Spiazzo Cafe in Southwark - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The Spiazzo Cafe had a great atmosphere and the baked goods were delicious. The entree's offered were fantastic too.

Friendly and helpful waitress which is not common in London! Reasonable prices and just a stones throw from Guys and The Shard! Would go again when near.

Very lively and busy at lunch time. Good value selection of food and wine. Staff are very cheerful and helpful

We visited here before I visit up the Shard. It was a great breakfast with very good service. The price of the breakfast was great so really pleased with this great find. Highly recommend a visit.

A nice little cafe! Everything was freshly made and was very tasty! Hopefully I will return at some point in the future! I had a toasted ham and cheese bagel. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice food and really fresh all the paninis were freshly made and always looked so appetising, on the downside I found it quite expensive to eat in rather than take out.

Descubrimos esta pequeña cafetería italiana maravillosa, por casualidad semana pasada, como ha sido entregado, en London Bridge, una especie de bono de descuento para enfrente del restaurante un MacDonalds. Esto último era muy lleno de gente y situado en un edificio de aspecto bastante desalentadora. No pudimos leer parecía destacó el menú en la pared y el personal. Spiazzos en contraste es un lugar animado y alegre lugar con un personal amable y una gran selección de comida excelente pinta de café. Todo lo que queríamos era el desayuno, que viene como un desayuno inglés completo con patatas fritas o croquetas de patata, dos rebanadas de pan y rositas realmente un buen café. Mi esposa tenía magdalenas con huevo y queso y un enorme vaso de zumo de naranja recién exprimido. Volvimos dos mañanas siguientes para el desayuno y nos recibieron con el mismo servicio y amabilidad es magnífico. Teniendo en cuenta su ubicación privilegiada al lado del Shard, Spiazzos es muy buena relación calidad-precio.

Estaba abarrotada, mesas demasiado cerca, sólo dos camareras, pero excelente comida y servicio nos permitió relajarnos durante media hora antes visitamos El Shard. Habiendo vivido en Italia durante un número de años me habló sobre la increíble selección de alimentos a la venta - desde la lasaña hasta pizza ciabbata fantásticamente lleno's - el pollo, tocino y aguacate fue uno de los mejores bocadillos, creo que me he comido! La encantadora camarera que nos cuidaron no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros, cuando vio que la taza de mi esposa de té era demasiado suaves como para ella, ella ofreció inmediatamente una taza de otra bolsa de té! Las pequeñas cosas que marcan la diferencia. Sí, hay un MacDonald al otro lado de la carretera y un Starbucks cerca, pero no vayas cerca de ellos, esta pequeña cafetería lo tiene todo. Bien hecho.

Llegamos temprano para la vista llamada así por un café y un aperitivo

Stopped in for a quick breakfast before going up into the Shard. Best eggs I've had. I think other places have used bad grease. Lots of people in and out so the locals like it too. Prices were good.

No me gusta críticas negativas, y me pregunto si el personal era tener un mal día, pero no me impresionó. Mi hijo y yo nos sentamos para un aperitivo después de visitar la Shard. Las primeras impresiones no eran buenas. La mesa estaba wonky, la comida en otras mesas no tenía un aspecto muy apetecible. Pero estábamos hambrientos y cansados así que esperamos. Una camarera estaba limpiando las mesas cerca y ignorando nosotros. Al final me las arreglé para coger el ojo y nos dio un menú. Varios minutos más tarde llegó a tomar nuestra orden: un par de sándwiches y una taza de té. Unos 20 minutos más tarde, el té parecía. Estaba en una taza, ya realizadas, con un montón de leche. Me dijo: "yo soy realmente lo siento, pero no me gusta mi té tan Milky Puede que haya que sirve por separado por favor?" La camarera (otro) roto: " ¿Por qué no usted decirme antes?" - en que punto I, me levanté y a la izquierda. Eso no es manera de tratar los clientes me temo.

Popped in here twice in one day, husband had a cooked breakfast and coffee. Tasty and filling he said & generous portions. Food very fresh and cooked well. Service very good, can get busy but always looked after and we didn't have to wait long for our food despite it being busy. Staff knew I'd been in for an op over at Guys earlier and were lovely when we popped back in so I could have a bite to eat. Varied menu, liqueur license too so a glass of something if you fancy it is possible. Will go there again definitely :) Welcoming atmosphere and all the staff friendly :)

Great coffee, breakfasts (from porridge and fruit through to full english) and terrific pastas and paninis for lunch. Love the mad owner and the waitress Katie is always on fine form! Whether eating-in for a meeting venue or taking away to the desk, it never lets me down on food or service. T

So pleased my brother dragged me away from Starbucks and into Spiazzo. The coffee was great, better than a few doors along, and had I more time I would have stayed for lunch. The folks were really friendly and looked after my rucksack that I had left over the back of my chair. It was comfortably busy and so much choice.

