As a complete stranger to London, I happened upon this lovely cafe on a busy street corner in Islington near Moorfields Eye Hospital 's private wing. From massive breakfasts for £12, mixed grill (£16.50) to homemade 'Sucuklu Yumurta' (Pan fried eggs and Turkish sausage), they really do offer an eclectic selection. I opted for the very tasty cheese on toast (£6.50) and an excellent cappuccino (£3.50). I thought the prices extremely reasonable for London. Nice clean loos and free WiFi. A great find!

I visited Shepherdess BBQ Cafe recently and was a bit disappointed with my experience. The croissant I ordered was unfortunately very hard and not fresh, which made it quite unpleasant to eat. In addition, I found the staff to be less welcoming than I had expected, which affected the overall atmosphere.

I believe there’s potential for improvement, and I hope the cafe takes this feedback on board, as the place itself has a nice setting.

Grabbed a lunch with my father & sister yesterday. Cafe set up is simple but it is neat and clean. Service was fast. Place kept all organised. Food was good. We ordered two sets grilled chicken with side of chips & salad plus Chicken Escalope with sides of rice & salad. I love that the chicken has a kick of little spice. Escalope is moist and crunchy. Chips are properly cooked (fresh and crisp). Fresh salad too. But most of all, the staff were welcoming. Sincere smile from our lady server and greetings from another staff is appreciated. Though I have doubt that she mistakenly serve us spicy chicken instead of the Grilled one, didn't complain as it is tasty anyway.

Fantastic Food and Friendly Staff – A Local Gem!

I've been to Shepherdess BBQ Café twice this week already, and I’m sure it won’t be the last time. It's local to my workplace, which makes it super convenient— fantastic food and the genuinely great staff.

It’s rare to find a place that balances quality, value, and service so well. Highly recommend if you’re in the area—this is a proper local spot that deserves the support.
