"I have been visiting this place on and off for years whenever I'm exhibiting at the nearby Olympia. It is a hidden gem, tucked away as it is in the residential streets that surround the Olympia complex. It is always friendly, and welcoming and very good value. On the downside it is a little drafty, a little shopworn and can be noisy with the coffee machine constantly cutting in, so it isn't conducive to conversation. The wooden chairs and ceramic floor aren't that comfortable, so it isn't very cosy and probably not a good venue to spend a lot of time in. But for a quick breakfast or snack it is ideal, and they tend to do quite a brisk take away trade, so for the most part the ambience isn't an issue. I always have the full English breakfast, which is substantial, and much more reasonably priced than say a typical Wetherspoons breakfast. This one has a meaty sausage and comes with ample beans, thick bacon and two eggs on toast (see picture). No measly portions here. All that for £9 with a drink included. I'm so pleased that this place doesn't cynically hike its prices just because of its location. It is a traditional honest to goodness caff that is also quite popular with the cabbies, and let's face it, they know a thing or two. I would recommend checking this place out before opting for the ubiquitous branded coffee chains that abound only a short walk away in the nearby Kensington High Street."

One of those places you stumble upon almost by accident, hard working and pleasant staff serving a good range of affordable food quickly. A real Gem.

Had a full cooked breakfast here whilst staying in the local Hilton hotel. Full cooked breakfast and a mug of tea was half the price and was good. Very friendly welcome too. Would do the same again if staying locally.

This place is not close to the city center but is a real gem. The owner is a delightful person. I had a full english breakfast with coffe latte and it was really great and my spouse took omlette with cheese and mushrooms. The price is really great for London. I absolutely recommend this restaurant. If I come next time to London, I will be coming here again. That is a must.

We have eaten here many times when visiting Olympia. However this time we brought friends. They stopped on the pavement and said 'Not in there! ' However we pointed out that you shouldn 't judge a book by its cover and Shandeez perfectly represents that saying. it was a lovely evening and we sat in the outdoor seating area. We had the hummus and pitta to start and the chicken kebabs, chips and salad as our main along with a one lasagne. BRILLIANT! Our friends said possibly the best skewered chicken they had ever had and the portions were very generous and great value for money, All washed down with incredibly inexpensive but good wine. Don 't pass by and think this is just a cafe- the serve...
