Cafe Rosa - Barnet

We had a pleasant and delicious breakfast this morning with my husband. We both had a full English breakfast and it was absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly. We would definitely come back. The pastries looked delicious, so we would like to try them next time.

This is the worst restaurant I have been to in a long time. The food was disgusting, I even found a hair in it. The coffee was terrible and the atmosphere was unpleasant with foreign smokers staring at me. The owners handled the situation poorly and the wife even threatened me. The young waiter did not speak English well and was rude, even smoking inside despite my request for him to go outside. The manager, Hasbi, was rude and his management style was terrible. I advise everyone to avoid this place.

I was craving a full English breakfast in my area, so I decided to choose this café as it looked busy. I ordered a full English breakfast, but I hesitated a bit when I couldn't see a kitchen and saw a lot of food coming in and out of the microwave. I think my bacon and sausages were heated on a griddle. The breakfast was a big disappointment. I would suggest that they remove hot food items from the menu if they have to rely on a microwave and a sandwich press.

Nice coffee and cakes with options for lunch/snacks. Relaxed atmosphere where it is easy to sit over coffee and chat or read etc without hassle. Nice to have a local cafe that is not just part of a chain.

When it comes to customer service, quality and value, this is the place to visit when you are in Finchley Central. Whenever I go here for a meal, I have always ordered myself a jacket potato with curry without cheese (some people have it with cheese but that does go down with me). They prepare this meal to perfection to make sure that I get a meal that is filling and satisfying. The taste of the curry has certainly got that YUMMY feeling inside your stomach as all the ingredients are fresh and homemade. There are no frozen items being used, from what I can see and they have the very best on offer when it comes to drinks. I was happy to see that this cafe is kiddie friendly, having toys for them to play with whilst the parents sit back and enjoy a cup of tea (my fav) or coffee for my partner. All three of my children have been welcomed to this cafe with open arms with my middle son, who has ADHD, welcomed to help out as he believes he works there (within reason, of course, he just takes our cups to them believing he supplies a service to us). I will have to add that their cakes are super yummy!!! This is another location that I would highly recommend to every person who visits Finchley Central.
