Half Cup is a great spot for breakfast or brunch in London! My husband and I stopped in for brunch while we were waiting for our train at kings cross. There was a short wait in a line outside the restaurant but it was maybe 15 minutes for a table. We both started with coffees which were great! I had the sourdough toast with eggs and it was DELICIOUS- especially the toast. My husband enjoyed his pancakes as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

Great place for an early meal. Wonderful variety of menu choice. I'm having lox and bagel with a melon smoothie. Kiddo is having a breakfast with fresh apple cider. The service is great!; servers are quick and so friendly. The ambiance is simple but perfect for the space. Quiet music plays in the background. read more

I don't even know how to describe how amazing g the food is at Half Cup. We went twice during 3 days in London, does that explain enough. First visit I had the cauliflower with whipped miso tofu. Was so excited to have a savory breakfast that doesn't involve cheese or eggs. Delicious! Great seasoning and textures. Next visit was the waffle. Wow, I called it my fairy princess breakfast. I ate every speck of it. Wheelchair access (manual wheelchair) was okay. I was able to tuck my knees under the table both at inside and outside seating. Didn't look for the restroom. Door was propped open so no worry there. People who use larger power wheelchairs might have a hard time if it's crowded. I'm excited to go again someday! read more

Came here on a Thursday morning with a party of 4 around 830 and it was quite crowded. We waited maybe 20 minutes for a table. Service was quick. We ordered a full English breakfast, a Benedict & 2 of the pork belly noodles. Everything was delicious. The pork belly was a generous serving and cooked to perfection - I mean perfection. Crispy but not dry. I'm drooling! Would 10000% recommend. read more

Fresh, fun, great brunch spot in Kings Cross! They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait a bit during peak hours. Small cozy spot with beautiful ambiance. Efficient & quick service. Everything is super instagrammable and aesthetically pleasing. We ordered the Turkish Eggs with bacon, the Hash Benedict with ham, the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle and the Stuffed Croissant with Halloumi. The Turkish Eggs was so flavorful and the best thing we ordered at Half Cup. The Chicken & Waffle is also yummy! The hashbrowns are worth ordering on the side as well. As for drinks we ordered flat whites, dirty chai latte, lattes and orange juice. It was good enough that we came twice for brunch during our short trip! read more

Came here for breakfast. Staff was friendly. Good potion size. The smoke salmon was good. The chicken and waffle wasn't that great. The chicken was overly fried so it tasted burnt. Waffle was mediocre. The English breakfast was good. Decent meal but not sure I would come back read more

This place was nearby our hotel and we came to have breakfast one day. The restaurant was already busy at 9:30am and we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. I got the eggs on toast and my BF got the Half Cup English breakfast. The food portions were just right and we full from our meal. I would definitely comeback again. read more

Great brunch spot! Friendly staff, food was delicious, service was good. Arrived around 12:40pm on a Monday, no wait. It's a little small inside so I can image there being a wait during the weekends. They already have water with an herb placed on your table before you sit down. I ordered the chicken and waffles and espresso martini. Both were amazing. There is a seasoning on the chicken that is a must and the waffle was soft and very sweet. read more

Couldn't praise this place enough. The two of us were able to sit down and order right away, despite how busy it was. Service was fairly quick and friendly. The eggs Benedict was the best I've ever had, I love that the hollandaise was citrus forward. The coffee was super tasty but not too sweet. All around great breakfast spot. read more

I was not a fan of the meal overall but the scrambled egg and hash browns were really good. The toast was hard and the beans needed a bit of seasoning. I would recommend the restaurant overall but I would not get this meal again. read more

Half Cup - Traditional English Breakfast with scrambled egg on toast - Cafes Near Me - London, XGL

Randomly walking the streets of London and saw a line forming outside of Half Cup. Decided to wait in line; the menu looked good so we decided to give it a try. We were able to sit down after 25 minutes of waiting. Restaurant was busy so it took a while for someone to come to our table. We ordered the 2 for £15 mimosa, Pistachio Cream Waffle, Eggs on Toast one poached and one fried, with a side of bacon and hash browns. We also saw some pastries while waiting and got an order of the chocolate croissant and brownie cheesecake. The mimosas came out with a cute presentation of rose petals, but there was too much in the cup. Not able to have a sip without getting the petals in your mouth. The chocolate croissant was very good but could have been warmed up; we were not a fan of the brownie. They then brought out our meals. The waffles also had some inedible flowers on my plate and just a lot going on but def an instagrammable photo. Wasn't a huge fan of what I ordered. I wish I got to try the fried chicken & waffles instead. The eggs and bread were basic but cooked perfectly. Also enjoyed the hash browns; they were actually very good. The bacon was okay, much different than the bacon we have in the US. All in all, I think this place is just an Instagram/Tik Tok hot spot. Nothing special about what we ate. read more

