Cafe Pronto

Very nice little spot with outdoor seating. Great sandwich menu. Delightful staff.

Pretty much does what it says on the tin. It’s a café for office workers, so it offers the usual spread of sandwiches, full english breakfasts and pastries.
Their breakfast is really top notch — very well prepared (PERFECT fried eggs, which is a rarity), huge in size and costs peanuts. Likewise their breakfast sandwiches are great (microwave-​reheated bacon being a bit of a downside, but it’s a factor of time-​saving — sure they would prep on demand if asked), especially their «Hangover Cure» for just over 3 quid, which is a monstrous double-​fister roll jam-​packed with sausage, bacon and eggs. Guaranteed to sort out even the most jaded morning after.
Don’t make a point of going here if you’re not local, but if you work or live nearby it’s great for a bite to eat. In truth, it deserves 3.5 stars, but alas we still don’t have that option …

A great place to grab a bite during a busy day.
Pronto’s staff are quick and efficient, whipping up a wide range of lunchtime fare. Toasted paninis, hot meals like curry and lasagne, smoothies, salad boxes, jacket potatoes and more.
Portion sizes are never stingy and prices are reasonable.
The place is very popular, so expect queues at lunch time. But that’s par for the course I guess.

A good little busy café trying it’s best down the elephant end of blackfriars road. I’m putting it on here because their hot lunch take away dishes really are rather good home cooked fare. They usually have 3 or 4 different options anything from baked salmon to spag bol, shepherds pie to chicken Korma. it is actually quite hard to find somewhere that does take out hot food round this neck of the woods (not including soup and kebabs).
The staff are really nice even though they are really busy.
They also have a yoghurt bar where you can add your own museli, fruit, nuts etc. and there is a different menu to eat in, I can recommend their tricolore salad.
Not worth a special trip, but if you work around here you may want to hunt it out.
