Rating: 5.00After starting work in N17 end of 2005, my friend came and took me to lunch at this homely, cafe actually walking distance from my office in the Technopark.

So much choice from home cooked meals, i chose the spag bol and wished I hadn't as I don't usually have a big meal at lunch and just wanted to go to sleep after our meal. At the time of our first visit they actually had a barbeque area but have since modernised to use the space more efficiently. Food ranges from full english breakfasts, burgers, kebabs and chips to lasagnes, lamb shanks and rice with veg.

This cafe caters for those wanting a good breakfast to those not going home to a cooked meal in the evening after work.

My friend loves a turkish tea which is has specially made on our several visits.

I work for a small, successful fire alarm company of which we sometimes after staff meetings go and have a company lunch together but fortunately for us they do deliver when we can't get out of the office.

Chris and his staff are friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend for that quick cuppa and toast to a full meal when feeling hungrier and reasonably priced too!!!!!After starting work in N17 end of 2005, my friend came and took me to lunch at this homely, cafe actually walking distance from my office in the Technopark.

Cafe Surf - Not really a cafe, more of dingy coffee stall/internet cafe. by ChrisAdams

I had agreed to meet an acquaintance at Cafe Surf, expecting a coffee shop in the vein of Breakfast Club, or even one of the chains like Caffe Nero, or Starbucks, or possibly one of the many coffeeshops along Tottenham High Road.

What I found was a dirty, badly maintained little internet cafe, with a sideline in sandwiches and baked goods.

We ordered a cup of black tea, and a cappuccino - both were passable, and at least were cheap. Neither of us tried the sandwiches or pastries, but the range on offer was pretty run of the mill, train station fare.

The furniture we sat at was plain dangerous however; nearly all the tables we tried were too wobbly to risk putting hot drinks on, and when we did find a table, that was stable, one of the chair had a leg collapse on us, and another had the seat come off the structure where the legs were attached.

It's cheap, and there is wifi, but I can't recommend going there at all, unless you absolutely HAVE to access the internet, or you want a takeaway beverage.I had agreed to meet an acquaintance at Cafe Surf, expecting a coffee shop in the vein of Breakfast Club, or even one of the chains like Caffe Nero, or Starbucks, or possibly one of the many coffeeshops along Tottenham High Road.
