Browns Cafe in Harrow

Today I went to this cafe in Stanmore for the first time! I recommend, this place is so warm and welcoming, starting from the service that is very attentive, to the food that is in line with the price and quality! 5/5

A frequent visitor to this fabulous little Caffe. Highly recommended and always check the special board for jummy extras

I can't lie but I've come here many times and the food is banging, the staff are the best and I can't wait to see more of this place. Love you guys. Browning 👍☺️

We sat outside and had coffee/tea on completion of our walk. Excellent coffee and tea, interesting cups and service with a smile. A very positive experience - Thank you.

I have been a regular customer for nearly 2 years now and never have I been disappointed by the quality of the food, drinks especially the coffee and the customer service. The staff are the nicest people and clearly care about customers feelings. Definitely 10000/10 recommend!

We ordered vegetarian sausages (take away), but unfortunately, they gave non-vegetarian sausages instead. It was only after consuming them that I realized the error. Having been a vegetarian for the past 40 years, this oversight left me feeling incredibly uncomfortable for several days thereafter. Veg and non-veg sausages look similar, and I realized the mistake only after the first bite. If you choose not to believe me, that's up to you. I've reviewed all the negative feedback, and there's a consistent theme in your responses: "let me agree, let me disagree." This suggests you may not be listening effectively. Your staff are human and can make mistakes, but it's important to acknowledge and address these errors.

An excellent local cafe, excellent value, great food, great service. Very popular with local community. Half English Breakfast, a large cappuccino, Poached eggs on toast and Green juice. 2 happy regular customers

This is a fantastic place ! I go there quite often. The food and variety is excellent. They make very good coffee. Amazing falafel. Delicious carrot cake . The plates are so nicely presented . Davide is always so accommodating. He is the heart of the place. I have never been dissatisfied with food or service. Please continue like this,

A big thank you to the staff at theStanmore branch for being so lovely and finding us a table even though we mistakenly booked a table at the wrong branch. The food and service was faultless. Definitely worth a visit even the coffees are amazing

Such a lovely place! Amazing food and great atmosphere. Such lovely staff and excellent customer service. Definitely worth at least twice a week visit. Definitely 100/10 recommend. 😍

The experience got off to a troubling start! Staff body language communicated a disheartening no-no! No eye contact, no smile, no words of welcome. I had to initiate awareness of my presence - the place was empty save for one table of two customers. Frontline members of staff were forgetful & lacked anticipation: I had to ask for cutlery; I had to remind & ask for requested vinegar, which eventually arrived not in a bottle but in a tiny ceramic dish; staff within proximity ignored the crashing sound of my knife hitting the floor - oops, I dropped it - and so I had to initiate & ask for a clean replacement. Slow at food item service, which resulted in cold, unpalatable ham & cheese toasty; ignored my attempts to pay my bill with a card even though I proffered the plate with a VISA card to the waitress. Menus description failure: The so-called "skin on chips" side was nothing of the sort, merely regular chips, few in number but high in cost, a whopping £3.90 to add to the price of £7.40 of my ham & cheese toasty. The menu describes add-on sides as "PIMP [sic] YOUR PLATE", a curious use of the word, a risible misnomer in the circumstances. I'd rewrite this as 'rip off...plate', for I witnessed the next table of two customers being palmed off with zero consideration and/or adequate recompense when the staff were informed of a food hygiene issue. The team has difficulty communicating verbally in English & has zero understanding of the norms of common sense & PR customer care in the hospitality industry. Owners need to take a grip on what's going on and what's not at Oak Caffe, more like Gaffe Caffe, if you ask me. Local eateries/cafes were busy, one on the same street overflowing outside with customers, a telling reflection of lamentable standards at this troubled eatery.

Ordered a tuna melt sandwich. Very vinegary! Came with a side salad which had a very long human hair in it!! Waitress said she would make a new salad but came back with the same salad rearranged! Sent it back again and said "we don't want another". The manager appeared with yet another salad which we had said we didn't want they also tried to compensate with a couple of small pastries which were stale. No allowance was made on the bill for the lack of hygiene and service. Have been to this cafe many times without a problem and will not be returning!

Lovely food, great menu, excellent service and the best coffee in town! And they make the coffee hot :)

This is the best cafe in Stanmore in my opinion! The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food and coffee are excellent. In addition, I prefer giving business to an independent establishment.

We have been coming here for a few years as we are local and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and very well cooked. The staff are brilliant, nothing is a problem for them.. even a toddler who wants to order everything from the menu! Thank you for always being so welcoming

We really enjoyed our lunch. Good quality, wide selection on menu and very friendly staff. They catered for gluten free diet. Pancakes made from oat flour is something very rarely offered elsewhere.