Just stopped by for a quick, we loved the coffee, and my slice of cake was delicious, recommended!!!

Met with two work colleagues for a working business breakfast. Top quality food at very good prices. Fantastic service - very friendly and efficient. A gem of a find just outside one of the exits from London Bridge station. Recommended.

We loved this cafe. I can't understand how anyone could have any critisism about this place. We were VERY impressed with the service the food and the prices. There were several workers from a nearby building site having the full English breakfast, we ordered the same, terrific value for money. We will certainly be back.

I work in front of this little cafe. At lunch time is always very crowded so i decided to give it a try even if the smell of food from the entrance was not properly appealing. Well, what i discovered is that the name is the only Italian thing in this place. The food is totally english style, with tons of garlic and weird combinations like spaghetti with cutlet and tomato. The service was awful, rude and disorganised. They didn't have half of the food shown in the menu. I've never been back again and never will do.

We recently attended Spiazzo Cafe after attending The Shard and we were amazed by the food, only pasta & Panini's sold but were all made fresh. Food was great & I would highly recommend visiting. We will be back, I think thats a good as a review as i can... Very reasonable considering the location and frequented by a lot of the Shard staff. Charming old cafe.

Love this place. Work in the hospital opposite and they do a great NHS staff deal that is more food and less cost than mcdonalds. High quality food and high quality service. Also lovely breakfast rolls and coffee!

Spiazzo is one of two places I adore in this area. And I am delighted to report that standards have been maintained. It is independent, buzzy, vibrant, and the owner and the staff are really good. Food remains gorgeous ( so much temptation). Fed up with Mcdonald's ?...Come here!!! Tired of Starbucks ( with their lack of stars and quite a few bucks}? ...come here!!! Here you will find a much better experience of a London café with distinct Italian overtones. I hope this place is never taken over by anyone else. Wonderful.

Popped in on way to an appointment- coffee and a bacon and egg muffin for £2.20- bargain! Place is vibrant, busy and the coffee and food is very tasty- the paninis on offer also looked very inviting- try this place before the Starbucks!

We popped into here for a snack and found the range of food and snacks to be really good - and very tasty. They are licensed too, so you can have wine or beer with your meal. The lasagne was really tasty. They do takeaway food too.

Read about this place before we visited the Shard, we did the usual things and checked out the restaurants at the shard both when we were there and on trip advisor......my god, some of them charge an arm and a leg for food and service that dosnt get much of a mention. 100 yards along the road is this place, what a find indeed, absolutely buzzing and full of diners and noise and hustle and bustle......and once we got a seat, well the food was amazing, my wifes baked potato was huge and all served with a smile amongst the lunchtime "takeaways". This made a perfect day. So much better than being sat in a stuffy restaurant. If we are up there again you will have 2 more for lunch.So pleased we took trip advisor choice on this

Delicious coffees, snacks and lunches with an Italian flavour and all reasonably priced, especially for this area. Also serves wine and beer, has a real local customer base as well as many visitors. Walk past Starbucks to find this little gem.

We (myself, my mum in a wheelchair and my 2 young daughters) stumbled upon Spiazzo by chance. We planned on visiting Lang in the Shangri La after taking a trip up the Shard. The Lang was full and we were told to wait in the reception area for an undetermined amount of time. We passed and headed to Starbucks. Full again. So we continued walking. On first appearances Spiazzo also looked full, but they came to us to say they would fit us in. We're so glad they did, what a gem! The lady who served us (the owner?) was very helpful and couldn't do enough to help. The food was delicious, and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Spiazzo and we will definitely visit it again!

This was my first visit here for several months. The service is still great. Food is still good value but prices have increased, but it is still good value for the area. Portion sizes are smaller than I remember.So not quite as as good as before but still well worth a vist.

Не понравилось вообще. Еда не понравилась, готовили очень долго. Ждали словно вечность. Персонал не очень приветливый.

We stayed at the shangri la hotel for 2 nights and where so dissapointed with the breakfast the first morning, we wished we had had breakfast here both morning lovely full English and freshly squeezed orange juice made on the premises

Arrived in London absolutely famished. Spotted this place and stopped off for a quick bite. Very quick service and tasty butties...

This gem of a place makes the most delicious breakfast and smoothies. The staff were friendly, place was spotless so clean. The smoothies are to die for. So yummy I will be back for more

for me, a bacon buttie for the other half and two full English breakfasts for the growing, foraging always hungry, twenty some things. We popped in here during an absolute biblical downpour as Borough Market was closed. My partner and I had eaten here a couple of times before and as we'd had exceptional sandwich's on those occasions, we ordered the same again. And it didn't disappoint. I sneaked at look at the two Full English Breakfasts and drooled, wishing that my partner had not got me on an enforced diet. The service here is functional but friendly. It's a busy place and the only waitress on the floor needed to be quick and accurate. We didn't help; four people, soaked to the skin, trying to decide what to have, caused a bit of confusion and scribbled pads, but she sorted it and all delivered promptly and correctly. This place is busy and very noisy, but it's a typical caf'e except where the food is concerned. The furniture is functional and at least the tables are wiped, unlike some I've visited.The food displays are a picture and the food is very very tasty. And the coffee is excellent.

