A great find. I was waiting for a connection from Charing Cross and went in search of a breakfast. It’s only about 300 yards from the station - lovely full breakfast, quick and excellent value for central London. Would definitely return.

Horrendous service: never felt so not welcomed… the staff was totally disengaged. As I had to go out for a brief time, my friend was asked to leave the table as he did finished his orange juice… unbelievably rude! We were going to have a full English, but, after such treatment we agreed that this cafe is unfriendly and judgmental. Thus, I confronted the waitress about her attitude and informed her about our intention to never, ever I will return back. Honest advice: avoid it at all cost!

We came here for a quick lunch after being warned that anything without a buffet was going to be slow. This place wasn't slow at all. I ordered and paid at the counter and we took the last table outside. The food was delivered very promptly. Basic fare, not fancy or priced that way. We had a sausage roll and a beef pie. Both came with fries and beans. More than we needed for a quick lunch.

Breadline Sandwich Bar I arrived early in the morning just after opening, 4 of the tables were already taken. It's a fairly small café, easy to miss when walking by, with only 8 tables inside. I ordered English breakfast with chips and tea £10.50 including - sausage, bacon, egg, beans and toast. Good Full English, practical, simple, reasonably priced, quick service & convenient location when you're near Trafalgar Sq. Mission statement: - try out a number of English Breakfasts from a number of local(Embankment tube station) cafes rather than settle for my lodgings £32 rubber egg, shriveled sausage, dried out beans, cold cardboard toast etc.. for an over-priced, over-cooked, small-portions offering. Having been a waiter in my former life in hotels in Devon I knew what to expect from hotels and knew the only way to get a good, freshly cooked breakfast is find café.

I ordered the egg and cheese on a roll with chips on the side and was very disappointed. The roll itself didn’t taste good and was very dry. The chips were dry as well. The meal as a whole was just bad. The seating is almost impossible to get in and out of as it is close booths with metal bars blocking you in. Overall would not recommend.

With views of the National Galley and adjacent to St. Martin in the Field (just off Trafalgar Square) there is this hidden gem. There was a steady stream of happy customers all of whom were greeted warmly by the staff and served promptly. Great variety of breakfast options, plus other light bites and hearty meals. Seating is limited circa 10 two and four seater tables (though there are outside tables), but the area was cleared and cleaned regularly. I will definitely be going back to this traditional small independent cafe the next time I stay over in London, for a great feed and friendly service.

Rare to find what is essentially an independent cafe, not a sandwich bar, in this part of central London. Very clean and offered the usual range of fry-ups. While I was there, it seemed that a number of regulars came in for takeaways, so it clearly has a decent reputation. Nothing special, but very clean, quick and decent value in the heart of town.

Enormemente decepcionante. He pasado por este lugar durante años y siempre me ha complacido ver que una cuchara grasienta de la vieja escuela todavía funciona. Por lo tanto, es realmente triste decir que después de haber estado en la ciudad y haber probado el "inglés completo", fue muy pobre. La salchicha y el tocino más baratos, café amargo. Postgusto grasiento desagradable. Atmósfera cero, con el chico detrás del mostrador llamando a su compañía de telefonía móvil por el altavoz tratando de arreglar el crédito. Siempre doy crédito cuando es debido, pero creo que también es justo dar una crítica honesta cuando se trata de una mala experiencia.

The chairs and tables were like those in a school canteen and there was no toilet available for customers. The staff were not overly inviting and attentive. The price of the breakfast is cheap and so you have to be forgiving to some negatives. The food was cooked nicely and came in good time.

I've been aware of this place for over 30 years but never been until now. I was just looking for a place close to the office where I could sit in and get some simple food. It doesn't look much from the outside. Inside it's a bit of a throwback to the 70's but it looks clean enough. Service is what you might expect. Little in the way of politeness or interest in the customers but efficient enough in their way. I went for lasagne and chips with a cup of tea. Relatively inexpensive. The lasagne wasn't the best I've had but not the worst either. I hadn't expected the height of Italian cuisine but it tasted more like something which had been frozen. Plus I had to wait 5 minutes for it to start to cool as it felt like it had been blasted to 100 degrees in the microwave. Overall, OK for a "greasy spoon" but there are better places.

Prese dalla gola abbiamo ordinato anche un fish and chips in tre, sempre con fagioli ed altri toast caldi, tutto fantastico! Il posto è molto semplice, molto basico ma è il suo bello.

Si estás buscando un sándwich en el almuerzo, como nosotros, puede compartir gaseosas frías, patatas fritas, y buenos sandwiches por menos de 10 libras - no en esta parte de la ciudad.

I use this greasy spoon for lunch when I am in London for a spot of street photography. I usually go for the egg and bacon sandwich and a mug of tea. For around £3. 50 the last time I was there in 2016, you can't go wrong. It is actually about 200 yards along Duncannon Street which is about 50 yards east if you are facing the National Gallery.

Chiediamo alla ragazza in cassa di poter pagare con la carta e comincia a sbuffare e fare facce irritate, si gira verso l'altra cameriera e cominciano a ridere di noi. Io, che comprendo l'Inglese, comincio ad innervosirmi e si instaura una certa 'tensione' causata dagli sguardi minacciosi delle cameriere. Davvero pessime, scortesi, prendevano in giro noi Italiani e due signori Francesi (quindi a quanto pare tutti i turisti). Ci sediamo affianco alla vetrina e ci fanno alzare perchè 'dobbiamo attaccare dei fogli sulla vetrina', invece si siede la cameriera a mangiare! Cibo insipido, insapore.. Per fortuna esistono le salse! Questo è quanto!!