The food was delicious and presented so nicely! The staff were all friendly and helpful. Such a great cafe, definitely recommend.

Very polite and helpful barrista shop assistant, maybe the owner. Lovely atmosphere and very Christmassy in a welcoming and pleasant way. Had a cappucino with almond milk, very strong for my taste, but fresh and good! Had the vegan cake, it was probably not made in store and it was not fresh either, a little bit stale. Loved the atmosphere and the decor. Warm and friendly place to hang out in. I loved the fact they offered table service! They also accept cash payments! Thank you for a welcoming experience and for offering us a warm spot to hang out in.

Tasty food and friendly staff. Can’t really go wrong! Nice little atmosphere and vibe in here too. A great breakfast to start my day.

Had a really good friendly welcome and then enjoyed a great lunch. Nicely presented food at very sensible prices.

After coming here 2 years ago and being very disappointed we decided to give it a second chance. This time round very warm efficient service, very generous portion of cake and good drinks. I don't know if the owners/management have changed but I would be very happy to come back again.

Looked for a place to have a good cup of coffee Asked a local and they recommended this cafe We could see why . . . Nice welcome from friendly, smiling staff Great decor inside, with an Italian favour Don't miss the amazing colourful map...

Huge menu I chose the Oak Salad which I think was £9.50. I felt like I’d gone back to the old days because the portion was a proper meal size. The salad included loads of leaves with a generous portion of bacon, chicken and avocado...

This is a hit and miss place. First time round we ordered simple toasted sandwich and bap. Second time food came out super cold. Third time is definitely the very last. Very disappointed. I would not eat there again which is a shame as itsa...

My partner and I came for breakfast and it was beyond our expectations! Two girls running everything so smoothly- from taking orders, making fresh squeezed juices, coffees and teas didnt show a sign of frustration. Very impressive. Big compliments to chef, food arrived on time,...

Came here for brunch, deciding to try somewhere new and independent. Unfortunately I think my order was forgotten and other people recieved their food before I got mine despite ordering after me. Unfortunately when my Eggs Florentine arrived the eggs were translucent and not cooked,...

When you walk in through the door you are immediately greeted by a smiling member of staff which sets the tone. Service is good and there's a reasonable menu with plenty of choice. Good selection of hot drinks. Nice atmosphere and a good addition to...

We went there on a breakfast bday for a friend. There were plenty of choices in the menu. The location was nice and clean the staff was very helpful and professional! The toilets need improvement and the food needs to be in the kitchen not...

5 mins walk from tube, Brown’s opens at 7am. Serves a perfectly adequate English breakfast and good coffee. Pleasant service If I’m in the area again early morning I’ll go back

Fabulous cafe. Food great and staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Very reasonable. Food very fresh and generous portions.

My wife and I went in for breakfast during our visit to family in the area. We both ordered their half English with extras of black pudding, and a hot drink. The staff informed us that this would work out more expensive than their full...

Have used Browns cafe on numerous occasions. Very good menu, excellent food at reasonable prices and always service with a smile

Great bunch spot on stanmore high-street! I got my favourite; avo toast & poached eggs and it was very yummy! Service is fab and owners & staff were very friendly. Highly recommend for a cheap but good meal.

I am a very fussy eater, found myself hungry in Stanmore with some time to kill, so I decided to give this place a try. I was greeted by a friendly waitress, who guided me to their special offer (which was a bargain I couldn’t...

Nice little place this, it's a exactly what you would expect from a small cafe. I have had a breakfast here before which was fine, this time I had lunch and chose the cheese and bacon burger with chips. For the price (£5.50) it's great!...

Staff friendly and helpful. Food good. Lovely little cafe. This was my second visit and will definitely be back.

This cafe is old school with the decor and menu. It has all the usual food a cafe has to offer. Is always packed full. Seating is limited. Very popular with the locals.

What business doesn't accept card in this day and age? Very inconvenient. Food average. Barracuda which is 30 seconds walk away is a 100x more modern, spacious and comfortable along with more menu choice. Service OK.

Siamo capitati per caso in questa caffetteria. Dopo aver provato caffè nero e costa senza essere rimasti soddisfatti, siamo entrati. Locale piccolo ma accogliente. Ho ordinato due espressi single... con mia grande sorpresa mi hanno risposto in italiano. Il proprietario e un italiano molto gentile ed amichevole. Il caffè finalmente decente. Il locale fa anche primi italiani e inglesi e breakfast tipica. Da provare sia perché ci si sente in famiglia e sia per l alta qualità dei prodotti utilizzati. Tornerò sicuramente.

