a place that caters to all ages. Beyond the fantastic food, the staff at Barnet Cafe truly make you feel like part of the family. Their warm hospitality and attentive service make every visit a memorable one. The cosy ambience adds to the overall experience, making it a perfect setting for any occasion. Barnet Cafe is more than just a cafe; it's a home away from home. If you're in search of a place where you can enjoy a delectable meal, bond with your loved ones, and not break the bank, look no further. It's no wonder it has become my regular spot, and I have a feeling it will continue to be for years to come. PS... I can't believe I never reviewed this amazing cafe all these years, and the photos I'm using are from my first few visits since I just focus more on enjoying my meals these days. Yeah, I'm adventurous with foods, but the steak is just muaaaah!!!

Relatively Cheap but Best omelette in High Barnet 👍

I da a all day breakfast it was nice well presented

I've been here 2 times and no complaints whatsoever. The staff are friendly and good at what they do. The service is SO fast, I only waited about 2 minutes for my breakfast, and I could customise the traditional breakfast to take off an item and swap it with another fried egg, they didn't mind at all. The portion size is quite generous, they give you plenty on the plate so I was happy with the amount I've paid for. The atmosphere is nice, it's a very clean and cosy area with nice tables. Very comfortable to eat in here because of how hygenic the customer space is. I'd for sure come again, it really did cheer me up and I would be delighted to eat here again after my work

Really good breakfast for good price .

The jacket potatoes were too dry and there were not enough beans, service was ok, place needs updating

Good food I recommend this cafe .

Have been here several times. Service is always friendly and food is filling and good quality. Excellent value for money.

Good service, clean and tidy. Lovely steak and kidney pie and chips

Nice food reasonable prices good coffee

Worst place ever had breakfast. Horrendous overpriced food. Couldn’t finish it. Also got charged and extraordinary £3 for a flat white that normally comes free of charge in most cafés. A coffee that was bitter and burnt.

The shetest place in the planet don’t waste your money in this place

Good quality food, lovely and polite staff

Always have great food and service here. Decent meals fairly cheaply. Recommend

Good hearty cafe food. Reasonably priced.

A very good worker's cafe and very good food too. Prices very reasonable and service.

Amazing place Thank you so much for all the help with my show

Nice food and reasonably priced

My breakfast was lovely, cooked to perfection and so hot!

Always good honest food at an excellent price

I had lunch with my friend in this Cafe! The food was delicious & service was great! There was a lovely sense of community.

Not bad. If you are after posh grub, you will have to go further afield than Barnet A quick stomach filler this is an ideal place. Clean and friendly

Always great service , great good & great coffee. They have a great kids menu too!

Excellent friendly staff and lovely food

By far the best cafe in Barnet!!!🤷‍♂️ friendly staff, great breaky and as ( pardon the pun😬) as cheap as chip's !!!

We popped into Barnet Cafe while passing through Barnet and it was as busy as ever! A 'sausage, egg and onion' roll was ordered and yes that was definitely 'the one!' It was amazing! A chicken salad was ordered as well as an egg and bacon sandwich and everyone was happy! The service was quick and friendly as always, paying didn't take long either. The recent refurb looks decent too!

Nice little cafe. Love the coffee and food here

There are loads of places in Barnet to grab a bite to eat, most of them will charge their own inflated prices for an overrated meal. Barnet Café will give you a decent meal at a reasonable price. No frills just decent food for a reasonable price. Will definitely go back.

Amazing food and great service.

Awsome, no more needs to be said.

Reasonably priced food and nice service. Rear outdoor seating avaliable . Cards taken. Food prepared quick and tasty.

Good for family. And friends and great friendly staff .

Cheap, cheerful, nice staff Full English

Been coming here for years, great for a fry up

Tasty beans and chips.I recommend

Ok......standard....dear for what it is...

Friendly service and good food. Often wish i can pop by more often. Much love Danny.

This restaurant used to be Jenny's (and Wimpy before that I believe) but a few years ago it closed for refurbishment to reopen as the "Barnet Cafe". The original staff from Jenny's (a short guy who did the cooking and a taller guy with a lazy eye who took the orders) were absolutely brilliant - the best service and best food ever, seem to have gone to be replaced with a bunch of amateurs who aren't anywhere near the same league of customer service or efficiency. But the current staff seem to have improved on my latest visit (they actually took my order within a reasonable time - I walked out before ordering the time before) and the food was top notch and delivered quickly. Seems to attract an older crowd of regulars, but if you keep yourself to yourself you'll enjoy a nice breakfast.

Traditional cafe, fry-ups and more general items. Quick and friendly service.

Popped in for a bite to eat before heading off to Allianz Park. It's about 5 mins walk from the tube station, so nice and close. Fast friendly service and great quality food

Worst burger and chips I've had in a long time.

Central location friendly staff good service.

Great food and drinks been going there since I was 6. They have a great staff and I hope they stay like this

Lovely friendly place good food and great value.

Nourishing and tasty food... Love the moment.... Highly recommend for others.... Thank you ..

