    I see Beautiful
    Susan F.

    PINK PINK PINK! So charming and fun. The theme is beautiful and the food is styled to match. With so many items to try one could create a wish list fit for a princess. Fanciful, romantic and futuristic. I had a sandwich of cheese bookended with pink bread and topped with violets!!! The velvet latte was sweet and paired well! London has a lot of these cafes dotted within the city and I look forward to trying them all! The staff is friendly and the place has limited seating. Outside and the first floor had about 7 tables. The really crowded and hot feeling downstairs has a little more seating. It's across from Hyde park so I chose outside for the beautiful view of artful statues and fresh air.

    Adorable, pink, fairytale vibes! I loved everything about ELAN CAFE! So trendy and cute. An excellent choice to have a nice cup of English tea and brunch. I ordered hot earl grey tea and the spicy tuna sandwich. The server was sooo sweet but she was new so it took her forever to bring our orders however she was really kind and the manager made sure any mistakes were handled. I enjoyed my experience here and the service was very nice. I can't wait to visit again.

    Hot breakfast and Sicilian chicken

    This is one of the smaller locations but still beautiful! They don't take reservations here so you may have to wait to get in. The waiter was very nice and helped move people to the table with the cute sign and flower wall. He knows we all want to sit there lol. The food was great. The desserts are delicious and even my husband and son found something savory to eat instead of coffee and desserts.

    Dulce de leche (milk cake) with berries.

    The cake was delicious and fluffy. Somewhat overpriced slice for the price of £8.75 & could definitely split with someone. Only giving 4 stars because the workers in there were snooty & rude. Did not smile and treated customers poorly.

    So this place is weird. It's basically full of tourists overpaying for cute pastries so they can take Instagram pictures. I work nearby and the fact that people line up waiting to eat here is bizarre. That said, my office is nearby and this is the closest place where I can get a decent americano (I used to go to parcafe up the street, but they were rude and gave a colleague a vicious bout of food poisoning). It's usually quick in the morning for takeaway, though I did get annoyed this morning when my order was held up by the cashier who was busy flirting with another customer. I also have noticed that despite the fact that I order the same thing everyday, I have been charged £2.20, £2.40, and £2.80, depending on the day. Would definitely not waste precious travel time here, but if you need a coffee, it's an option.

    Nutella hot chocolate and strawberry cake

    Long wait and high prices, but good services and delicious food and drinks. TIP: make sure to look at the pictures of the location you want to visit, because each location has certain decorations and this one is one of the smaller locations. So if you're going to take pictures I wouldn't recommend coming here. However, if you don't mind waiting almost 30 minutes in line for above average bakery food this location fits that description. Also, fyi that there is a time limit per table so not a great place to just chill out and relax for a while. The service is still great despite their long line. I also ordered a nutella hot chocolate and strawberry cake and was blown away by how good it was. The food is good, but you could probably eat somewhere just as good without the long wait.

    Delicious and adorable brunch spot. My friends and I all went here and were not disappointed. I got their matcha latte and oatmeal. The matcha came with a teddy bear shaped latte art! They have 3 different oatmeal options. I asked my waitress which was her favorite and she told me a combo of the three. She gave me that with no extra charge for extra toppings! It was delicious porridge! My friends got açaí bowls (I tried tasted it and it was great), avocado toast (which my friend also raved over), and Benedict's (also raves over). Their croissants were fresh too and their pastries all were beautiful. Everything came with edible flowers and was presented beautifully. Would definitely go back.

    Amazing breakfast

    Too long of a wait for a subpar place. My yogurt had a hair in it. Do not go to the location near Hyde park- small and way overrated

    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...

    Had the New Yorker. Hit and fresh bread, what you want in a panini. Staff was friendly and…read moreefficient. I'd eat here again if you just want a quick sandwich and not in the mood for pub food. Though I did not have any, their desserts look really good too.

I had rice with meatballs in a tomatoe sauce which was a bit hot and very delicious. The waitress (I guess the owner of the café) was very nice and friendly, did ask if we want drinks or dessert. You can sit outside and inside. I would highly recommend you trying this café and I love to go there again next time I am in London!

    This is one of London's remaining "proper" cafes. The owners are genuinely lovely and welcome…read moreeveryone with a smile and even remember you if it's been months between visits. I always come to this establishment if I'm in the area and demand that my colleagues meet me there. I've never heard a complaint. Many local establishments wouldn't know a "full English" of it slapped them across the back of their legs, but you won't be disappointed here. Decent, tasty, full-sized sausages, quality bacon and all of the assorted extras that would set anybody for the day. The coffee is good and if you've still got space for lunch later, they also sell a range of delicious sandwiches. The owners are flying the flag for English (no fuss) breakfasts. The interesting thing is that neither of the owners are native Brits, but they've certainly created a welcome oasis in this part of London. Even the health conscious and vegetarians will be happy. Highly recommended.
