Nestled on the unassuming Wootton Street in Waterloo, Waterloo Cafe is a haven for weary travelers and hungry locals alike. Stepping inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon instantly put my stomach at ease. In search of a hearty breakfast to fuel my day, I opted for a classic – the omelette, baked beans, fried tomato, hash browns, and buttered toast combo. And let me tell you, it was a symphony of comfort food that hit all the right notes.
The omelette, nicely cooked. The baked beans, simmered to a perfect sweetness, danced around the omelette in a comforting hug. The fried tomato, juicy and bursting with sunshine, added a touch of acidity to cut through the richness. The hash browns, crispy on the outside and soft within, provided a satisfying textural counterpoint. And the buttered toast, a canvas for golden butter, was the perfect base for mopping up all the deliciousness.
The charm of Waterloo Cafe extends beyond the delicious food. The friendly staff, buzzing with the energy of a well-oiled machine, added to the warm and inviting atmosphere.
As I left Waterloo Cafe, my stomach full and my heart happy. The combination of nicely cooked food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere made it an experience that went far beyond simply fuelling up.

Read more10/10 I was studying English with EF just around the corner and some friends took me to this place, as a student this was a lifesaver. The food is great the prices are surprisingly fair, and the people are just lovely. I had either a Tricolore or a Mozarella panini almost every single day for a month, THEY FEED ME FOR A MONTH. I took my friends with me too, it became "our spot". The service was quick and easy and the blonde waitress always took my order with a smile. The pastel de nata for dessert is a must !! Apparently they do a great English Breakfast since I saw people ordering it often. If you're around the area, do yourself a favor and try out this place. I will miss it so much now I'm away but I know I'll go back someday. PLEASE DON'T CHANGE TOO MUCH PS: I recommend the Vegetarian Panini for gloomy days and Tricolore...
Read moreWow! It opens at 5am!!! A quiet, unassuming quaint cafe with a small sized seating area upstairs (more than enough seating at non busy times!)
I opted for an Omlet with salad. The salad was clearly very fresh and had half an avocado and tomatoes as part of the salad. The Omlet was enjoyable and the salad was more than just a garnish. This small breakfast was clearly made with passion.
The staff were very polite and I didn’t feel rushed to leave which can be an issue in some cafe’s in central London.
A lovely, peaceful experience. I gave 5 stars for the atmosphere as sometimes, it’s nice to have a little bit of peace in away from the hustle and bustle of central London.
Wheelchair accessible downstairs with a couple of seats just near...