Called in here with my son before attending Guy's Hospital, very busy restaurant but service excellent. Very good choice of food and very tasty.Good prices for decent sized portions, lunch for two with drink £13. Have already gone back for second visit. Saw no problem re: hygiene, chaps yesterday serving up the food were wearing gloves, and the whole place looked clean. Will certainly go back as so many nice things to try, and it is perfect if you are visiting someone in Guy's

Called in for lunch with my wife. This bright busy little cafe has friendly staff and a great selection of freshly prepared food. I really enjoyed by chicken & avocado panini filled with accompanying fresh leafy vegetables and some mozzarella. The coffee was served hot & flavoursome. Reasonably priced & good quality food.

They dont wear gloves when making the food. Sandwiches in particular. One had a fag then came back in bare handed and started cutting up a customers sandwich! VEGETARIANS BEWARE - THEY MIX VEGGIE AND MEAT FOODS TOGETHER WHEN COOKING, THEY TOUCH BOTH SO JUST AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!if you don't mind poor hygiene and inevitable food poisoning, then...THIS PLACE IS AWESOME

Excellent food with a wide and varied choice. The service is superb, great value, excellent house wine, highly recommended!!

Having paid £40 for breakfast at the Shard on our second morning we opted for Spiazzo where the full English was about £7, freshly made to order and piping hot. Excellent.

Had lunch here before visiting The Shard, I had Lasagne & my daughter had chicken & avocado pasta, both were freshly made, hot & very good. The service was quick and very attentive, would certainly recommend to anyone.

This place is very well located next to london bridge station and guys hospital. Full English breakfast is very nice and good value at £6.50.there is a varied menu for both breakfast and lunch. It can get very busy at lunchtime and seating is limited, including some outside seating.The staff here are friendly and all in all a great place to eat.

Less than a minute around the corner from The Shard, really warm welcome from the lovely lady who misses nobody! Choice of hot or cold food, eat in or take out, generous portions,served swiftly with no fuss and certainly value for money.

Freshly led prepared hot and cold foods at good prices. Gets very busy at lunchtimes. Good spot if visiting Guys hospital or The Shard. Recommended.

We were early for our View from the Shard trip and were advised to try Spiazzo just round the corner. Although it was busy there were a few tables available and no sooner had we sat down than a waitress was there to let us have a menu.The staff were efficient, helpful and cheerful. The place was clean. The food was good in quality, quantity and value and from the lists on all the walls it almost looked as if literally anything/everything was available. When we had finished and asked for the bill, the waitress did not have to go and find a till but knew just what we had and how much was to pay. A nice touch.Spiazzo's is a combination of good cafe with an Italian attitude and, needless to say, the coffee was much better than the competition a couple of doors away.There are even tables and chairs outside if you really want to sit on the edge of a rather busy street.Worth remembering.

Had a veggie breakfest, spicy tuna salmon and smoked salmon and cream cheers bagel. Service was good and food great:) thanks!

Excellent service ,waitress very attentive and helpful, food was very good, the choices on offer appealed to all tastes, very pleasant experience all round. The place was spotlessly clean and appealing , would certainly visit again.

The day we visited for some drinks and snacks we had high hopes from the reviews. Perhaps some of the staff were new as the senior waitress was bellowing commands all the time in a way that certainly doesnt happen in Italy! If you are serving tea to the english then give us a pot or at least some means to manage the teabag not just a large mug with white tea, bag in and a spoon. the loos werent working. food was adequate however.

We stopped here after visiting a relative at Guys Hospital on a weekend afternoon. The food was extraordinary, large helpings and freshly prepared - both the hot meal and salads were very tasty. Homemade coleslaw and pasta dishes were on order and with drinks and coffee the price per person was around £8:50 – highly recommended. Why would anyone got to Starbucks or McDonalds when food of this quality is available next door – try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Busy cafe, great simple food, good service and good food. Lots of italian food options. We tried the toasties.

I am a frequent visitor to London as my wife is undergoing treatment at Guy's Hospital. I am from Gibraltar. This little restaurant not only offers a wide variety of pasta and rice dishes, it also offers 'food in a bun' for those who are rushed for time. I go there for lunch every day and I do not need to repeat the same plate every time as there is great menu to choose from. I find the food there is tasty and fresh, much as I would get at home, with generous portions to boot! The service is friendly and excellent from the staff who come from different parts of the world. I totally recommend giving it a visit. Well done and keep it up!

