Cafe Amici in Harrow

Excellent independent reasonably priced cafe in Pinner. Busy at 11 but still fast service when I stopped for coffee. Worth passing a few chains for.

Part of our order was a blueberry and strawberry smoothie. No other ingredients were listed on the menu board. My son and I watched the staff member make it and the main ingredient was apple juice. Like a lot of apple juice. Then a small bag of frozen blueberries and strawberries were put into the blender. We commented to each other as the smoothie was being made that it seemed like a lot of apple juice to put into a blueberry and strawberry smoothie. Sure enough, the smoothie looked and tasted like an apple slush. It was the colour of apple juice and we couldn’t taste any blueberries or strawberries. I took it back to the counter and told the girl who had made it about the issue and she went and got a woman who was apparently the manager/owner. I told her about the problem and she said, “Yes, it’s because we make it with apple juice”. Now, faced with logic like that I should have realised I would get nowhere with this woman. I said, “Yes, I know that. We watched as it was being made. But it tastes only like apple juice, nothing else”. She said again, “Yes that’s because we make it with apple juice. But we put a small bag of fruit in there”. Again, I told her, yes I know, we watched it as it was being made. She said, “That’s the way it is. You can have it or you can have your money back”. I got our money back and my son decided he would try a vanilla milkshake. It wasn’t very good either. Artificial vanilla and very sweet and syrupy. Avoid. Horrible slushes, I mean smoothies. Horrible customer service.

As a long-time regular customer at this coffee shop, I am disappointed with the lack of customer service, particularly from one of the waitresses who still fails to recognise me and often treats me as if I don’t belong. On one occasion, I was even offered a couple of sachets of sugar and a takeaway spoon for purchase, which is frankly unacceptable. The overall experience is far from friendly or welcoming, and this behaviour does not reflect good customer service.

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.

Hopefully this was a one off having been before without problems. But, we were seated by the female owner/manager at a table of 4 (inside) on the way to the park this afternoon. I ordered 2 lots of x2 Ice Cream scoops for my kids (as promised) and a large coffee for me, so 3 ppl in total. We were then asked to move to a smaller table a few minutes after ordering by the same lady as we had "only ordered Ice Cream" and they wanted the table back. The smaller table had her open laptop and paperwork on it and we were then told having been approached again that the table we were now sitting at was reserved and we had to leave in 10 mins, this was before our order had arrived! The male owner/manager gave me a half (embarrassed) appology when we paid and left as quickly as we could. I replied I didn't realialse you couldn't order ice cream and coffee only to which he didn't respond. I spent the next 20 mins answering my 7 & 8 year olds questions. Why did we have to move table? Why did we have to rush our Ice Cream? And lastly... Who did that laptop belong to? Maybe put a sign up to state there is a minimum spend per person to be seated. There are a few more places to get Ice Cream & Coffee in Pinner thankfully :-)

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!

Another lovely chicken salad. Can't fault this cafe as it serves delicious food and there is good service. Sometimes it is busy but this has never been a problem for me. Really good local place I hope gets support.

Very good breakfast. Pleasant staff.

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.

Great English breakfast as always, fast service and friendly staff!

We are lucky to have amici in Pinner, the food is amazing, the environment is great and the owners are lovely people, always checking on their clients, always smiling and making everyone feel welcome, this is my second review for this place, I definitely recommend it!

I’ve been here twice now and will come back again! The food is great, good prices, and great location. The staff is very nice and the food came rather quickly! Which I was surprised about because it was a bit busy. Great atmosphere and I especially recommend their smoothies!

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!

Beautiful peaceful cafe with delicious halal breakfast. I liked my hot chocolate with oat milk. Salem, the owner was very friendly to chat to.

Always fresh and delicious food. The staff and the owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. Service and prices are adequate and reasonable. My daughter loves the pancakes and I enjoy every minute in here. Havana coffee is a must have 😍

Lovely little restaurant.Serves meals,snacks,sandwiches,toasties and lovely desserts.The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much bother for them.A very nice experience.

