This was the best dining experience we had during our trip to London. My only regret is that we discovered it on our last morning of our trip, otherwise we would have stopped in every day. This busy cafe serves dine in and take away breakfast and lunch and it was like art in motion to watch the team engage with customers and one another. I should have asked his name, but the person who greeted us- who I assume was the owner- was charismatic, calm, confident and so friendly. He easily greeted customers, directed people to open seats, took orders and relayed them to his team and talked with customers. Even though it was non-stop busy he seemed to seamlessly transition from task to task. Drinks and food were coming out quickly, people were happily chatting and enjoying food and as soon as one table would finish a new set of guests would be seated. As for the actual food and drink- DELICIOUS! They offer all the classics that you'd expect in London and at such an affordable price. You can tell why locals and tourists love it here. We each ordered the V3, mine with a latte and my husband's with a tea. The V3 comes with a fried egg, bacon, sausage, chips, beans and toast. It was a hefty breakfast portion and everything was perfect, from the runny egg to the cook on the bacon and the quality of the sausage. Our drinks were also delicious. As we were enjoying our meal many guests were coming in for dine in and take out and the staff easily helped them all. Even though it's a small establishment, they do an amazing job. They even moved tables together and separated them a few times for bigger and smaller groups- they are a well oiled machine! Again my only regret is not being able to return right away to try more of the menu. So so good!
My son and I had a wonderful breakfast here! The place is a bit hidden, but very worth finding. Sid is such a friendly guy; he makes it worth coming by himself, but the food is also very good. I got a version of a full English breakfast, and my son got a panini, and everything was hot, tasty, and very good portions. The prices are also very reasonable. Absolutely come here if you get a chance!
Very unassuming breakfast spot under a bridge that would be very easy to miss, but a nice option for the area. The food itself is good. There's a wide variety of options and overall everything seemed done fairly well. The sandwich we got was fine, a good portion and the cheese was nice. Not the best in terms of arrangement of ingredients into the focaccia itself. The English breakfast we got was nice, fairly standard but well done. The prices are nice, as well. What really stands out, however, is the service. The main server/cashier/?manager? is lovely. Such a pleasant way to start the morning. Lots of seating options to stay in or easy enough to grab & go.
I had one last breakfast to assign to my trip to London. I had been to some pretty grandiose breakfasts at beautiful places. So I saw this place, a literal hole in the wall, and my interest was peaked. No reservations allowed. Just show up. So I did. It was a quick walk from my hotel room. So I get to this quaint hole and walk in, and the vibe I get is instantly quick service, casual diner. I loved it. We sat somewhere, had a menu passed to us, and started browsing. I can't find a menu online anywhere, but if you look at the pictures, it's plain as to what I got, and the quality was top notch. Seven items on my plate, and a giant stack of toast. Very interactive breakfast with so many bite combinations. Chips and beans, ham and eggs, sausage and mushrooms, all with a bite of crunchy, buttery toast. So much deliciousness at so good of a price. I couldn't believe it. Overall, if you're reading this, yes, you have found your breakfast spot. Come here.
Excellent. Was looking for a place to eat breakfast in the vicinity of the Tower of London. Found this place via Google Maps. Finding it was a bit tricky since my GPS was lagging, but eventually we found it on a back street under a bridge. This is obviously a place locals go to, down to regulars having preferred/reserved tables. Despite being obviously tourists, we got a very friendly greeting. The guy helping us
As other reviewers said, this is a hole in the wall but totally worth it for a quick, tasty breakfast that seemed to be a local spot, way different from the coffee chains popular around the city. Hosts were incredibly nice and took an interest in us as customers. Would definitely go back on my next trip here. Did I mention how good a simple ham and cheese sandwich was?
A modest, humble, delightful place for a proper English breakfast and the absolute best cappuccino I have ever had. The proprietor is friendly and jovial. Wonderful experience.

An incredible little local spot with top-tier English breakfasts. Excellent food, very fair prices, and the family running it couldn't be nicer. Great service and great vibes all around. Highly recommend! read more
Perfect spot for a HEARTY breakfast to keep me full before an 8.5 hour flight! Conveniently located next to where I was staying. Friendliest staff ever! The service here is top notch and brightened my morning. I got the breakfast bap (sausage, bacon, egg, mushroom). Came with three sauces on the side - ketchup, brown sauce, and house made spicy sauce. This was huge, cut into four quadrants, and very tasty (even if it doesn't look like all that much from the picture). I loved it with the brown sauce and especially with the spicy sauce. All the ingredients in the bap were great. Washed it down with an Americano coffee which really hit the spot! I ended up eating half without the top bread in order to finish it. And indeed did not get hungry on my long flight, despite the meh airplane food! read more

The best London breakfast of our entire trip. Finally found a real black coffee made from Italian beans. Skip the coffee chains and enjoy a real drink and authentic British breakfast. Had the panini sandwich today and cannot wait to try the enormous bap tomorrow. read more

This is a great spot to drop by for breakfast! We ordered a couple of paninis (Parm/Brie/sun dried tomatoes & Chicken Escalope, Swiss Chees, Crispy Bacon) both on focaccia. We also had a Devine and V2 English breakfast. The service was friendly and fast & the food was great. The breakfast sausage were cooked perfect with a nice crisp on the casing. Crisps and has brown were also nicely done. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're on the area. A tad hard to find - but they're located under the railway bridge between 2 America Square and The Tower Suites by Blue Orchard hotel. There's a sign with a steaming red coffee mug. read more

When I travel, I pay attention to who is taking care of servicing my parents with the best possible attitude, and that was well provided here at De Vine by the restaurant's owner. In addition, the food was large in portion for highly affordable prices. The baked beans were cooked great, the sandwiches were savory, and the mac and cheese was creamy. Delicious to eat in a cute and clean restaurant hidden in a hole in the wall. read more

After getting up to explore the city at sunrise, I was looking for a good breakfast and coffee open early. Devine popped up and came here because of the good reviews. The staff was wonderful and I can say I was completely satisfied with my breakfast and coffee! Hidden gem for sure :) read more

It is our first day in London, we read a review and decided to come here for our first breakfast in UK. We all got the full Monty. The bacon is absolutely delicious, we all agree that it was the best bacon we have ever had. Eggs were well cooked. Service is quick and super nice. Highly recommended! read more

Saw it had great reviews so I decided to check it out. No regrets! Hospitality was great- the owner seemed to know all of his "regulars" orders as they walked through the door and even recognized one couple who had come in about a year prior! The food was good! Large portions for relatively inexpensive costs. Great atmosphere and close to Tower Hill! Would highly recommend and would come back if town again. read more
