Cafe Express in Islington

Top notch. Perfect for breakfast and lunch. Great service. Great food. Will be back this time next year.

I was only in this place once, I stopped by for breakfast, bought a coffee and a cheeseburger, a place to get to know a typical cafeteria, the people who serve the best, the food very delicious and fresh and for a good price. Something to see in London that is not typical and touristy👍👍👍

I ate here every day for 3 months whilst working on site nearby. AMAZING CAFE. These guys will cook you anything you want from the biggest menu that i have ever seen anywhere at any time of the day, and make it with love. I worked down here recently from manchester and need to return.

PR-BOOK YOUR HOSPITAL APPOINTMENT BEFORE COMING HERE. Dirty tables, unclean floors. Don’t understand how people are casually eating here. Finally understand all the food poisoning reviews. Avoid this place, food may look far from good but boy if you do want to eat here just have a pre booked hospital appointment.

I enjoyed my visit here while having a full English breakfast. The crew greets people kindly and is very communicative. Regular customers are greeted by their name, which is impressive, given that I also work in an enterprise where customer service is a priority. Their service is really top notch, food was fresh and deliciously cooked 🥰🤤. The place is very presentable and the toilets were very clean. When I ordered my latte, I was very pleasantly surprised- made by a person with 30 years of experience in making coffee drinks! Thank you Google Maps for showing me the place.

Very quiet when we went in, but was 7am most mornings, staff are super friendly, remember your order after 2 times of going there, food was nice and rapid service! A nice place to grab a quick coffee and a bacon baguette

Busy cafe good food. Better than any of the other food outlets local

Honestly the best Cafe in london. A warm and welcoming atmosphere, everyone is so lovely and sweet, feels like being welcomed by family. And most importantly the food is incredible no matter what dish you get it’s packed with flavour and the portions are incredible. I come almost every week just to experience everything.

Omds it was so bad I went there yesterday with my friend it was my first time I ordered a tuna jacket potatoe and the waitress got me a chilli one when I said I didn’t order this she said rudely yes you did but she did take it away but then when she gave me order she slammed the plate down and before that while she took away the wrong order the manager was talking so rudely saying I didn’t say tuna jacket potato he was shouting, then one my jacket potato was burnt two it was off it had this old taste to it literally after I left in front of the shop I vomited it out I had the maddest stomach pains I went to A&E and guess what I got food poisoning

Great place Great food Great staff

Delicious lunch spot! Lovely staff. Excellent value. Highly recommend!!!

If you visit the area you have to go. Full breakfast with coffee with milk for £9 and between locals. Great treatment and generous quantity.

Excellent ! We feasted !! Very wide variety in the menus, typical English. Value for money more than satisfactory. Small regret about the fact that there are no croissant rolls.

Great little cafe with a wide selection of freshly cooked food. I had one of their breakfast selections and it was delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Love this cafe, always clean, friendly staff, lovely food and service, would highly recommend this cafe

Lovely cafe, great food, great service and good price 😊😊

The dishes are amazing. Quality food for affordable prices

Tasty breakfast very friendly staff

We had another awsome fry-up here on Sat on our way to Egg for a day rave, via the Star of Kings next door. We have been twice b4 & will always go now when we r in the area. The food is perfect, delicious, hot & the staff r always very helpful & friendly ...great prices too. Thank u 🥰

We ordered traditional English breakfast, finished the whole plate. Staff are very friendly.

It’s a nice, neat pleasant cafe with a huge variety of options on the menu. I had the veggie breakfast and really liked it. Especially the grilled halloumi cheese was yummy. Good filling breakfast served with a friendly warm hospitality in a clean environment for a good price.

One of the best Cafes I've ever eaten in, and I eat in alot of cafes whilst working away. You won't go wrong here

Great food, very good value, and superb service.

Our favorit eating place to eat in Kings Cross, we went every day and will come again... Really nice staff, delicious delicious food for cheap money and big portions and a lot to choose from

Nuestro bar de confianza. Bueno, bonito y barato. 👌🏽🫡

Just had my first experience here. Amazing customer service food is amazing will defo be coming back. I’ve been back bought a cherry pie. It is to die for 😍😍 the food and customer service is fantastic

Full English was nice and a good price

Great staff and great food have been going for years when i am in the area I will always pop in

Nice cafe serving a good array of foods from full English breakfasts and burgers , no complaints

Debated whether a 3 and or 3 and half. Certainly falls short of a 4 even though it was full and obviously popular when I visited it. Definitely lacks the bring-me-back ability. A three star it is then.

A fantastic cafe where there is a big selection of food available for everyone's individual taste, well worth a visit if in the area 👍👍👍

Posto semplice, frequentato da famiglie locali e lavoratori. Buona varietà di cibo. Servizio veloce, personale gentile ed efficiente.

Nice cafe with wide variety of hot food including breakfasts, that it opposite to Frame fitness center.

Clean and efficient cafe with friendly staff

They served up apple pie and custard at 9am on a Friday morning. Keep up the good work.

Was made a tuna sandwich here , no protection on hands either when making it . Have had food poisoning all week cos of eating here .

Se encuentra en una zona más obrera, pero tiene una amplia carta para desayunar y comer, con opciones veganas. El dueño encantador, avisando que no entendiamos bien, tuvo paciencia y nos atendió de maravilla. Recomendadisimo.

