    Delicious cakes! Also - they give you a large pot of hot water so you can top up your tea, which is much appreciated. I had mushroom soup, which was very tasty!

    Nice selection of cakes, pastries and tea. The cafe is very cramped to the point that one feels like your own personal space is invaded.food is great, atmosphere needs a lot of improving. Tables are so near each other that you barely have space to walk between them. Not a comfortable place to have tea and pastries.go somewhere else. To be fair service is good and efficient.

    UP DATED REVIEW: If I could give this tiny little cafe 10* I would. Every time I visit I'm soooo impressed with the menu, amazing chef, food interesting and always flavoursome. Friendly staff too. UP DATE: Visited (August 2020) I witnessed full Covid safety procedures, with social distancing and all the very friendly staff were all wearing masks and face sheilds. An outdoor eating area is available during the weekend around the back, otherwise I believe it's take-aways, but do check website for more information. The food here is still incredible! Never have I been disappointed with their fantastic ever changing menu. This talented chef works magic producing amazing combinations with such interesting ingredients. It's a joy to eat here. Yesterday we visited yet again and yes, at first I was a little disappointed that the food came in take away boxes - but I am soooooo glad I ordered... yummy yummy yummy 😋 Thanks guys, all your efforts are well appreciated during these difficult times.

    I was looking forward to trying this coffee shop for a cappuccino and morning pastry, but their pastries are all vegan and their £3 cappuccino served only in paper cups. I walked out, sacrificing the money and the tip that is charged when paying contactless, after I asked the barista to make it in one of the regular cups right in front of her and she said they only serve in paper cups.

    Lovely place with delicious cake and a splendid bookstore, but were really disappointed to realise we were being served with single use cups ans cutlery despite sitting in. Hoping the place will be ecologically more up to date next time we visit London!

    The coffee was so good but the cheesecake is quite small though I paid 7,5 for latte and a small cheesecake. Other than prices, loved the place.

    Vibrant coffee and tea shop next to a bookstore serving hot drinks and cake/pastries. Easy access from the British museum.

    Coffee not too bad but service is terrible. They serve on paper cups even 30 minutes before closing and make so much noise cleaning their dishes like to make it clear that they are in their last hour of shift. They seem not to care about their customers.

    I needed a bespoke Vegan cake for 2 people. Terry kept in touch with me regarding flavours and options and created an Amazing birthday cake for my wife. Absolutely delicious! Thank you so much :)

  • 5/5 A. Drake B. 1 year ago on Google
    Astonishing value and consistently excellent pates, soup, sweets. One of the best places in London for a light bite… correspondingly busy.

    Walked all the way here, arrived at 4.09pm but the website and signage outside says open until 5 but they said they are closing. I was rudely told by the waitress to leave immediately after entering.

    Best cake in London! Can arrange bespoke cakes on their website too. Thanks for the delicious graduation cake!

    Twenty minute wait for coffee with no apology, when it arrived it was very average. Woefully understaffed and poor service.
