Ickenham Cafe in Hillingdon

A nice breakfast, poached eggs on toast with bubble and black pudding.

Good English breakfast with quite few varieties and staff seems quite friendly

Walking through Ickenham village today in our lunchtime (4/05) just checking out the eateries Whilst on my lunch . Saw this Cafe and we decided to walk in and check it out. Best thing is they do have Dcaf Tea which is all I can drink . Only thing I’ll do next time is to ask the girl To put milk in a small pot For me rather than putting it tea cup .I like to strong tea. So I ordered a tea and a sausage in a bun . Which was reasonably priced . It was empty so the service was quick . Good fast Service which is what we needed as we had limited lunch hour . The sausage on bun was nice. Sausage was flavoursome . My friend didn’t eat but we decided that as there’s so much variety on the menu. We will definitely be back tomorrow. They had nice relaxing back ground music on which was quite relaxing , unlike some places the blast music whilst you’re Trying to talk .

I would never eat out if here again. 2 days in row I tried it as I was working in the area and though maybe just what I had the first day the place is very very clean but the food is vile and very over priced. You go to 5 guys expect to pay a lot but not the burgers out of there that are rizla thin an taste vile the eggs were not cooked and looked like they just hatched. Honestly worst cafe I've ever been to

Nice friendly staff, good food, nice place for a milkshake on a hot day (although a bit on the pricy side).

Hidden gem this is. Proper café with a traditional menu and very friendly staff. Had a mega breakfast as per photo. Will visit again!

Food was good but it was over 40 minutes before we got our breakfast and 25 minutes before we got our coffee. It was however very busy and the waiter did apologise for the delay

Excellent for a Sunday brunch. Highly recommend.

Clean, tidy and food is delicious. Highly recommend.

The A40 was rammed so pulled off to find a cafe & came across Ickenham cafe , service was fast & friendly the food was typical cafe fair , price is average for cafes inside the M25 , if I was in the area I would eat there again

Good food cooked fresh, friendly and efficient

Popped in for breakfast never been before would go again, lovely staff

We were made to feel very welcome on entering the cafe . It was busy but there were still some tables spare. All the spare tables were clean A very pleasant young girl came and took our order . We all chose make your own breakfast and we were all very pleased with our choice. Everything was cooked to order, I had toast, bacon , egg and tinned tomatoes. The egg was superb . Everything was very tasty and quality products were used . Super service, would definitely recommended and we will go back when we are next in the area

Love this place. Superb service and superb food

Normally a really great cafe...Sat and waited fir 15 minutes to order a couple came in after us and got served before us...disappointed is a understatement

Overpriced for very average food and coffee Don't understand why some establishments push there prices to the max.. it's just a cafe. Won't be returning.

Enjoy going to this lovely cafe for brunch. Great menu selection! Cannot recommend enough. Support your local family businesses!

Staff really friendly. Very clean and good value for money

Great coffee nice food and friendly guys.

The guys and gals here are just delightful. Good food at reasonable prices, lovely place for a meal. Breakfasts (loads of different options) are particularly good. Great café 😁

Good location and great food selection. Service was very friendly (dog friendly too). Very accommodating. We had the omelette and it was tasty!!

Been in here twice this week, and have to say it’s so overpriced it’s not worth it. £12.50 for a very average breakfast. Went a few doors up to Moons and got a better breakfast for under half the price. Soggy chips, soggy toast. Beans were good!

Decent cafe. Staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Omelettes are lovely as are the salads that come with. Decent portions and the food is presented nicely on the plate too. It's comfortable to sit in and family friendly.

Don't listen to the haters and the one visit wonders... this cafe does a great breakfast, great burgers and the choice for lunches etc is great.... the staff are friendly,, the owner attentive and place is very clean!

Great service really nice staff was really impressed with the food service was very fast considering there were 5 of us ordering

The best freaking hamburguer i have had so far in england. No words can describe how awesome it tasted 😍😍😍😍😍😍

I ordered a coffee milkshake and a chicken panini, what came was a weak milkshake and a panini that was half the size of what they advertise, half the panini tastes nice but couldn't enjoy the other small half due to balsamic vinegar dripping off it, chef made good on the meat however I'm still disappointed

Great portions. Nice good. Clean (clean loos). Friendly. Easy parking.

Lovely food and lovely service...and great prices.would go again..

