My husband and I went here for brunch this morning and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the experience. The food was excellent - I got the full English, my husband got a galette, and we shared a lemon sugar crepe - all delicious and well-priced. We also had the pleasure of speaking with Fred and his son, who were absolutely delightful and had great suggestions for what to do with the rest of our afternoon. It was so nice to dine at a small family-run business, and to see Fred take such pride in the work he does. When we come back to London, we will be coming back to Cafe de Fred!

Loved Cafe de Fred! My boyfriend and I came here two mornings for breakfast during our trip to London and would gladly have returned had our stay been longer. I had the English breakfast the first day and Belgian waffles the next. I greatly enjoyed both, with the waffles being my personal favorite (they were delicious). Fred was a great host and a pleasure to meet. We really enjoyed chatting with him after we had finished our meals. Would definitely recommend stopping by!

Cafe de Fred is just down the road from my son’s school so I visit often with my two children. The owner and head chef (Fred) is a super friendly and charming individual and always has a smile on his face, regardless of the day he’s having :) The coffee is great quality, the wide choice of food is all cooked from scratch by Fred himself (including the gorgeous tarts and cakes - I’d recommend the tarte au citron)) and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming (and fabulously “old-school“). My son loves going in there for his weekly pain-au-chocolat and to look at the giant map of the world which pretty much takes up a whole wall! Obviously we can’t sit inside at the moment but Fred has made the cafe COVID-compliant and is still a lovely place to pick up a takeaway coffee and croissant, plus I think it’s so important to support small businesses at this time. See you in there!

La comida está bien y el personal es amable.Si es anterior a la corona, sería un bonito café de barrio.Sin embargo, es un lugar espantoso al que ir durante la pandemia.Lo peor: el cocinero y el camarero no usaban máscara ni protección para la cara, no había distancia social, hablaban sobre nuestra comida y nuestras cabezas. Sus driblets podrían haber caído en nuestra comida, en nosotros y en la mesa.Lo segundo peor: usan la misma jarra de leche sin desinfectar ni lavar / limpiar de una mesa a otra.Aún impactante: las salsas de mesa llegaron a la mesa a pedido, pero no se desinfectaron antes de traerlas.La mesa en la que nos sentamos no fue limpiada ni desinfectada antes de sentarnos: las migas de pan que estaban en la mesa indicaron que ni siquiera se limpió.El café es pequeño y no está exactamente bien ventilado aunque la puerta principal esté abierta.No tienen un folleto o una hoja de menú (escrito solo en la pared detrás del mostrador de comida) y supongo que es riesgoso para la corona.¿Por qué no piensan lo mismo sobre las salsas de mesa y la jarra de leche?El gobierno del Reino Unido debe establecer las reglas de higiene de la corona para los restaurantes y debe cancelar su licencia si aquellos que no cumplen con las regulaciones.No volveré nunca más allí ya que el propietario y las personas que trabajan allí tienen poca sensibilidad y conciencia de la higiene para la corona, y no practican - También me hace preguntarme si son higiénicos en general en la cocina y el local.

En voyage à Londres avec mon copain, j'ai voulu lui faire découvrir un VRAI breakfast anglais ! Mission réussie au café de Fred !Le maître des lieux nous a accueilli d'une manière si conviviale et souriante, j'en suis encore vraiment touchée... Il n'a pas hésité à nous donner des conseils et des renseignements sur les arrêts de bus et stations de métro lorsque je lui ai fait part de notre itinéraire pour la journée !En plus d'être au top au niveau contact humain, le breakfast était P-A-R-F-A-I-T ! J'y retournerai dès que je reviendrai à Londres ! N'hésitez pas, vraiment cela vaut le détour ! Des prix attractifs, un accueil chaleureux et un breakfast au top !Mention spéciale au délicieux jus de pomme fait maison, l'impression de croquer la pomme tout en se délectant !Bref, n'y allez pas, courez y and enjoy ;)

