“ It has been so long that I have enjoyed an eating establishment as I did with E Pellicci. The food is solid - we ordered both the "a lot of meat" English breakfast and a plate of delicious pasta with pesto. But what really stood out is how fun loving and sweet the waiting staff was. We ended up sitting with two strangers and we got talking, and the staff enabled that, came by our tables constantly to joke around with all of us. I can understand why this is a true British and London institution. I definitely will go back when I visit London again. ”

“ I have to talk about this place...E. Pellicci Cafe. What a lovely, fantastic little spot! We visited London this past August, so this review is a little late. We made the 45 minute commute to Bethnal Green from Central London to check them out. When we arrived 2 minutes before they opened. Not long after we were seated a steady trickle of folks started coming in. Within 30 mins of opening, the place was full! Nevio Jr, the current owner runs the cafe with the rest of the family and staff. They are all very personable and seems to be rather popular in their community. We wanted to try their English breakfast, so husband ordered the classic set. Meanwhile, I heard good things about their pesto pasta dish (after all, they are Italian!). I was pleasantly surprised that they serve pasta all day. Did I order a bowl of Penne Pellicci at 8 am? I sure did! They topped it off with Bolognese because "you should try it!". They applauded when I finished it off and called me the "young lady who ordered pasta for breakfast"; "She must be Italian!" Hey, it's dinner time somewhere in the world . (And thank you so much for calling me young ) The best pasta breakfast, if I could lick the plate I would. And that English Breakfast? Is as excellent as they say! It will be hard to top that. They told us that his Mamma Maria was baking bread pudding and we could stay to have some. We have a full day planned so we regretfully couldn't. Next time, we should definitely try the Have the Lot set and bread pudding! ”

“ Awesome food, you know that slogan " here you're family"? Holds true in this establishment.. the moment you come in they make you feel like one of their regulars.. would definitely come back when i return to London ”

“ My husband is big on breakfast so I was a bit hesitant since I'm not a fan. However, when in London you have to try a full English breakfast so we had to do it right. We made sure to come early to have a shorter queue, and boy were we glad we did. The line got long quick!! Once we sat down inside, the chaos and buzz was thrilling! Seeing the cook talk through the window to patrons and everyone is joking loudly with each other it was so much fun. The breakfast was so good! When Ana came around with the pesto, it got even better. Do ask for a sample and buy a jar for home because it was to die for... We had such a great time here due to the staff and owners. Ana, was so sweet and funny. She took the time to get to know every one of her customers as you check out. I can't wait to come back to try all their Italian dishes. Definitely worth a trip across the pond for. Thank you Ana and family for the hospitality this place is a gem and we can't wait to be back sooner than later! ”

“ This is what I've been waiting for in London! This little cafe came out of nowhere with unmatched hospitality and warm conversation. We had cafe Americano, tea, and cappuccino with "have the lot meat" (full English breakfast). The food was fresh, coffees and tea hot and perfect when you add sugar. All for a reasonable price. We had some fun banter with a few gentleman and felt like one of the family. After getting a chilly reception from some of the locals, we were especially appreciative of this gem. Highly recommend! FYI: cash only ”

“ Excellent food and even better service!! This was such a cute local spot for a great English breakfast. There was a bit of a line out the door and a wait for us to be seated, but fortunately we didn't wait too long for our party of 2. One of the servers was so funny and just a joy to be around. He was walking around talking to all the guests and making jokes, I didn't catch his name, but he was super charismatic! I really wanted a traditional English breakfast before leaving London, and this really was the perfect place to stop at for one of the best English breakfasts you'll find. This place is very small, diner-like, and simple, but the food is hearty and will leave you full and satisfied. I got the Have the Lot Full English Breakfast, and it was a full platter (could honestly split it between two people and still be very satisfied). It was a great combination of egg, sausage, ham, hashbrowns, black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, and fried toast. Also--note *fried* toast--like the deep fried the whole slice of bread (so good but how can you go wrong with this). Everything was delicious and extremely filling--I could not finish my plate. I would definitely look to come back here next time I'm in London! ”

“ Easily best full english I've ever had. We had to wait a bit to sit, but really wasn't bad at all. I'd recommend getting there early to get ahead of the crowd. Super friendly staff, cozy environment, and unbelievably high quality food. Very recommended! ”

“ This is a very small place. But there was a line (queue). I can see why. The food was very good. The server was extremely friendly and gregarious. We had a variety from mince pie to English breakfast to pasta, and it was all really good. A bit of a walk from the tube stop, but worth it. ”
