The Workers Cafe in Islington

Absolutely delightful experience! I had the pleasure of dining here recently and was thoroughly impressed. The food was nothing short of exceptional – beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service was equally outstanding; the staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. The atmosphere was cosy yet elegant, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed evening out. I genuinely enjoyed every moment and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Nice , casual place for quick bite . Polite and efficient service . Food tasted very nice and fresh

Great cafe with excellent friendly service

The food was good, the tiramisu were beautiful but didn't taste very good. The waitresses were not really pleasant though, no smile, cold.

Amazing eaterie. Went along with my 3 grandkids for brunch .Staff so friendly. Food fabulous 👌

Great breakfast in what feels like a family run establishment

We went there for breakfast on a Sunday morning. One of the few places opening early in the area. Many choices sweet, savory and even both. As an Italian I can say that the cappuccino did not make me regret ours at all. Really good, as is everything else. I had breakfast with the London Breakfast with the addition of toasted and buttered bread (gluten-free option). My friends opted for sweet and savory pancakes. All very satisfied. Prices adequate for the rest of the places.

They have the best food and the ambience is so nice ❤️ I love this cafe I love to eat their pancakes, meatballs, pizza and pasta. I like their coffee and smoothies ❤️❤️😍😍😍 I recommend it to everyone ❤️❤️

We ate a delicious penne carbonara and meatball menu in this beautiful restaurant. Apart from the food, the service was too fast and everyone was too helpful and friendly. We also liked the colorful atmosphere with the lights, and posters around. The restrooms were really clean as well.

While the service was great, we were pretty disappointed with the food itself. The hollandaise on the eggs benedict did not taste homemade and rather out of a store bought package. The Mushrooms on the full English breakfast also seemed out of a tin and not fresh and the overall portion of scrambled eggs was pretty small for the price paid. We had high hopes for a local café but will not come back based on the food experience.

Everything is very good, I recommend it for breakfast

Delicious food, incredible atmosphere and nice music there’s also turkish events for turks in the area searching for fun night events. Loved the künefe it was AMAZINGG. Also had pasta with chicken it was really delicious. The owner is a really kind man and he was delightful. The staff were also quite sweet. Overall, would recommend to everyone. özellikle türkleree ❤️❤️

I've been there a few times during the day when it was a cafe and the food was very good, I've also been there a few times at night as a bistro and entertainment venue, I love the entertainment that is organized in this venue, especially their DJ was really good, I hope they continue like this, I can honestly say that it is the best venue in Islington and the surrounding area.

Didn’t deliver half of our order, missed the main part - the full English breakfast, and still charged us the full amount

It has a great atmosphere, I recommend it to everyone.

Very nice atmosphere and lovely people. Thank you for all delicious food and service 👏

Everything was perfect. Thank you very much for your service. I definitely recommend it!

It is a favorite of both locals and tourists. When you add its peaceful, calm and modest atmosphere to the flavor bomb dishes on its multi-alternative menu, it becomes an ideal location for brunch, breakfast and dinner. Also, the owners and staff are very kind and hospitable people.

really welcoming and accommodating! would come again!

Food was absolute trash no salt on seasoning didn’t listen to dietary requirements

Fantastic as always thanks so much for the treat! ❤️

food is not great quality for what you pay for. not enough hollandaise sauce and egg had run everywhere, if you are paying for egg Benedict there should be an adequate amount of hollandaise sauce

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.

Unfortunately, the top had come off the vegetable mousaka, and had spilled everywhere

Quality of food is always good, unfortunately the 2nd time whereby an ingredient was missing. The first time, ordered sausage, bacon and egg but no sausage, didn't complain, these things happen. However, ordered sausage AND bacon bap, received just sausage bap.

poor customer service. continuously send the wrong items and refuse to communicate or rectify.

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 ✨

41 rakı 41 delicious meze 🌟 lovely atmosphere with live music 🎶 thanks for good vibes. We will be back soon

I created my own breakfast. It was lovely and great service :)

Lovely environment, precious staff. Cozy place as well as they have stage for the performers. Well recommended!

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

Great staff, perfect atmosphere

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 😋

Nice place. Decent portions, food was ok.

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.

My favourite restaurant. Foods are delicious.

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

Best place for dating. Affordble prices, great service and delicious food. Thank you for everything.

Definitely recommended. That’s the best place for your family. Helpful and polite people. Great service and delicious food. Thank you for all.

That's the place I love it in Islington. You can find everything you want. Friendly people, fast service, polite customers, fresh food, organic coffee. I can say many more things but I leave it in your discovery :) highly recommended.

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 🙂

Great food, extensive menu and great service

Very cosy, delicious food, friendly staff and amazing service!!

excellent service and delicious food many thanks.👍👍👍

It was an amazing experience 👏 thank you for all and great thanks to pizza chef 👏👏

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.

Excellent servis, food and atmosphere.

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

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

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👍🏼

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

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

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

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

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

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.

good food, service and atmosphere

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!

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

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

Amazing atmosphere thank you 💙🎶

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.

Our favourite place for a weekend lunch. Big serves, great food and wonderful staff. Thanks Billy!
