This New York styled caff is full of old American memorabilia and all of the staff members seem to have an Italian accent. It does feel a bit like leaving London and setting foot on American soil when you enter the shop.

Food served is salads, full English breakfast all day, pastas and various types of sandwiches (you can compose your own from their tasty fillings on offer or pick a ready made one from the counter) on decent bread. They also serve various types of snacks, cake and other nibblies as you would expect from a cafe style diner.

Typically we don’t eat here a lot, since it is too close to our office and sandwiches are as you might guess a bit frowned upon, but here is a recommendation: order the warm piri piri chicken on a toasted poppy seed bagel with lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. No butter, no mayo, no cheese. Just top it off with some salt and pepper. Best bagel around Waterloo, honest.

Word of warning though, don’t get your coffee here. Just up the road you find Smålands Coffee where you can get really good coffee while bantering with the Swedish girls working there. Nothing much wrong with the Caffe Quattro coffee, but the coffee at Smålands just is that much better.

Suggested by Chris, thank you very much!

    It’s hardly surprising that this has an Italian / American feel as the owner – 2 brothers who actually work her (ie. not just employ other people like the chains) were brought up in New York from an anglo English / Italian family of long established cafe owners – so your getting the real thing here. I think their coffe in the best this side of Rome and also the cheapest. Great sandwiches and food too – I can’t recommend this place enough.
