De Vine

We were lucky to try this place Monday morning and let me tell you I think this was the best food we had the entire time in London. The owner is very attentive and gets you seated and graded right away. The menu has a little bit of something for everyone and you will be very happy with your breakfast or lunch.

Kicking off our first full-day in London with breakfast at De Vine Cafe was nothing short of a perfect. From the first sip of coffee to the last bite of our eggs, the entire experience was flawless. The service was attentive, engaging, and just the right amount of friendly.

Don’t be fooled by the cozy quarters; the place might be compact, but the experience you’ll have will be anything but. Finding De Vine was a mini adventure in itself, tucked away as it is. The signage is modest, so keep your eyes peeled. A helpful tip from some local construction workers set us on the right path, and before we knew it, we were settling into our seats, coffee in hand, and ready to dive into a breakfast that would set the bar impossibly high for the rest of London.

Moses, who’s become something of a breakfast connoisseur, declared it one of the best breakfasts in London, and that’s no small feat. For a start to the day that feels both like a hidden gem and a hearty welcome, Moses and I can’t recommend De Vine enough.

Visit this small Cafe, under a railway bridge by the Tower of London 🇬🇧 and find a family run breakfast and lunch restaurant. The Owner greets and waits every table, packed with businessmen, professionals, tourist, workers, and students, each treated as a special guest. The food is fresh, hot, and simple, but so good. Clean, efficient, kind, and feels like a hometown environment where everyone knows everyone, all under the spell of the Owner’s kind attention and wonderful menu.

We stopped at De Vine before heading to the airport on our last day in London and we had the best breakfast of the trip by far! Excellent full English breakfast, beautifully laid out. Highly recommend adding black pudding to the Full Monty, it was perfectly cooked. The cappuccino was absolutely delicious and came with a nice dusting of cocoa powder. The best part was the service, the owner was one of the nicest human beings I encountered on my trip. Thanks De Vine for a great send-off!

The owner assured us this is the best breakfast in London. Well, I must say the food was great and surprisingly it was relatively cheap breakfast. All three breakfasts we ordered were delicious, orange juice(probably Tropicana) and coffee also on point.

The restaurant is kinda inconspicuous but definitely worth recommending. I must also emphasize the great assistance provided by the owner!
