Workers Cafe

We eat here far too much, our local cafe. No ordinary worker’s cafe! An extensive menu, fresh home made food with a friendly service. Ordered this super healthy brunch ‘Angus Special’ and their delicious shakshuka.

Great service and good food. Enjoyed the chilled vibe. Staff were really attentive during our time. The food was reasonably priced and was filling. Loved the pizza. Will definitely return when in the area.

Good spot with outdoor seating, was people watching at the wedding across the road. It’s a shame with the food you don’t get what’s on the menu. Instead of 2 sausages you get two slices of one sausage, half a portobello mushroom instead of the whole one. No toast accompanies the med breakfast. Very greedy and you don’t get any value for what you pay for. Disappointed.

It was a place I discovered when I came to the event in the hall just opposite. The friendly staff made me feel comfortable, we tried the burger that day and I was very pleased. I visited at least 7-8 times afterwards and tried to try different things each time. The pizza, which was recently added to the menu, really connected me to the place. I am constantly looking for flavour and I highly recommend it. Please continue to work so devotedly. 🙏🏼

Amazing coffee. It’s definitely unusual. It was a fantastic organic coffee. I heart they do live music in this cozy cafe and I’m looking forward to sing on open mic day. Definitely recommend.

Stepping into this cozy place, I'm immediately enveloped in warmth and relaxation. The inviting ambiance, freshly brewed coffee, and live music create a haven for me. Whether I'm seeking a quiet moment alone or lively entertainment with friends, it's the perfect spot. The friendly staff and delicious treats only add to the delightful experience.

Such a good find! The menu has something for everyone, more specifically healthy options too if you're on a diet (like me). GF, VE etc. I like that the food isn't ultra processed and that it's made from scratch.

MUST TRY PIZZAS! They make hand-made pizzas and all of crispy-delicious! I’m as a local at Highbury area and Workers is top of my place. Definitely reccomended.

Great hearty breakfast in a nice atmosphere and served with care. Excellent selections. I'd recommend.

Came by for the breakfast which was meh at best . What made the place less than fun was the rather cold service . It was convenient though on Upper Street

The portion sizes were huge and there was a variety of sets to choose from. Also, the kinder bueno milkshake tasted amazing. The workers were very friendly and accommodating

I had the full English breakfast and a coffee. Service was good and the server was helpful in helping us with the order. Everything on my plate was cooked well including the eggs as I had ordered them sunny side up. Coffee was okay, nothing special. Ambiance was lively and you can tell that a lot of locals come here for breakfast. Room was full of students, construction workers, and people in business attire. Definitely casual like a living room.

Worker's Cafe is actually a decent enough breakfast, despite what the name might suggest. My boyfriend loves a builder's cafe because they remind him of diners in the U.S. so this one was right up his street. We popped in for a total hangover cure and it definitely hit the spot. They serve all day breakfasts and some other cafe specials like baked potatoes and paninis. Standard fare. They did have pancakes and waffles on the menu but we decided on two English breakfasts. You can get them with a whole variety of options and extras. Just the way I like it. Mine came with a side of hash browns and halloumi. Each £5.99 basic breakfast comes with coffee and toast. Great value! The place was pretty busy so it's clearly a local favourite. It's staffed with family and lots of friendly faces. Good choice if you are after a very filling and inexpensive meal.

I've just came into the cafe today and honestly it's not worth it. Customers come to cafes like this because they want to eat, not eat and be neglected. This is what happened: I ordered the English breakfast and It said on the menu "all served with tea or coffee and crusty buttered toast." So an hour later, i didn't get my toast or my coffee on time so this is why I gave the cafe this review. Customers deserve what is right not to be neglected and cast to one side.

One of the best for price places I have found in London. It's not ever going to win a Michelin Star but the food is good size, quick, the service is good and it is cheap, cheap, cheap. I doubt you could cook it at home for the amount you pay. Well done guys.

It doesn't look very special from the outside, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how large and relaxed the interior was! Super friendly staff, fancy coffee included in the breakfast set and fair prices. And the food was tasty too! Only downside is the music, a bit loud (or am I getting old?) and not really my taste.

This is a 'greasy spoon' cafe in the heart of Upper street, where the food isn't really that greasy! It is exactly what is says on the tin, all the usual suspects are served here. I usually have some sort of fry-up when I'm here. The bacon is stand-out good. However the eggs are never runny ( I cant give more than 3* for that!) The prices are a little higher than most other spoons in the area- but Im sure that the Upper street rents for you. The staff are SO friendly, efficient. Its a really nice real place to eat in the deluge of chains that swamp Upper Street, with real people serving real food you can see them cooking and smell it! There's a TV showing news and plenty of newspapers to peruse while you are waiting for food. Also there is a little bit of outside seating space on the pavement to watch the bustle of Upper Street. A very reliable option.

Simple food, good service, busy cafe. pricy but nice, portions have got smaller though!!

As ever big portions and reliable service. Great spot to bump into old Council worker mates and cronies! oh the gossip in here

I walked in here on a complete whim. I'm so glad I did! On a chilly, rainy night, the minced beef pie, peas, and mash were the perfect comfort food. And it didn't cost much more than a pint I'd gotten at a pub earlier in the day. So cheap! Plus, the staff are very friendly. Definitely worth checking out.

This is a brilliant cafe. The food is good, honest and involves big portions. They even have nice coffee and cakes. A haven from all the overpriced rubbish available on Upper Street. Plus the menu is enormous and the staff are really nice. Oh, and they sell booze!

I visited this place when I was in London going to a jewellers that is close by. No nonsense, cosy, warm and the fry-ups are just as you would want them - hearty and not too greasy. They even do good coffee. Lovely.
