I was craving a full English breakfast and so glad I found this place. Great value for money.

OK, so this is so much NOT a Gails but was exactly what I needed after a very early morning start and the full Avanti West Coast Experience. A traditional London Cafe with a regular local clientele - drivers, transport workers, mothers on the school "run" and passing trade (me and some overseas tourists receiving financial guidance from the staff - they'd been stiffed with obsolete GBP notes). Friendly atmosphere, swift service, large portions and ingredients wholly appropriate for the price - I had the builders' breakfast and had assumed coffee came extra - no included - very reasonable for London. I am a regular sufferer of the the hell hole that is Euston - Pinner Cafe will be my new go-to when I need both cheering up and calories.

Me and my wife were in London, morning after the night before (we went to watch Cabaret!) so wanted somewhere for breakfast before catching the train at Euston. Read a couple of reviews about Pinner Cafe so decided to give it a try. What a find! The owner (Oktay) was so friendly and cooked a delicious breakfast for us both. He makes a great cup of tea too (my wife is pretty fussy when it comes to tea but she gave it the thumbs up!). If you're catching strain from Euston or King's Cross, and fancy a simple, tasty, delicious and reasonably priced breakfast, you can't go wrong with Oktay's place! Definitely going to be our go-to spot in future. Cheers.

Had the best Full English here this morning. Normally I force myself to eat the black pudding (high in iron), but this black pudding was actually delicious! Really good sausage and mushrooms too. Beans and tomato on that fried slice can't be beat. Great service and value for money. Old-school vibes.

I have so many good things to say about this place. Staff really nice and friendly. The food was amazing and they had so many options. I had an English breakfast and for what I paid I got a lot of food and every single thing was delicious.

Absolutely lovely place. Had great menu options and had great breakfasts. The staff were brilliant, they were very friendly and polite, and were great for football banter. Very reasonable prices, and we will definitely be returning whenever we are in the area.

I was searching for a cooked breakfast/brunch close by, and once I saw this (on Google Maps) I just had to go for it... Well, truth be told I live in Pinner i.e. in North-West London, thus was a little baffled in first awareness of its name (then explained to me). I must say the food was exactly what I was looking for! I had the 'Pinner Cafe' cooked breakfast (which comes with the option of tea or coffee) and was very satisfied with it, essentially relative to value too. The service wasn't long at all. All elements were cooked to satisfaction, and the social atmosphere felt traditional with seemingly familiar others coming in and passing by, as I sat outside (in the mild, sunny weather) :) I very much recommend coming here, with friends and family or just by yourself. Cash is a more preferred option by such smaller businesses, which they would appreciate :)
