I love the history of the Ace and never tire of visiting but I'm sad to say I find the food dissapointing. Stopped in for a bacon & egg sarnie pre MCN Excel yesterday and again found it lacking.
Could do better..
I can't believe this places is real. A lot of culture in the same place
Really nice place!
I love it and recommend it to everyone specially if they like motorcycles.
The environment is relaxed, the staff and the customers are friendly.
Very cool American style diner with a fairly good sized menu. The chips were good. We went on Porsche night but the sweet parking attendant let us park in the lot because we drove in with our vintage 2CV
Great to have it open again bikes beer and sun.. and lovely girls
Great place to visit, good food, nice people, you should have a look.
Cool place to visit Friday and Saturday night.
Here you can see many motorcycles and cars. Allows fantastic place for night.
My dealing with this cafe has been to purchade items. So far, the order is sent, the items arrive within 3 days, very good service. I will take a trip to the cafe one day.
One of the best experience in my life! One of the best place I ever seen!! Fantastic place, good music and incredible and delicious burgers!! Good vibes, good times spent inside!! Yeah!!
Good place to eye up other bikes, grab a coffee in a mug, and something to eat.
There is a very full calendar of events for bikes, socials, and cars, so keep an eye out for the things you're interested in, and make sure you go on those days.
Of course, there's nothing to stop you from going on any day!
Simple food but the taste is powerful. Basic decor. Very friendly staffs.
Great atmospheric diner themed cafe with reasonably priced food. There s always some interesting vehicles to look at in the car park.
Staff were great very polite and professional.. food was delicious.. good value for money.. recommended for anyone in the area looking for a decent meal in a themed environment
Brilliant as ever. Been going for years & always have one of their Ace brekkys (and they are exactly that) or the equally good Chilli, Chips & Cheese with some added Tabasco sauce but beware.. you get a lot for your money
Iconic. Been said many times. A bunch of leather jackets and petrol heads mostly. Nothing wrong with that. Comfort food. My lasagna was tasty but had microwave cold spots :(. Beer also average (boddies). Not much heating in there either but as I said, lots of jackets.
When no events are on it's quiet n relaxed. You could then walk around the place and read up about the history of it and see posters of past n present events, photo's on the history of the cafe, the people of that era, the music, the movies, etc.
You could also keep a record of what's on over the coming months, etc. And, there's plenty.
If you've never been, it's worth a shot.
The staff are warm, welcoming & friendly and eager to help.
There is a large selection of food choices of differing diet preferences. Coffee's only a quid.
Enjoy!
Great place to come and feel relaxed and enjoy some no-nonsense snap. Good selection of drinks, some fine machines outside too! There's a live band on at the minute and the place is decked out in Halloween decor. Definitely recommend a visit if you're in the Wembley area.
An iconic London cafe, if you like motor bikes and good food, you cant go wrong.
Fantastic place, great food very friendly staff friendly visitors. Full of history if your into motorcycles. But they also have classic car day's
Great place, but food doubled in price in last 2 years.
First visit. Great place to meet and have a coffee.
Love this historic rendez-vous ... feel the atmosphere, even on a weekday afternoon.
Always a good place for petrol heads to come together cars and bikes. Also don't look down on you when you randomly turn up for a late night picture of 2. Easy to get to in London right next to the North Circular, always get service with a smile and such a heritage. Long live Ace!
Seems a good place to meet up but don't bother ordering food, took me 30mins for my order to be taken and after another half an hour not even my coffee had arrived. It was a busy evening but most of the cafe had been seated and delivered their food before I had even got to order
Cafe was famous in the 50s +60s with the rockers and bikers.Was shut down and turned in to a garage. It was rediscovered and much of the original fabric of the cafe was found behind false walls. The new owners have now turned it into a venue that bikers travel to from all over Europe. Host many ride outs for charity during the year. Themed nights on thur and Fri nights from classic scooters to performance and fast bikes. Sunday daytime is bike day. Bring what you ride. Last sat of the month from 4pm is All American and pre chelsea cruise for cars.
Good cafe food. Teas . Coffees. A selection of beers.
Can even get there by tube.Stonebridge park only 200 yards away.
The Ace Cafe....you either know it or you don"t. The Place.
Didnt actually go the cafe but went to the road for the bike meetup and it was great
Excellent transport cafe with proper food. Not very busy on a wet Tuesday morning but all the staff were cheerful and the service first class.
Great place for a proper english breakfast. Great food and even better staff.
