This place is a culinary gem, serving up classic english breakfasts. Run by a lovely family who will make you feel very welcome. They have done a great job of preserving lots of the original features, even the old signage and the tea urn. Its one of a kind.
Fantastic cafe, lovely owners, nice food, great prices.
They were also nice enough for us as students to film for our final major degree project, not only were they accommodating but they were happy to help in any way and made it a pleasure to film there.
Would definitly recommend! Thanks again!
My weekly weekend ritual always involves a visit to the Electric Cafe. After a long week at work I consider it a treat to grab myself a full English breakfast. Highly recommended!
I've visited almost every cafe on Norwood rd, and I can honestly say that no other cafe comes close to The Electric. The food is home-cooked and freshly prepared. Always friendly service and very reasonably priced.
This is my favorite place, by far, in West Norwood/Tulse Hill for Breakfasts and Lunch, The family that run this place are really nice and the food is great!! This place has been going since the 1800's and has a really english authentic cafe feel to it!
The Electric Cafe is a 1900s Cafe, this is a extremely rare find. From the front to walking in you are whisked away to the past.
The cafe boasts a good menu of popular Breakfast items, what stands out to me the most was the quailty and homemade items such as the chips which was some of the best chips I've had 💯 better than the chippies.
I had the full English and my plate was perfect not greasy, balanced portion and delicious. 5 🌟 for 🥓 was crispy and not burnt 👌
Another mention is tea not any standard greasy spoon or cafe will be able to brew you a good cuppa, which Electric Cafe can.
This rare gem is a highly recommended it has been around since 1900s the decor and way things are run are passed from Father to son keeping the tradition going.
Love it here. Best cafe in South London. Homemade chips are a highlight.
Lovely local spot.
Everything is really fresh, full of flavour and they are very friendly.
Nice veggie breakfast with halloumi. Just under £10 for a huge fry up and it's cash only.
This is for all my original old school Londoners. If you know what a London caff is then this is the place to go. The food is outstanding and the authentic London caff experience is very much alive in here. If you love London and you love a fry up and want all that with a true London experience, then get down there it's top notch
Proper old style greasy spoon. Food was decent quality and good sized portions. Toast was extra, I always feel it should be included for fry ups generally. Good quality caff though.
Solid greasy spoon. Had eggs, bacon, sausage, beans and fried toast. All of it was really good. Would come back again. Cash only though.
This place is a little gem. Love to go when I can. Quality sausages and bubble and squeak and lots of tea. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed my visit food was really tasty it's a proper old style English cafe would definitely return cash only
Great coffee, great service! Great atmosphere! I love the place.
Just excellent.... filter coffee, bubble and squeak, black pudding, beans, eggs and back bacon. Super service and friendly staff. An absolute must.