Nous séjournions au NH Hôtel d’Earls Court et ne voulions pas être tenu par des horaires pour le petit déjeuner. Aucun problème, il y a Fred à 200 mètres sur la route qui remonte vers Highstreet Kensington. Que dire ? Parfait au niveau petit déjeuner (continental et anglais), jus de fruits faits à la minute (je conseille le jus d’orange et carottes), muffins et café americano ont été mes préférés. Fred est d’une sympathie et d’un sourire tellement rare dans cette ville gigantesque et impersonnelle. C’est vrai qu’Earls Court a encore une ambiance de quartier. Sur mes 3 nuits, je suis allé deux fois au Café de Fred (dimanche c’était fermé). Fred fait aussi des sandwichs tout au long de la journée. A très bientôt pour un petit déjeuner Full Monty copieux.

We ate breakfast here and were very impressed with everything - the food, the quality, the service, the care, the cleanliness - all at reasonable prices. Family run i think. I’m a very fussy person usually but even I couldn’t fault this place. We’re from the midlands and found it a bit difficult to find a ‘normal cafe’ that wasn’t solely focused on the trend of catering for vegans and vegetarians. We had a full English breakfast that came with perfect hot buttered white toast (I see brown is available too), the best we’ve ever had at a cafe. Amazing. We’ll be coming back here next time we’re in London!

We wanted to find a casual place for my son (and everyone else) to have an English breakfast and this was the perfect place. The English breakfast was thoroughly enjoyed and there is a vegetarian option also. The English breakfast is probably the best meal to go with since one of our party tried a simple breakfast sandwich which was ok, but, not as fulfilling as the English breakfast.

Cafe de Fred is one of my all-time favorite restaurants and that isn't something I say lightly. An absolute MUST when I visit London. I first encountered the cafe about two years ago; I was tired, hungry, and looking for a place to sit and regroup. I was expecting a faux French cafe with sub-par food based on the name. The restaurant does have some classic French items on the menu, but what is forever etched in my mind is the epic English Breakfast. Truly, it's the stuff dreams are made of. Fred's English Breakfast is exactly what it should be - unpretentious, hearty, and warms the soul. I have eaten there several times and each time, I have noticed that working-class Londoners are enjoying their breakfast along with me. You really can't ask for a better review than that. Another menu item of note is their flat white. We had ours made by a German waitress at each visit. I cannot attest to coffee made by anyone else but if she is still there, seek her out. Her flat white is worth a tube ride across town. Seriously. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path and by American standards, is a bit of a "hole in the wall". Not a bad thing, though. Waitstaff is great and Fred has been ever-present at all of our visits. I have considered posting a review for some time, but have always decided against it because I want it to stay small and intimate, a place I can always walk into and find a table. I have now decided that I would rather it become popular and overcrowded than shut down. Even if there is a line outside the door at my next visit, it will be worth the wait. I cannot attest to any other items on the menu, as I have only had the English Breakfast. Why would you order anything else when you've found perfection?

I was lucky enough to be visiting London a few weeks ago for business reasons. On Saturday morning, my husband and I were on our way to the London Olympia to take part in a large 2 day event. We did not have time for a relaxed breakfast at our hotel, so we decided to find somewhere to grab a breakfast roll.After checking the 'Around Me' app on our phone, we spotted the Cafe de Fred, and so decided to go there. I am so glad we did. It was early (before 9am) and the cafe was warm and cosy looking. We were greeted by Fred (?) and shown the menu, and and it was no problem to ask questions about vegan & vegetarian options.We did not have to wait long, when we were presented with 2 large breakfast sandwiches, and 2 cups of tea. It all cost less than £7.50 (we were expecting crazy London prices). It was a beautiful crisp morning, so took our hot goods to the nearby Holland Park and enjoyed our breakfast al fresco.I would recommend this cafe based on the friendly, fast & professional way were were treated. We would have loved to have been able to sit in & order the full veggie/vegan breakfast, but it was not possible due to our busy day. Other meaty options were available!Overall, it was a great start to our day. Thank you.

