Cafe Dem sits comfortably on Philip Lane, serving as a dependable spot for both quick coffee stops and more relaxed breakfasts in Tottenham. The cafe earns its keep with a straightforward, welcoming environment that locals appreciate for its no-fuss approach to good food and friendly service.

Inside, you'll find a spacious, clean setting that works well whether you're popping in solo or with a small group—parents with toddlers have noted the ease of access, though baby changing facilities are not available. The staff here make an effort to be obliging and efficient, contributing to a relaxed pace whether you're in for a speedy caffeine fix or a leisurely start to the day.

Regular visitors seem drawn to their well-cooked, homemade style breakfasts—especially the Turkish breakfast and full breakfast options, which offer hearty portions without stretching the wallet.

A great spot for a stop that’s is cheap and cheerful. The cafe is quite spacious, clean and the staff are welcoming. I came in with my toddler and we had breakfast which came out quickly. The toilet was bigger than I expected but didn’t have baby changing. The cafe is easy to find and has an extensive menu selection. I would recommend and come back again.
