A classic Woolwich caff delivering hot, speedy breakfasts and friendly service at rock-bottom prices, with a few service hiccups and occasional quality misses.
Picho's Cafe delivers reliable neighborhood cafe quality through solid breakfast execution, genuinely warm and attentive service, and exceptional value that's increasingly rare in London. Occasional inconsistencies and functional rather than distinctive ambiance prevent a higher grade, but the combination of speed, friendliness, and affordability makes it a dependable local favorite worth visiting for a proper cooked breakfast.
The room feels warm and bustling, the sort of proper caff where the grill sizzles and mugs keep refilling. Reviewers call out the team as "welcoming and quick," with one noting the place was immaculate and tidy. Value is a recurring theme, with cooked breakfasts landing around what some describe as a tenner with drink included, a rare find in London. The cooking leans classic British caff—eggs on toast, fry-ups, omelettes, pies—so the culinary approach is comfort-first, not fussy. When the grill is on song, plates arrive hot and satisfying; when it is not, there are occasional misses like a burnt Spanish omelette or a sparse cheese-on-toast. If you want creativity or cheffy flourishes, look elsewhere; if you want speed, warmth, and change from a £20 note for two, this hits the spot. Families are well covered thanks to kid-friendly staples like chicken nuggets with chips, spaghetti bolognaise, jackets with cheese, and simple omelettes. Portions are decent for little diners, staff are described as kind, and prices make an easy family stop. No formal kids menu is listed, but the everyday options suit most children; picky eaters should do fine with nuggets, plain jackets, or simple eggs.
