Ace Breakfast at the Ace Cafe NW London

Ace breakfast at the Ace Cafe NW London. A nice ride out on Daisy (Ducati V2 Streetfighter) to Ace Corner to the famous Ace Cafe. The big breakfast here is off the charts, just wasnt a fan of the bubble. Sausages were amazing.... and I forgot to buy a pack on my way out. Well worth a visit to Ace Cafe at Ace Corner. #acecafe #bestbreakfast #topnotch

I well remember " The Ace Cafe" in the late 1950s ,rows of BSA, Vincent, Triumph norton bikes parked outside, those were the days ! great breakfast even then .

[@wannawinabear]

Delicious grub and yes the sausages are the best. Nice strong tea. Cant grumble at all. Love it

[@margaretnadin8030]

Normally I would say Branston however, we are now producing our home grown beans in Lincolnshire and they are seriously good. Withy herby Lincolnshire sausage, local bacon and fresh eggs, off the Charts. JimN

[@stephenwood8453]

Makes me hungry just watching it!!! No mushrooms today and half a tomato?

[@earlbee3196]

Yesterday I made Creamy Chicken Broccoli Soup! Today, I’m going to make an all day, fry up pretty much the same as what you’ve got there , Thanks for sharing.

[@karenclancey2557]

A very nice looking breakfast.😜👍👍⭐️👏

We love the return of "cheers" in the intro 😁

Waiter! There's a fly in my soup. Don't worry the Waiter replied. There's a spider on your bread! Please tell more jokes, made me giggle! 😂😂😂

Are yes, the old ones are always the best ,this looks proper.and not an ash brown in site lovely

[@paulhartley7459]

breakfast looked decent mate sausage is the best part of a breakfast for me it actually was buying supermarket sausage that drove me to make my own i now know what goes in them POrk shoulder only and i have diff mixes for pork or cumberland and absolutely love them

[@garrick43]

Used to love that place for a hangover breakfast when I lived near Park Royal - I always got their fresh orange juice as well, just to help with the dehydration. Might have to visit again - when the hangover is big enough!

[@LouiseMiddlebrook]

Hi, great breakfast, the eggs looked delicious 😋 could eat it right now. Nice to see The streets of London so quiet, really pretty . Thanks 😊🥹

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Thank you! 😃

[@wolvoman1]

Certainly looks much better than 'Gary Eats' breakfast at £50 (for two people) and you got a mug of tea.

Hi Darren the breakfast looked lovely those sausages looked yummy nice vlog majella Ireland

[@marcse7en]

It's Brown Sauce on a fry-up, in fact, it's Brown Sauce on everything! I was weaned on the stuff! ... As for Baked Beans, it's Aldi Essentials at £0.28, 'cos I'm tight! As you may know, the 1964 biker film, "The Leather Boys" feautured scenes shot at The Ace Cafe London.

Hi Darren … will you show us northerners how to make bubble … always looks good!😊

[@johngibson3837]

I asked for that a while back and got a response which said look to a previous video, did that and couldn't find it, anyway it's bubble and squeak which is left over veg fried with mashed spuds

[@jasonantigua6825]

@@Benny9595-ss1pqHe has done!

[@griswald7156]

I need that video too..Darren shug, as I’m in the north..and my southern dad showed me once..he only ever showed me things once..maybe it’s a cultural norm? Which are the best ingredients to bubble with? Does it have to be yesterday’s cooked left over veg . Or can it be done tastily from fresh veg? I think I’ve only ever eaten it about twice..I think mushrooms would be a great ingredient..pretty please Darren.lets all get rid of hash browns around town and get real on this sceptred isle..

[@angelagraham9533]

My son loves the Ace Cafe as he loves motorbikes ,just as well we live close to it. Brown sauce with bacon.👏🏻🫶🏻😊By the way was one of the songs a Simon and Garfunkel one. I love it.

The quality of the food at the Ace has always been superb whatever dish you order and it is also superb value for money

[@marraaman]

Darren great video as always, can you do a video on how you cook your bubble??👍👍

[@flokser021]

April 26, 2024, after several years of planning, I visited the famous Ace Cafe London and when you look and behold, I sat at the same table and ordered the same British full breakfast. Unfortunately, the motorcycle event that was supposed to be on that day was canceled due to rain and 7 C of cold. : HD & Indian bike event. The Ace Cafe London key ring I bought there will always remind me of that day. Nice video , thank You .

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Thanks for sharing

[@bpfromowc]

Looks lovely. The sausages & eggs especially look good.

[@brewsterkits]

so Darren, what is a good bubble??, mine is usually greens, potato and some onion, nice breakfast

Needs some mushrooms with that and proper bubble.

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

Perfectly cooked for me. What was that building originally, looked a bit like a car showroom ? x

[@carolgriffiths1682]

Looked good and the premises looked interesting - more bubble needed tho.

That was a very good joke DJ.

[@qualitygoldfish2198]

Looked cracking

[@stevechandler4607]

This is not what I need to be seeing first thing in the morning after missing breakfast… starving now!! Looks banging

[@WaferBrik]

*What do you call someone with jelly in one ear and custard in the other? A trifle deaf.* (Not as good as your joke, Darren.) That looked a treat. I feel so Hank Marvin now I could eat a horse between two bread vans. I'm not familiar with bubble and squeak but though you weren't sold on this version it looked yum. I was interested to see your egg yolks weren't runny, having read docs in the US are urging eggs be well cooked due to bird flu. I love a runny yolk provided it's not clear and slimy. Another smashing review.

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Hi darren hope you have the best Breakfast. In Cumbria we call it breaking. All different accents. Enjoy . Thank you. ANN in Cumbria. 😊😊
