I ordered a full English breakfast and Coffee was not included not like other Cafes, the toast was only 1 slice which is not enough so I was not satisfied but I asked for more and was given . When I finished eating I ordered another cappuccino, than another teenage lady was telling my waitress to charge me for toast but she said: "no it's ok" so then I thought that's nice. I went back to order a biscuit to have with my coffee , and after they agreed not to charge me for toast the same teenage charged me for extra toast , so I complained and she went ahead go and complain go ahead. . Very rude mean staff . Over a toast. All together just for myself I been charged £18.20 this is daylight robbery.

Good food and drink, can recommend the sausage egg and bacon sandwich and the hot drinks. The staff were all friendly and efficient and the prices were reasonable.

We had a delicious lunch at a very reasonable price. Service was quick and friendly and we left with full tummies. I had the kofta wrap and a pot of mint tea and my sister had the Lebanese breakfast and a cappuccino. Highly recommended!

This is a great place for a good and brunch. The business is run by a husband and wife team who are very passionate and put their heart and soul in the cafe. I had lasagne/ scrambled eggs and their lots are lots of other option. Staff are great to their is Adriana and Alexandra and other wonderful people whose name I cannot remember. They have brought the Parisian style and chic in pinner. You can sit outside and have a coffee and relax. We as a family love going there and the owners are so welcoming and caring. Highly recommend Amici it’s true to its name. Aftab Ebrahim

After burning the candle at both ends this weekend, what better way to start the week then with a freshly made Lebanese coffee and sandwich to-go. The food is fantastic here. The service, quality of produce used and price point make this a very attractive option. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Always a pleasure eating here. My 10 year old loves their burger and their beiruti hummus is my favourite. Very big portion size for me though so I always end up having the half of it take away 😁. Coffee is lovely!

Firstly, the food is lovely. There is a lot of variety available and there is something for everyone. Since the new owners took over, the place looks nicer with the new artwork put up too. The owners are very involved and always there - so they get to know the local community and customers and go all out for them. Nothing is too much and the servers are lovely too. I can't recommend this place more! I also recommended the Lebanese breakfast... 10/10.

The Flat white was priced ok at £2.50 but was underwhelming... not as nice as bread of life or even Costa.

Had the halal breakfast. A good option but on the pricey side at over £8. Decent variety but not a huge meal. Four mushrooms, a single hash brown, a single sausage and a couple of eggs. All probably sources from nearby Lidl. Coffee not included. But good to support a local independent cafe than one of the big beasts

They also do takeaway, and all you need to do is ask when your ordering at the café. Excellent Raheb (vegan) and very tasty Hummus Beirut (vegan). The Raheb especially was a very large portion, and for £8.50 can feed 2, if not 3 people. Both meals came with decent dressed salad (pickles, and common veg) and thin pitta bread.

I like to think I’m a fair person and do understand that people can have an ‘off’ day, that said, here’s my first and definitely last experience of this cafe. Having recently moved into Pinner, my colleague and I decided to pop in for a coffee, how I wish we hadn’t. On entering, we were met with a stern faced young lady who didn’t smile or even say good morning, she just stood there and waited for me to speak. I asked for a coffee and before I could ask a question, she trotted off to make my coffee, plonked it down and gave me the price?! My colleague and I looked at each other somewhat confused, I paid and we walked out. She full well knew her attitude was wrong yet didn’t care one iota. I’m not sure if this is a chain or a one off family run business but can safely say, this is no way to treat a paying customer. To be totally fair, maybe I was unlucky and therefore doing them a disservice as the service may be excellent the rest of the time? I really hope so as my review is not a matter of opinion, it’s a fact. I always try to support local businesses as opposed to big chains but am flabbergasted at the lack of any warmth or welcoming atmosphere created by this young lady. As a customer, I don’t require “yes Sir,” or overly polite service, I do however expect a smile or a “good morning,” not a “death stare.” We now go to Wenzels next door, where the staff are exemplary, friendly and welcoming. I sincerely wish Amici good luck in the future because if my experience is anything to go by, they’ll certainly need it.

Popular, well-run cafe in Pinner with a huge and ambitious menu, ranging from the English all-day breakfast to Lebanese and Halal dishes and quite a few vegetarian options. If some people find the service a bit gruff at times I reckon that might be due to a slight language barrier but I like the staff - hardworking, conscientious and enthusiastic. I had the all-day breakfast, which couldn't be bettered, and I shall look forward to trying some of the other options. The coffee might be a bit strong for some people's taste. Maybe next time I'll try the Lebanese Coffee, or the wide range of tea.

An absolutely lovely independent cafe based here in Pinner.

I've been going here for years, so it must be okay. I'd rate it as one of Pinner's best independent cafe right now. It's not cheap and cheerful, and it's not great for vegetarian or vegan, but the coffee and cakes are good. Hopeless for a meal or breakfast, unless you eat a cheese toastie. Many of the customers are regular, often sitting on the pavement with their dogs or cigarettes. Unfortunately the WiFi is now provided by XLN, and therefore doesn't work most of the time. Therefore I only go there every few weeks now. I would give it three stars instead of four, but in spite of the WiFi and poor veggie choices, it's good quality and atmosphere.

