In an unassuming corner of East London, this café has carved itself a niche as the iconic filming locale for the hit series "Top Boy," attracting fans from all over the globe. Despite its cinematic fame, the menu remains democratically straightforward, embracing classic English breakfast staples and comforting fry-ups that elicit a sense of nostalgia. The 'Top Boy Breakfast,' though intricately associated with the theme, lacks menu transparency, giving room for pricing discrepancies—a detail noteworthy for meticulous patrons. Service-wise, accounts vary; while some diners relay warmth from the Turkish owner and friendly staff, others recount impoliteness marring their visit. The café's interior captures the essence of a trusty local haunt, with decor familiar yet sparing, accompanied by the ambient hum of locality. Notwithstanding occasional criticisms surrounding food portions and presentation, regulars testify to the overall appeal of the café's unfettered atmosphere where sharing coffee or indulging in a carrot cake remains delightfully timeless.
