We always come here before watching Arsenal at the Emirates.... Decent enough fry up at a reasonable price... At times they can be a little disorganised during the busy periods... But they are trying to service a lot of people with limited tables.

Veli's Cafe is the best caff I've ever had the pleasure of calling my local. Superb breakfast along with a fantastic lunch menu, though I typically go for their breakfast whatever time of day!

Popped in as I was going to a match in the Emirates. Got a sausage and egg sandwich and probably the nicest Cappuccino I have tasted. Staff are so very friendly. Great value. Highly recommend