I came in here with my elderly Father and ordered an omelette with salad for myself and poached egg (s) on toast for my Father with is his staple food when we are out. The omelette was a little on the small side compared to other cafes but was excellent with plenty of filling and the salad was fresh and nicely dressed and served with 2 slices of toast. At £6 I thought the omelette was a little expensive but this is not a cheap area so fair enough. What I was surprised about was the poached egg. In every other café I can think of you get 2 poached eggs on 2 toast. Here my Father just got 1 poached egg on 1 slice of ordinary cheap white bread - such a small portion that I passed over some of my omelette. What amazed me that the cost of this one small poached egg on 1 slice of toast was £4.50!! I queried this with the owner who very firmly but politely explained that this is a very pricey area. This may be the case but no more pricey than say South Kensington or Fitzrovia where you can get similar food far more cheaply. Even here you can get a Full English Breakfast with a hot drink for £5.50 - £6 so I did feel just a bit ripped off which is a shame as in other respects this is a very nice café and unique as far as I know in this area.

Fred's all day veggie breakfast is my secret weapon hangover cure - eggs (scrambled in my case), beans, two toast, veggie sausage (could use a better type if there's one criticism), potato cake but what sets it apart are using fresh mushrooms and tomato not tinned and the large slice.of avocado which is a nice and refreshing touch. Not greasy but not worthy either. Just what the doctor ordered. Automatically provided a separate saucer for removal of teabag and a little jug for the milk, all smilingly served by the lovely Fred (at least in my mind this is Fred!). Free WiFi too. For Kensington, a traditional friendly gem.

We too stumbled upon this cafe looking for a late breakfast. Breakfast was served hot, it was value for money and a lot of the food was 'home' cooked which was a delight to see. Atmosphere and staff was lovely and the coffee was amazing!! I really recommend this place

Decided to try this cafe after hearing some guys in our work lift mention it. Opposite one of the entrances of Holland Park, it is not mire than a 10 minute walk from High Street Kensington tube station.I have been there twice this week now, having a different sandwich each day: Coronation Chicken and next day, Chicken and Bacon. Both sandwiches were very nice with lots of filling and it made a real difference to have a freshly made sandwich in Kensington. I have also tried their Caramel shortbread and a vanilla latte, which were also very good.Highly recommend to those looking for a local cafe, that is not too pricy and where you feel like a wanted customer - very hard to find around here where you get a lot of chains or over priced eateries.

So glad I stumbled upon this place, the atmosphere was so pleasant it made me feel immediately at home. On top of that they have my favourite tea - Moroccan mint tea -which for some reason is hard to find in cafe's in London.

As we missed the usual lunch time thanks to the London tube, we were happy to find this place on a rainy afternoon. Service was great at the exception of the advice she gave us to order the daily special : the cottage pie. The pie was good but the side vegetables like frozen overcooked food. On the opposite the Fred's breakfast was a perfect English breakfast with everything tasty and served with nicely buttered toast! I nearly wanted to miss our hotel breakfast to go to Fred again!

had an excellent fish pie - always watch the specials. Rare to get a good home made fish pie in a small cafe like this - or in most other places. Warm welcome, newspapers, loo and a great map of the world on the wall.

The bacon is something to die for! Amazing coffee as well. Very friendly staff as well and they catered for our low carb high fat diet.

We were greeted warmly upon our arrival and felt very welcome right away. The breakfast was delicious - the black pudding and sausage both being very flavoursome. Coffee was very good too. The value for money and all-round friendly and welcoming host means I cannot recommend this place highly enough! If we are back in the area again we will most definitely pay another visit.

Di passaggio su High Street Kensignton, abbiamo deciso di provare questo Cafè per colazione; veniamo accolti da un sempre sorridente proprietario, che ci porta il menù al tavolo. Decidiamo per una colazione continentale (un ottimo pan au chocolat, toast, prosciutto e formaggio, marmellate artigianali, burro, cappuccino) e per una colazione inglese (salsiccia, pancetta, fagioli, funghi, toast, uova); ottime entrambe, ed entrambe per poco di di 5 pounds ciascuna.Assolutamente consigliato.

