Great little spot to grab a sandwich and read the newspaper. Friendly staff in a nice little neighborhood nook.

Oh, no no no. I have tried this place a few times since 1) I love greasy spoons 2) it’s a 4 min walk from my house 3) I really want to like both. But this last time will sadly be the last. BF and I had decided to ease our hangovers with a cooked breakfast. Although we had had a sub-standard B&E roll there a few months ago, we opted for Piccadilly due to its proximity and since I thought the cost would be less than normal, plus we wanted to give them another shot. I ordered a big breakfast for BF(bacon, eggs, beans, sausage, mushroom, tomato, toast) for $ 14.50. Eggs Benny for me(which was promised to be on turkish bread) was $ 13. Instead of bacon or salmon, I asked for mushrooms instead.(Now — this was my mistake. In hindsight — DONT make changes in a place you think is suspect anyway.) Old mate behind the counter said it was fine. I also ordered a large flat white for BF plus a large juice for me. Bill came to $ 42. I asked to see the receipt. Large coffees are $ 4.50. They charge $ 1 extra on Sat and Sun to die in! Didn’t like that to start — plus he charged me an extra $ 1.50 for the mushrooms, even though they were in replacement of /cheaper than meat. But I made the change so I dealt with it. BF’s came out OK and was decent — it’s a fry-up after all. A full 10 mins after his meal arrives, mine comes. Bread was a muffin which was super soggy from mushrooms not cooked properly(i.e., cooked until all the moisture was out), minimal amt of hollandaise, with the poached eggs(gasp!) cooked hard. I brought the plate up and asked for eggs cooked the proper way, but offered to keep my plate. 10 mins later, out come the eggs, after which time there was very little left on my plate. Again, my mistake, but still not a good experience. TL;DR — greasy spoon quality food with so-so service at normal café prices. Don’t waste your money or calories. Plenty of other options around Paddo that wont make you pay an extra $ 1 just for the privilege of sitting down.

A great place to have delicious coffee and the freshest meal, you need to visit Piccadilly Café on Oxford Street. They serve Monte Coffee which is really yummy, aromatic, everything that a good cup of coffee should be. Their food is equally delicious made from the freshest ingredients. While their food and coffee are great, it’s the service that they offer that makes it a fantastic café. The staff are friendly and always smiling that you’ll find a hard time not smiling back. If I were to rate their customer service, I’d give it an 11 out of 10! Yummy food, great coffee, and friendly people all combine to make this café a must-visit place for anyone in the area or outside it.