When I went in, the lad serving was cleaning a table. I could tell he wasn't paying attention to me and he didn't write my order down. When my food came, everything was wrong. I ordered black tea, I got white; beanburger, got vegeburger; no cheese, got cheese. I was in a hurry otherwise I would have made an issue of this. I've been in before and it was fine but lately, the young guy seems to be running the place and he simply doesn't care.

Been going here sine I was a kid love the place

Foods ok. Can get busy at times

Morning big breakfast need, walked into this local cafe, simple food, normal cafe dishes, had breakfast bunch, OK, just a plate of fried up, not too bad, reasonable prices, cash only.

Good quality food and really polite staff

A very welcoming and friendly place, serving traditional cafe food, hot and fresh, for great prices. Essential pit-stop.

Good food. Friendly staff. Clean. Reasonable prices

Great food..really nourishing and far cheaper than Macdonalds

I had not noticed this cafe before. Unfortunately I had just had lunch but wanted a drink and they did me a very good cup of tea at a reasonable price. The menu is quite extensive and now I know it is here I will give it a go.

Been known to stop by and eat here, will be back

Awful and staff unfriendly. Not a patch on the old Wimpy Bar

Best full english you can get these days and best cafe in general gengus is a diamond geezer

friendly, child friendly, clean, good prices

That was a great bacon and sausage sandwich. Seriously, absolutely perfect and just what the doctor ordered. Brilliant. Lost 1 star because its cash only which is annoying in this day and age but nothing to do with the food. No pomp or ceremony

Go here once a week. Cheap but very good food

A very basic cafe, good prices but uses basic value food. Could be more hygienic and the staff more more happier. Has NO star rating from the authorities and they always rush you.

Ok cafe, used to be wimpy a long time ago and still has similiar menu with breakfasts.

Nice family cafe, very good prices and good food. Nice atmosphere where you can go in and be left alone to your own devices but if you need anything they are quick to help. Nice clean toilet

Good food,decent view..and an outstanding Brown Derby! Harks back to the Wimpy days.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The service was excellent and food was very nice.. prices were on the low side so even better. The only thing against it is the place could do with a lick of paint.

This used to be a jenny's cafe. Its now a better nicer cafe with a much wider variety of food. Had an all day breakfast for well breakfast and it was very nice would definitely come back if i was passing it or in the area. Didn't take card at the time of writing, didn't like the tea that was my only problem. The food was first class.

Amazing food created by an amazing Chef. Would highly recommend this cafe as the prices are very good and staff are always very helpful and professional. Love their Paninis!

Formerly Jenny's Burgers, still make the 'special burger' including the frankfurter sausage

Good cafe for a cheap but nice all day breakfast or lunch.

Nice diner, basic service but the food is very cheap and the quality is good, fillet of cod is the best thing on the menu. Closes early

Excellent food and service a must

Had a Spanish omelette, very nice, good price, would visit again

Very reasonable prices service friendly and good. There could be more choice of dinners on the menu but what there is comes in good size portions, hot and quick service with a smile.

We pop in when visiting Barnet for a drink and a sandwich. Never had a main meal but the sandwiches and toasted teacakes are lovely. The coffee and tea are very good and best of all the price is good, good, good!!!

Food wasn't the best, but service was good!

Always a good place for your local cheerful weekend brunch. Easygoing friendly staff and tasty food at affordable prices. Never hurried, always filling, ready smiles. Window seats are lovely on any sunny day. Love the bubble in the all day brekky

Decent enough greasy spoon cafe. Food is ok for the price.

I've been visiting Barnet cafe (once known as Jenny's) since I was a young girl...I live in Australia now & recently returned to UK for a holiday. I returned to Jenny's to indulge in a bacon egg cheese burger n chips 😋 tasted the exactly the same as it did when I was a child. We also had breakfast, bacon egg sandwiches with black pudding on the side (lovely black pudding). Wish we had more places like this in Australia. Shout out to the two owners who remembered me from all those years ago......Bye for now

Wonderful breakfast brunch. Fabulous choice, well cooked. Superbly polite and welcoming fast service. We will return.

Popped in midday for a late breakfast, pleasant service and food arrived quickly although it was quite busy. Very varied menu, which should suit most taste. Will visit again if in the area.

Barnet Cafe is definitely part of the Barnet community. The cafe is placed on the corner as you come into the main high road opposite Barnet Church and will serve you whatever you desire! The menu has a full page of different fry up breakfasts but they also have plenty of burgers, jacket potatoes, steaks, salads, omelettes and also a kids menu. The staff all treat you like a regular and bring you plenty of smiles, interact with the kids which is always a winner for me. The food is always quick to arrive and the chips are really good as any side for something. My absolute winner is the Half Pounder & Chips, it's a good challenge and the burger always tastes amazeballs. Order it, eat it, enjoy it! Wooooooooo! I'm a big fan of omelettes, a cheese and mushroom omelette is good and nothing else, whatever you fancy, they can make for you! There have been a few times when the children's desert hasn't been available but they do try and duplicate them as best as they can. The place does get busy, Saturdays are predictable busy throughout the day as well, Sundays not as much. Throughout the week, lunchtimes can be a full house due to the Barnet College across the road. Barnet Cafe is a regular place for me, it doesn't matter what time of day, they always deliver the goods!
