Blues Cafe

The food here is fresh as can be and the family that run it are kind and caring and have a devoted following. I'm amazed at how many of their customer's names they seem to remember. They are always cheerful and ready to provide the best service. And I confess to not being easy to please.

They have had a really tough time what with the way Covid has affected their business - and by having a building hoarding up outside for most of this year. But all of that has not changed the great quality of the food and the very warm welcome customers receive the warmest of welcomes. Their meatballs are the best in London and their roasted squash salad is fantastic. They also provide a great Vegan and Vegetarian selection and their coffee is beautiful. Thank you so much for making me feel good and feeding me so well.

had a fairly nice experience at the Blues Cafe in West Smithfield having bought lunch and and 2 coffees as i killed an hour waiting to do a job at nearby Barts hospital.. That was until the manager/owner came along and asked if it was my phone that was charing and when i responded that it was, he promptly unplugged it and asked me if i had asked permission before launching into a monologue about manners and asking permission beforehand.

Not being allowed to charge ones phone wasn't a big deal. It was the abrasive manner in which he spoke to me like i was a 5 year old child.

I don't know how much i contributed to his electric bill charging my phone for half an hour but i bet it's no where near as much as the continued business he lost as i go in there 3 times a week.

So typical of the service industry in this country.