Visited this for breakfast while at work. The good news, it's open on a Sunday whereas most similar cafes in the area do not.The food tasted good and is reasonably priced.Bad news: small portions. Advertises mushrooms on the breakfast, and I got two mushrooms cut into half. One egg, one hash brown. Similar venues will give two eggs and two hash browns for the same price. A good place, that is only portion size away from being 5/5

We had fish n' chips and kidney pie, both sided with beans and fries. They tasted good, the staff was nice and the bill was just a little more than ten pounds.

This is a fab little cafe which is a hidden gem, great if you know its there. Opposite Charing Cross front entrance, cross at the crossing going towards Leicester Square and then turn left after Pizza Express on the corner. Good cafe grub such as fry ups and chips etc Well cooked, filling food at a very honest price for central London. They do sandwiches and cakes too.Been coming here for years and returned over the weekend. Fast efficient food delivery and lovely pleasant staff and good prices - its brill - try it!

Lovely traditional cafe just off Trafalgar Square. Large selection of basic breakfasts,sandwiches, cakes and hot drinks. Quick and pleasant service and very economical. The downside is no public toilet, however as the National Gallery is just across the way with good public facilities I don't see it as a problem.

Great for tourists staying in the Trafalgar Square. Quick cheap breakfast and opens early. Went with children. Ask for the bacon and egg sandwiches toasted as doesn't come toasted.

A little haven right near Trafalgar Square. Typical English breakfasts for a reasonable price but also friendly staff who took care to serve their customers. Had the full breakfast which included tea & the sausages & eggs. Both were simple but good. The best thing about this cafe though was finding somewhere peaceful & clean to sit & rest from the crowds & noise while eating.

Went to this sandwich bar ( no toilet) to experience an independent place with no pretentions. close to Trafalgar Square on May 1st after the march and rally there .Asked for a cappuccino from the man behind the bar who had just served a customer with a coffee from Bravilor 3pt. glass decanter and jug of froth.At my request the woman behind the counter moved to the coffee machine beside her.The man instantly motioned to her to stop and served me the same coffee and froth as the customer before me had.I was charged £2.20 for something in a cup with no taste,no flavour,just a hot brown liquid covered in froth and left it after three sips.

Just got back from breakfast at Breadline with my flatmate. You can get a full English breakfast for £6 which comes with a tea or coffee. I asked for no beans but the chef added the beans anyway, apologising, but I just ate around them. I suggest adding another egg to the dish as one egg is not a lot for a breakfast but that's my own opinion. Server lady was friendly and fast. We ordered takeaway sandwiches for our other halves back at our flat and when the server told the order to the chef he quietly made a fuss about it, we noticed this because of his hand gestures and eye rolling. If you can't handle the stress of cooking, hire a new chef who actually has patience and can follow orders when they're put through.

Came into this cafe as I needed to eat quickly and there were queues at other places nearby. The interior is a little basic but don't let that put you off. the food is cheap and tasty and the staff are friendly. Conveniently located near to Trafalgar Square, will eat here again i am sure.

This is what outwardly is known as a 'greasy spoon' or transport cafe style place and it is perfect. Do Not change a thing. Simple fair but hits the mark and at a price which is fair. In a location where cafes are pretentious and expensive this is a little gem. Come here if you want ham egg and chips and no fancy side salad.

I visit here regularly. The food is not fancy though is tasty. The service is friendly and efficient. It's always very peaceful on a weekday evening, despite being in such a busy area. A great place for people looking for some hearty food that's not overpriced and that can be eaten in the peace and quiet.

We have been to the Breadline three times and it wins on every point - it is in a prime location between Charing Cross station and Trafalgar Square, a window seat gives you a nice outlook, you get service with a smile, the coffee is consistently good, the carrot cake and lemon cake are excellent, the coffee and walnut cake is fresh but not quite so good, and the prices are considerably better than anything else in the vicinity. My only suggestion for improvement would be for tea to be served in a cup (teapot even better) and the coffee to be served in a mug instead of tea in a mug and coffee in a cup - seems the wrong way around to me.

Servizio veloce, colazione saporita con caffè macchiato, salsiccia, bacon, uovo, pane tostato (servono anche i fagioli, ma non li ho presi). Più ci penso più mi viene voglia di mangiarne ancora!!! prezzo economico per Londra, Solo 6.00 £!!! Fanno anche fish and chips allo stesso prezzo... in un pub si arriva a pagare anche 14.00 £!!!

Très déçus. On y allait en confiance au vu des commentaires précédents. Arrivés devant on a failli faire demi-tour. On aurait mieux fait !!Le café est mauvais, les saucisses infectes, les beans de mauvaise qualité. Bref à éviter !!En plus pas de toilettes dans l'établissement

Vera colazione inglese in tutto e per tutto. Il loro caffè per noi italiani è un trauma ma rispetta i loro canoni in pieno. Il cibo è squisito. Per la colazione ci ritorno per forza.Locale Carino in stile americano e personale gentilissimo. Anche il prezzo di 6£ è giusto secondo me.
