The Workers Cafe in Islington

Lazy and incompetent waiter......my mineral water came in 20 mins having ordered the main meal. Meal was particularly dull. Don't bother.

Workers Cafe is more than just a place to grab a coffee. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, with a cozy vibe and you’ll often see people attending one of the events they host such as open mic nights, there’s always something going on, creating a real sense of community. The staff are very warm and welcoming.

Got fried egg, not scrambled eggs but everything nice

Extremely poor service. Coffees took over 30 minutes to arrive. Waitress kept forgetting items (missing breakfast items, missing cutlery even though we asked multiple times, had to go up to the counter for milk for our coffees as never arrived).

missing items!!! No answer on phone to resolve. Had to call just eat for a refund!

Leckeres Full English Breakfast

they continuously send the delivery with missing items and then refuse to answer the phone. This has happened multiple times and seems to be a habit. Poorly run cafe. Taking peoples money and not making an effort to deliver what was paid for

missing items nearly everytime i place an order with them qnd they continuously refuse to answer phonecalls qnd take any responsibility for their mistakes or offer any resolutions. Terrible service!

They pay attention to details and order notes 10/10 service

It was so nice breakfast. Nice staff. Definitely I will come back again ✨

We came in for lunch & the burger was delicious!!! Definitely gonna come back again soon. thank you 🤞🏻

Great food!! Great staff…. My panini and salad was sooook tasty!!! A lil pricey but worth every penny

Great food - extensive menu. Offered us a high chair and were very accommodating to our pram. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant itself has steps but has outdoor seating at the front which is accessible.

lovely portions and hot.. a great breakfast 😋

We had an amazing food experience. The combinations of taste and textures are really good. One of my favourite place to eat in London.

One of the best places in north london for a breakfast. Friendly service, good food and a nice atmosphere. Also dog friendly which is a plus for us too.

Nice place. Decent portions, food was ok.

My favourite restaurant. Foods are delicious.

My first time at the cafe and I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and especially the service. Pelin really looked after our table. Can't fault it. ⭐ The strawberry macaron was very very nice 🙂

We travelled from Suffolk to attend a wedding at Islington Town Hall. The location of the cafe was ideal. It was an extremely enjoyable visit with lovely food and friendly helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Love this spot. Amazing coffee and the sweetest staff. Also super dog friendly; me and my pooch live around the corner and come by all the time!

Really nice spot excellent atmosphere and the food was excellent for a good price

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, great events & art supporter venue at perfect location! 😍

Excellent servis, food and atmosphere.

Great coffee, ambiance, and great art inside. Owners were kind.

A cafe with a very nice and peaceful atmosphere. I had spaghetti bolognese and it was excellent.

Great place at the heart of isligton!

Google states the cafe is open from 08:00hrs arrived around 08:10hrs! Staff outside smoking, no good morning, had to ask if they were open as there was no one serving. Was told to take a seat as they had a late night, so we're late setting up, yet by 08.50hrs all they could mange was two flat whites both tasted like weak lattes. Complete waste of time, what happened to the 10/10 service you use to get @Workers Cafe. Went to Chapel Market all cafes operating at times advertised.

Amazing Macarons and Coffee. Thanks for the great service👍🏼

The number of appetizers is a little less, but the atmosphere is not bad, thank you. Appetizer prices are a bit high.

This place does it all! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and even live music shows on weekends. The food was great, definitely recommend!

My favourite place love all of them❤️!

The order hasn't been delivered

Popped in here after the Foo Fighters the night before. Really welcoming and a great vibe. Breakfast was excellent and could not fault the service. Fully recommend!! 👏👏👏

Even if you buy a coffee to go, they charge service charge. So check your receipt.

Great place to have a chat with your friends, lovely coffees 🤩🥳

Great service and good food. Enjoyed the chilled vibe. Staff were really attentive during our time. The food was reasonably priced and was filling. Loved the pizza. Will definitely return when in the area.

Breakfast overcooked. Coffee lukewarm. Too expensive for what it is.

Good restaurant if you want a standard breakfast, reasonable price £10, including tea

Decent food, coffee was nice and hot

I like the De Lux Mediterranean but I don't think the jam works. Even the olives feel a bit out of place. But nevertheless its a tasty breaky. The french toast is tasty and simple

Our friends were playing live at this café, we came with our own drinks but still ordered drinks for each of us at this café cuz we didn’t wanna be rude. However as we were sitting inside the café, one of the staff/ owners approached and informed us that we brought drinks from outside of their café. He made it very awkward and confusing by not offering any resolution. So we moved outside and decided to get ready to leave once our friend was done packing — Hadn’t he made us feel super uncomfortable, we would’ve ordered more drinks and food as we were planning to. Surprisingly, the same staff approached us two more times when we were sitting outside, whilst the rest of the male stuff were sitting nearby our table and eyeing on us. All of these made us feel extremely uncomfortable at this point (we are a group of young girls), since again, after we had put away and stopped drinking from our own drinks, he didn’t offer any resolution and was repeating himself over and over. Therefore, we will never return again, and DO NOT COME as this is not a safe space for young girls / Asians

