    Mascarpone omelette
    Shilpa M.

    Cute spot in a hidden plaza. Small but gourmet menu. Mascarpone and pesto omelette. Coffee varieties.

    Ambiance is great, servers so friendly and food comes to you fast, Try their lemonades and the Brioche is a new item and I cant explain how yummy it was, wiped chesse with berry jam and its peanut crumble

    26 Grains is small but sweet!

    This place is absolutely fantastic! Great food and nice people. Terrific chai! Get there early on weekends or there will be a line. It's worth it to be the early bird! Also...the people that work there are great and working hard. I hope everyone can be considerate and when you are done, walk to a bench somewhere and let someone else use your table. This is NOT a breakfast spot to nurse a cup of chai for an hour and a half and catch up with an old buddy...but there are so many places in Neal's Yard and Covent Garden where you can do that comfortably after your nice breakfast. And tip the people who work there! They are providing a really nice experience.

    Shakshuka

    Cute little cafe in the seven dials market. The coffee and tea are both amazing. My friend tried the shakshuka for breakfast and really enjoyed it. Definitely a spot I'll visit whenever I am in London next.

    Incredible coffee & even better food. We stopped after sleeping off our jet lag and the rhubarb compote on the 5 grain porridge absolutely healed us + Fried eggs in Ras el Hanout butter was irresistible. Make sure to get in early as the Neal's Yard restaurant filled up quickly within an hour of opening on a Sunday morning.

    If you come here, stick with the savory dishes and avoid the sweet! I love myself sweet porridge in the morning, but they make it way too sweet here. Hidden within Neal's Yard, this place offers the perfect farm to table dishes and highlights simple grains, avocadoes, and sprouts. In my most recent trip here, I got the savoury porridge with kale, egg, avocado, sriracha and seriously can't stop thinking about it. Oh Lawd was that good and pair that with their green smoothie - you are winning in life. Biggest downside is that they have somewhat small portions and it took about half an hour to get our food. They do warn you about this ahead of time, but if you are super hungry, this is not your place. The queue goes by really fast, but beware of waiting for your food.

    Delicious porridge. Long wait, but that's because the spot it so tiny. Come if you have time!

    This place is delicious! I came here on a Thursday morning around 9:30 for some breakfast. All 3 of us are vegan and the employees were more than happy to accommodate us. My brother and I had the Banana Tahini Porridge and my dad had the avocado toast. My brother also enjoyed an oat milk mocha. The food was so good! The porridge was so awesome. I loved the combination of banana + tahini with the oats. My dad's avocado toast was awesome as well. The toast was large but the porridge was on the smaller side.

    Cute spot for breakfast when the weather is nice. Loved the berry buckwheat bircher. Healthy, filling, just the right amount of sweetness. Turmeric latte with oat milk was also nice. B liked the daily special, but I'm not a smoky cheese person. Lots of other things on the menu I wanted to try.

    This is my absolute favorite place on earth. The oatmeal is TO DIE for. I have been here for breakfast three times over the course of two visits to London. I had the summer rhubarb porridge flavor, the savory oatmeal with kale, cheese (?), and egg, and the banana-tahini oatmeal. The banana was much richer and thicker, due to the tahini, than the rhubarb or the pear flavor that my mom ordered, but was by far my favorite. The aesthetic of the cafe is very enjoyable, its decorated with pickled vegetables and plants. There is pretty limited indoor seating so beware during cold or wet weather! Also, the food does take a longer than usual time to come out because they handcraft each bowl, so be prepared to wait! Definitely well worth the wait though. :)

    This was the best breakfast I've had during my stay in London. Little place down an alleyway that is easily missed, but this place should not be! Packed with flavor and the sourdough was an amazing addition that somehow added another level to the eggs. Will definitely be back when I return to London.

    Peach and pistachio porridge

    Great place - the selection of tasty porridges, teas and coffees are perfect to start your day. Salads for lunch and wine to wind down in the evening make this place a perfect place to swing by any time!