Popped in for a late brekky which was lovely. I had a bacon and mushroom sarnie, daughter had a small English breakfast and wife had a burger and chips. Yum

Decent enough breakfast (vegetarian). Service with a smile and clean. Produce was fresh. Basic decor but suitable for a cafe. Filter coffee seeemed a little weak

He estado en Browns muchas veces con mis amigos. Es un gran lugar para un encontrarse y hacen un desayuno fabuloso. Servicio encantador siempre feliz en su trabajo y cortés.

Solía vivir en Stanmore hace unos 15 años. Mi marido entonces es un americano y bf utilizada para caminar hasta Brown y beber abundante tazas de café y leer el periódico y mientras yo estaba en el trabajo. Dijo que el servicio era siempre agradable y entonces él acabamos comiendo allí el desayuno inglés completo. El desayuno era simplemente correcto... Mi familia todavía pop en de vez en cuando,..

Como nuestro local que frecuentan este lugar regularmente. Un pequeño café, sirve un completo desayuno inglés, genial entre otras cosas una mierda como sándwiches y hamburguesas, etc.

Very nice cafe specially for lunch time take aways. I love their Chips and Cheese and tomato toasted sandwiches. the staff are super friendly even when they are busy like hell....

She who must be obeyed and I went for a breakfast saturday morning. The establishment was clean, a little on the small side, the menu apart from printed format put out on the tables was well set out on blackboards on the walls. The service was quick and efficient. The food was hot and tasty. Well worth a visit.......

This is one of my fav cafe, where food is fresh. The cafe is clean. Brilliant service. Always busy so have to get there early to get s table.

The staff here are so friendly, the place is always clean and their breakfast is fantastic! Always come out of here smiling! X

Friendly staff, freshly cooked food to order. Mark and his team do an outstanding job and go the extra mile to please the customer.

Nipped in on the recommendation of my neighbour, fresh cooked and well-served food, great cuppa to just sit back and relax if you need some chill out time to watch the world go by.

Love this cafe, love the people. My only bug bear is that they don't advertise their take away coffee better to beat out the local dominating chains, I know it's better value and made with more love, and they also don't have free range egg/pork options. I understand not everyone cares, but I do and would love the choice! :)

Our father has Vascular Dementia and has been going to the cafe for the past two years following the death of our mother, the staff have been wonderful, caring and understanding which is a rarity in these times. Due to the deterioration of his health he has recently been unable to attend the cafe on his own and when he did return the staff all came and talked to him and asked how he was, this boosted our father's confidence no end. Our family would like to thank all staff for the wonderful caring attitude to their customers which is so very rare these days, please do not ever change. Thank you so much.Added to this the food is excellent, a jewel amongst all the fast food tacky cafe/restaurants that are around now.

What a lovely little cafe! The service was excellent; friendly waitress and manager (probably the owner, I'm not a regular.) The prices are decent, and the food is top notch. My father-in-law and I both had ham, eggs and chips. Decent chips, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. My wife had a tuna mayo baguette, which she devoured like it was going out of fashion.

Food clean and fresh tasting clean oil used. Staff pretty friendly and chilled. Fair prices my only gripe is breakfast lacks a little in flavour. But I will still use this cafe.

I have Eaten in here several times. It's a little crowded. The staff can be rude at times and the food isn't anything to shout about. No presentation. Food is plonked in front of you, you eat, you go. We had breakfast here last week. It wasn't great. I won't be coming back....

Offering the usual fair for a traditional english cafe, the food is good and the value is great, a nice little cafe all round.

This is my local cafe and I eat there regularly. The service is good and quick and the food is excellent. The prices are extremely fair. The coffee is better than the International chain of shops with an outlet next door!

Best breakfast place in Stanmore/ Canons Park. Nice breakfasts and great service! Ordered the full grill and as cooked to perfection! Staff are really friendly

Always welcoming. Food is served quickly which is great as I'm usually on lunch break. Both hot food served and take away sandwiches. It's busy but I never feel rushed.

Been going for years, kids love it, food is consistent, staff are lovely. It's not the cheapest cafe around but you get what you pay for and we always enjoy a good light lunch or breakfast at Browns!

This friendly cafe is a regular lunch spot while on Saturday shopping trips with mother in law. Great value, spot on jacket spuds and breakfasts as well as specials and themed baguettes, always bustling with regulars who clearly know a good thing when they see one. If you're in the area drop in, you won't regret it.

Great service good food less oilSunday lunch hmmmmmDefo go back againFriendly staff and ownersJust need more food

I love this Café, its one of my favourites... Staff are great, and always a pleasure... Food is good too... If in Stanmore, you must go in there.... Its lovely food, coupled with atmosphere.