Amazing venue for food drink and sometimes live music!!! Check it out

The service is great I had so much fun in this place

Good spot with outdoor seating, was people watching at the wedding across the road. It’s a shame with the food you don’t get what’s on the menu. Instead of 2 sausages you get two slices of one sausage, half a portobello mushroom instead of the whole one. No toast accompanies the med breakfast. Very greedy and you don’t get any value for what you pay for. Disappointed.

Absolutely top notch. Marvellous breakfast / brunch - the eggs were perfect! Great service too.

We eat here far too much, our local cafe. No ordinary worker’s cafe! An extensive menu, fresh home made food with a friendly service. Ordered this super healthy brunch ‘Angus Special’ and their delicious shakshuka.

Amazing food, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff

perfect place, amazing food, really cute people!

Amazing food and atmosphere, friendly service and and exceptional time :)

Menu said with Hash browns but had none. Portion overall was small.

An excellent full English breakfast.

i went with my girlfriend. it was my birthday. they give me free prosecco and dessert. manager was very kind and food was amazing. i ate burger steak baguette it was definitly amazing. and i highly recommend coctail STRAWBERRY DAIQUIR..

Such a good find! The menu has something for everyone, more specifically healthy options too if you're on a diet (like me). GF, VE etc. I like that the food isn't ultra processed and that it's made from scratch.

it was a pleasure being here, the food and service was also amazing, so was the music, an appropriate place for family and friends, would definitely recommend!

good food, service and atmosphere

Workers cafe is a little jem, so happy to have found it, the food is great and atmosphere is the kind of place you want to stay and hang out all evening. Really looking forward to going back and checking out their regular gigs, apparently they do everything from comedy nights, rock nights, open mic nights and everything inbetween.

We had an amazing time everyone was so helpful and friendly

One of the best experiences I've had food was great owner treats you as family will definitely recommend, and service is beyond expectation

Excellent cafe, lovely staff, quick service, great atmosphere.

The best coffee shop I have ever been! You must try the pizza burrata!

Came in on my own on a Friday evening, and was not disappointed in the slightest! I was made to feel really welcome for live music and a coffee. Portions of the starters are fantastic. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect. Thank you so much 🌸

Just tried out this awesome British breakfast joint in Islington, and I gotta give a shoutout to Bilal for being my visit extra nice.

No frills straightforward healthy menu. Everything was very fresh and very tasty. The staff is very friendly. We felt like we were in our home. Most definitely recommend it.

Best breakfast 🧇 organic coffee ☕️ live music 🎶 Fresh pasta 🍝 Fresh pizza 🍕 wine 🍷 beer 🍻 cocktails 🍹 mock tails 🍸Brunch Lunch Dinner. Cheaper than many places and they don’t do frozen foods. Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. Also wraps, panini and sandwiches

We had a nice dinner at workers cafe. Decent service, fresh food . Lively jazz music. More than a cafe. Definitely will come back!

Great food and best price. Lovely place, nice live music, pizza burger beer wine we had it all and pay 20 per person. Thank you

I came on a Sunday evening for my friend's birthday, she had a Spoken Word night. It is a great venue, cozy, lovely, friendly staff. I had a very nice rich chocolate brownie.

Was there for an open mic which was fantastic

Amazing coffee. It’s definitely unusual. It was a fantastic organic coffee. I heart they do live music in this cozy cafe and I’m looking forward to sing on open mic day. Definitely recommend.

We had mocha and tea before matinee at the Almeida. Live mellow jazz trumpet on Sunday early afternoon. Friendly and good humored staff, great atmosphere. My new favorite café.

Extremely good food, cozy place and super nice staff. Totally recommend 😊

Food was amazing. Excellent service waiters were so nice and help with everything.

Lovely place, recommended to everybody

Whether I'm seeking a quiet moment alone or lively entertainment with friends, it's the perfect spot. The friendly staff and delicious treats only add to the delightful experience.

Upon entering Workers Coffee, I was immediately struck by the cozy, inviting atmosphere. The interior boasted a rustic charm with exposed brick walls, wooden tables, and soft lighting, creating a warm and welcoming space perfect for both quick coffee runs and long, leisurely visits.

Lovely place, great food and chai, very nice staff. I came here to work and it was a great space for that

My sisters and I love this cafe. It’s ideal for when you fancy something simple, fresh and delicious. Lovely ambiance and great lunch!!