I had intended to visit this place for a long time. I visit Guys hospital quite often and only eat at Mcdonald's in severely desperate circumstances. Spiazzo is a much better option.It is a very lively café which sells a good variety of food and the coffee is very good too. I like the décor which replicates cafes in Italy very well. And the staff which hail from all over Europe are simply wonderful. All in all a very nice experience. Well done. especially to Katy and Igna.

Went to the shard for breakfast didn't book and it was full !!! This wee place is amazing bypass Starbucks and come here can't miss it minutes from the shard

Made straight for this little cafe after visiting the Shard (thanks to previous reviews). It was still bustling at 2.30. It all looked appetising and it was hard to decide between a panini or mains. We tried the chicken, bacon and avocado salad and a lasagna. Both good sized helpings and delicious. The berry smoothie and house red were good too. The service was excellent and the prices very reasonable.Be prepared to pay by cash if you don't want to incur a credit-card charge (according to a fellow diner) - though this might only apply to low-value purchases.Would I go back? Absolutely!

This is a traditional caffe with very good hot and cold food, drink and service at a good price. It is convenient for London Bridge Stations and is clean and cosy, including the loo! I shall be sure to return when in the area.

If you have visited the Shard and want food close by, by-pass Starbucks, ignore McDonalds and walk round the corner to this placeIndoor and outdoor tables, indoors modern, funky but accessible Italian Deli chicService-wise they made life perfect for my 95 year old Mum who then proceeded to hoover up the delicious chicken bacon and avocado salad washed down with a peach, mango and banana smoothieThe Peri-Peri Chicken salad was undoubtedly the most imaginative salad I have ever experienced either here or in America, where they are usually rather good at them. Imbued with intriguing pickled vegetables – giardiniari I think they were called -any further dressing would have been almost redundant. A welter of contrasting textures – and king size into the bargain.2 salads 2 smoothies £19.40 – even the bill was handwritten! The only qualm was rather too many portraits of Wayne Rooney among the many wall photos – and maybe a couple of tables too many for comfort. But this quibbling is outweighed by A1 service, food and pricing.My kinda place – check it out

Opposite McDs and near Starbucks but so different.Friendly staff, great atmosphere and food (and significant number of italians as customers when i was there).Simple things done excellently - fresh hot black coffee and a giant veggie breakfast and very reasonably priced.An occasional visitor to London Bridge area but second time at Spiazzo in 2013 and will go again at end of month.

Found this little cafe after visiting the Shard. Friends had already had a coffee when we met them and had commented on how good the food looked so we decided to stay for lunch. Plenty of choice and everything looked fresh. The place was extremely busy but the staff were friendly and polite. All four of us had a different main and all agreed that the food was delicious. This place offers great tasting food at great value, whether you eat in or take away. The portions are good and great value for money. Forget the Prets and find this place if you're in the area.....I will be surprised if you're disappointed.

Came here as food looked nice, & staff despite being extremely busy are so friendly & polite & efficient! I've been coming as have hospital appointments weekly - but so glad discovered this place and prices are extremely reasonable especially being placed next to the shard! Definitely go here if in the area.. I love crispy bacon & cheese toastie & a cappuccino!I had disappointing food at Muriel's kitchen in leicester square on Saturday & this place is so much better! ( not reheated in a microwave)!

A handy, friendly and reasonably priced cafe to fuel up in prior to a long day of study. Very good and efficient service. Food good for the price.

Arrived early for a visit to the Shard, and needing a coffee break looked about - Starbucks, Macdonalds, and what's this?An absolutely brilliant snack bar with a food counter to try and die for !! Coffee excellent, service enthusiastic and welcoming. A must visit.

Called in after visiting the Shard. Had a lovely lunch of paninis. Great choices on menu and it was extremely busy. It was because it was busy, is what made us call in for lunch. Despite it being busy service was excellent. You will get better food there than at nearby fastfood joints. Would go there regularly if I lived nearby.

We had lunch yesterday before visiting the Shard. Two of us had excellent paninis which were toasted to perfection, there were so many fillings to choose from. One of us had a veggie lasagne which she said was delicious and a generous portion. The teas and coffee were excellent. Service from the energetic and efficient waitress was very good. Very, very good value. We will visit again if we find ourselves in the area.

A friend took me to this little cafe for lunch on a saturday afternoon. The paninis were amazing! They had all sorts of paninis, sandwiches, and breakfast combos. If you are in the neighbourhood, go go go!

Next-door-but-one to Starbucks very near to the entrance to The Shard. Loads of choice for food and coffee in a cup. Come out of London Bridge Tube station and turn right, then right again.

Great breakfasts, good pastries and a friendly welcome, open early at the foot of the Shard, doughnuts are awsome
