Adams Cafe Restaurant Croydon — Restaurant in London

First time visit, conveniently placed near local transport and just outside of the shopping centre thankfully. Warm and friendly welcome, cleanliness is not an issues at all besides the menus, which I believe should be binned and replaced. The server seemed to have full knowlegde of the items I enquired about and I appreciate her honest open answers. I tend not to eat meat dishes on my first visit to any food establishment so I had an all day (very non-greasy) Veggie Breakfast with water and was very pleased with my purchase. Hash brown are a favourite for me and these hit the spot as often many places go super cheap which taste super horrid (inserting thumbs up here). My next peeve is microwaved baked beans, these were not, also under cooked egg whites (controlling my gag reflex) which I did not have here. So considering my anxiety with three ways they could get a one star rating I could not fault my food choice, other than not being able to finish my plate. I also could not fault the warm, welcoming, informative and efficent service, a big thumbs up to them for the effort they make where so many establishments do not. My critical attentions would be to change the grabby,torn menus, and ask the cook to use his inside voice when speaking with his friends. I will return...

This interaction left a negative impression on me and my wife. We felt embarrassed and could have been handled better to instigate first-timer-purchase and of course repeat business.

I’m sure the café management would not mind helping someone in a natural state.

Nice ambience any way, and the brunch-meal on one of the costumer's table looked great.

Simple local place that is family run and operates with the clever cafe-by-day / Tunisian-restaurant-by-night formula. Friendly service from what looked like a father and son front-of-house team. Good value. The menu is priced with three options and then choose what you want to eat - a great idea in my view. Nice cold Casablanca beer with some free nibbles (olives, pickled vegetables, excellent bread and meatballs). The egg bric is great and the mains are all simple, fresh and delicious. I'd...
