It’s more than just a place to grab coffee — locals clearly use it as a reliable morning and brunch destination, with early opening hours that accommodate busy schedules and neighbourhood routines.

The atmosphere strikes a balance between cozy and lively, driven by friendly staff who engage easily with customers, creating an inviting space even on the busiest mornings.

Jorge’s Café is easily one of the best spots around my workplace, and I have been visiting it regularly for over a year. From the moment you walk in, the staff make you feel genuinely welcome. They are always friendly, smiling, and happy to have a short conversation, which creates a positive and energetic atmosphere, especially during busy mornings. One big advantage is that they open quite early, which is perfect for early starters. They offer a good variety of food options every day for both breakfast and lunch, with choices available for dine in or takeaway. Although I have not personally dined in, there is plenty of seating available. During lunchtime it gets very busy, but the team manages the rush impressively well and the waiting time remains reasonable. The food availability changes everyday, so there is always something different to try. I once ordered takeaway catering for our staff, and they prepared a selection of stews, rice, pasta, salads, and potato cakes. Overall, the food was tasty and well received by everyone. Some dishes were slightly oily, but they were still enjoyable and delicious. Their sandwiches are also excellent. My personal favourite is the salami sandwich with eggplant, zaatar, olives, feta cheese, and tomato relish, which they offer daily and is consistently good. The coffee is another strong point. It is good quality, prepared quickly, and clearly popular with regular customers. Overall, Jorge’s Café is a reliable and well run place with great staff, good food variety, and a welcoming vibe. It is an excellent option for both a quick coffee and a satisfying meal during the workday.

The staff, service and food here are fantastic. When we have workplace toolboxes, I order large amounts of food to cater my staff and they have food ready for times I have booked to pickup. Food is great with a great variety.

Came in yesterday and got one of the best rolls of my life! When I came back today, the entire menu had changed. No rolls on offer, nothing to grab and go. Not even a pie or a sausage roll unless you want a spinach sausage roll which im sure is a BIG seller.. Was really looking forward to a great lunch

I recently visited Jorge's Cafe on Somerville, and I must say, the coffee was exceptional. The egg and bacon toastie was a delightful treat as well. The combination of these delicious offerings makes this cafe a must-visit for any coffee and breakfast enthusiast.
