Valentino’s

This place bangs out the cheapest ingredients highest price they can get away with. Avoid.

It might look like a sketchy hole in the wall from the outside, but Valentino’s is actually a very well-​priced, full service mom & pop restaurant. They have a seating area upstairs with about 5 or 6 small tables and a window overlooking Upper Street, and the wait staff will bring you your food and bus your plates once you are finished.
I just flew in from New York City this morning and came here for my first ever Full English Breakfast. I’m not used to baked beans alongside my eggs and sausage but I gather it’s the norm here and I quite liked it (I posted a photo on Unilocal). At $ 5 GBP it’s a great deal relative to other options in the area.
I’ll admit I was attempting to go to Breakfast Club nearby on the recommendation of a friend but was turned off by the Saturday noontime queue.

A very nice place to have an amazing milky latte. Really good one in a nice big cup for £2 if you have it at the shop. I think around £1,30 for take away.
They have a nice range of food for lunch or a quick snack at very competitive prices. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Oh and they do breakfast too. Definitely worth a visit if you are around Islington or the Angel underground station.
