The Breakout in Islington - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went in nursing a sorehead after a heavy one and the breakfast really hit the spot! Substantial and came with a coffee, a real no-nonsense hangover cure that ticked all the boxes!

Perfect wee cafe in the heart of London. Builders love it

Top food. top staff. love it. If your in the area and hungry get over there.

Best cup of coffee I had drank in a month. And I still think about the grilled tomatoes.

Good traditional Food , very friendly staff , great tasting food , such a quick service too !! Very well done

Great cafe. Good food. 5/5 rasher rating

Amazing for your all day breakfast and sandwiches! Everything is freshly made.

Quick service and a friendly welcome. A great place to stop before work for the day at HMP Pentonville. No messing. Frequented by a variety of people.

Lovely bacon roll also fantastic ham salad

The price of the breakfast has doubled in the last 2 years. Plus the £9.50 parking for half hour made breakfast £26

Gets busy at normal times. Breakfast, lunch.

I love this place. It's what I think of when I think of an English breakfast Cafe.

Very clean. Nice food & served tea as it should be served. Made from tea leafs & poured from tea pot.

Very average food, at a very high price. Much better places around that are cheaper and have better options

A flying visit as in a hurry. Very helpful staff lovely food. Next time, I will try and have time to sit down.

Great place, friendly staff, all the ingredients are tasty and fresh. Highly recommended

Très bon accueil ! Supers petits déjeuner bons et copieux ! Je recommande 👍

Good value home of the Full English Breakfast, plates brimming over. Set 1 looks deceptively smaller, but trust me it hits the spot. Stand out item is their sausage; excellent quality, full of flavour and a very nice surprise. Service is super quick and efficient, the cafe bright and clean. Tea is probably the only weak point, but not unlike any other cafe. A minor point; you will be well fed here, do drop in, well worth it!

Food is okay, chicken was dry. Over priced for what it is, better food places around the area for cheaper. Wouldn’t go back again

Awesome (and very large!) omelettes and fast, friendly service. Keep up the good work!

Delicious food and good size portions.

Very good and quite big portions that can`t be found everywhere. Welcoming staff and good atmosphere.

Very kind staff and delicious food!

Love this place , great value for money.

Too quality food. Set 4 is the way to go!!!!!

A good ole cafe serving traditional breakfast meals...& others....in friendly atmosphere. Popularity shown by numbers and varied types of customers

Food was lovely and very reasonably price.

Proper cafe with fantastic food.

Pleasant ambience, the food is delicious and well prepared, anyone who want quick and good food highly recommends this restaurant.

A little too pricey at over £20+ for these but definitely delicious fry ups. The bread they use is great and the sausages are good.

Very clean and very good food at reasonable price, very busy place

I gave five stars to this place four years ago, and it is still a relevant rating. This place is good, like landing at Heathrow, getting a cab and go straight to Caledonian Road good. Service is amazing and friendly and the food is just glorious!

Great cafe with great food and love the punny name of the place.

Best breakfast in London with local vibe. Nothing fancy, just large portions of homemade food!

Perfect place to eat traditional English breakfast. Here you can feel relaxed, and experience the home atmosphere of the neighborhood.

Best breakfast I've had for some time. Good sausage and great value for money

Fantastic café. Bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Really good food. Friendly staff who remember what you like I.e. well done bacon etc. clean also.

Great food, VERY! Friendly Staff.

Friendly, attentive staff and great food.

...nice and good breakfast everything is perfect

Absolutely first class. Excellent quality, tasty and unlimited tea top up! Great service. Nice and clean. Thanks Bill

The best place for breakfast, lunch or dinner but it's the breakfast for me, I happily drive out of my way to visit the Breakout and so should you!

Several men sitting at tables smoking cannabis outside so we decided to go elsewhere.

... exhausting having to write negative reviews I happen very rarely (I prefer not to return to the place) however I find myself paying a breakfast 12.60 with: tomatoes beans an egg two slices of black pudding uns of fried bread no coffe no the ' unheard of price or it is a question of stealing money and ask the receipt they won't give it to me

Great breakfast great friendly staff

A top cafe with great staff 5 star

Top knotch greasy spoon. Good Food. Very courteous and Clean surroundings.

Too expensive for what you actually get . Cheapest breakfast is £7.50 for only just 4 items ( 1 sausage , 1 egg , 1 hash brown , beans ) Old tables , empty walls , I’ve seen canteens better decorated .

Nice breakfast thanks and will see you again

Good food, Great customer service. Honestly felt as if they knew me and my eating habits by the offers i received whilst ordering e.g i like my eggs well done and they confirmed it rather than asking.

Good English breakfast the real way no fancy little plates with nothing in it

Decent food portions and prices, but come lunch time it's full of people that are visiting the prison opposite! So you can make your assumption on who visits..

Great greasy spoon with friendly service.