Just back from a long brunch and catch up at Amici. It is always nice to support an independent place and this is a prime example. We enjoyed a cooked ' lighter' breakfast and good coffee. We did note that the full breakfast wasn't much more in price but didn't want that much food. There should have been a greater price difference as that made the smaller meal rather expensive (£7). There were plenty of staff and we were not rushed or pushed to move on at any point. We both enjoyed the experience and will revisit .

So to have a good halal breakfast Is difficult at times but here the sausages and turkey bacon are fantastic all g with fresh mushrooms and tomatoes (not tinned) , always very well cooked , staff are very courteous and attentive even when busy. They also serve a vast array of sandwiches and wraps. Now here’s what makes this place different , the owner really cares for the quality of service and food , as well as being personable with the customers, this is what makes a good place a great place. I also tried some of the patisserie today and it was amazing so I’m looking forward to trying some different ones in the future. Coffee is also well made and a good blend. Thank you Amici

We visited Cafe Amici last month with my students from my SEN school who all had a wonderful time. The service was exceptional, food delicious & drinks absolutely great. Here are some of the reviews the students have written about Cafe Amici: I went on a trip to sainsbury with my classmates but before we went first we went to a cafe and we ate chocolate donuts and juice and it was yummy and the cafe workers were kind to me. I had a hot chocolate and a donuts it tasted delicious.the people who worked here were friendly and helpful.the cafe was spacious with christmas decorations. 10 out of 10 I had hot chocolate and donuts. They were delicious and yummy. It felt good to be there . The people working did a good job . Score 5/5 I had a hot chocolate and a donuts it was yummy. I was very happy the people who worked there were friendly and helpful. 5 stars out of 2 Yeah it's very nice I loved chocolate donuts so gorgeous then I just have hot chocolate wow scrumptious and amazing We took the minibus to get there and the people were very friendly, they laughed at my silly jokes Last but not least its outstanding 10/10 I’m feeling happy at Cafe Amici. They made me special food, yummy, tummy, best and wonderful food and drink at Cafe Amici. I had toasts with butter, jam and hot chocolate for a hot snack. 10/10 We had a wonderful time, definitely recommend!! Thank you so much!!

This is an amazing venue if you want quality food, quality shisha and attentive service. I visited this venue for the first time with friends. The staff were attentive and welcoming. No pressure to order several shishas per group which has been my experience at other shisha venues in the surrounding areas in the past. I ordered the falafel salad and mint tea. The food was fresh and had been prepared with care. The shisha quality was also amazing. Usually I always feel that there is a harshness to shisha but at this venue it was soo smooth- clearly they are using quality shisha, flavouring and coal. The staff also come around to change the coal and remove any excess ash. One of the owners Naz was extremely friendly and actually sat with us and socialised with us for a while which was a great touch. The prices are also very reasonable. Overall a really nice chilled out venue. I would recommend and will definitely be returning.

It was more synchronicity than accident that the first Wetherspoons emerged from the first year of Thatcher: the rise of this business model walked hand in hand with the gradual erosion of the Working Men’s Club, where subsidised beer was part of the overall energy of what was on offer. Back in the day, men would sit so very loyally in these institutions, often finishing a shift, going straight there to either nurse beer or watch what entertainment on offer. It wasn’t urban myth that women of the seventies and eighties marriages would walk to these clubs and serve their men the dinner there, or come in for a row. The proverbial stay at home wife still exists, though today a far different creature, being kept happy with holidays, cars and home furnishings. This bar has an ignored tourist base: all Wetherspoons now, regardless of geography should be aware of the Arbnb market. But, like all chains, it has no hope of dealing with this energy, preferring instead to deal with the constraints of blanket brand approach. Here, moments away from the most exclusive boy’s school in the country exists a dogged Trinity: heavily pierced and tattooed staff with relationship interconnectivity with staff elsewhere in Harrow bars, gossip with customers that are not too happily married. 2 fiercely compromised gentlemen of note need really badly to hold court: one a compulsive gambler and self appointed Town Cryer/Snitch, the other a coke addict, needing cheap boooze and proximity to a nearby club that facilitates more time away from the missus. Both are guilty of rumour spreading to qualify for Anglo Saxon Village punishment. Further back from the seventies, gossips, snitches and muck spreaders were Cukked: bathed in excrement and shamed. The third aspect to this Trinity is the barring policy of Spoons. Here the really nasty alternative life of a post grad is eased with the power to barr. The town itself has the barring from this bar as a kind of weird Badge of Honor. Everyone who has it in them to give money to this institution has been barred at one time or another. Note that it took a huge amount of effort to have Greene King barr a very irritating individual claiming to be the cousin of Tim Martin. His very best friend sits here whilst others remain barred. Another visit is due. The poor social media (almost), says it all. Wetherspoons has it’s critics but remains a great brand. Reliability, social cohesion and a sense of history are it’s strengths. BUT, it has a tendency to be one thing in the centre of things and another in the suburbs and regions. It need not be so. A visit to The Beaten Docket in Cricklewood is where a traveller will find groups of guys playing cards, backgammon, enjoying each other without a whiff of a chance of one of them stabbing the backs of the league. Centrally located Spoons are a boon. If thinking that this bar represents brand or locale it serves, think again, go instead to the Three Wishes in Pinner or the Spoons in Baker St.
