There is no shortage of sandwich quick stops in this particular offshoot of the Old Street…read moreroundabout... In fact, there are about 3-4 in a row, on both sides...making for about 8 places to grab your coffee, bagel or quick lunch within a 1 street stretch. I wonder how they all make it!? I've been to Kafeteria twice now and I am satisfied with it. It's not "out of this world" but it is sufficient, the service prompt and friendly and I've been on my way with a bagel in hand without incident. Most recently over the weekend I was craving a toasted bagel with egg and bacon, and that is precisely what I received. Their weekend business is a bit slower (they don't pre-make as many things, as the worker bee lunch crowds are not around) but they'll whip you up what you like. They've got a massive chalkboard with all the options to select from and a cooler full of cold drinks. IN the summer, their patio is quite legit for a small lunch place, do check it out. There is plentiful picnic table seating as well, making this a nice spot to catch up on the news or just rest your weary self and recharge from battling Old Street for a bit. A solid sandwich stop. Nothing fancy, but it does the trick. *organic coffee (does differentiate them from the other shops nearby!) *Cash only. *£2.50 minimum for eat-in lunchers.

This place is disgusting! I'm so angry I don't know where to begin…read more First of all, to order I got the "Set 5" which included eggs, 3 hashbrowns, beans, and mushrooms (I substituted the mushrooms for tomatoes instead). This was under the vegetarian menu as I don't eat eat FYI. So what had happened was there is more than one Set 5 on the menu so when my food arrived I had ham, sausage, and some nasty ass black thing on my plate which was blood pudding or whatever (ew). So I asked why I got sausage and ham with my meal and he said everything comes with it so I said OK. As I didn't want to make a fuss, I picked the meat off my plate and put it to the side. When he came back around I asked where my hashbrowns were and he said my meal didn't come with hashbrowns and I said yes it did and I pointed to it on the menu. He then proceeded to tell me I got the other Set 5 because I didn't clarify. First of all, I pointed to my order on the menu when he initially took it. Second of all, when I questioned why I had meat on my plate that should've been his second clue. Third of all, if there is more than one Set 5 on the menu it's your job as the server to clarify which one, it's not my job as a customer to read the whole menu to make sure there aren't meals with the same name. When it was time to cash out now, I was charged for the Set 5 that came with meat which was £5.70 unlike my vegetarian meal that was supposed to cost £4. We fought about it for a bit and I told him it was not my job to read the whole menu and he should've clarified which Set 5 I was referring to although it was quite obvious. I also told him that it's not my job to read the whole menu before I order, if I see something I want to order then I'm going to order it, it's that simple. And to add on, the beans were disgusting! They were clearly dumped into a pot from a can and heated up--BARF! He never even asked me how I wanted my eggs which is weird because there's so many different types of ways to make eggs, you can't just assume I want it how you make them. Needless to say the food was disgusting and the service was even worse so I'd never in a million years come back here again. Even if I were on my deathbed and this was the only food on earth left known to man, I'd never eat this food. This server should also take a course on how to f*****g deal with people and how to stop being a royal d**k. I would've rated this place 0 stars but it's not an option so I had to settle for 1 star.

This place will not disappoint and will serve you breakfast all day in a great delicious way. I've never really been a huge tea person but the way that they make the tea here is quite nice and I didn't even need sugar like back in the states. The staff was quite FAST and pleasant in every way. The walk was pretty short from The Regency hotel and staying in south Kensington seems to have been a pretty good and affordable choice. When I return to London I will definitely be coming back here. Absolutely excellent! And FREE WIFI! Woohoo!

Executive summary: Better than you'd think…read more Stopped here during that uncomfortable time when all the pubs are closed between lunch and dinner. I had a cheese burger and my companion had a chili con jacket potato. The burger was nothing too special (thin, fried patty, no fixin's, processed cheese) but it was fairly tasty. Nice touches included grilled onions and a toasted bun. The jacket potato was HUGE with lots of chili. The chili was ok. It was definitely better than I expected (there were even visible chunks of tomato!). More depth of flavour than I would have expected at this sort of place and a nice spicy-hot finish. Staff were friendly and helpful. The burger was less than 2 pounds and the potato was less than 4. The kebabs and donairs (or doners as they were spelled on the menu) looked very tasty, but they were more than we wanted to spend. Tasty and cheap.

Last night I had a dream...a rather wet dream about the ginger-lime chicken at Anfa Café. In fact,…read moreI woke up with a spot on my pillow from the saliva I'd been producing in excess! Yes, it's really that good. And what is more: the people who work here are just so friendly that a visit to Anfa Cafe is now part of my weekly routine. If you're really hungry, I recommend you get the chicken on a salad, which comes with tasty hummus and grilled pita bread (a giant portion for a mere £4.50). If you're less hungry, you might want to go for the version where they stuff it all in a pita bread. But also for vegetarians, Anfa Café is a match made in heaven - their grilled-halloumi sandwich is quite yummy.

Now on to the incredibly unfortunate part: My breakfast. I ordered the Lebanese breakfast plate, which is avocado toast zhuzh'd up with hummus, fresh cream, feta, eggs, and purple cabbage (yes, the addition of this brassica should have been a red flag). What I got was a cute turquoise plate with a mound of what was my order covered in bright pink sludge masquerading as hummus. I'm guessing the chef thought that pink hummus would be an inventive choice against the plate color? Aside from the color, the taste was horrific and most-definitely not homemade. Hummus is at its core essence a 4-ingredient situation (chick peas, water, tahini, lemon juice) but this tasted like only the first two items were used). Underneath my "hummus" was a shed load of boiled cabbage and the lightest of smatterings of old brown avocado which tasted like avocado when it's gone brown and should, therefore, be binned. So two stars for the quaint ambiance and take my warning seriously and steer clear of what I ate. Hopefully, their other offerings are better.

With just half an hour to spare before it closed (it's only open till 3pm) we sped to the restaurant to find it bustling with customers. The menu is extensive with what must be around 50 items including a specials menu and loads of veggie options. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich (£6.50) which was dripping with a ridiculous amount cheese. The order also came with a pot of slightly salty tomato soup to dip the sandwich in. Overall the breakfast club has amazing hangover food in a homely environment. Portion sizes are huuuuge too!
