The Villa Cafe in Islington

Very warm welcome, lovely staff, we had a very good breakfast there. Clean room and very good food. I highly recommend. Thank you for this pleasant moment, French tourists are very well received!!!!

Let us stop lying to ourselves for a second. What are we really looking for when we go somewhere to eat? Obviously, food. But if you’re like me, you’re also looking for a bit of refuge from the constant droning of this city, a little slice of home, a second to breathe. And fancy, grey, minimalist cafes where a sandwich costs 15 pounds just do nothing to satisfy my thirst for warmness. The Villa Cafe does. And, the food is great. So leave the chains behind and let the smiles of the lovely owner of this homey cafe warm you up while you wait for your breakfast or panini.

Food was great and the staff really friendly!!

Love this place - little local cafe with classic builder's caf options, well priced, quick and easy food - the staff are so nice, always feel v welcome.

Good family place. Always welcoming.

Super place. Great Food and excellent service.

Really nice cafe, with a great choice of food, and reasonably priced, friendly service with a smile and a positive vibe 😊

Amazing breakfast. Tasted amazing. Great service. 5/5 rasher rating. Contender for my top 3 cafes...

I tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago and it's great! The food was delicious. I had a chicken panini and my partner had a burger and chips. We went in the middle of the afternoon, and it was very quiet. But we weren't there for the atmosphere - we were there because we needed a bite to eat and found ourselves in the neighborhood. I noticed there is also some seating outside which is nice! This cafe is on a somewhat busy road (York Way) but this section of the sidewalk is part set back from the traffic, so sitting out front could potentially be pleasant. This is the type of place that is a good go-to if you live in the neighborhood (especially since their menu has a large variety). The people who work there are warm and welcoming. Very polite service. I think they might be a family, but I'm not sure.

Absolutely fantastic service, the staff are very very friendly and very polite, I came in for lunch and had scrambled eggs, beans and bacon and a coffee. The food was absolutely delicious, I would definitely recommend that people try The Villa Cafe. The atmosphere was good, the food good and the service was exceptional. Prices are good. Definitely a good little cafe. I will definitely be coming back.

Awesome local cafe, offering great value, tasty breakfasts, coupled with friendly, efficient service.

Great food, great value for money, lovely service

Absolute gem of a place. Couldn't be better.

This is a great little cafe to visit for breakfast or lunch. Food is prepared quickly and is hot and fresh. The family that runs it is very kind, caring, and just generally very awesome people. If you're in the area stop in and support a great local family business.

Nice breakfast and great service two mornings in a row. Great little cafe.

Friendly and helpful staff, even if you're staying just for a cup of tea.

Had a great breakfast at a great price, great size portion and friendly staff

Nettes kleines Café mit gutem Frühstück und feinem Cappuccino!

Buen lugar. Muy tranquilo. Muy buena atención.

Really delicious food at a great price point with fast & friendly service. I got a baked potato to go at peak time & I was in & out within 5 minutes!

A local favourite, proper greasy spoon/builders café, ran by a lovely family

Lively atmosphere, friendly staff, great service and food. This is REAL value for money. Don't make them like this anymore. What an absolute delight and a real find. Jewel in a crown.

Went in on a whim for a quick lunch. people there were very friendly and welcoming. The food was spot on as well. Next time I'm in the area, I'm coming straight here for a proper fry up :)

Pleasant service, very friendly, could tell it was a well run family business

Made to feel really welcome by the friendly staff.

I'm a local but this little cafe on yorkway is a must go to for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Absolutely friendly with very good cooked food. In a nutshell what a place to wake up to and go to in the morning. Respect.

Très bon avec un grand choix et leur café et bon aussi

An amazing breakfast but even better is the welcome and service received from the lovely lady who makes you feel like she is your big sister who cares so much to make sure everything is perfect. There is no better breakfast in all of London!

What a gem, recommended to The Villa Cafe and very glad I visited. Friendly and personable service, efficient and very clean and tidy!

OK café for a quick English breakfast or a quick bite. Mind the re-fried of the chips though, might give you indigestion.

Always great service and great food

Really enjoyed the food and the staff were friendly, what more do you need from a local café. I'd definitely recommend it for people looking for a good breakfast in the area.

Really friendly service, good food, good prices... and amazing coffee!!!

Lovely cafe - great selection of food

Been using the Villa cafe for years! Same family so nice to say hi. Great food from full breakfast to Lasagne, marinated chicken and rice or veggie curry. Lots of seats. Good time to go is 10.30 cause they get busy early for breakfast and at lunch time too.

Fantastic service great food very polite friendly staff

Christmas meal, always good this time of year.

Very friendly great service lovely food

Whats not to like, they serve great food, there's lots to choose from, the atmosphere is friendly & relaxed, & nothing is too much trouble.

Used this delightful small cafe whist staying in a hotel across the road, found the food very fresh and excellent choices at a reasonable price and all the staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Will go back.

They have the nicest people to serve you, just for that you should go to that cafe ! Large choice of food, breakfast, lunch, sandwichs, etc.

Lovely cafe great staff and great food

Great bacon sandwich. Nice coffee. Friendly staff. Clean. 5* higene rating.

Nice spacious cafe, enjoyable food. We had a tasty cooked English breakfast and they do takeaway food as well.

Very friendly people and a great place to catch a bite. Clean spacious facility and fast service too! Would definitely return. ☕️

Superb tasty food. Everything from breakfast to mains, desserts and daily specials too. Average pricing but definitely value for money.

Good little cafe. Great for a breakfast or sandwich and basic coffee. Can't complain with what it's offering ! Note you won't find fancy meals or coffee here. This is a bish bosh bash sort of job.

Clean, nice food, nice coffee, cheery staff, good price. What's not to like?

Amazing sandwiches! Highly recommended!
