About Shepherdess Cafe

Shepherdess Cafe sits on a busy corner near City Road, serving no-frills breakfasts and grills that draw locals and hospital visitors looking for proper comfort food. The builders breakfast comes out fast with crispy bacon, spot-on eggs, and generous portions under £12, while regulars return for the Turkish options—sucuklu yumurta (pan-fried eggs with Turkish sausage) and the Turkish breakfast both get repeat orders. Highchairs and buggy-friendly tables make it work for families doing weekend fry-ups, and there's a small outdoor seating area for mild days. Reviewers note the staff are really friendly and make you feel good. The mushroom omelette arrives loaded with mushrooms alongside a mountain of chips and fresh salad, all reasonably priced for central London. Coffee's strong, the loos are clean, and the whole setup feels reliably old-fashioned without any fuss, ideal for a quick Saturday breakfast before heading to the playground.