I decided to return early the next morning, and we were seated quickly. The staff is friendly and attentive. The cafe is quirky with shelves of vintage books and customer napkin art. You read that correctly - napkin art. A craft of water with fresh mint came out quickly. We ordered Americana coffees and I had the Eggs Drury. The food came out fairly quickly. My poached eggs were served on a massive bed of bacon and fresh made English muffins. The English bacon was incredibly delicious. It is no wonder that there are lines waiting to dine here. My husband had one of their premade breakfast sandwiches, made on fresh rolls, which he loved. There was a service charge added to the bill. I would definitely recommend and return.

I ordered the chorizo sandwich; the bread had a good crunch and the sun dried tomato added a bonus pop of flavor. The real winner and bar-setter for me was their iced vanilla latte. I'm not sure if it was the espresso or the vanilla syrup they used but it was probably the best latte I had. Inside the restaurant has lots of character and you can get more info on the decorations. Employees were kind and handled the business of the day with ease. If anyone happens to see this from the cafe, I'd really love to know what vanilla syrup is used as I'm still thinking about that latte weeks later!

Their servings are HUGE, and are so affordable too! I left wishing my mother and I had the ability to save our leftovers for later, because we hated wasting any of the delicious food that we ordered. Even before we got our food we were pretty excited. When you walk in you're greeted here with a beautiful sight: fresh sandwiches, bread, and pastries, all on display right at their main counter. Once we were seated I noticed little flower pots line the window, too. Fresh food and flowers - what more can you ask from a cafe for a first impression? We also loved the owner and his wife: they were very kind and they constantly kept us up to date on our food order, just to mention what was done and what they still needed to do or cook. They clearly work hard to provide fresh fast meals - and we learned quickly as people came in and out of the place that takeaway is available here. But we wanted to enjoy a sit down meal, and enjoy we did! I started mine with fresh squeezed juice - we're talking so fresh you'll want to add sugar to it if you're used to the juice that comes in stores. And when our English breakfasts came out? Just, wonderful. My mother and I each received SO much food. Both meals came with amazing buttered bread (like, I would have happily eaten an entire plate of bread and only bread), hash browns so fresh that they may as well have given us the original potatoes (yum), and what I can really only describe as a mountain of beans, eggs, and meat (well, on mine anyway - not so much on my mother's vegetarian breakfast order). All of it absolutely delicious, and every single bite made me smile wider and wider. Definitely walk on in if you're near this little shop. Don't be afraid to order one meal and share it if there's only two of you, either - you'll likely both leave well fed, and you can always order a little more food if you want too from that great looking counter of theirs...

They went out of their way to make forthright suggestions about items and the wines by the glass. The winner was the pea and mint soup. The delicate balance between the fresh mint and the creamed peas was remarkably well done. The cafe is beautifully designed, warm and welcoming.

We made reservations at 3pm but it seemed like they had several other tables available for walk-in. The server asked if this was our first time for high tea (not sure if this is protocol or if we were dripping with American vibes). Either way, they were great at walking us through everything to make sure we didn't have any questions. The table settings and overall vibe made me feel like we were super fancy! I ordered the Egyptian Chamomile tea and my husband ordered the Earl Gray. The menu had descriptions of the types of teas which can help you pick out what you'd like. I think we both liked my Chamomile better with a tad of sugar which was on the table. We happened to visit during the Chelsea Flower Show time, so they had 2 different types of specialty desserts- we ordered one of each. The sandwiches were all delicious- I loved the salmon and my husband wanted to ask for the Coronation Chicken Salad recipe. The scones were out of this world, and I have a new favorite food called clotted cream. The desserts were so, so good and had a little bit of everything- chocolate, tarts, fruity...you'll find something you like! To be quite frank, we did our due diligence with finding a place to have high tea. There were some that were almost twice as expensive as this place, and I have a hard time believing they would have been twice as good. If you're looking for a simple afternoon tea experience, make sure to add this to your short list. Brasserie Max is elegant, simple, and delicious- highly recommended!