Never been here but always wanted to go while me and my wife desided to stop for a bit of lunch it was lovely and I will be back on a busy Friday night
The roads leading up to it are grey and dreary, the view is grey and dreary, the food is average quality and high price, the car park and the interior are tired, the staff do their best. Some people love it ...
Lovley staff! Came here for a couple of hours for a breakfast and drinks. Nice day out!
This is a great place to meet up bikers. I have done few times club run etc. Such a lovely place with good atmosphere. Highly recommend and surely will be returning in the future.
* if you have a club, better inform them earlier to arrange you parking etc. The guys do a good job. Also don't forget to visit weekends to see some great events happening there.
Great cafe and a great place to hang out. There's food and drink here the same as any other cafe, but what the other cafes lack, is the character and feel of this place.
Its proper old skool, original and retro and if you like your bikes, yours cars and your classics, then pop in here for a brew and just see what pulls up outside.
Many events staged here and many meetings through out the year. A really cool place
Ace cafe is a great place. More a transport cafe than a restaurant. Still good food and drink. It's noisy but it's great for petrol heads of all kinds.
They should take note of the great food on offer at caffeine and machine
Great breakfast and hot drinks. Not bad prices. Great experience
Try to get to the ace at least twice a month fantastic staff fantastic food fantastic atmosphere have been coming her for the last 12 years
My dad used to come here in the 60s brought back good memories
A legendary place when you visit london by bike, must be really fun when party.
Lots of motorcycle dudes hang out for chat and show off sexy bikes
I've been regularly visiting the Ace Cafe for years and as a meeting place or when an event is on it's fine. Otherwise there's no reason to visit, especially as the food is invariably very badly cooked, to the extent that I no longer order food there. Friends have complained or sent the food back on many occasions.
Porsche club night was great and so was food & drink 10/10 can't wait to go again soon
Great atmosphere! We had a break here while we were riding from Paris to the Midlands and always wanted to stop there. A nice mix of bikes of all types and cars. Very relaxed place
Absolutely iconic location.
I have always viewed photos of previous meets and thought that I should really go one day.
Today I have ventured and I was not disappointed.
The Ace Cafe is definitely Ace.
You need to come all its glory for yourself so come visit.
Went on a event night. Loved it! If you are a auto enthusiast deffo worth a try.
Epic place for bikers. Fridays normally rammed with 2wheels. Average food but good beer :)
Not really that good, shop it definitely too expensive, food is not so great. I only recommend going there if you are with your friends and with your motorcycles. Very quiet.
Always good breakfast at fair prices. Toilets nice and clean. Staff are courteous also.
Been going here on and off for around 30 years.
Bikers paradise at weekends, but during the week standard crowd looking for a good fry up.
Pretty spartan place with basic tables and you often have to sit with someone you may not know.
Basic but good food, some people call it a straight "greasy spoon" but guess the odd fry up does not hurt you as long as you exercise properly.
Great place, a local landmark in Stonebridge Park.
Real place, real food, realistic prices and a nice pint of guinness. There needs to be more places like this in the world
nice cup of tea and a bacon sandwich not the cheapest but not to pricey, nice fresh bread.
Lovely beer and cheesy chips.
A wonderful experience at this classic historic venue
Nice cafe, nice staff, nice waitress... ask for Jack.
Nice atmosphere, food is great and affordable. Great place to hang around with your mates
Brilliant meeting venue with anything to do with wheels and a motor. Catch up with friends or enjoy a beverage and a bite to eat. Petrol Heads paradise ;-)
Staff were polite and kind, not what you'd expect at a bikers cafe though! Loved it!
Always pop in for a cup of tea. Always few awesome machines around. Plenty of events. And decent food.
This place is amazing if you like motorbikes and cars.
You will find bikers from all over Europe and I guess is a unique place.
In all London there is not a place like that.
It s magic.
Car rallies , bike stunts and black leather toughs is only a small percentual of what you're going to see in Ace Cafe London.
Merchandise is available , brooches ,t-shirts and much more.
If your soul is seeking for adrenaline ' s pulse just pass by ace cafe on Friday night.
We will talk about it..
Thumbs up!
Excellent place for car and bike shows... lovely food in cafe
Great place if you love engines, there s always something amazing.
Unfortunately closed due to Covid 19 , been before and has a excellent atmosphere
Ace Cafe London is famous for its motorcycle riders favouritism.
Actually during the week days is a place for local office and building workers to meet, eat and drink.
We had coffee here which we didn't like their taste and quality but I saw many costumers who enjoy their meals and drinks.
