The Breakfast Bar in Broxbourne

Average nothing to write home about 1 toast given with brekkie extra is charged which is ridiculous considering one plate is near £14 Tea and coffee come with meal not mentioned and not given either (small print) Wouldn’t return but it’s okay Not particularly tasty either Gone downhill since previous years Service is mid

Everything was beautiful. A beautifully made meal and a great atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the environment is extremely clean. Thank you The Breakfast Bar :)

The best around Broxbourne whole of the borough

Great menu with good variety of food. Well prepared and good portions size. Friendly and welcoming service.

Food is excellent, staff really friendly and helpful, and the place is spotless. I will never go anywhere else for a decent meal. Love this place. I'm still going here, and it's still as great. Recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Best cafe in town! Strongly recommended.

We have visited this place twice recently for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and attentive and the food was great. The menu has so much to choose from. We took our 2 year old both times and it was very child friendly for her. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a great place for breakfast.

Seating is compact but it works, I don't feel squashed in at all. So much to lookmat qhen yoi are in there the nostalgia had me in a happy place. Food was nice and the service was lovely.

"Thank you to the entire team for making our dining experience truly unforgettable! The service was exceptional, and we were blown away by how every staff member went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. A special thank you for making my son's birthday so memorable with your kind and beautiful gesture—it was truly unexpected and touched us all. We will cherish this special day, and we can't wait to return!"

Wonderful food, excellent service. Will definitely be returning! 🤤🍳🥞😍

Best service and quality food for 10 years, never goes wrong.

I've been here a few times for my favourite breakfast of pancakes, eggs & bacon & plenty of maple syrup. Lovely,

The most beautiful menu and the friendliest staff, delicious food, everything is really good quality...

Interesting decor with good music, a bit busy in some moments. Floor staff are friendly, but waiting time for food was a bit crazy. People randomly served before us when they arrived after after us. The food was ok, but nothing special for this price.

Overpriced ,not good service , £41 and some change for 3 breakfasts use to be good and value for money now overpriced average food won’t be going back anytime soon , lots of eating places in the cross and this won’t be one of them

30min wait for breakfast. Egg came out wrong twice. Overpriced

Perfect breakfast place to have your favourites on one plate.

Food and service was amazing, would highly recommend, food came out very quickly 👍

Brilliant breakfast! Cooked perfectly and plenty of it. Nice friendly atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. I recommend the pancake breakfast for a bit of everything. Definitely visit for breakfast anytime of day (we went at 13:30). Highly recommend.

Absolutely unbelievable jacket potato with cheese and beans first Time a place has acctuley put lots of cheese and beans 😊😊 lovely service too definitely worth the money :)

Food is great staff are friendly and polite.

Really disappointing experience today. Had to wait over 45 minutes for our food and having to witness many customers arrive after us and get their food before us! When I queried this with the waitress she lied to me saying that the food is coming, 10 minutes later still no sign of any food. So I had to get up from our table and speak to the manager at the till. As soon as I spoke to him the food came out 2 minutes later. Clearly my food was ready and just forgotten about for ages as the food was stone cold as a result. No apology from both the waitress and manager whatsoever. I'm not sure why this place is so packed as the food is extremely average! Waltham Cross deserves better! Very chaotic and loud café. If you want a place to chill and have a proper chat and catch up over food DO NOT even consider this place as it's a chaotic marketplace all day!

Came here for late breakfast as a big group - fantastic service, delicious food, friendly staff, even the chai latte was great, 5*!

The Breakfast Bar is Simple great ! I went with my family and we loved it ! The food is delicious , The customer service is excellent , the place comfortable with a beautiful decoration. I do highly recommend this place for everyone.

We had the New York breakfast and cocoloco and blueberry blast smoothies. All was delicious

The food is amazing and the new addition of the cocktails is such a nice treat. Everyone there is so nice and the service is outstanding!!!

Call into Barclays opposite first, get a loan. FAR TOO EXPENSIVE !! It's a cafe in a street not a Michelin starred restaurant.

Fantastic cafe in Waltham Cross with a massive menu ranging from paninis, breakfast, pastas and more. There is always seating avaliable however staff can be a little inattentive and you have to signal for someone to come over. I have been here with children and the kids menu is nice and food is appetising. They used to only take cash but now accept card too.

No good food i ordered jacked potatoes which looked old and test-less , plus they put Mozzarella Cheese instead of cheddar cheese when i told them they tried to convince me its was cheddar cheese .A good advice is : when you run out of some ingredients please tell to your customers that you run out .

