Good food. Good customer service, friendly, efficient and careful service, in fact. Very reasonably priced for a generous portion. Cash only. Atmosphere good apart from the sound of scraping chairs.

I have been coming to Woodhouse café for the last 20 years! Not many places to eat in Friern Barnet so thank god we have simon and his son Fred serving up the best breakfasts, sandwiches, great teas and coffees and also hearty home made meals like shepards pie, chicken roasts and specials they do. A friendly, warm welcome every time and they are like that with everyone. Hands down one of my favourite places to eat, sit and chat with the locals as i own and run the barbershop further down @tonyandsonbarbers we have been serving the community together for over 2 decades, we know everyone in the area to the point when we have new faces passing through we spot them easily. We are a tight knit family in and around Woodhouse road, so only right Woodhouse cafe is at its heart. Feeding its neighbours and providing not just food, but love also. That’s the best mix you can hope for. Keep it up family! Much deserved

Working all within the M25 it's hard to find a good cafe. This one definitely hit the spot. Set 5 breakfast with extra black pudding. Didn't expect the chips that came with it so continuing work this afternoon will now be a challenge Keep up the good work guys. Will definitely be back

I always love it here. Very well priced and such lovely personable service from very sweet staff. You have to ask for eggs sunny side up as over easy is their default. The food is good and decent portions.

It’s been years since I’ve been to a café, and Woodhouse Cafe brought back the warm memories of going out with my mom for breakfast and lunch when I was a kid. The vibe was cozy, the service was lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious. It felt nostalgic in the best way. I’ll definitely be going back.

I come here every 2 weeks when I get a trim from the barbershop (down the road) sometimes I just get a take away (coffee and bacon n egg sandwich) but went here yesterday with my Nan and the food is fantastic, fresh, cooked to perfection with no grease or oil on the plate so you could say this is a healthy fry-up. Fred is a gentleman & service is always top quality.