Food 8/10 Service 10/10 price 9/10

arguably the best greasy spoon in London. Absolutely top shelf food, service and atmosphere

Very enjoyable breakfast with my kids. The breakfast was delicious and very big portion too. Staff very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back to try lunch

Classic breakfasts prepared properly and promptly! Can't go wrong here, something for just about everyone

Good for a dirty English breakfast 😋

Been eating here for years... never had a problem with anything...friendly staff...food good quality for money... Genuine people

Went into this Breakout cafe whilst waiting for a friend to finish her visit to her partner. I was very impressed at the range of food offered. The cafe was clean and well organised and I watched as when people was leaving, immediately they sanitised the table in preparation for somebody else to sit safely. I had an all day breakfast and it was excellent. For London the price was £9.50 which was reasonable and included tea/coffee and either bread or toast. All in all a very pleasant visit.

To expensive for a greasy spoon cafe

Food quality and service always on point highly recommend

Good honest cafe with friendly staff

Probably the best cafe in North London

Great quality breakfast. Spacious. Good value for money.

If ever down the cally definitely get yourself in there, best cafe in the area

Prices are banging and so are the flavours of the fakin food mate

Never knowingly under fed. Huge portions, friendly staff, reasonably priced, what more could you want?

Great food, fantastic service and reasonable prices too.

Classic cafe, serves all the food you would expect at a reasonable price. Friendly staff too!

Very very very expensive, 6 pound 80 for bacon sausage and beans like come on???? Day light Robbery......

Breakout... more like break into my belly! Mmmhhhh 🔥🔥

Builders and police officers have been filling their bellies and clogging their arteries at the Breakout (name hint: Pentonville) for years. Every time I walk past, there are at least four people in high-vis vests inside. Quick, tasty and affordable. Healthy? Vegan-friendly? Well, maybe this isn't the place.

The food it's not healthy at all and very expensive too. The Breakout cause lots of traffic and pollution to the area. In london every year about four thousand people die from pollution.

Always top draw food proper sausages and bacon not rubbish ,Steve and the girls always friendly

What can I say? Simply the BEST cafe in London. No messing about, proper old school British cafe with good quality produce across the whole menu. Shame I can’t say the same about some of the other cafes in the local area.. Good to see safe covid protocols in place with a nice open clean dinning room. Couldn’t recommend enough!! Steve is a cally legend!

Absolutely LOVE this place, their breakfasts are AMAZING!

Good for what it is, only thing was it is so loud and the staff were not helping the noise level. Nothing to dampen the sounds and it was just stressful being there - everything banging and staff shouting. Probably just a me thing, but just wasn't the nice breakfast outing we were looking for.

Great food lovely staff. Took a takeaway brunch order

Good customer service, fresh and hot food.

One of the best cafes in North London

Quick service and at a good price!! Thank you

Top cafe for a fry, if you're in the area drop in

Thanks for a superb breakfast this morning!! Looking forward to a return visit. 🙂

Best fry-up on Cally road, directly opposite the prison. Lovely guys serving great fresh food - no pools of grease, no bargain basement sausages, no surly old dudes giving you side-eye. Recommended.

This cafe has the best sausages ever and the staff are so nice everyone should try this xafe but once u do u will be hooked enjoy peeps I've been going here for years

FANTASTIC! A Bacon and Sausage sandwich is what I recommend😘

Still the best cafe in London by far.

The best cafe in the land. Its a bit pricey compared to other cafes but you get what you pay for and in this case its pukka grub.

Called in this morning for breakfast and had the best cooked food ever. Bacon and sausage cooked perfectly

Had some marvellous breakfast there with my cabdriver friends and they eat all over London and say it’s the best good portions good quality food And nice staff

I have always thought that Belfast's Ulster Fry's take some beating but yesterday, I ate the finest breakfast of my life. The food was simply exquisite, everything on my plate was absolutely fresh with only the finest ingredients used. The superb bacon rashers must have been delivered by angels! I honestly don't know how they do it for the price. The place had a fantastic atmosphere even at 10am with all sorts of people enjoying the food. Service is also of an exceptionally high standard and complements the excellent food. I spoke to the cafe owner before I left and a more gracious and humble fella you simply couldn't meet. What a find!

Deliciosos desayunos, muy limpio y excelente atención

Nice cafe, very quick service and lovely employees.

Typical English breakfast! You can choose your own breakfast or like me choose a set. I was completely full after the meal and it was really delicious! I will come again if I'm nearby. Service is quick and kind.

Lovely cafe with a good variety on breakfasts. Excellent sandwiches

Food was good, proper workmans and old lags cafe, we were in suits so we didn't get the service with a smile...in fact geezer behind the counter looked not pleased to see us, but give the place credit, clean and decent food at an average price...

Extremely rude staff !!! Charging me extra money for stupid reasons !

Friendly staff good food no quibbles.

Friendly staff and tasty grub at honest prices!