My husband and I love this café - it's like a home from home. Lovely staff and friendly customers. Delicious food using high quality ingredients. Lots of choice on the menu for all dietary needs.

I had the honey latte and the coffee was very rich in flavor and the service was excellent.

Good double espresso, very friendly atmosphere, very friendly service and welcome!

I was very impressed with the atmosphere and my drink was great.

Best food and atmosphere and lovely staff

Salam the woner and all stuff are friendly and helpful

Popped in about a month ago for coffee sat outside as it was a lovely warm day the place was full of customers the coffee was extremely good so I came today with a friend I had a falafel wrap and my friend had a Mexican wrap they were huge and exceptionally good I had an apple and cinnamon tea and and my friend had an Americano coffee £23 worth every penny.

What a joy to have a chicken and avocado salad with much more besides in it. So filling and delicious. Very reliable and efficient service. Love this place. Great value.

one of the best in the UK Lovely staff and tasty food

£5.20 for an iced coffee with coconut milk!!!! £4.50 normally but charged the extra .70p for alternative milk. Jesus Christ the audacity, £5.20!!!!!! Shocking and the guy behind the till had the audacity to tell me it’s cheaper here than anywhere else. Terrible. Coffee tasted bang average too. Would not recommend.

Attended Caffe and been warm welcome, nice atmosphere, prices on high side so we expected nice food however chicken escalope I have ordered was like rubber - couldn't cut it, couldn't bite it. On pluse I need to say that salad was nice and fresh in opposite to old reheated meat. Coffee was OK as well - nothing wow but ok.

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 most amazing and authentic Lebanese breakfast. Brought memories of back home. Wife had English breakfast which was also amazingly delicious

Love this Local Cafe! The staff are always super friendly and the food super tasty. But the main reason we go here is for the coffee.. First Class!

This place is lovely, great food and service.

Lovely bacon baguette and black coffee.

Just a lovely place to sit down and eat. Very friendly staff. And great coffee.

Wonderful atmosphere and outstanding service! I would definitely recommend :)

Good food, very friendly staff and owner takes care of his customers.

Ordered ommlette wich comes with salad on the side for about £10 which by its self is ok but I asked for Avacado on the side and a sausage which cost £4 more for a tiny cold sausage and tiny bit of Avocado. The Flat white was priced ok at £2.50 but was underwhelming... not as nice as bread of life or even Costa.

Amazing food served by a very friendly and helpful group of staff! A relaxing ambience with a beautiful interior! The chocolate milkshakes are so good

The food was delicious and staff are always welcoming!

Great experience, customer service was brilliant!

Friendly customer service and great food, will definitely be visiting again!

I wish I could give it 6 stars. I love it. The hot chocolate is the way I like it and creamy. Lovely halal breakfasts. Sausages are exactly the way I like them. Chicken burger has the vegetables that I like in it. Owner is friendly and fair.

Absolutely amazing staff and great food.

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

Very friendly staff with great food. Would recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy good food.

Great service and friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent cafe. Great breakfast. Lovely service.

Great food, outstanding hospitality, amazing vibe, beautiful artwork.

Lovely staff, lovely food, excellent value!

Been here twice and the food is so good with a nice interior

The present owners have really improved Amici. Excellent service with the friendliest owners and good coffee.

Went here as our local cafe is closed on a Monday. Had great eggs benedict and coffee, parter had breakfast fry up.

Very nice presentation & tasty food but a little bit overpriced and quantity was not much Thank you

We were gutted when our favourite cafe closed down their Pinner branch, but finding this gem of a place (Cafe Amici) was a nice surprise. Good quality food, fabulous coffee and lovely personable staff.

Lovely staff. Great food! Loved their flat white. Had to go back a week later.

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.

Great halal breakfast in harrow very kind staff would highly recommend for good quality tasting all day breakfast. 10/10

One of the best place I visit Nice food

Lovely cafe with great staff that accommodate to your every need. Delicious food and pastries and the kind gentlemen gave me a free pistachio cannoli on the house which definitely made my day! Cafe Amici has not seen the last of me :)

Best English breakfast in Harrow with options for Halal! Absolutely great customer service, with very friendly staff- feel just at home! 5 star rating and is now a new breakfast spot for us! Highly recommended.

