Oval Cafe And Snack Bar in Lambeth

We needed a breakfast to set us up for the day, and were not disappointed. Great food and great value. The cafe has a lovely friendly vibe.

Nipped in here for breakfast before going to the cricket and was really pleased we did. Such good value for money, quick service and the food was great. Perfect!

Excellent cafe for breakfast. Owner takes the orders, cooks the food and serves! Very versitile! Very enjoyable! Also one of the few cafes in the area open on a sunday.

Enjoyed a delicious full English breakfast here. Bacon in particular is really good! Numerous breakfast options, can swap items out as I did with egg for another sausage. Helpful location, so close to Oval underground station. The two staff I saw were friendly and I would definitely visit again. Recommend highly

Came here for lunch at the cricket test match. Huge queue in the morning but tables available for lunch. Amazed cheap food for a fraction of the price of the Oval. Quick. Full menu. Friendly service. What more do you want? Had a full English. Lovely

Went to grab a snack this morning, despite cricket being on, there was one guy doing everything on his own, queue out of the door. After 15 minutes he announced sausage sandwich, I mistakenly thought it was mine, he said its not for you why did you take it I said because I was next, we had both ordered the same accept for sauce. Needs more staff and a course in manners.

Albeit it was not a sunny day, it was certainly mild enough to eat in Kennington Park and have an ‘outside breakfast’ with 3 work colleagues. Just across the other side of the road - A3 - lies this cafe. One can order food to takeout, which was perfect, for this scenario. I wasn’t massively hungry, but the dude working, very kindly did me a fried egg, some toast, mushrooms and tomatoes. Very pleasant indeed, and just the right amount. Two of our group opted for an impressively huge brekkie - sausage, egg, bacon, baked beans, mushrooms and chips. The last colleague, who had arrived, adorned alarmingly, in a shirt ‘so’ bright, that I could only describe it as being the colour of ‘dog-d*** red’ (and I did, indeed, point this out to him), opted for fried eggs and toast. 🐶 This place was well-maintained, clean and tidy. Service was good and fast. All the food was most enjoyable, and the prices are good 👍

Oval Cafe and Snack Bar IS OPEN again after the Lockdown! Takeaway only for now, but with Kennington Park opposite, perfect to grab some food and picnic

Just wandered around to this little place during lunch break. Absolutely brilliant. It’s only little there’s no loo but I had a cheese salad sandwich and a coke for £4 and it was just like I’d have made it at home. Salad fresh and crisp, cheese had taste and was in slices not that plastic grated nonsense and the salad cream was decent too. If the work in the area keeps up I imagine the owner and I will become fast friends!! I’d take a picture but I’ve finished...

Always enjoy a full English after a night out, but this place was next level. One man band, but the owner was hospitable and the food was scrumptious. Would highly recommend to everyone. Only downside was the only chocolate milkshake available was a yazoo. But this was made up for by freshly made bread for toast, as opposed to just Hovis.

Offers good food for a reasonable price. One of the most reasonable in the local area. Have been back multiple times.

always packed when cricket is on the staff is friendly and polite food is always out and cooked to order will be going there soon when cricket is back on at Oval

the cook is very friendly and helpful but the owner is a humpy person. always says do u want sauce and he keeps repeating it over and over again. gets busy when cricket is on. great food. never greasy like.other shops

£8.50 for a big brunch with cup of tea and four slices of toast - not bad value. Good food, obviously not gourmet, but quite palatable, filling and generally very satisfying. Large range of meals for all times of the day. Typically quite busy, sharp service and located right next to Oval Tube.

Always cooked to order and always fresh food. Gets packed when cricket is on at oval. So beware. To.men that run it are friendly and helpful.

Right next to oval tube station, welcome to the best cafe in the area. Great all day breakfasts, great burgers, even great bacon sandwiches to take away. Best cup of builders tea you'll ever get! All freshly cooked, all cooked to order with what you want or don't want. Staff very friendly . Can't think of anything bad to say about this place

Go here before we go cricket. Choice if food for everyone. Tea coffee juices and other drinks. Food cooked as ordered so it's very hot when you get it . Great people who work there.

Love the way they cook the food here. Clean and friendly people. Nothing to much trouble for them . Very busy when cricket on at oval.

Arrived early for the Cricket at the Oval, and next to the tube station is the Oval Café. Had plenty of choice on the menu, very clean, served quickly and the food was good and filling. £6 for a breakfast as opposed to £8.50 for a burger in the ground show good value. The restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. Would return

Simple food served very well. Not sure what else there is to say apart from the fact that it's all done with a friendly smile.

Go here a lot .place is clean and food is cooked as you order it. You can order from the menu or order what you want . Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend this cafe

This family-run café is next to Oval tube station and thus close to the international cricket ground. It does roaring trade during the cricket season and has a good menu which is behind the counter high up so is easy to read. there is a wide choice of ball day breakfast and sandwiches etc are made in front of you when ordered. The coffee is delightful, the staff although busy provide service with a smile and there are plenty of snacks and drinks to be purchased too. The prices for the capital are quite acceptable. I had a jacket potato and cheese which was quickly served and plied high with cheese so it served me well for my lunch-time fare. My only (small) complaint is that is a bit small, otherwise it would do even more trade!!!

Called in to the café with a friend prior to a meeting at The Oval - situated right next to the Oval underground station, I am sure it does a roaring trade in no-frills all-day breakfasts. The choice is good, straightforward and spelt out on the blackboard, all you could need and more. A very small place with tables squeezed in but this makes the welcome even better. Went for "number 5" breakfast which came with a huge portion of chips, tasty bacon, egg and sausage with mushrooms and tomato. Truly great feast, and worth a detour on the Victoria Line.

On a cold day, a welcome warm respite with a good value all-day breakfast. Breakfast No.5 plus a mug of tea is £7.20 + 20p for using a debit card. Good portions. Just the job.
