At a relatively high price point, the breakfast is a bit pricey for what you get. One could argue that the location and ambiance contribute to the cost, but it's still an expensive meal for what's offered.

I've lived around the corner in Bermondsey Street for six years and went to Al's Cafe for the first time this week. My partner has been by himself a few times when he says he needs some carbs. On this occasion i decided to go with him and I really enjoyed my veggie breakfast with my fried egg well done as requested. They said we could take our dog inside and gave her a sausage which she ate in a matter of seconds. It's a well executed traditional cafe or greasy spoon serving an array of breakfasts along with sandwiches and jacket potatoes. The service is prompt and super friendly. The interiors are clean and welcoming. On my visit there were a mix of locals, office workers having meetings and tradespeople. It is a great place to enjoy a traditional breakfast which is value for money.

I recently visited and had a BLT bagel with a coffee. The bagel was really tasty and fresh, which I loved! The coffee, while decent, wasn't anything extraordinary. The café had a lively and busy atmosphere, which I appreciated, but the space is a bit tight. If it had been fully packed, I probably wouldn't have stayed. Also, the long seats weren't very comfortable for a longer visit. Overall, a good experience with great food. Food is very well priced too!

Ok, if you want the traditional London cafes to survive, don’t walk past Al’s for a more costly and pretentious version of brunch, it’s all here. It’s proper British food, with good portions and it’s tasty and filling. The decaf coffee was flavourful and tasted like good coffee :) we will be back again when we visit. It’s cosy and friendly, and it’ll fill you up before a walk along the Thames.

Really good food at Goodvalley loved them mural on the wall inside parking like anywhere in England a problem but not such a problem here as the street is quite quiet but you will be on yellow lines
