Stopped here for lunch and tried the all-day breakfast sets, toast, and kids menu. Everything was lovely and done perfectly. Will visit again when in the area.

This newly refurb cafe is quite lovely. Traditional cafe with good food. Though the coffee was a bit milky for my taste it was still good.

Nice breakfast after Bexley parkrun. Eggs were really good, but sausages could have been better. Came with toast from nice bread but unfortunately only one hash brown. Added some black pudding as was feeling hungry.

Performed at the school down the road, and needed somewhere for breakfast afterwards. There was nothing else open before 11. Very happy with the service and the food here. Friendly, smiley staff and quick, hot food. Testy and good portion sizes. A good number of people there too, a nice vibe.

Popped in for a couple of bacon sandwiches to takeaway. Nice crusty bread, not the greatest quality bacon but the price here is very reasonable. Cafe clean with polite staff Limited parking

I was having a part fitted at Halfords and it would take a up to 2 hours. I looked around the area and saw Merlinda's Cafe. Good choice of meals, I opted for thje medium breakfast, and prompt service. The meal was well presented and exactly what I ordered. I must admit the toast was the real highlight of the meal. It is not often the toast is so perfect; crisp base with soft butter top. I savoured the two pieces of toast. I was there for 90 mminutes with no pressure to leave.

It was a sudden find for coffee only, might go there again to try the food. Lovely and warm environment. Looked quite popular among locals. The interior was clean. Staffs were friendly and welcoming. The coffee was good but way too hot to drink even after 5 minutes. There were enough sitting places available. There was no queue. There is limited road side parking in front of the shop. Anyway, liked the place, wanna go again to try food.
