Sandwich Street Kitchen

Tucked away on a quiet corner within minutes of both King's Cross St Pancras and Euston, Sandwich Street Kitchen is a homey spot that's perfect for refuelling after your morning commute or grabbing a nice lunch before catching your train, while remaining a tempting brunch destination in its own right.

The small, family-run venture is part of a group of local eateries specialising in home-style cooking with Mediterranean influences. At this café, the focus is on breakfast and brunch fare, with the menu featuring a comprehensive array of classic sweet and savoury options. There are different fry-ups to choose from, including a Medi-inspired version and a vegan take on the classic full English, alongside egg dishes like shakshuka or Turkish poached eggs with a bit of zing. If you're craving your sugar fix, you'll want to dig into one of Sandwich Street Kitchen's signature fluffy pancake stacks, while those looking for a quick lunch are sure to enjoy the various made-to-order sandwiches.

The halal-friendly café accompanies the food with a range of hot and cold drinks, including properly brewed coffee, freshly squeezed juices, and trendy matcha-based drinks, ensuring a well-rounded dining experience. Though compact, the walk-in café is cosy rather than cramped, with the friendly staff bustling past your table with platters of tantalising dishes adding to the homely vibe, while the outdoor tables are a prized asset in pleasant weather, letting you soak up the sun as you dig into your French toast.
