Hi guys if you are in Camden And you need to relax and have some breakfast or a snack or just a coffee or a simple cold drink then after coming out of Camden Town station or before you go in, then this little eatery which is near the worlds end night club by the zebra crossing is a nice place to start. The current owner has been here since 2008 and survived the pandemic so this review is to try and give those guys who struggled through covid a little help.
If your route is walking down from Camden road overground station then it will be on your left it’s called Lamentine, the eatery has seating outside where you can sit and eat or buy a coffee and watch the world go by or there are a few seats inside but space inside is limited.
The reason I like this place is because of the owner Solly, he takes care and is polite and careful with the preparation of food and that’s important to me. The place is clean, the chicken escalope is my favourite I didn’t take any photos of it because I didn’t buy one on this visit but it’s delicious trust me.
They have a great assortment of soft drinks that are always nice and cold, also a nice selection of muffins. When you find a place where you can trust the food, it’s always good to recommend it.
If you are sitting outside you can see the entrance to Camden Town station to your left and the Camden Eye pub is opposite. And to the left of that is the brand spanking new Wendy’s I think I need to do a revue of that place soon but I haven’t eaten from there as yet so I can’t do that until I do. So pop into Lamentine and mention that you read my review on Google and see if my name rings a bell 🛎 let me know if your experience was as good as mine, enjoy.

A small cafe just opposite Camden tube station.
The coffee is good for 2.50 and a nice portion big English breakfast 🍳 for £9
Friendly staff

As a tourist to London we were looking for breakfast somewhere and spotted this cafe, there was no prices next to the breakfast poster to the right of the menu boards but we were surprised to find our bill only came to £23 for 3 people with drinks included in that price and 3 large breakfasts! For London this was the cheapest breakfast we came across on our travels. The two gentlemen working there were fab and cooked the breakfast to perfection - I’m unsure why the reviews below are bad I suspect this has maybe changed ownership since those reviews were posted but I’d definitely visit this cafe again!

I really don't get the hate reviews this place got. I had their bacon roll to go several times in my previous trip and it was a-okay. They didn't charge me service for it like another reviewr said.
So sure, it looks kind of seedy, and the French name is weird, but it's a greasy spoon, in Camden, so what else can be expected? As far as I could tell it does what it does well.

Little place on corner not much to expect, except good coffee and a quick snack, food is daily made fresh. Jus have to watch out for the sign that says have to pay to eat in? Overall enjoyed myself best coffee going around better then costa haha

This place certainly has the right name. Everything about it is truly lamentable. Surly rude lying staff. Awful food. Ridiculous prices. Avoid at at costs. I would rate is as zero ..<br/>

If you are a tourist or you look like a tourist, please, DO NOT go there. My family came to visit me last week and the last day we went there to have an English breakfast. We were having the hand luggage with us because my family was leaving later. They asked us what we wanted for breakfast, but they did not tell us the price in any moment. We ordered 3 English breakfast and a lady asked us what kind of bread we wanted. Normally coffee and bread are included in the price, but not in this cafe and the lady did not tell us about it. When I went to pay, she told me it was 42 pounds. I was surprised and I asked her about my receipt and she refused to give it to me by saying she deleted it. I told her it was not my problem because I did not say to her to do it so she invented another new receipt for me, when I asked her about the price of the breakfast she refused to tell me and she looked for excuses. I told her I was not a tourist and I could call the police if I wanted (I did not) and she looked scared so I guess it is not the first time they do something like that to the people. They are a confidence tricksters...

Very bad experience. I ordered fish and chips with salad at £4.95 and a skinny latte at £1.90 as per menu. On the menu it stated that dining in had to pay an extra 50p on food and drinks. When I was going to pay at the counter after finishing, I was told a total of £10.40. I was so confused and shocked that it was not supposed to be so expensive and the lady told me it was because of dinning in. I had no choice but to just say nothing and leave. I felt cheated and angry..never ever want to go here anymore. On the next 2 doors there is also a cafe selling fish and chips and the difference is only 50p for take away and dinning in.
