Meral’s Cafe Bistro - (Near Brent, South East)

5 /5 Emanuele DB: A friend recommended this place in the heart of Cricklewood, and from the moment I walked in, I immediately felt comfortable. The atmosphere is calm yet functional, and the décor is warm and welcoming. The staff are genuinely kind and cheerful, even very early in the morning. They open at 6:30 am, which makes it a convenient morning pit stop for anyone commuting into central London via Thameslink. There’s a wide selection of English breakfast options, sweet and savoury, and you can even build your own plate by choosing exactly what you want. It’s the first time I’ve seen this level of flexibility, and it gives the place a very homely feel. The food quality is great, and a special highlight is the coffee. They serve Kimbo coffee from Naples, one of Italy’s most respected brands, which easily ranks among the best coffees you can find. Compliments to the owners and staff for creating such a welcoming, efficient, and friendly place

5 /5 Sherron Stokes: This is the first time that I have used this cafe and I would definitely come back. I opted for the Merals vegetarian breakfast andcI was not disappointed with the quality of the food and the portion size. The staff there were really friendly and made you feel really welcome

5 /5 Anne Halliday: What a great little gem of a cafe in Cricklewood! Have eaten here quite a few times with our family who live nearby. The staff are always so welcoming, kind & helpful. The menu has a wide variety including vegetarian. Food is great,generous portions & beautifully presented. Would highly recommend.

5 /5 Hannah Grueny: I came here for breakfast during my trip to London and enjoyed it very much. The eggs Benedict and the pancaked are recommendable, as well as the hot chocolate. I only visited twice, but would have loved to come more often. Especially because the host is so nice and welcoming. We talked a bit and he recommended that I visit Kew gardens, which were just lovely. Thank you so much again! The café is very cozy, if a bit loud. But that just adds more soul to it if you ask me. I felt safe and left well fed and happy for another exciting day in London.
