Legends Café in London Colney is a local spot where a solid, comforting breakfast or a casual lunch feels just right. This café stands out for delivering well-prepared meals centered around classic British café fare, with the added attentiveness you'd expect from recently refreshed management. The kitchen puts genuine care into staples like the full English breakfast, with attention on keeping everything hot and freshly cooked—crispy black pudding, perfectly fried eggs, and properly cooked bacon and sausages are common highlights. Alongside these familiar dishes, lighter options such as avocado toast and a fresh Greek salad offer alternatives for those looking for something less traditional.

The atmosphere at Legends is straightforward and clean, reflecting ongoing efforts to maintain a neat and inviting environment. The presence of small practical touches—like hot sauce bottles available at every table and toothpicks—points to thoughtful service that local regulars appreciate. Friendly staff add to the welcoming vibe, making it a relaxed spot to drop by after a morning dog walk or mid-afternoon errands.

Coffee here is more than an afterthought; several locals enjoy a good espresso or latte to accompany their meal, underscoring how the café suits both a quick caffeine fix and a lingering breakfast catch-up. Families also find it accommodating thanks to a modest kids menu that covers basic favorites like chicken nuggets and fish fingers paired with chips and beans, ensuring younger visitors are well catered to.

Early mornings and weekend brunch hours tend to be when Legends comes into its own, drawing in a mix of locals who appreciate solid coffee and hearty food without pretense. Whether you’re popping in on a chill weekday morning or settling in for a relaxed weekend breakfast, it offers a dependable, no-fuss experience that fits seamlessly into the daily rhythm of London Colney life.

The quality of the ingredients puts this place above the average caff. ...the bubble, sausages and hash browns all stood out but everything was well cooked. I understand its under new management and you could tell lots of effort was being made as it was spotlessly clean with little touches like hot sauce on all the tables, toothpicks etc. The ladies working there were friendly as well..

Oh my gosh. Amazing. I would recommend everyone to go have a breakfast here. I had the Hangover breakfast and was blown away by how good it was. And the owners are really incredible. Thank you. I will definitely make this my regular breakfast stop.

You can always find a warm welcome at the Legend Cafe. The owners are always friendly and nothing is any trouble to them. The food is what you would expect from a great cafe. Good portions and quality food. They even do posh porridge! Drinks are spot on and overall it’s an enjoyable experience and you will usually find a bunch of regulars enjoying the atmosphere and each other’s company. Well done.

This is a top tier caf. Been to many many many cafes for english breakfast, this is absolutely up there. The hash browns and sausage are 10/10. The coffee is proper italian style cappuccino, delicious, and included in the price of the set breakfast. Incredible value really, 10/10!