Excellent café, lovely service and first class food.

They do a great line in builders breakfasts at nice prices...

Great service, great affordable food and great staff! 3 G's!

Had the chicken curry rice and chips the bottom of the plate was swimming in water so hence the soggy chips happened twice to me now so avoid stick to your breakfast as the lasagne isn't great either

This cafe is a family run business, the staff and the food is second to none. I've been eating here nearly everyday for the last 12 months.... 5☆s all the way

Great chicken escalope ciabatta

Got cold old chips told its cold what they done threw it back to fryer and brought it back to me. Shame

Great traditional greasy spoon where you can get a substantial meal for around £7. Friendly staff, bright and clean decor and fast service ideal stop-off for a cuppa or Full English two minutes from Regents Canal.

Friendly welcoming staff, very busy at mid day but food is always tasty and fresh.

Cibo molto buono a prezzi modici

Perfecto ! Normal Price , verry good food and fresh.

Adored cult cafe for Camden office workers with a large menu of home cooked food, sandwiches and breakfasts. Pre-lockdown a regular Friday lunch office ritual. It gets busy and can take a while but it's worth it as it's cheap, filling and no nonsense food which has resisted the gentrification and sky high prices of Granary Square. Unpretentious and a proper old school cafe just a short walk from the canal.

Had the Turkish breakfast ... absolutely delicious and very reasonable price . 👍😋😋😋😋😋

Good breakfast and Very reasonably priced for central London

Only went in for a coffee, but staff friendly and coffee is good

Love it. It's very affordable and the food is tasty. If u work around King's Cross or granary Square area, it's one of the best places to have lunch.

Very reasonable prices. Breakfast are brilliant quality.

Low this place the staff are very friendly and the food is always great 👍👌

Very nice food great service and very good price 👍

Good portions foods abit pricey but good quality

The guy is not wearing either mask or gloves, touching food with the bare hands. Good food though.

I had chicken curry chips and rice last month and it was banging everytime i go food is spot on one of best cafe ive ever been

it's clean and friendly atmosphere. it's also a family friendly place. The food is decent and not too price.

No social distancing or other Covid-19 policies in place... good food at reasonable prices though. Staff very good.

Was charged for the wrong meal and found a very rude manager raising her voice. Was also refused my change from a 10 pound note and told to leave the cafe. Wouldn't recommend to anybody.

Good food. Good value. Great staff.

Is there any way i can get official email of this place

Best breakfasts to cheer you up

The service is quick, the food nourishing, everything cooked just right. These guys know their stuff.

Not bad café reasonable prices gets busy in the morning as there's a few building sites nearby, lunchtime too from about half past eleven.

Spacious, inexpensive caff. A welcome oasis of unpretentious normality on the edge of pricey aspirational Kings Cross. Comfortable, clean, warm and well-ventilated. Large menu with plenty of value-for-money set-meals. Food is served quickly and is plentiful and tasty. The waiting staff are friendly and helpful. The counter staff are efficient but slightly aloof. My favourite meal is cheese omelette and chips

Fantastic cafe great prices brilliant and friendly service great menu highly recommended

Great food homemade very good prices. Well worth a visit.

Nos encantó este sitio a mi familia y a mi. Un trato muy agradable de los camareros hacia nosotros, todo muy rápido y exquisito. Muy buen lugar para desayunar, almorzar, merendar o cenar. Recomiendo la tarta de zanahoria con custard sauce, todo un espectáculo.

One of the very few old-style and friendly London cafes left in the area, set back from York Way in a little crescent, and open from 5am to 6pm. Good for your typical English Breakfast and main meals, such as things like spag bol, and a range of puds. As it's reasonably priced for nicely cooked good sized portions you'll find locals and local and passing workmen frequenting this place, and some, like me, making a bee-line from further afield. While in the area you can take in Coal Drops Yard and the new Kings Cross development. Recommended.

Always friendly and the food is good.

Breakfast was average spoons is better n cheaper and can pay less than tenner by card

Good place to eat something friendly staff and very tasty food.

This place is clean and well managed, unpretentious cafe food with friendly service. Great value too.

Hay mucha gente en horas punta, por lo tanto el servicio no es muy bueno, pueden tardar hasta media hora para hacer tu pedido.

Pretty good quality greasy spoon that your average builder might frequent. Great range of menu options, and very efficient service.

Great selection of meals on offer, all deep fried to your preference.

Superb breakfast and portion size. Killer meal at this price and you even get a full glass of drink with ice! Sausage tastes better than it looks with crispy skin on the outside and grilled mushrooms are mouthwatering

It's a greasy spoon machine! Never had service that efficient in a cafe like this before. Price great. Quality great. Keep it up

Been around some time here now working in kings X. This is the best caff in the area! Plenty of tables to seat and fast great fresh food 😍😍😍friendly and helpfull staff working there. Defo i will be returning to eat there.

A real London legend this place. Huge portions of truly delicious, unpretentious food for a really reasonable price.

It's a very nice cafe staff are friendly food is basic

Good service, good food a bit busy but tasty

One of the old school, great greasy spoon with an outstanding menu and value for money

É bom sítio para se comer, paradas rápidas nada mais. O comer também é muito bem e não é muito caro