Food was quite nice and the coffee was brewed to almost perfection. The could have done with a tiny bit more tea leaves or stronger leaves but otherwise all was good. Overall I'd give the food 4 stars. Problem how ever is that I only got a hold and cheese sandwich, that alone costed us £9 which was kinda ridiculous. I added an egg as well, and that was extra £2. So a hand and cheese sandwich for £11 is technical a real rip off and for that I took 1 star off. read more

Cute restaurant with delicious food and drinks. Came here one morning around noon and luckily they served brunch and breakfast. I had their pink dream latte: which had coconut milk and beet root and no espresso shot. It was really good and beautiful presentation. For food, we had the English breakfast and the English bun. The breakfast was delicious: the baked beans were the only thing that I wasn't a fan of. Loved the interior decor and the waitresses are really nice and attentive. We just waited a little outside before we were sat. Nice little place close to our hotel! read more

We're visiting London from the US and decided to stop by this place for breakfast since it was close to our hotel. When we first got here ~10am, there was a line out the door but it moved fast and we found out soon it was worth the wait. When we sat down, I ordered a dirty chai and my partner ordered a flat white. Both were delicious, the dirty chai was so flavorful. For our meals, I ordered eggs on toast with hash browns on the side. The eggs were scrambled perfectly, they were fluffy and well seasoned. My partner ordered the breakfast bun and he gave it a 9/10. The presentation of everything we ordered was a 10/10. You can tell they spend time on plating the food. We would definitely visit again. read more

Food: Hash Benedict, Butternut Squash & Feta Pancakes, Oreo Cookie French Toast Drink: Pink Dream Latte, Cappuccino Cute cafe for brunch with yummy food and drink and pretty decor! Would recommend the hash benedict for the classic brunch lover of poached eggs, and it comes on top of hash browns and a choice of smoked salmon, bacon, or halloumi. For more special items, the butternut squash & feta pancakes and oreo cookie french toast are solid choices. For special drinks, their pink dream latte is a nice drink made of beetroot that's really pretty and tastes great. There was a short wait when I got there, but the queue progressed pretty quick. read more

Great hash Benedict! Good service and a very sort line made for a excellent breakfast

We walked by this spot on the way to the train station. There was a line, unlike most other places, so we checked it out the next morning. We weren't disappointed! The atmosphere is fine, especially the brightly decorated interior walls. But it's the food that recommends the place. The menu has a range of diverse offerings, from traditional English breakfast items to chicken and waffles to an outstanding Turkish breakfast. We came back three times during our trip. read more

Great spot for brunch, and a quick walk from King's Cross, making it convenient to eat and get to the train quickly. When I visited London I knew I had to try English breakfast. The egg was cooked perfectly, and the bacon was nice and crispy. My favorite part was the grilled mushrooms, which complimented the dish well. It's a large portion and I was very full afterwards. I also had a coffee which was good. The restaurant is small and very busy, but very cute and cozy inside. I really liked all the art on the walls and the overall aesthetic. I think the food here was fairly priced with good options for breakfast. Service was a little slow when I went, but it was Sunday brunch so it was understandable. The menu is available on their website if you want to see it beforehand. I'd definitely recommend the place if you're looking for a cute brunch spot. read more

I heard of this cute cafe several times so decided to try it with my friend. But disappointingly it was not as that amazing as I would have expected. It was just normal English breakfast that you can find in any restaurant in the UK. The price is not that friendly as well counting its quality (£13). I assume I could find a cheaper one with the same quality. My friend was not satisfied either since she didn't want her French toasts covered with Orio and asked in advance if there would be too much orio on the toast. The waitress just told her there was only one Orio biscuit at the side but when it was served it was not the case at all! A bit disappointed to be honest. read more

Cute little cafe right near St. Pancras train station. Came by for breakfast before catching the train, and it was a lovely start to the day. Just got some egg and toast with a cappuccino. It was a good. I liked the bed of rockets/arugula with the eggs - nice touch. And the cappuccino was just perfect. Order at the bar/counter, and grab a seat. The interior is really cozy and bright. Really a lovely place over all. read more

Very very good breakfast. We end up eating 5 out of 10 days there for breakfast. Their flat white is best coffee

Great breakfast nice variety. Would recommend the Half Cup Breakfast. The Matcha was also very good.