This wonderful cafe is located right around the corner from my home and office. I never gave it a try since it's very small and there's always a lot of people. I have only had breakfast for which I had an omelette and my colleague had some poached egg dish on toast. Fred actually does all the cooking, serving, etc...very warm and friendly place!

I've been a regular customer of Fred's for 4 years now. Despite moving around to live in different areas in London, I keep coming back to Earl's Court to eat here as I haven't managed to find such a quality café elsewhere. The English Breakfast is arguably one of the best in London and the value for money is great, especially with the free Wifi. The best thing about this place though is how genuine it is. Unlike the Starbucks' and all the other vapid chains in London, you're not treated as a number here, but as a person, and that makes all the difference in the world!

Stopped for a quick lunch, service was efficient, however staff are probably encouraged to turn customers over quickly.Luke warm cans of Diet coke at £2.20 each, 2 Cheese and Ham toasties (which were tasteless) and thank you for £21.....Avoid if at all possible, unless desperate....

The perfect find when we were fresh from the airport at 7:00am and needing an omelet and a cup of coffee. Fred's is clean and the breakfast is good. They also do smoothies and fresh orange juice.

Nice friendly staff I had a Latè and bacon sandwich, Latè was lovely just perfect, bacon sandwich was ok but could of cut the bacon just to stop it coming out in 1 bite. Am I being a bit fussy maybe but it a little thing that would make it a 5 star review.

I came here more than a year ago and was disappointed with my sandwich so this time had an omlette with onions and mushrooms served with a hash brown and toast.The omlette was excellent quality although the hash brown was rather small and probably from frozen. They do a decent pot of tea here as well. Service is friendly and efficient. One star deducted as this pace is pricey.

Traditional unpretentious English street cafe, stopped for a quick lunch of salad and jacket potato. Nice, fresh food, friendly service and reasonably priced. Looked like a good selection of other menu items, will try another time.

Staying in the Premier Inn up the road and not wanting to paying for their underwhelming breakfast, set off up the road and discovered this nice little cafe. Great choice of freshly cooked breakfasts on offer and the freshly squeezed orange juice was lovely. Looked like they had a fine lunch selection too. Judging by the friendly exchanges of the owner with the locals who passed by, this is clearly a well respected eatery locally and I can see why.

Fred's is home from home. It's the only place to start the day. Food prepared to my high standard, with a welcome worthy of family. They have to kick me out to get me to go!I particularly recommend the vegetarian sausages. Enjoy.

Vine con un grupo de chicas para el Supa dupa Fly noche y todos lo pasamos de maravilla. El lugar es un gran lugar y bastante grandes, tienen dos habitaciones, además de una zona de arriba, así que había un buen ambiente agradable y nadie estaba atestada, que quizás podría haber hecho con conmutación en el aire acondicionado!Mi único problema es que las bebidas eran bastante caros, los camareros quería £10 por una habitación individual y Grifo monomando de espíritu - ¿Por qué están cobrando los precios de Mayfair cuando están en el borde de Ladbroke Grove! Estoy más que dispuesto a pagar este evento y lugar donde los dictados, pero no creo que este fue el caso aquí. Supa Dupa Fly hacer noches en los lugares más bonitos de West End, donde las bebidas son la mitad de precio.El personal es muy amable y dulce seguridad pero cortés, el personal del bar es amable y optimista, y el personal es servicial y atento, mesa.En general, tuve una gran noche.

We both had the pie & mash bowl with 1/2 beef gravy & 1/2 “liquor” (a greenish gravy) & we loved it. The owner was very personable and proud of the reputation she’s built over the decades. It was the best local fare we had in London and also the most affordable meal during our stay. But bring CASH. No cards are accepted.

Me gustó mucho este restaurante. La decoración no es extraordinaria pero la comida si lo es. Me encantó la amabilidad del Maitre y de las camareras. Siempre disponibles y con una sonrisa en la cara. Ese día opté por un plato sencillo. Un rib-eye steak y fue uno de los mejores que he comido nunca. Recomendable
