Family run, cosy, eat-in or takeaway Cafe which makes quality fresh-to-order meals, sandwiches, kebabs and burgers. Their menu has a good selection and all cooked food is done by a very competent chef. My choice was a cooked breakfast - Sausage, Egg, Hash Brown, Mushrooms, grilled Tomato, Halloumi cheese, Beans and Toast. Meal sizes are generous. It was delicious and cooked to perfection. I ordered an Americano coffee, which was also made well and tasted of great coffee. Their eat-in area is planned well to maximise space, it's clean, comfortable and they provide daily newspapers for customers to read while in the café. There's a good selection of cold drinks you can choose from the fridge yourself. Staff are friendly and give the Cafe a homely feel. It's situated just off the main road around the corner from main shops making it that bit quieter to enjoy your meal while being able to witness the hustle & bustle from afar through the windowed front. Easy walking distance to nearby bus stop (329, W6 buses) and on street carparking too.

Lamb Kleftico. Half Pounder with cheese, egg and grilled onions. Pork chop, mash, 2 fried eggs and gravy. Proper food prepared by the legend himself, Harry the chef.

This morning I visited this breakfast spot, and I am delighted! Delicious coffee, aromatic and perfectly prepared – a great start to my day. Plus, the English breakfast – simply amazing! Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and just the right portion. And all of that at an excellent price! I will definitely come back and highly recommend it to everyone!
