Great fry up for only 9. Service was friendly and they were very accommodating for substitutes on the fry up which can be rare! They also do paninis, sandwiches, main meals etc all for very cheap prices. Highly recommend

Passed by early morning while all the other places was still closed. Took cappuccino take away and was happy to discover great coffee for under 4 and great customer service! On my way out realised that clients who ordered breakfast got massive plates, must be heaven for some :) What's not to like?

What can I say, woke up in need of a fry up and sams caf called my name. Instantly walked in to a warm greeting from the staff. Within 10 minutes of ordering our food was delivered to us. Only down side was there was no tomato on the plate, however I was pleasantly surprised to notice no mushrooms (mushroms arent nice). I like to follow a philosophy of the triple P (pre poop preparation) and this coffee was superb in clearing out my system after 1 beer turned into 20 the night before. Cheers sam cheers

Absolutely unreal. Great service on a bank holiday monday! I asked for takeaway as the wife was still in bed. The Sam’s staff wrapped everything up in a way it wouldn’t spill or spoil anything - delicious omelette and egg sausage bap. Will be coming back every time i’m near.

Fantastic. Came here looking for the traditional breakfast and found multiple options. Food was delicious. Staff was friendly. Ate outside on the street. Couldnt have asked for a better start to our first day in London. Price was about 70% of what you would expect to pay in the US.
