Hamlet Cafe in Islington

Have been past this cafe for months but never had the chance to go in due to the parking problems around the area, but it seems a few more parking spaces have popped up ...so i managed to finely .park ...... this cafe is brilliant the staff are very nice and polite the breakfast are named after Shakespeare and hamlet .. well worth a 5☆ rating I had the Shakespeare breakfast and toast plus coffee which was all included in the cost of the breakfast... very good at £7. Will definitely go back to this cafe .......many thanks to all in the Hamlet cafe

I have eaten here many times. The food is always delicious. A great menu to choose from. The ambience is relaxed and decor is lovely. The waiting staff and chefs are really friendly and very accommodating. It is kept clean and tidy. Always busy...

I would call this a local cafe . Bus stop is right outside on busy Hornsey road . There is seating outside If you don’t mind the noise of traffic . Caters for all , coffees , beers , light bites and blow out meals . I have done them all and can recommend . Prices and service can’t be faulted .

Hamlet is my local cafe and has always been great value. However since lockdown a lot of thought has been put into a new menu with healthy options at great prices as well as an evening menu. The kebabs here are beautifully grilled and the classic English breakfast options are still great value. Will always be my first choice in this area. Staff are really friendly and it’s well worth a visit.

I've eaten here half-a-dozen times and it's good. The meat's grilled just right, the bread's soft, the coffee's great. What's not to like? Friendly staff, came out fat and happy. It's your basic good old-fashioned kebab style cafe and you get what you expect and... a little more... as they care. It is what it is, and that's great.

Came here for a breakfast and left with a full stomach and feeling satisfied. Mega breakfast was superb, cappuccino amazing and fresh orange juice was fantastic and service was perfect. Definitely recommend.

Delicious brunch, prompt and friendly service, nice atmosphere. This cafe is a real treat. Breakfasts and dinners here are also good (and generous), and the presentation is beautiful.

I feel like I could spend a day here and have the time of my life. From breakfasts to cocktails to kebabs and steak dinners and so much passion in every dish they serve. Has to be experienced to really get a grasp of how good it is. I don't review often but this cafe is a true hidden gem

The food is fresh and really tasty - nothing too much trouble. Yoggi & Rose really made us feel welcome - & safe - when we celebrated our Mums 87th Birthday. She is a wheelchair user and loves the food there as well as the staff.

I eat here at least 2-3 times a week! is my lunch daily and food is always fresh and tastyyyyyyy. The staff are amazing and more like family now!! Always so warm and the most cleanest cafe in Islington. I work locally and have lunch meetings there too presentation is always 10.10. Lots of love!! Victoria x

Great food, amazing staff. Best coffee around! Regular enjoy excellent food and friendly service. I’d highly recommend it

This is the 3rd time I’ve eaten here and I must say staff were very helpful as I’m a vegan (or fussy in my mums opinion) I was offered soya , oat or almond milk for my coffee, and exchanges on my Fry up, the staff were friendly and I look forward to visiting again next time I’m in London

I visited Hamlet cafe today for some lunch, I was pleasantly surprised with the good quality food unlike all other cafes in and around this area. The food was really good and so was the service

Great, simple, well priced food. Friendly service and the owner is a smashing bloke. Shame the football didn't match it!!

Come here as often as possible en route to Arsenal. The owner is great and really attentive and they are always looking out to improve things. Food is very well priced and I love that is a true cafe expereicne, but you can also get soya milk on the side if you are partial to that kind of thing.

Wasn't happy last few times terrible omelette un cooked chips bitter coffee don't give u a time to pick food going to give it a miss

This used to be a great place to go for a wonderful English breakfast or lunch experience in London. The iconic ‘Full English’ is sadly making room for yogurt avec granola, seeded artisan toast with kale infused scrambled eggs and other such pretentious nonsense. Yet...

Pleasant space, quick friendly service and good value. Lot of ? students and locals munching at their laptops.

Waiting 40 minutes for fish and chips, extremely inconvenient when you've got a hour for lunch. When the food finally arrived the chips were cold and the fish did not taste fresh at all. When it came to paying for the meal lucky I checked...

Unhygienic terrible service, the staff did not look happy at all. I wouldn't recommend at all. Thanks

Just wondering how much of a bad person the owner is? He treats his staff like peasants. They were lovely girls, in the end they couldnt handle his stress and just left in the middle of a busy time. Seriously want to know why the...

Great place. Very good service and very reasonable price. A full English with tea and toast for a fiver! The range of food is incredible, they have almost everything, from Sunday roast, fish and chips, ice cream, breakfasts, all sorts! Can't comment on the quality...

I really enjoy this cafe. The staff are super nice and the food is really good and good value. Cafe gets a mix of ppl from local builders to students. I love this cafe!/

Hamlet Café in Hornsey Road has a good local reputation for a place to go to for any time of day. Staff are really friendly and attentive. The food is always cooked to high standard and the coffee is bad either.

Family, friends and on your own, Hamlet cafe is the spot to go to for any time of day. Staff are super friendly and attentive. The food is always cooked to high standard and served to you quickly, even on busy weekends. You'll always find...

Hamlet is always well worth going to. Great food and really lovely staff. I never had a bad meal there. It is resonable priced. There is seating inside and outside. Really like it there.

I have been coming to Hamlet for many years. This is all you can want from a local cafe. The owner Viktor believes in good food at reasonable prices with friendly service. It's not the cheapest but food is of a good quality. I have...

Had a lovely lunch at the the hamlet great service and friendly staff. Keep up the good work will definitely be back.

Not a bad place. Not posh by any means but the variety was good and the cooked breakfast tasted great so no issues there. Not the cheapest but I suppose it's London prices. Basic place, but quite large. Friendly staff and it has kids options...

Great food, low prices and lovely staff - the Hamlet Cafe is one of the very best around here. They also do a decent stab at providing healthy options. One tip - take a look at the pictures on the walls. There are all sorts...

Come here fairly regularly as it's my local cafe. Large menu featuring all the food that you could possibly want from this type of place. I've always found the quality of the food excellent with large portions, Good breakfasts. Would have given it 5 stars,...

This cafe is just fantastic! We are regulars here and we cannot speak highly enough of the wonderfully hearty food served here. Super portion sizes for great value and very friendly staff. The perfect hangover cure, or for a lazy Sunday morning!

cant compalin about this place cut above yoru average greasy spoon and good service, very clean. nice big menu and the liver bacon and chips is fab, although make sure you tell them 'burnt' if you want it crispy - liver lovers will know what...

Hamlet is great for many reasons, not least the portrait they have of William Shakespeare having a coffee at the Hamlet Cafe. Yes, they really do have a portrait of Shakespeare! Surely it's worth a trip just for that? Hamlet does great cooked breakfasts with...

Was taken to this cafe for a quick bite to eat and was very nicely suprised. It has won an award for using fresh and healthy options in all the 'cafe' food. I had Spaghetti bolognaise (£5.90) and it was freshly cooked and delicious. My...

My student son and his friend took me to lunch, so I was a bit dubious, but very surprised. The inside is quite spacious and clean with a few tables outside. The menu has a great range of choices including vegetarian. The portions were also...