Fast team, not too expensive menu. Nice place. Not too small portions and coffee cups are large. But... I was looking to classic English breakfast meal. Instead... Got fooled by year old picture from Google review for this place with "The Hang over with black pudding" . Asked same as on the picture from year ago review, because it is gone from the menu now. Instead have ask for chips (got non salted ones, non breakfast style), some over-salted ham instead of bacon, sausage is not a typical banger, also they don't ask how eggs should be fried...

Lovely little spot, servers are friendly prompt and polite. Food is good and atmosphere feels friendly for families/friends/couples.

I've never experienced this before. First I asked about the pancakes if they come thin or fluffy American style. They SAID thin BUT brought 3 small fluffy ones. Second I ordered a twix milkshake. It came without the syrup or pieced of chocolate on top (as advertised in the menu). When questioned they said "that's only for the pictures". Wtaf??? The menu pictures show how the milkshake suppose to look like. And at the end that audacity to charge extra for the PLAIN cream that they put on top on the milkshake (yes the pictures was showing cream as well). They can keep my £15 but honestly I will never go back there. Misselling products and lying.

Great food and reasonably priced. Ate here several times during my short stay nearby.

The Breakfast Bar is an American style diner with a huge menu with a wide choice of foods suitable for breakfast, lunch and indeed any time of day. Service is friendly and reasonably quick, the food is good quality and prices are reasonable. You can get sandwiches, panini omelettes, jacket potatoes, etc. Note that the restaurant only accepts cash - there is an ATM directly opposite.

Very Hygienic, excellent food and amazing friendly staff highly recommended

Food is always good, decent portion sizes as well. Staff are friendly, and also efficient. Gets busy but like a bit of background noise. Nice cafe for a breakfast or lunch, recommend.

Order my food order was wrong even though it’s stated correct on receipt they did NOT replace or refund my order 😡😡😡

A wonderful cafe. Everything I eat here is delicious. That's why I love having breakfast or eating at this cafe. The decoration of the cafe is very tasteful. The staff is very friendly and polite. I congratulate the manager and staff. everyone is very successful.

Have been here already a few times and we love everything! Great atmosphere, delicious food served quickly, and super welcoming staff.

Great food, great service, great place... They even open the door for you as you come in! 👌😱

I was disappointed as we brought 2 set breakfasts, both comes with tea or coffee. My partner upgraded to decaf and they said they would charge extra which was ok. They asked me what coffee I would like, which I picked a latte- no extra charge was mentioned about the latte. When the bill came, I noticed that they charged me extra for both coffees (apparently you can only get tea or flat white). This was not mentioned to me at the time of ordering otherwise I would’ve picked flat white that comes with the set breakfast. I raised that I was not informed that there would be an extra charge for the latte, they didn’t care, they only acknowledged and agreed with me that it wasn’t mentioned and still proceeded to charge me. I still paid in full and told them to mention this to the owner so other people do not have the same issue but they did not look like they cared and just said ok. I will not be coming here again after many years as a customer as it is the principle that is important rather than the monetary value in £

not great customer service and food took to long to come out. overpriced for Waltham Cross

Been going to this spot for a while and it’s rating has dropped, I won’t be visiting again tbh. The portion to price ratio is crazy and they’ve upped their prices and even charge extra for the smallest of things. The owner has definitely forgotten what he’s serving and it’s definitely not breakfast. The fact they don’t even take card is very dodgy and not everyone can pay by cash.

I love this place, one of the most popular cafes in Enfield so it is always busy here and sometimes the food does take long but the food is always great.

My kids' favourite breakfast spot and I like to take them here, the service is always friendly and attentive, the atmoshpere is pleasant and welcoming.

Love this place don't live local but when I'm visiting fishpools next door we always like to have a bite to eat here and a coffee food is lovely coffee also great, the only downside is people who sit outside with cigarettes, it's awfull , especially whilst eating , and the other downside is cash only not in today's world ,

Lovely food, not cheap but very tasty! Went out of their way to accommodate my lactose intolerant partner. Will definitely come again.

Pros + Delicious food + High quality ingredients + Lots of varieties + Outdoor seating Cons - Cash only

I love, love, love it, great meal, huge portions, tasty, friendly staff, great ambience. Nice and cute decor. Just happened on it and I am glad we went in, definitely going back

Lovely burger atmosphere and company.

If you want to be given a menu and left out side for 20 mins this is the place ended up walking away and going to cafe opposite and was served right away.

friendly staff, nice place. Cash only.

Good food, served fast, very polite staff, good location.

Excellent locally run breakfast bar with a good choice of British and Turkish food and drinks. Tasty food and good portion sizes.