On the numerous occasions that we have eaten in this delightful cafe my wife & myself have found the food excellent. The staff are ALL a real delight & so friendly. Although we live in the Midlands now we will always return to the cafe on our spasmodic journeys back to the Ruislip areas

Good food, good friendly staff.

Great local cafe. All your usual stuff. They also do a nice Sheesh Kebab

I came here today for lunch with my mum, sister and two young children. I live in the area and quite often come here to eat with my partner and children and we always really enjoy it and the chef usually working in there is so friendly and professional. However, I had the most horrendous experience today I have ever had in a cafe before! There was a different chef who looked a bit overwhelmed and the food was quite slow. All of the meals came out apart from mine - we gave it 5 minutes and asked and they said it was being cooked and would be out soon. Another 10 minutes pass and lots of takeaway orders are being cooked and given out but still no sign of mine. Then a delievery driver came in and the woman working there shoves the bag at him and tells him to take it. He obviously didn't have very good English and was unsure if there was more for him to take and the waitress starts shouting abuse at him in front of the whole cafe - I was utterly shocked as I have previously worked as a waitress and my partner is a manager in a restaurant and this is not something you would expect in a cafe/restaurant. At this point all of our table had finished their meals and I STILL hadn't got mine - my mum went up to ask the waitress where it was and she very rudely said ''well I'm not cooking it am I!' - no apology or anything. Then she starts having an argument with the chef and he had told her to calm down and she shouted 'stop f***ing telling me to calm down, I'm not going to calm down' and this was in front of my two young children!!!! I finally got my meal after my whole table had finished and at this point my children were restless and wanted to leave. The other younger girl who was working brought it to the table and gave us an insincere 'sorry' and when my mum said well that's not really good enough she replied with 'well I didn't cook it did I''. Honestly the staff in there today were so unbelievably rude and unprofessional - I've never had an experience quite like it. There were other customers we spoke to in there that absolutely agreed the service was terrible and the staff were rude. Such a shame as we love coming here but certainly won't be again!

This is a great local cafe. Fast service tasty cage food. Be there again very soon

Lovely food Clen and good customer service

I remember when the previous owner was still running this cafe. It was a good place to eat and relax. The place was clean and the team was kind. The current waitresses are rude, miserable and xenophobic. I personally will not eat in again as I was made to feel awful.

Cheap and cheerful cafe. Good WiFi, friendly staff, clean, and relaxing background jazz music.

Ickenham cafe is a very unhygienic place to go to eat, someone who has worked there suck as me would like to tell you somethings which Ickenham cafe does which I did not agree with and is the reason I left. fist of all cross contamination secondly no gloves third don't care about how clean plates are, and grills and stuff they use barely get cleaned

a great place to go for a quick great breakfast. service is great and friendly will visit again and tell everyone about this place

Excellent food but very expensive for

Went their one time a few days after moving into my new home, decided to checkout the places down the village, there were ‘positive’ reviews from people that had been there before seemed to be on the bright side anyway, on a Friday afternoon I decided to check the place out, it was open for another hour and a half but they said “it’s too late for food” it was 4:00pm. Second time I went there about a year later in the summer and ordered a drink, pleasantly welcomed with a random kid drinking my drink on the way to giving me my drink like seriously, SOMEONE GET YOUR CHILD, I just stood up and left, If you go there you should probably go and check for any illness at the hospital, also inside it had a bit of a classroom feel just didn’t feel like a restaurant or coffee shop whatever that place is

My kids love coming here for ice cream and they're always friendly:)

Very reasonably priced breakfast which was much needed after a hard Sunday morning run. Staff are very attentive and it was nice sitting on the picnic tables in the summer sun. Watching the Ickenham world go by

My favourite cafe. Excellent food

Popped in for a cup of tea and a bit of cake in the afternoon as I was meeting a friend. I thought the place was shut as it was so dark! Walked into a blurring television on the wall and a very coldly set out arrangement of table and chairs. Order the cup of tea and a piece of cherry pie. A very milky cup of tea arrived would have expected the milk on the side small piece of cherry pie that was microwaved and smelt awful, tasted just as bad and was £4! A Friend joined me a short while after and we were chatting. A few minutes later one of the guys in the cafe came up and turned the television up! we couldn't even hear ourselves speak! Appalling place and only went in there as I wanted to give independent cafes a chance over Costa but wished I had gone to Costa now! It really isn't that difficult@

Popped in for coffee and a snack this Sunday . Great food , great prices and great staff , what more can I say . Wide varieties of food on the menu , had a lovely late breakfast and we were made most welcome !

