A great lunch spot where the food is great and so is the staff. The decor is really cool and you can tell the owner puts his/her heart into the place. I'm a regular and love their cappuccinos!

The above is a quote from GB Shaw that was written on the wall of the New London Cafe and it complimented the brilliant breakfast I had today. It really was the best poached egg breakfast I have had and the chef clearly took pride in their job. We stumbled on this cafe today and then looked it up on Trip Advisor after breakfast. We were not surprised at the number of excellent reviews and have no doubt they will keep coming. To be honest we chose it because it was one stop away from Kings Cross Station and a 4 minute walk. That makes it accessible from anywhere in London :) Are you in London and looking for somewhere great for breakfast? Then take virtually any tube to Kings cross, change to the Victoria line and go one stop to Highbury & Islington Station. You won't regret it.

The family was looking for a stop on a road trip and this place came up with high reviews for a quick bite with a nice breakfast menu. It is right off the highway before entering into Hartford. The menu was great and fairly priced. We got pancakes, french toast, eggs, home fries, bacon, and a bagel to split. Everything was made to order and delicious. The pancakes were huge and fluffy. Awesome wait staff and very accommodating to a family with three little girls. The atmosphere was great. Everything was perfectly clean including their bathroom.

Love that there are a few different vegetarian options and is a great little spot walkable to the colt area. Awesome iced coffee.
