Barista (nice lady!) is friendly in a non-overly chatty sort of way (which is great when you're not caffeinated in the morning), just amazing. Clearly she has a rapport going with the regulars, which is great to watch. Food is good, nothing fancy but I like it like that. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I think coffee is fantastically made. With nice coffee art and all. After submitting this review, I'll probably get another coffee!

All during my trip throughout the United Kingdom, my lady and I stayed in guest houses that…read moreincluded breakfast. And, of course, most of them were the Full English kind (made vegetarian). None of these homemade breakfasts made with love (or at least putting up with tourists) came even close to the one I had the first day off the plane at this coffee shop. Located in the middle of a row of hotels and hostels in a basement a slight walk from the British Library, this place is a treat. There are two comfortable rooms of varying side bar stools and tables with cafe service. We were able to sit and drink lots of English Breakfast tea with (lots of) sugar in an attempt to get over jet lag. They provide the adorable little tea service that many other coffee shops do in an atmosphere conducive to studying or chatting or pretty much anything but sleeping. The prices are wonderful for the giant portions they offer on their Full English. The 6.95 we paid for food made it possible to completely skip lunch. I would have loved another veggie sausage since they was delicious (I actually got an extra one because I requested no mushrooms and they will make substitutions) but it's not like my stomach needed it. My lady could not even finish her delicious halloumi cheese sandwich. While I will probably not have a chance to frequent this place ever again, I can't recommend it to locals looking for breakfast and tea enough.

I was pleased that they had cold brew available. I enjoyed a cold brew with cherry foam that helped perk me up and kept me from falling into deep coma. The location is small and narrow. They do have counter seating overlooking Marylebone Road with traffic bustling at all hours. The queue tends to be manageable depending on the time of day. Our drink orders were done quickly where we had ours within a couple of minutes. The baristas were friendly and patient as we determined on our orders, so all in and all we were pleased.

First, the coffee. My espresso was wonderfully dark and strong while maintaining a smooth flavoursome overall profile in a machiatto which, for once, did not come served with far too much milk. At the moment they are using a home machine while they get themselves set up but that has not impacted the quality of brew. A proper machine should arrive next week. Second, the staff. Super friendly and helpful - I was given recommendations for places to visit in Leeds (my second home) and are generally good natured and a pleasure to talk to. Third, the location. Just outside the north side of King's Cross. Just to spot for a quick post/pre train journey brew. In short. Pretty much perfect.

I asked the owner if they had a charger, and she was so incredibly kind about saying that I didn't need to order anything, and that they could take care of me. The vibes of the staff were amazing, I even caught them dancing in the kitchen. I came back the next morning to try the food, and got the carbonara. I'm typically not a fan of Italian food, but this dish was so rich that I have been converted. A new manager was in store, and he had the kindest, most supportive service as well. Everyone in the restaurant seemed like they were having a great time, and the atmosphere was extremely friendly. 11/10 service.

The service was uninviting and surprisingly rude when we asked about the coffee roast and the morning special- buy a pastry and receive a cold brew. One small example, I had already ordered a pastry but the main hostess denied that I should receive a free cold brew. The main issue though was "tone" and "unfriendliness". The espresso and pastry were good, not great. As we know, customer experience is everything and Redemption missed by not understanding that.

I'll be thinking about this place for a very long time…read more First of all, their French toast is THICK. Like, the biggest cut I have ever seen. It made me want to bake my own bread to get a slice that thick. The Istanbul is so beautifully presented. I loved the scrambled eggs, their appearance and buttery flavor. The French toast was amazing dipped in the not-so-sweet syrup. Each bite was perfection. The sucuk sausage was spiced so familiarly but also new to me. I loved it! Paired with the cheese (clotted cream) and it was a home run. Loved the lightly charred tomato, I added a little salt to them. Notably, the avocado with pomegranate was such a fresh and vibrant bite! Everything on the plate was a treat. I loved leaving the fruit for the end. It was garnished with two fresh mint leaves. The perfect palate cleanser. 5/5. Well deserved. Great service and good ambiance. I hope to eat here again in the future.
