Kafeteria

This place looked great. Food looks like it’d be good. We stopped in for breakfast though and missed the cutoff by 15 minutes. So we decided to go next door since it serves breakfast all day, thinking we’d come back to Kafeteria when we were in the mood for lunch. But as we walked out, the guy behind the counter got angry we were leaving and made some snide remarks. The place clearly needs to work on their service. The place next door was lovely by the way… very attentive, making sure we were comfortable and happy.

Finally, a good selection of fresh tasty salads. You’ll be seeing more of my face now for sure. My mate had the burrito and rated it too.
Service is quick. Food good value for money.
Most importantly, the coffee is real good.
Looking forward to sitting in your garden bit at the back next time.
Thanks

There is no shortage of sandwich quick stops in this particular offshoot of the Old Street roundabout…
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.

food is standard and not exceptional — the place next door is a little bit better.

This place is like Ronseal ‘It does exactly what it says on the tin’. Quick, efficient and good quality — especially their soups.
Bonus is outdoor terrace at back — not the best looking but off any road. Service can be a tad surly but honest and good value.