Absolutely awful was served with black, cremated jacket potato that was brown inside when I asked for one that was not burnt waitress said “you don’t have to eat outside” so I showed her the inside under the tiny bit of tuna and cheese on top, she said she’d get another which was also cremated and had been mashed to a pulp with butter to try and disguise the brown insides - I put both potatoes on the plate and ate the small salad and the topping when I went to pay the waitress tried to charge me the £8.40 for the potato when challenged she said I brought you another one I replied yes and that was as bad I returned both so the man behind counter said I cook them every day! I said well today you burnt them you should take off menu today he said take off the potato and now charge her for salad, cheese and tuna! AVOID THIS CAFE there are at least three more cafes and a few restaurants at the Cross

Cash only but ATM next door. Food good and most of employees friendly

I have been going there for years. Past 3 times my food was forgotten. Im talking they forgot my order. Today was the last straw. We went there with my wife, all i ordered was a simple english breakfast, and she ordered a panini. 50 minutes later, 4 girls and 4 boys who had come 20 minutes after us had finished their food and was enjoying their coffee and cigarettes. My wifes food came after 50 minutes, without her chips, 10 minutes later my breakfast came without my eggs and i was told ‘your eggs are coming’. I told the waitress to take my breakfast back as i did not want it anymore. I will never go back there and i will not send friends and family there either. How can you forget my order? People came minutes after me but my order was forgotten? From now on i will go to MAYA coffee shop accross breakfast bar.

Its a lovely welcoming place a little bit pricey but worth it for a treat. Food is always fresh. They are accommodating and the nostalgic atmosphere is lovely. I've been a good few times now and never been dissapointed. Cash only people. So my last visit we had to wait ages for our food. Maybe because we were a large group of 10. But it was too long a wait and our compensation was a bowl of chips on the house when I asked of we could have a free round of drinks as all our drinks were finished way before our good arrived. Dissapointed.

First time to eat here. Food is ok and service as well.

Came here for the first time since the pandemic as it used to be fantastic but now the portions have got smaller while they have hiked up their prices. Now I understand there is a cost of living crisis and everything is going up but to also make your portions smaller is not okay. This place used to be packed on a Saturday morning but it was empty, no one is going to pay £13 for a breakfast, £10 for a tiny wrap that doesn’t even come with chips. Sad to see it go like this as they really did used to be great, sadly I will not ever be returning as did most of the other customers in the cafe say the same.

Good coffee, below average breakfast, need to be more creative.

Like the idea, but very Ok food. Nice polite staff. Perhaps put the price up and serve better quality food. Hot choc was nothing special- could make it at home. Kids weren’t that happy with the waffles- perhaps have 2 sizes- 2 per plate and 1 per plate? Milkshake wasn’t very good. However, one of us thought the pancakes were fine.

I've had breakfast at Breakfast Bar over the last few years and I've never had a bad experience! Always tasty, relatively fast service, and the staff are very friendly.

First time visiting. Really high standard food choices, good portion sizes & friendly staff. We will be back...

The place was busy for a Sunday brunch. The service by the ladies was brilliant - they were helpful and very accommodating for our larger than normal table with a latecomer too. The food was really tasty and not too oily. With lots of options to choose from. The only issue was that even though we all ordered together, the food did not all come out at the same time... you can expect 5 minutes or so for the whole table to have their food but 2 of our tae got their food nearly 15 minutes before the rest came out ( and it wasn't the child on the table)! As this was the only bug bear though we will definitely be back!

Ordered a veggie and "Sun Inn" breakfast, fabulous coffee (and I'm a stickler for good coffee), and a nice old chap at the next table keeping warm over a beer trying to bother us for conversation. Prices fair (£25 all in) but not cheap, everything on the breakfast was good quality and tasty.

Delicious breakfast, fresh ingredients, big portions, very yummy, I ate it all

Best cafe in town, always freshly prepared food and excellent service.

Friendly staff .lovely drinks .I went back to this place to try the food it was good

Lovely food and friendly staff. Child friendly but does get very busy so can be abit tricky with buggies. Staff always try to accommodate though!

Great quality food! The service was amazing and the staff were very friendly! I really liked the design of the shop and the friendly vibes. Will defo recommend for everyone else to give it a go.

Hii I came not long ago about a few weeks ago. The food was amazing. Definitely recommend all the smoothies. Everything was on point. I will definitely be heading back to The Breakfast Bar. Lovely friendly staff. Best cafe in london/Hertfordshire

Good food and service always, excellent place!