Everything about this brunch spot is neat. I love the taste, quality, and overall presentation of the food. The overall presentation of the food is so dainty and well put together. I really admire it. This is one of my most memorable brunch spots in the London area. It is 10 minute walk from Kings Cross/St. Pancras Station. In addition, the walls of the restaurant are very colorful. The interior makes you want to stay all day. It gives me a hip and trendy vibe. On one side of the wall, I remember a painting of butterflies. Overall, Half Cup gave me the butterflies. I really want to come back again when I visit London. It was a very creative and unique spot that I was able to stumble upon. read more

Got the regular and veggie half cups. The food absolutely banged but it would've been better with more than one egg and less sweet of beans. Also we asked for the bill many times and didn't get it which kinda flopped but overall. Overall would go back. The Haloumi cheese clapped. read more

Half Cup is a trendy, slightly hipster-esque cafe right across Euston Road from King's Cross Station. The espresso drinks and pastries were scrumptious, and the dining set-up was cozy, with comfortable tables and colorful, artsy decor (such as greenery and paintings of multicoloured birds). It was a nice place to hang out with a friend and chat--and could also be a good place for reading or getting some work done. Check it out if you'd like some chill cafe time. read more

Fabulous spot for brunch! It was drizzling and we still sat outside because of the pretty views. Food was absolutely fire! Great portion and seasoned/cooked very well! I was actually very impressed because a lot of restaurants in London do not season well. However, Half Cup was spot on! Also, even though the line was out the door, we were seated within 10 minutes and received great service! So happy my friend suggested this place! 5 STARS BABES. read more

So good I had to come twice! I had my first breakfast in London here which set the bar too high for anything to match! I had a seat at the bar and got a cup of tea and the Half Cup Full English Breakfast. It was SO TASTY!!! To me, this is the ideal English Breakfast. The bacon is thick cut goodness, the roasted tomatoes are great and they include a portobello mushroom instead of just regular mushrooms. They even include a little arugula, which is a nice bit of leafy green to make you feel better about eating so much/the peppery taste adds a great contrast to the savory plate. This place is also SO close to Kings Cross you have no excuse not to come here!! AND while it was the tastiest breakfast I had in London, it was also one of the cheapest???? I was able to get this huge amount of food and tea for less than 15 pounds! Seriously can't recommend this place enough. read more

Rude manager. Threw my headphones without sincere apologies. Feel sorry for this restaurant with such a rude manager. I lost my headphones on Saturday and I called them immediately when I realized it. And when I went there on Monday, the staff told me that manager told them on the phone that it was kept in office while the office was locked that day. And she asked me to come the other day. When I came the next time, and the manager told me that my headphone was not there. I asked her why did she told me to come twice and when did she find that my headphone was not there. And she told me that IT WAS CLEANED ALREADY ON SATURDAY. so this means the two times I came making no sense. :) losting iPhone headphones is okay, I can buy another one again but the casual response from the manager make me feel that they don't take customer seriously. How can such a lovely restaurant with such a rude manager. I feel sorry for the restaurant. read more

We stayed nearby for a week while on vacation and this was our breakfast place 3 or 4 mornings in a row. Everything was very delicious and although the prices are not cheap the portions are very generous. Their pancakes are amazing and enough to feed two people! Coffee is good and tea as well. The place gets really busy so if you want to sit you might need to wait. Unfortunately, there's almost no ventilation inside so in the warm weather it gets tough... seating outside is nice but limited. I really miss your pancakes, folks! read more

Starving after the Eurostar Train? This place is pretty convenient! I was looking for some match and avocado toast so I was very happy to spot those items on the menu. They brought me the LARGEST avocado toasts ever. It was delicious but definitely not the healthy meal I was expecting (but oh well, YOLO). The matcha was good but a bit small. I was happy to see little flowers floating it it! It's a nice attention :)! read more

Went here on the back of the youtube clip, Porridge was A1 best I've ever had, waitress was attentive and Rooiboos tea was also very good ! Will return hopefully soon !! read more

Really cute cafe with a very interesting take on breakfast that they pull off deliciously. While staying in the Bloomsbury area we had a chance to try out a lot of different eating establishments and this one was on the top of our faves. We were afraid that it would be packed on a Sunday morning at 10am but they did have 1 or 2 free tables, being a party of 2 helped. Got seated right away. They make a Golden Tumeric Latte which looked interesting, so I tried it and wow. Yum. My wife had a cappuccino with chocolate on top, something a bit too sweet for me but she loved it. I ordered the smashed avocado on toast, a dish we don't remember seeing in London much last year but that we've noticed has been added to just about every breakfast menu we've seen here this year after being ubiquitous back home in the SF Bay Area for years. Half Cup's take was masterful with heirloom tomatoes and on a charcoal sourdough toast slice (£9). I added a poached egg (£1.5) and smoked salmon (£3) but really the toast would have been enough. The egg was poached perfectly; nice and runny like I like it. My wife had the Breakfast Brioche Bun (£9) (I got a few bites of it and it was cheesy good!). Service was top notch. The meal didn't break the bank. We'll be back! read more
