I enjoyed a business breakfast here recently- they use good quality sausages, everything was piping hot and tasted good - small gripe they could crisp up the bacon a little more but it still tasted good. It’s a very clean and a well established cafe. Constructive criticism - the sauces could be replaced with branded varieties eg HP and Heinz and there was no English mustard. But a tasty good value belly busting breakfast for under a tenner each. They serve real coffee which is a winner for me. Maria is a bubbly friendly front of house waitress and Sofia and her husband cook a mean breakfast - efficient and helpful. Thank you if this review helped, please like and follow me and I will follow you back!

Nice little cafe. We had 7 lunches in a row last week as working in the area. On some days it tool longer than other for food to arrive, but always good. Some vegetarian fussy eaters options were not available but still managed to feed us well. Very nice decor. Polite and friendly service. Loved their healthy smooties

Absolutely fantastic full English breakfast. Stuffed and very happy, and the people running this cafe are lovely and friendly. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

This is simply the BEST cafe within Bromley, Chislehurst and Petts Wood. I have tried them all and this is hands down the best by far. The little things stand out for me, the salad you get with the omelette is stunning with deep red tomatoes which you get abroad in spain or greece full of flavour. Even comes with beetroot and a touch of coleslaw which is nice. I will be back for sure! 10/10
