    Tucked inside Neal's Yard, a hidden triangular courtyard off trendy Neal Street in Covent Garden, Jacob the Angel is "a hidden gem," to quote one pleased customer. We came here after 26 Grains next door proved to be too slow. It was our gain, as there was no wait at the counter and the food was delivered promptly. My guest described the avocado toast as among the best she's ever had -- although it could have been a touch warmer. Cappuccino was also excellent. All considered, I would no longer consider Jacob the Angel a consolation prize but rather a destination of itself.

    Cute hidden coffee shop in Neal's yard. I actually originally found this place on Instagram but ended up randomly bumping into it while exploring. I got lucky and got a seat right by the open windows into Neal's Yard. I ordered a large latte, Jerusalem bagel, and this cute little coconut tart. The Jerusalem bagel: - it came with labneh (which is basically middle eastern cream cheese) and cucumber salad. Both were refreshing and delicious, especially on the hot summer day I was there. Coconut tart: - I'm not entirely sure what the name of the tart is but it was just so cute, I had to try one! You wouldn't know it was coconut on the outside because all you see is a big kiss of toasted meringue, but the sweet coconut filling was a really nice surprise. The tart crust was a bit on the hard side but let's be honest, I didn't get the treat to eat the tart base. If you're looking for a nice place to grab some coffee and a little nosh then I'd definitely recommend this spot!

    Service here was so great! WiFi actually works and the courtyard is charming. My cappuccino was delicious and they have pastries and food for all foodies (GF, vegan etc). I enjoyed the international crowd that was hanging out here.

    Great Kale Salad - Fresh ingredients, perfect light dressing.

    Nice, clean bright place in Neal's Yard at/near Covent Garden. We had takeaway coffee today. A Latte and a Flat White. Each drink had a coffee cup customized to the drink. My cup had Flat White printed on it while the Latte cup had Latte printed. The Coffees were perfectly prepared - great cups of Coffee. My daughter had the Hot Chocolate the previous day, she described that the Hot Chocolate tasted like drinking Chocolate from a high end Chocolate purveyor - she loved it. We saw very appetizing pastries for sale- no room today in our tummies - we'll be scouting them out in the future. We returned for lunch. A wonderful experience likewise. The Smoked Trout Sandwich was great. We also loved the Kale Salad and the Mushroom Tart. The Coffee was well made again! We're glad we made it back to Jacob the Angel for lunch. As an added bonus, there is a Bambi street art featuring Princess Diana as Mary Poppins with Princes Charlotte and Prince George at one of the entrances to Neal's Yard.

    Had the oat latte and coconut cardamom blackberry financier (so good and quite filling)! Overlooks Neal's yard and has many accessible plugs to charge up! Good experience

    The best almond croissant in the world. Rivals Paris!

    Ok the coffee shop next door had a line and limited seating and so ended up here. Not sure why the reviews aren't as good when I think Jacob the Angel is darling and amazing! The avocado toast is 5-star amazing and the almond croissant is one of the best croissants I've had in the whole wide world. Had to get another one the next morning before catching my plane back to the US. Jacob the Angel should get better credit. It's a wonderful little place for excellent coffee and small tasty breakfasts.

    The food was good and the coffee looks strong but unfortunately I could not drink the oat milk they used have gone bad (either that or the espresso is sour) And the staff (1 person) was way too snooty for me when I insisted on one brand of oat milk over another even thought they served both. When I brought it to the counter they proceeded to tell me it was normal for it to curd. All I drink is oat milk and it does not normally do that. Eventually I exchanged it for tea and they obliged but it was just way too much effort for a simple coffee stop.
