Market Cafe in Islington

We were staying at a 5 star hotel just down the road but the the breakfast was luke-warm and limited on choice so we decided to find somewhere open on a Sunday morning so took a walk to this cafe as it had quite a good rating on a swell known search engine . The person serving was doing lots of cleaning which inspired confidence in us that this would be an okay place to eat.The vegetarian breakfast that we both had was both hot and tasty and it was the first time I have had bubble and squeak for breakfast since childhood days. Very nice and good value for money. One little criticism, the woman serving and the man doing the cooking were very polite but never smiled once, admittedly it was a very grey day weatherwise. To be greeted with a smile makes so much difference and in my experience would attract more customers. But overall very nice and thank you both.

Después de un comienzo muy temprano, se necesitó un desayuno antes de abordar una exposición en el Barbican. Caminé por esta pequeña calle donde varios puestos de comida de la calle estaban preparando y llevando a cabo su preparación de la cocina, pero estaban muy lejos de estar listos para servir. Vimos a un par de policías sentados afuera de esta pequeña cuchara grasienta y sin pretensiones, y decidimos regalarla. Puedes elegir entre una larga lista de opciones de desayuno, y tuve la más simple: # 1 un par de lonchas, una salchicha grande y un huevo frito. Vino con dos rebanadas de pan tostado y una bebida caliente. La calidad era buena, y aunque las salchichas pesadas en cereales estaban libres de cartílago. No había ningún precio en el tablero, por lo que me sorprendió gratamente encontrar que el costo era 4. 30. Como cucharas grasientas, sentí que había tenido una ganga, gracias a un servicio rápido y eficiente.

El desayuno inglés completo parecía increíble, ojalá hubiera tenido más tiempo para probar. Café menos de £1. 50! ! ! ! Para un tamaño de taza.

Piccolo e semplice locale vicino alla metro Old Street che serve in maniera veloce ottimi piatti per chi necessità di consumare il pasto in tempi rapidi. Prezzi onesti e personale cortese. Un particolare grazie alla bella e sorridente Stefy. Consigliato!

Aquí siempre ofrece una excelente comida y no teme las pociones con mucha variedad, tiene asientos fuera. La comida siempre está cocinada como queremos. Si quieres una pinta con tu desayuno también puedes. El personal siempre es atento y amigable. Lugar realmente encantador para comer en el centro de Londres.

1st visit to this cafe. Clean pleasant cafe, staff polite and friendly. Went for a set breakfast. Food was not dripping in fat and grease. Given a good size portion at a fare price. Will visit again

Great service and a decent menu choice. Efficient staff with good price. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Not quite a restaurant not quite a transport cafe but you know me and the guys are really fond of this place. So the food is pretty much the bog standard cafe menu but you have a feeling the sausages are not the lowest common denominator ( pig trotters, ears, gristle etc) but just slightly above that , we politely call them catering sausages. Eggs are always nicely done, copious amounts of beans and freshly made toast to go with your brekkie. Staff very friendly and polite and it feels a bit like home from home, decor is lovely with exposed bricks you see in trendy modern restaurants. In the summer lovely outdoor area to soak up the atmosphere in the market. Not sure why they have stacks of red and white wine but does prove an interesting talking point. make sure you stick to the set menus as they are best value. So not the place you take somebody on a date ( unless your a filthy cheapskate ) but perfect for Friday breakfast

I've been there for a couple of times with some friends to have breakfast. The quality of the food is really good. Large portions and very affordable prices! The area around the cafè is very nice as well :) And I have to say that the owner is a very nice person, always available and kind! I would recommend it to everyone!

Went on a Sunday the service and the food was great. Not very known street but a great atmosphere. Also the pricing was very cheap considering being in the city.

Visited in August 2016. Had a really great breakfast, loads of different options. Best bacon I have had in London, no fat, lean, back rashers that I could have eaten all day. Service was polite and quick, all for about a fiver, would go back there anytime. Thank you Market Cafe for getting me off to a great start for my day in London.

Went here for breakfast while visiting family, order was taken quickly but we had to wait a long time for food to arrive, when it did arrive we only got three of the four breakfasts we ordered, when we said to staff we where still waiting for one more breakfast and also the toast to arrive we where apologised to and was told it would just be coming, all three breakfasts was finished before the fourth one arrived, we still didn't get the toast that is meant to come With breakfast, when we went to pay for the breakfast we were not offered any discount for the time or order was delayed.

Visited this cafe for a quick lunch, initial order was taken fast as was payment. After 20mins of waiting I was asked to order again as they had forgot to write it down and pass it to the kitchen despite taking my money. Asked for a refund and crossed the road where I was served the same food faster and cheaper.

This is a great little place if you are after a quick basic cheap meal! I had a jacket potato and cheese on toast (on two separate occasions) both were just as advertised, value for money!

Hemos probado los desayunos de varios locales de la zona y puede que este sea el más normal. Cafe no muy bueno y no queremos imaginarnos la cocina...

A firm favourite for great quality breakfasts when staying in the area. We always go for the bacon egg type options but they have a huge range of other breakfast / lunch / dinner options. A great honest clean and well priced café.

After a visit to Whitecross Street's food market you may well not need any other sustenance but the outdoor seating area is great for a stop with decent coffee or the range of smoothies; beware though, it's often busy. Inside is clean and bright while...
