Breadline Cafe

DO NOT STOP HERE, save your money. we were quickly sat at a table and ordered a soup, fish and chips and an egg sandwich as a family of four. We got handed dirty and VERY greasy glasses with visible stains. then the food came. The soup was fine and tasted fine enough. But the egg sandwich and fish was.. not, the first thing to come was the egg sandwich it was a plane cold piece of white bread with a single egg inside, not even egg salad like they said. We looked and saw they had a toaster, yet our bread was as cold as mentioned in this review. Then the fish… oh lord. The outside was extremely hot and looked fine until you took your second bite, it was cold and looked raw.. definitely not pleasing in the slightest. If you come to london save yourself some time and money and DO NOT stop here.

Stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. They offer a few tables and a couple outside, although with everyone rushing to work it seemed uncomfortable to sit outside. The staff were friendly and the food was quickly served. Again, quick no fuss. There are no restrooms in this restaurant.

We came here because we were passing by and fell in love with the atmosphere of this place. So we ordered and enjoyed the view through the window. The food was amazing, typically made british breakfast, made as it should it be made. Wonderful hot drinks and even better carrot cake. We really recommend eating here, before a day full of sightseeing.

Great location with a cozy atmosphere. The food was tasty and the prices very reasonable. I had the fish and chips and was really happy with my choice – fresh, crispy, and delicious. Definitely recommend!

My 'go to' cafe when I go to the West End. No thrills, but lovely and clean, and does exactly what it says on the tin. Lovely tea, and food is always fresh and clean and well presented. Service is good, staff are helpful and attentive and run this place very well. after i get off the train at Charing Cross, I love to stop here and sit with a cup of tea or 2 and a bite to eat, and watch the world go by just off Trafalgar Square, before I venture further in to town. If you're after a trendy fancy cafe, this is not the place for you. If you're after a clean cafe with prompt service and clean food, then defiantly stop here. A1

We stopped by for a quick English Breakfast on a Saturday and were greeted with lots of open tables! We quickly got our food and were out the door within 20 minutes. A nice easy english breakfast close by attractions!

Delicious food quick service great location by Trafalgar Square. Come get a lovely English breakfast or many other things.

The good - Food was nice and decently priced. Staff were friendly and food was served quickly. The bad - We were told cash only, however subsequently we saw other customers paying by card. We ordered an English breakfast which includes coffee or tea (we picked coffee), and also ordered toast and tea. However, we were charged for English breakfast, toast and coffee just to earn a few extra pence from us (the a la carte coffee is £3.30 while the tea is £2.50). Not sure if we are being picked on because we are Asian tourists.

Small cafe with good food. Service was fast. Great servers who worked together...from taking the order and cleaning the tables. Clean dining areas, both inside and out. We ordered the: English Breakfast: Bacon, Egg, Sausage, Beans & Toast with tea or coffee Very good. Highly recommend.

I has a mum and pop feel to it. Simple sandwiches and breakfast food. Fresh baked cookies and tarts. There's a lot cheaper than my hotel breakfast so I came here to get a breakfast sandwich to start my day. Pretty good location in reference to all the major attractions in town. Customer service was very nice. Plenty of seats inside to sit or you can order your food to take away.

Food was awesome and reasonably priced. I know yelp isn't usually the go-to review place for the UK, but for us visitors it's helpful. We ordered jacket potato w cheese and beans and English breakfast. They came with tea or coffee. We went twice and tried both. They were hot and delicious. Not sure how both of us were able to eat for less than $30 ( yes that's $ not £) but I think it was a great deal considering the hotel wanted 30£ each for their buffet. Don't expect fancy here. It's quick, hot and clean. You'll be on your way fast which is why you're there, right? This is near charing cross road tube and across st from crypt at st Martin's (clean toilets).

Friendly staff, simple and good food served quickly, fair prices. This was a great find. We opted for English bfast and eggs with avocado and toast. No frills - again simple and easy. Would definitely return

We were staying right at Charing Cross and somehow, missed this place until the last day of the trip. I wish we had found it sooner. The service was fast and the price was very reasonable, considering the location. The breakfast offerings felt like what Londoners actually eat for breakfast. There isn't a ton of space to sit, but you could take the food to go, easily.

English breakfast. Cold, hard, and stale. The food was pre-cooked. After the meal, the cashier girl tried to make us pay for the meal with either cash or a debit card with a pin code. No credit card. Word of advice. If yoy want people to pay in cash, post a sign, CASH ONLY. It's that simple. I highly do not recommend this place.

Service was kind and speedy. The food was absolutely delicious. We came around 10:30 on a Saturday and it definitely gets busier. Convenient location right next to The National Gallery.

Cute little shop with some of the fastest service I've seen in Europe! I was looking for traditional English Breakfast and this meal hit the spot. Very centrally located so I would recommend coming here if you are in the area.

Love this place! I had 3 days in London and ate there twice. Breakfast with coffee was 8 quid. Not a lot of seating but I didn't have an issue when I was there before 8AM on weekdays

My family happened by Breadline by accident our first morning in London in August of 2023. We ended up eating breakfast here the next four mornings. The shop is small, and the food is simple, ample, and tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive. Seriously, if you're in London, go here for breakfast.

The guy who took my order was extremely impatient and rude. My food was cold, specifically the bread that my egg lay on which was untoasted for my sausage egg and cheese. There are many better places to go. I will not be returning here.

This cafe was a great stop for lunch. It's just a hole in the wall and probably wouldn't pay it any attention if you past it; however, you need to! The service was great, the place was clean and the food was good. While sitting you could tell that this place was the place where everyone came to on their lunch break. They serve a full English breakfast all day, fish and chips, salad, sandwiches, soup etc... You pay up at the counter and your food is brought to your table. Also, it is right near Trafalgar Square!

On my first visit to London in 1993 I looked for some breakfast. By chance I found Breadline. Since then I come here whenever I visit London. By the friendly atmosphere the day starts well. For breakfast, lunch, dinner or just some snack, there is everything. Especially the chocolate chip cookies are fabulous. The interior has not changed since I came here first and I always look forward to returning to Breadline.

This cafe made me to leave a review for the first time since I have used this app. An old man(seems like a manager here for sure) took my order, and I tried to pay with cash. Since I'm not familiar with paying with pounds, I gave him a dime instead of 50 cents accidentally. And then he said "What is this?" with pointing the coins, quite rudely. Is it really hard to say "Excuse me, you gave me a dime, not fifty cents." instead of "What is this"? Is it too long to say it? I even tried to be very nice when I ordered a coffee BECAUSE I know it is quite stressful to work under busy environment since I have worked in a coffee shop for a long time. But now he just made my day. One funny thing is he was very nice to Caucasian customers, which is not me.

Breadline is a small sandwich shop with reasonable prices, steps away from Trafalgar Square. They have a friendly staff and serve a wide variety of sandwiches, including a very tasty egg salad sandwich. Parking is terrible, but Charing Cross Station is just on the other side of The Strand.
