Love this place. If you understand how the world has changed for the worse (neoliberal capitalism) then this place is the antidote, very reasonably priced, hilariously the full English breakfast is £1 cheaper that its vegetarian sibling. But it's the atmosphere that is priceless, very local orientated. The apple pie is homemade, so good with a generous helping of custard. Glorious.

Lovely little greasy spoon. They should get vegetarian sausages!! Then I would probably come every day.

One of the finest cafes I’ve visited in London. This is a warm, friendly, family-run establishment who have never failed in service and kindness. The lady who works here, Roza, is so helpful and kind, and never fails to put a smile on people’s faces. This cafe is truly the gem of Kilburn and if you haven’t visited, I urge you to!

Great local caff that's always got a few characters in. Staff are friendly and polite and always remember your name. Some excellent paintings by a customer of the cafe and other local sites. Fantastic chicken curry which has kept me going through the lock down.
