    Bad Egg...not far from my opinion of this place. For different people tried to seat us in four different locations, after which someone finally decided where we should go. That's where the attention stopped, as it took 15 minutes for someone to come by to take our order. We were asked for drinks order only, and we said we preferred to order all at once - due to delays up to now, of course - which earned us a serious stink eye. Food was meh...pancakes dry and eggy with soft bacon, breakfast tacos overrun with annoying amounts of chipotle mayo, and kimche hash fusion dish was coated in far too much chilli oil instead of being a legit dish. Oh, and the coffee is burnt...must be a result of the hellish noise levels when this place gets full. Give it a miss, head round the corner to the gastropub.

    Now this review is based on a free breakfast so has to get a high rating however the breakfast was great! Bad Egg has been open for a few months now but after one or 2 months they did a stunt (spotted in timeout) where they offered a free breakfast bun to the first 100 customers each day for a week Bf and I work nearby so went for it. We arrived at 7.50 thinking there'd be a massive queue however it was empty! We were 5thish in the queue however just past 8 it got pretty hectic The service was quick and they were so friendly even tho it was all free We both got pbj and fried chicken bun which was sooo good! I've been dying to go back for dinner and plan to in the next month and then also on my list for a brunch as well! Menu looks great!

    Bad Egg was a last minute decision before seeing a play at the Barbican. It was a mixed experience, while the staff were very friendly and service was fairly quick some of the food and drink was dissapointing. It started with one of my party ordering a beer from their menu under a heading which said 'bottled beer' the resulting beer was delivered, not bottled, but in a can! At £5 a beer you don't expect it to come in a can the size of a coke! The same person then ordered an all day brunch which he said was certainly not the best he'd had in London, not terrible just not great either! For a place that specialises in eggs the scrambled eggs were not that great. On the other hand I ordered a burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cheese fondue sauce they put on it was amazing! The burger was well cooked and the bun was tasty. It was a little on the pricey side considering you order sides separately but I enjoyed it none the less and would rank among some of my favourite burgers in London! Overall a mixed experience, I wouldn't rule out going again but it wouldn't be top of my list!

    I need to lie down now....

    Best to eat here, only when you are VERY VERY hungry! Evil food, damn tasty! Great service. Cheeseburger hash recommended.

    Fried chicken pancakes with a banana slice on top, fries, and the bad egg burger.

    Although a bit pricey at £35 the brunch is delicious and the mimosas are bottomless.

    When I walked by the window and saw the incredibly awesome pastries, I decided that I had to eat at…read moreDrury. There was a considerable line outside waiting for a table. 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.

    Drury 188-189 was our first stop in this last visit to London and it truly set the bar for the rest…read moreof the trip. 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!

    So my mother and I ate at a lot of eateries while we were in London last year. Only Bloomsbury Cafe…read moreleft us declaring defeat: we just couldn't finish our meals here. 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...
