"Solid spot for a relaxed breakfast in the neighborhood. I had the English breakfast, and my wife went with a panini. Both were freshly made and hit the spot. Nothing over the top, just good food done right. Staff was friendly and warm, the kind that lets you enjoy your meal without hovering. The vibe is exactly what you’d want from a long-running local café. It’s been serving Finchley Central for over 25 years, and you can tell there’s pride behind the counter. It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. Tasties is the kind of place that delivers on consistency and comfort. Definitely a go-to if you’re in the area and craving a no-fuss breakfast or brunch."

"Me and my husband visited on a Saturday morning and we loved it and had such a pleasant experience! Staff were so attentive and friendly, despite being so busy they made sure to seat us with a couple of minutes of us entering the door! I asked for changes to the dish I ordered and they were more than happy to accommodate! The food was delicious and it felt like good quality, non greasy breakfast food! We love our little local cafe and will definitely be visiting again - highly recommend for a quick bite for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Lovely menu selection with something for everyone!"
