What nomodconstraveller likes about Polly's:
I only had beans on toast and tea, so can 't comment beyond that re dishes, but it was good value, the guy was charming and tea was 'proper ' loose, not bag and served in a teapot not a cup, now sadly more the norm. A welcome place after big London hike. View all feedback. What Clare T doesn't like about Polly's:
It was empty for a reason . . Very sad as I used to come here many years ago and it was delightful. Place was dark and grubby, loo was shocking. Scrambled eggs were pale, watery and tasteless. Juice tasted as if out of a carton. Not sure how this place survives given the other lovely options on South End Green. View all feedback.

Polly's Cafe in Hampstead attracts a literary crowd and locals, with a vintage style and cozy ambiance.
