The Breakout in Islington

Friendly staff, tasty and quick food. Very reasonable prices. Would recommend for a good breakfast!

Great address for a hearty English breakfast, with several choices including a great veggie option. The staff is pleasant and smiling, a pleasure. We recommend 👍

Never let's you down, no one leaves there hungry, always top quality food served there. Tony.

Top notch cafe in a great spot. The staff are so friendly and look after you well. Brilliant all round experience. Will be back

Lovely people lovely food. Would recommend.

Great fry up Taste nice & cooked well Staff we friendly & helpful Overall a quality..nice cafe.. Would recommend it

Greasy spoon, as good as they get!

Came here nearly every morning during our stay in London. Food is great and comes out quickly, prices are fair, and the staff is kind. Would highly recommend.

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!

Food was okay, the owner was sitting down yelling at his staff who where doing a great job, he was rude and obnoxious and didn’t even look up and say thanks when they cleaned his table, only the female staff he was rude to

Ace place. I had a bacon and egg baguette that was great. Big menu, good prices, helpful staff.

The breakfast at Breakout is on point and pocket friendly too. I looked forward to each morning at the bustling street in Islington. The waitresses were attentive to each detail and delivered exactly what was ordered.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