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.

A lovely all day Amici breakfast with very attentive staff. Much better than those offered locally

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.

Went there for impromptu lunch. Good service. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Quite busy

This is a wonderful cafe with excellent food and the service is excellent too. A man, obviously a regular customer, came in while I was there. He was greeted by all the members of staff and I could tell why he went there often. I was sad I was just passing through!

Lovely friendly staff, food is great too, good portion sizes

Excellent full breakfast. Great service.

Was ok. Got there at 4.30 pm just to get a coffee and was straight away told they close at 5pm. Felt rushed and uncomfortable!

This is a delightful cafe, with helpful staff, a large, varied menu and tasty, well presented food and large portions. We will definitely be returning

Good breakfasts with nice service 👍

Loved it when we went before. This time food was uninspiring

Really cute friendly run mini cafe on the main road of Pinner. Staff were great, well supportive during visit, food presented well, perfectly sized portions, spacious areas for food outside in well lit sunny area as well as inside air conditioned area. Thanks :)

Nice coffee. I've sat in once and the rest takeaway. The staff seem nice and welcoming. You can sit outside or sit in. Worth a visit for good coffee. Flat white for me was £2.50.

Very delicious coffee and friendly staff here. Would definitely recommend to others.

It's okay, I had a chocolate muffin but was quite dry. And the cappuccino was just about moderately warm.

Lovely staff, great food and coffee, and loads more

I’ve been here so many times. But today is the day to write a review. I love this place. Thank you for an amazing breakfast which was like medicine to my soul. Best cafe for miles and miles. (amazing sausages) lovely staff. Long love the independent cafe of our beloved high streets.

Family friendly, good food, good service

The worst sandwich in history, I've seen better toasted cheese sandwiches in Tutankhamun's sarcophagus, Supermarket bread insufficient cheese filling and nothing on the side, no crisps no salad, it's the kind of food you expect to see in a soup kitchen.

Loved the panini and the large tea pot.

Total disaster from start to end , too much to write apart from will never come back here 😫 Would have given no stars if I could have , only redeeming thing was the young English speaking waitress that tried her best to rectify the issues - she gets the star ⭐️

An absolutely lovely independent cafe based here in Pinner. We have visited a number of times for a cooked breakfast, pancake stack or sandwich and it has become our weekend pit stop for coffee or mint tea and a piece of cake after a long walk with friends. Clean, quick service and delicious food. Highly recommend.

My friend & myself popped in for a coffee,the staff were very polite & welcoming,which makes the whole experience all the more enjoyable! It's definitely a place to go & have coffee& something nice with it!☕🍰😊

Lovely place and food. Great staff

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

Great coffee and little pastries, bellissima!

Great coffee and little cakes, bellissima

We had the pleasure of having halal breakfast today morning with family. Overall great experience, freshly prepared food, amazing service with very nicely maintained decor and cutlery. Kids ordered the full English breakfast which they have it in halal option also which was a pleasant surprise. We also ordered milkshakes and English tea which was also freshly prepared. Highly recommended for families as our kids had a great time. We met with owner also who is very courteous and understandable for our requests.

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!!

Massive shout out to the amazing Cafe Amici in Pinner!!! They were so welcoming and hospitable with the group of young people with special needs that teach at a local high school. We had the most delicious hot chocolate and a beautiful selection of home made sweet treats!! All the students and staff loved it!! We will definitely be returning again in 2022 and I can highly recommend Cafe Amici as a beautifully decorated, exceptionally kind, spotlessly clean and utterly delicious place to eat drink and spend some quality time!!

Beautiful food. Best coffee. Great staff. Artwork brilliant!

Really great food, varied menu so was able to please everyone(!!!) and the service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

Caffe Amici is really popular because it has great coffee tea and pastries with a pleasant atmosphere

Simple Lebanese hardworking family running the show, they know more than 50% customers and they are with them for years, lovely service and delicious food, must visit in Pinner

Very good coffee and a good price

Ok for a quick sit down and snack.
