8 Caffe

Wonderful full English breakfast for a really great price! I always have breakfast here when I’m in London!

Lunch in Paddington is no longer a boring affair! 8 Caffe has been around for awhile, but this was my first trip, and I couldn’t believe I’d never heard of it or tried it before then.
When you walk in, you’ll find a pasta bar, a number of paninis, quiches, and other options. I went for a panini, but my colleagues all went for pasta. You can choose just about any type of pasta and any type of sauce — so be experimental or extravagant, I’m sure you’ll find something you like.
Everything was incredibly fresh, and my panini was perfect. I can’t wait to go back and try some pasta or the lasagna, which looked pretty incredible.

I live 3 mins from this place and always dismissed this Place for a touristy place. But in reality this is a simple place that serves good Italian food made from fresh ingredients. Had an awesome tomato and cheese panini that came with a salad. Nothing over the top. But that was the best. Simple, good food in a clean place and managed by simple people.

Very decent café. Prices are alright (for london) and quality is not too shabby. Came in for breakfast — there’s discounts if you stay at the Tune hotel next door. No full English — there’s plenty of that in the vicinity though. Quiches and sandwiches are de rigeur, as well as a simple continental breakfast spread.
(edit: they do have a full English breakfast, and it is well tasty. Portion was a bit big for missus and I, to eat on our own, but just right for us to share — that said we have small appetites so if you’re a hungry hippo this should be just right)
My quiche was thick and fluffy, pastry was crisp. Came with a generous helping of salad on the side. Missus had a smoked salmon sandwich, but the salmon felt a bit soft and squishy for her.
Coffee was passable — a touch watery for my liking, but it did the job.
Service was prompt and cheery, surprising given the complaints on another review platform. Smile and the world smiles with you, I always say.
Would not hesitate to visit for breakfast again if I were staying at the hotel.

So, I’ve just started working in the Marylebone area and stumbled upon this gem yesterday, while going on a leisurely lunchtime stroll. it’s an absolute gem, so reasonably priced for the area and the food is to die for. Yesterday I sampled a lovely vegetable quiche with green salad and was shocked to find it was only £3.50. I will certainly be visiting again to sample some of the other lovely delights they have to offer.
