The 15 Best Breakfasts In London - London - The Infatuation

"At The Table Café—a breakfast and lunch spot in Southwark beloved by locals and office workers—hugs are exchanged over huge stacks of toasted bagels with cascading waterfalls of baked beans. Business meetings are all but abandoned as a pancake tower with apricot compote hits the table. It’s a busy, happy place where everything is good but the loaded pancakes are the things to get. It’s hearty, quality stuff—much like the playlist which features a lot (a.k.a. the right amount) of Bryan Adams." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

The Table Café - Review - Southwark - London - The Infatuation

"It’s impossible to be unhappy at The Table Café. The Southwark brunch spot has a menu that’s divided into ‘the benedicts’, waffles and pancakes, fry-ups, and burgers. It’s hearty, quality stuff—much like the playlist which features a lot (a.k.a. the right amount) of Bryan Adams. Hugs are exchanged over huge stacks of toasted bagels with cascading waterfalls of baked beans, and business meetings are all but abandoned as a pancake tower with apricot compote hits the table and demands your undivided attention. It’s a busy, happy place where birthdays are celebrated, parents are taken out for coffee, and you and your work bestie have a meeting about the meeting you just attended. Turns out the equation for happiness is eating thick slabs of halloumi in a Scandi-style canteen—with light, pine-coloured seats, generous swathes of foliage, the odd wildflower—while listening to Summer Of '69 on repeat." - Sinéad Cranna

We ordered the sweetcorn fritter and were pleasantly surprised by how incredibly delicious it turned out to be. Every bite was full of flavour, far exceeding our expectations. On top of that, the service we received from Debora was absolutely outstanding. She was quick, attentive, and carried such a warm smile throughout our visit. Her positive attitude truly added to the whole experience and made us feel genuinely welcomed. 🤍 We’re already looking forward to returning the next time we’re in London — this place has definitely earned a spot on our list of favourites. 😌

It was our first time at The Table and we were served by Debora. She was really helpful and made our experience so very pleasant with recommendations of what we should try. The food was excellent. We had the savoury Brunch club with waffles and the Sweetcorn & Courgette Fritter. Both were super delish & filling ! We will be back again before we head home to Malaysia :)

We had delicious breakfast here. As it was a week day it was not too crowded. The staff is very friendly and the service was really good. The baked beans are home made and very yummy. I also liked the cappuccino with oat milk a lot. We come back!

We were really impressed by The Table! It’s a small, charming restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere and lots of plants that give it a lovely, rustic touch. The menus are colorful and nicely designed, and the staff were all super friendly and attentive. We had The Table Full English — a classic English breakfast and everything was absolutely delicious and served hot. The quality of the food was excellent, and you could really taste that it was freshly prepared. They also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, which is fantastic. Debora was especially knowledgeable and gave me great advice on the gluten-free alternatives available. A big thank you to Debora, who took such great care of us and gave wonderful service and recommendations. :) We can definitely recommend this place — great food, warm atmosphere, and lovely people!

TOTALLY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We didn't have a reservation as it was a last minute decision. They found us a table and suggested one by the window so we could have a view. We ordered the savoury waffles with sides of spinach and mushrooms. and coffee. and left with full bellies. I'm a small eater, so the one main and sides were enough for me and my partner. (The foto here is MY portion only. It was about double this or more - most of the bacon ended up on my partner's plate.)

We visited The Table again today, and once more we were absolutely delighted. The dishes were freshly prepared in the open kitchen, which we really love — it’s such a great and inviting concept. This time, we had the brunch classics: Smoked Ham Hock + Chorizo Hash with Halloumi and an Avocado + Feta Toast with bacon. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server today was Daniel, who double-checked my gluten-free option and made sure everything was just right. He provided excellent service.

Ended up at The Table Café this morning basically because I was starving and couldn’t be bothered to think too hard about where to eat. I just walked in and hoped for the best. I ordered this kinda random mix — avocado toast, a crepe thing, and these three cheesy rectangle things that I still don’t know the name of. Honestly the whole plate looked like I was just pointing at things on the menu, but it actually all slapped way harder than I expected. The avocado toast was actually decent, like fresh and not that weird mushy stuff you sometimes get. The crepe was kinda soft and sweet-ish (I think? I was half awake so don’t quote me), but it tasted really good and I finished it quicker than I meant to. Those cheesy rectangle things though… I have no idea what they’re called but they were weirdly addictive. Like I took one bite thinking “ok this will just be filler” and then suddenly they were gone and I don’t even remember eating the last one. The café itself was chill, nothing fancy or loud. Just normal people eating and staff doing their thing without being in your face. It was just a solid, no-stress breakfast that actually put me in a better mood for the rest of the morning. I’d definitely slide back in if I’m around again.

Fantastic gluten free menu. I had the gluten free table burger which had two beef patties (beautifully seasoned), bacon, home made relish, avocado, fried egg sandwiched between lightly toasted GF seeded bread with a side of fries. It had quite a height to it on the plate and was absolutely delicious. The fries were so good my family finished them off as I struggled to finish them. Accepts contactless payments. I would go again in a heartbeat.