Maybe next time we'll have some breakfast or other meals instead to find out more about their foods.
However, the environment is interesting and worthy to visit with a lot of traditional motorcycle riding related staff.
As far as I know there are some riders gathering on weekends and some holiday and they arrange some riding programs around the city.
Ace cafe what can you say. A great place to car meet. Great food and a nice place to go to. Cheese chilli chips you have to try standard!!! Five stars from me.
Wanted to go for ages now that I live fairly close. Took advantage of Open House wkend to visit and have breakfast. Nothing fancy about this place. Food or decor! I think the outside of building best thing about it. My made up breakfast was pretty dull with the palest looking scrambled eggs.
Ignorant rude staff, clearly need to be trained In customer service, perhaps the owner should watch the news, regarding Exemption for health reasons,
ALWAYS WONDERFUL PLACE where to meet people that share the same passion. I am visiting Ace Cafe regularly in the last six years that I have move to London. Mark is a really nice man that has always a good story to tell. Thanks for the hospitality and for the organized meeting for motorcycle.
Repeat visit, but first since lockdown! An amazing job at providing indoor & outdoor seating, at social distance. As ever staff are polite & helpful and food just as good as normal. I did miss my filter coffee though!
If you likes cars and bikes then this is a Great place to visit and have a nice cup of tea
It s great to come here, myself and biker friends have been here many many times for breakfast before a ride-out and I still pop up for breakfast on the weekend. But they re having a bad day today on both wait times for a fry-up (25+ minutes when very quiet) and cooking standards (floppy pale bacon with the fat hardly rendered out) so I m hoping this will be better next time.
Ace is my closet bike link up cafe....it s a little bit dated but does the job. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Food is good. Can get really busy when events are on or the weather is good. A good place to use as a meeting point.
If you ride, you know it already, if you don't...just drive there or take a bus :)! Nice place, great meeting point for anybody on wheels (two or otherwise) large car park, large food portions, a bit pricey but worth it. Friendly staff and friendly customers, good spot!
This is a great place to meet up bikers. I have done few times club run etc. Such a lovely place with good atmosphere. Highly recommend and surely will be returning in the future.
Iconic place to visit if you have an interest in car or bike history. Regular meetings for classic cars. Good sized portions of food which seems to be reasonably priced. Can be a bit of a pig to get to depending on the time of day and traffic on the North Circular Road.
Staff are brilliant very friendly. Great events all sorts of meet ups will visit again soon
They have regular car & motorcycle events & rock n roll music.I have only ever been to the Ford 100e club rally there which is held annually & have gone for 3 years as I used to have one of these cars.Food is good & reasonably priced had a breakfast there last Sat.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from owner as I'm exempt from wearing the mask because of my health issues I.e copd was told to leave because of his rule that everyone had to wear one even if excempt I even explained what copd is and was told don't care even though I am medical excempt never will go bk to this place
An historic place, with so much history to tell... but then, when you are there, it's a quite disappointing. Food is nothing special, building and furniture old and not so clean, bikes on display could be lovely but they look marooned and forgotten aside (and dusty)...
For sure this place could give and mean much more than what currently meets the eyes.
An iconic must see place! Great food, nice atmosphere and plenty to drink - whether you're fueled by tea, coffee or of course beer!!
Awesome cafe!
Amazing breakfast food
Good event.. 2stroke haz.. Good place for food, and a chat..
Fridays are definitely not to be missed if you are abot of a petrol head
If they sold food for a living it would close down. Probably the worst food I've ever had in London. It is a good meet up place though,
Fascinating place to bike and car watch and also to watch bike-heads and motorheads of all ages, ethnicities and nationalities. Very reasonably-priced English nosh, probably not good for your cholesterol but FUN! Great staff.

Our History
The story of Ace Cafe London dates back to 1938 when it was first opened as a roadside cafe catering to truck drivers who were passing through the area. Over time, it became popular with motorcyclists who would gather there on weekends to socialize and show off their bikes. In the 1950s and 1960s, Ace Cafe became synonymous with the emerging youth culture of Britain known as "Rockers". These young rebels would ride their motorcycles to Ace Cafe wearing leather jackets and listening to rock 'n' roll music.
In the decades that followed, Ace Cafe went through several ups and downs but managed to survive thanks to its loyal fan base. In 1994, Mark Wilsmore took over ownership of the cafe with the aim of restoring it back to its former glory. Since then, he has worked tirelessly along with his team of dedicated staff members to make sure that Ace Cafe remains relevant in today's world while staying true to its roots.
