Nilly’s Cafe is a casual dining spot at 16 Bell Lane, close to the City and Spitalfields. It serves from breakfast into the evening, providing a relaxed place for local workers, residents and visitors who want a substantial cafe meal rather than only coffee and pastries.
Breakfast is a particular strength, with build your own combinations of eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms and other traditional elements. Mediterranean breakfasts add sucuk, halloumi, olives and salad, while vegetarian and vegan versions give diners useful alternatives.
Omelettes, pancakes, porridge and avocado based dishes broaden the morning choice. Lunch moves into sandwiches, salads and cooked plates, preserving the straightforward, generous style that runs through the breakfast menu.
Coffee, tea and cold drinks make shorter visits easy, while the wide food selection suits a full sit down meal. Nilly’s is particularly practical for mixed groups because it brings British cafe staples and Mediterranean influences together in one unpretentious neighbourhood setting.