Great place for an early morning coffee

Good place to drop into for a coffee especially if, like me, you prefer to use independents rather than chansons. There’s lots of choice, good service and ok food but avoid like the plague on a Friday afternoon. It’s full of parents treating their little ones after school..... and letting them run riot using the place as a playground. It’s great that it’s kid friendly but running around when there’s hot food and drink being carried is dangerous and, surely, using the toilet as a play area is unhygienic, especially when they’re eating with their hands! The place echoes at the best of times so the noise is appalling!

I have been coming regularly to the Ickenham Cafe for several years, and it has become my favourite unpretentious, reasonably priced, friendly cafe of choice compared to several others in the area. Without naming the rivals, here are some of the reasons that have put me off the others ((N.B. NONE of these apply to The Ickenham Cafe)(1) At best, a grunt of acknowledgement from the aloof and grumpy owner, even after many visits. (2) A greasy smell that pervades the premises. (3) Occasional double charging when paying in groups (4) Ear-punishingly squeaky chairs scraping on hard floors (5) A long, long wait for waitress service ending with lukewarm drinks. (6) Too many pushchairs in a small space making it impossible to move or hold a conversation without shouting. (7) Foul tasting green smoothies.NONE of these applies to the really rather pleasant Ickenham Cafe whose only minor sin is that when you have a certain drink every day for some weeks, they will automatically bring it to your table without checking if you do want that drink today! But hastily and politely corrected with a smile!

I have visited this Cafe a few times. It is well decorated with a modern feel. There is a wall mounted TV to provide some background noise too. Staff are always pleasant and friendly. Food comes in generous portions. There are two tables for outside seating at the front of the premises. For kids they have a small table with a wooden bead rollercoaster (pre school toy) on it to keep them occupied should they want to stretch their legs. They also provide a kids menu, milkshakes and ice-cream. I have given this a 4 instead of a 5, as even though you get generous portions and it tastes fine, I believe this place is slightly pricy. It could charge such prices if more of the dishes were made on the premises rather than being out of packets.

Great food .. good friendly staff clean cafe!!!

Varied menu and reasonable prices. Kids play area with low chairs and kids table.

Come here quite a bit for breakfast business meetings. Service always good and food always spot on. Covered out door seating is a nice little added touch.

Best breakfast/brunch experience. Good food, good service & courteous staff. Will visit regulary to try other dishs & invite friends for eating there.

Nice place... maybe a tad expensive, but not as rough as a cheaper greasy spoon.

Good food, good price ' fast service

I couldn't recommend this coffee shop enough .They were so accommodating and welcoming .The service was really good and price extremely reasonable.We are definitely going back!

Friendly prompt efficient customer service, delicious big filling breakfasts, and very good value for money, great way to start the day

Desperate for a late lunch and found this when turning off A40. Had two light lunches with lovely fresh salads, quickly and very nicely served. Well recommended and able to park outside which was a bonus.

Decided to stop here for a cup of tea and sausage sandwich. The tea was horrible and the service very slow and a bit pricey

Im sure I've reviewed before. Excellent service, food and choices. Love it here. Also very reasonable prices

Good quality food and friendly service. Excellent espresso!

Good coffee and varied menu. If you want eggs Benedict, or a big 'builders breakfast' , through to a healthy lunch or hearty early tea - this is the place to be. All the food is fresh cooked, they have a great variety. Very child friendly.

Fast service - great milkshakes on a hot day for the kids. Clean in side and the menu selection was good.

Everything you would expect from a cafe the food is... well it's sausages bacon and eggs. It would be very hard to go wrong there. The prices are a little more than you would expect and a minimum spend of £7 on visa is a bit high if you are only ordering for one person.

Went to this nicely spaced out cafe, it was hot outside but good temperature inside.

We absolutely love this coffee shop, it's clean and the food is very good. However I have to agree with another reviewer - one of the waitresses has just given me the evil look, she was very rude. Having said that, we will still come back times and times again 😊 So five stars for everything apart from this rude waitress...

My son and I stopped off for a quick lunch on the way to Wembley. Cannot emphasise that quick was the appropriate word!

Loved the atmosphere in there! The food is always fresh and tasty. Also, I was really pleased with a little children's corner, my two year old could not have been happier! Definitely recommend.

The 2 female staff are the rudest people I have ever seen. AVOID!! Another customer asked if his child could use the toilet and he was visibly shocked by her curt manner. I told the chef about the miserable attitude and he agreed. Shame really because the food is okay.
