Mel’s Café in London

"Day trip to London to collect a vehicle. Random craving on the train up - Eggs Benedict. Didn’t want posh nosh or a massive bill for lunch by myself, just wanted good quality Eggy B at a reasonable cost, and that’s exactly what I got. Absolutely spot on, perfect little greasy spoon café with a varied menu. It’s a winner. £8 with a cuppa. Can’t fault it."

"I ordered the eggs benedict with avocado and was really good and went again the next day. Small but nice place. Would recommend."

"It was a place we stopped at for coffee, and I think their food is pretty good too. It's a charming establishment near The Den Stadium. They have staff of Turkish origin. They are quite attentive..."

"Nice breakfast location short walk from Southwark parkrun. Good full English breakfast with nice hash browns (crispy on the outside) and some nicely done eggs. Hot beverage and good amount of toast included. Credit cards accepted"

"We spent a week in London in August 2025. We decided to try this place because it was close to our accommodation and we wanted to try a full English breakfast. The staff is very kind, the atmosphere is cozy and authentic. The breakfast was delicious (full house and traditional breakfast). We liked it so much that we went back for breakfast on our last day. Thank you for the experience! Oh, and the owner recognized us the second time, which was very kind and a nice touch. :)"

"Great Big Breakfast. Another price-worthy place for all travellers staying in airbmb nearby. Filling and reasonable price. Highly recommended for all."

"This is our local café and it's more than just a place to eat—it’s a little slice of home. From the moment you step inside, the owners greet you with warmth, making every visit feel like a return to a familiar, comforting space. It reminds me of my auntie’s café when I was growing up, where good food and genuine hospitality were always guaranteed. The food here is simply delicious. We usually come for lunch, and their English breakfast is a staple for me—cooked perfectly every time. My partner swears by their grilled chicken with chips and a fresh mixed salad, a well-balanced and satisfying dish. Beyond the food, the service is lovely. The staff are attentive, friendly, and always ensure you have everything you need. It’s rare to find a place that combines quality food with such a welcoming atmosphere, but this café does it effortlessly. If you're looking for a spot with comforting food at good prices, excellent service, and a touch of nostalgia, this café is definitely worth a visit!"

"Great café for breakfast - good prices and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!"