Best cafe in Waltham Cross Spectacular food Service 👌🏽

Breakfast… what an amazing discovery, great ambiance, clean and fantastic service, full English breakfast was fresh, hot and delicious, good coffee and fresh orange juice, I’m set up for the day! 10/10

The breakfast bar use to be ‘THE SPOT’. However, the last 3 times I’ve been everything has been poor; the temperature of the food, the taste, and the service. Enjoyed this place so much, I keep making excuses for the poor services and goods and go back after a break. However, today will be my final visit. My pasta arrived cold and tasteless. Going back for my second bite I saw a long piece of hair. As disgusting as it is, I understand these things happen within the food industry sometimes no matter how much precaution is taken. What made me upset was how they dealt with it. I informed them immediately, the staff’s response was ‘oh should I take it’, i was baffled that from her end it seemed as an option I might continue eating after finding a long hair in it?? Like how? There was no apology. For a Saturday the place wasn’t full at all which only confirms to me I’m not the only one who thinks the quality has dropped.

Excellent, always worth a visit

I usually go to the breakfast bar for breakfast at least once a week, sometimes more often. I decided to pop in for lunch today. The food and service wasn’t good, staff were indirectly disrespectful by opening loud music so we can feel uncomfortable and leave. As soon as we walked out, the music was turned off. Please bare in mind that although they’re supposedly open until 6pm, they don’t really want customers after 4pm, that’s how i felt.

I live about 8 miles away, by car. This was now, the second time that I have met a friend here for brunch and will be happy to return again. The quality of food is excellent: decent portions, attentive service and a reasonable price. Easy to find as it is located in the square, beside the Eleanor Cross, that gives Waltham Cross its name. As others have observed, the place is very popular and is frequently crowded, which I consider to be confirmation that they have got things right. I am certainly looking forward to an opportunity to return soon.

Foods great atmosphere good friendly people

delicious food and very friendly service!

Been here several times and as always absolutely loved it. The Spanish Omelette is to die for.

...just had a late lunch .an all day breakfast...lovely almosphere and decor..I should eat here more often!

Quick and friendly staff. The food was made, after order, therefore hot and cooked properly

Had a few fry ups here and it was all good. Not special but nothing to complain about.

Love this place, however slight over priced...., have to pay cash only here which is a pain in the #$%#, the food is good and the choice is good

Best food ever and nice people 💪💪

Conclusion - Disappointing The Breakfast Bar seemed more about the "it place" to be seen and less about the quality of the food. In comparison to other cafes I have been to, and it's possible these cafes all get their ingredients from similar, if not the same place, The Breakfast Bar is most definitely ranked in the bottom 3 of fry ups I have ever had. We were a party of 3 and we all had something negative to say about the food. 1 friend said "the sausages look like they've been cremated", and they did. Tasted like they had too. My other friend said "I can make better fried mushrooms than this at home" and honesty, anyone could. Their mushrooms were bland and just not nice. And I just couldn't believe the small portion of, what seemed to be, watered down baked beans that was provided. That said, the food was all edible. It just didnt taste good and wasn't satisfying. After we left, we all thought "what a waste of money and calories". We just left unsatisfied - which was extremely disappointing.

Good cafe, lots of tables inside and out. Good food and facing Eleanor cross statue, parking close by. Recommended

Very lively cafe, music was pumping but I had to wait over half an hour for my very basic cafe breakfast no quality to the food I definitely won't be going there again.

Cool bar in highstreet, lots of choice to eat and the food was good.

Good food but busy and very loud at lunch time.

Would have given it 5 stars but for the fact that they only take cash which is ridiculous in the 21st century. And no mention of this until you go to pay. Food and service was great, though a bit pricey.

Love this place! Great breakfast with high quality ingredients. Also great omelettes, the salad is also great topped with pomegranate. The decor is vibrant inside with lots of little decorations. Also option to sit outside when the weather is good. The staff are welcoming and friendly with quick service! Gave my 4 year old a lollipop to leave with. Thank you!

Food was fantastic and wicked service. Think We found a new spot to eat. Staff couldn’t do no more to help you. Places is also very clean

The food is gorgeous, the staff friendly and the price is very good.

For me today I have come to the breakfast bar I got my usual tuna melt tostie the difference was the bread and I didn't expect that they served sour dough bread other than that the expeirience is always gonna be a 5 star service 4 me place is always clean to sit and eat the staff work so well together and it's always good to see when you come to eat food Today I had gone to my favourite spot to eat and no matter the mood this place just has it

Love the decor, food is good. Milkshakes could be more decadent.

This place is amazing! I can't wait to go back! It has a huge menu with every possible breakfast item you could ever wish for! Ice-cream milkshakes, freshly squeezed orange and apple juice, lovely coffee, pancakes, waffles, cooked breakfast, cakes that looked amazing, and so much more! Good service and prices. Get there early or you'll have to queue!
