If I could give zero stars it would still be too good of a review for this appalling cafe. Not only did every staff member we come across say they were ‘new’ there & that was their excuse as to why they knew nothing about the menu, but they also couldn’t even tell us what they were serving when they did eventually serve our food, so we just had to guess who’s was who’s. The amount of times they tried giving us wrong food/drinks too, even when we had ours on our table. They just seemed to not have a clue. At all. The food was not great, stale and old, plus my friend had the full English and she became very poorly quite soon after eating it. They even asked a group of women to leave as soon as they had finished eating so they could sit another family down. But they literally had only just finished, I found it very rude and was so awkward. There was no toilet roll either. The whole place was a shambles. They gave us a discount because they knew the service/food had been awful and I tried paying at the till and then all of a sudden I am getting hit by a hidden door underneath the till - with someone trying to come up from in the basement, it was all such a weird experience and I would highly recommend no one ever going there - unless you want to be poorly in about an...
Read moreWe came in to try their English breakfast and decided to sit outside. Initially, they took a long time to take our order, and the waiter did not know how to speak English very well, which also made it difficult for him to take our order.
In the middle of waiting for our food, another waiter abruptly interrupted us and wanted to take one of our tables away in order to sit two women who were waiting. Mind you,we were 6 people and were already cramped. He was not very kind and not very clear in what he wanted to do. Finally, he managed to take a table away from other customers just to be able to join two tables to ONLY sit 2 people! The whole thing was ridiculous and left us in a bad mood.
Lastly, we had ordered a stack of pancakes, but they had not been served to us even when everyone else had finished their food. We ended up canceling that order and looked for more food someplace else.
In conclusion, the food was good. However, the service was horrible, and I would bet there are better, cheaper...
Read moreI recently had breakfast at Ibo Cafe and was disappointed with my experience. While the cafe has a charming and authentic atmosphere, the breakfast was overpriced at £12.80 for a very basic and skimpy meal. Most full English breakfasts in London are served for a lower price and include more items. Although the breakfast was cooked well and tasted good, the service was a big letdown. I had to wait at least 15 minutes before receiving my breakfast, and the coffee was not served immediately despite requesting it three times. I received my cappuccino five minutes after finishing my breakfast. The cafe was not excessively busy, so there was no excuse for the poor service. I recommend that the quality of service be improved, and the content of the breakfast be improved or the prices reduced. Given the poor service and overpriced breakfast, I would rate my experience as only...
