Local breakfast spot in Croydon

“Navaratna never disappoints! The chilli idly is absolutely amazing—bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. The dosa is equally enjoyable, and the menu offers a fantastic variety of options to choose from. Always a pleasure to visit this kind, family-run, award-winning restaurant. The food is consistently wholesome and delicious. Looking forward to the next visit!”

“Nice cafe. Croissant and Coffee were great”

“Never fails in any aspect!!!! 100% recommend it’s not only halal but as well ask fresh everytime!! And very clean surroundings, love this place a lot always enjoy their food even nicer coming back to smiling faces all times as the staff in there is really lovely too!”

“Excellent little place. Great coffee, good value, really friendly service and a very good selection (incl. GF, DF, vegan etc) of delicious cakes, biscuits, juices, sandwiches etc. So glad such a lovely place is just around the corner. Will definitely be back.”

“Visited for the Japanese cheesecake initially and to introduce a friend to this place as they are more local than me. Loved the selection of hot/cold drinks. Sat in even shared a table with other visitors which I thought was so nice and brought back the good times where people actually converse! Carrot cake was divine it was moist and tasty. Was there so long sat to near closing time! The basement has a really nice ambience to it aswell I'd come back again.”

“This is a really nice friendly Cafe, the coffee and flapjacks are delicious. Very friendly and good service, if you are passing by I highly recommend you pop in for a comfy chair and nice atmosphere.”

“We ordered Uber eats today from this place for the first time, and we were really impressed with the food quality and the size of the proportions. Together with the 2 English breakfasts we ordered 2 bacon baguettes, and because they didn't have baguettes bread, they sent it over 2 bacon buns for each one of us, which was very thoughtful and kind of them. Thank you!”

“lovely staff and good amount of seating area. i had the cinnamon roll more than once it was very nice! not everyone can perfect the roll but it suited my preference for it well. there’s an upstairs with a lighter environment great for doing work and a downstairs area which is a bit moodier but a nice place to read books just depending on your preference.”

“Lovely place! Plenty of seating, the decor is very nice and cosey. The lady who owns it is just so lovely and welcoming and to top it off the food is delicious and reasonable priced and the special teas are so tasty. (Wishing tree is a nice touch too) Will definitely be going back”

“Le Bon Cafe, a popular spot for breakfast is an unsuspecting Moroccan restaurant which I have been meaning try. Finally went in but didn't try the Moroccan dishes as planned but will revisit again another time. To be fair, the Moroccan menu had a good range of the usual suspects like the tangine, pancakes and briwat. It seems the breakfast is more popular possibly because it is cheaper than the Moroccan dishes. I had the American pancakes with salmon and scrambled egg which was how it should be. It was served stacked which was quite different and the pancakes were thick and soft unlike the supermarket ones which you can buy. Will return for the Moroccan dishes so I can compare it to the ones at Shepherds bush which are a third cheaper.”

“First time having a caffe breakfast! Everyone is so lovely in there, and the food is 10/10.”

“I am new to the area and was looking for a good cafe; I have come twice now and the food and staff has been really good. The way they cook and serve the food is just right!!!”

“Opens early 6:30-7am, coffee is very good, big plate breakfast I recommend. Eat well here every morning”

“Can't beat Eddie's Cafe, it's simple honest good an excellent kind staff The breakfast is banging and alwasy served with a smile. We love this place”

“Food is always fresh and tasty. The ladies are so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend this cafe!!”

“The only bar worth visiting in Croydon if you enjoy craft beer. Excellent range of beers both on tap and in the fridge. They usually have food available at weekends, and on weekdays you’re welcome to bring food in. Knowledgable staff.”

“Due to an error, our food was delayed and we were given a full refund plus free drinks and a croissant. The staff were very upset about the error and bent over backwards to compensate us. I will definitely visit again.”

“Never had a bad meal. Recommended”

“Nice people, nice service, great food. Was quiet but that was fine with me. Very tasty. Recommend.”

“Went out to do some work on essays for my degree. Café Davinci was great, I not only had space to listen to a lecture, bit also enjoyed a toasted ciabatta, Portuguese tart, slice of cake and copious amounts of tea! (All reasonably priced!)”

“Excellent service, well presented meals. Staff always friendly, always go the extra mile. Best in Seldsdon”

“I love coming here. I order an egg, bacon and sausage roll with ketchup every time I come. The roll is always soft and the filling is cooked to perfection. Best cafe in Croydon. The chef is an absolute joy. Good food and great people - what more could you ask for? If I could give 1 million stars out of 10, I would.”

“Haven't been there for 8 years, fancy something different than pub food, the food was excellent big portions two drinks cost only £20 would have cost me in the £50 in the pub highly recommend.”

“By far one of the best Cafes i go to all around London im a tradesman as you all know we love a cafe!! Whenever im working in Croydon there's no other place to go but May Day Cafe.

“Cute place, I didn't try the hot menu but thoroughly enjoyed the Pistachio Cheesecake and Coco Loco smoothie, indoor and outdoor seating and toilets provided. I already love the gardens and the cafe is just the cherry on top.”
