KuPP is a spacious Swedish coffeehouse & restaurant, situated in the new paddington canal area. I've come in several times to do work and really enjoyed how relaxed the atmosphere is. You can go, sit down at a table, and stay for several hours with minimal distractions. The coffee is good, and served in these attractive air layer cups which keep the outside cool. Food overall is tasty although it is on the expensive side. I've been twice so far and will certainly be back! read more

The chicken open sandwich I had was horrible. Tasted bad. Upgraded to fries for a pound and wasn't worth it. Only good thing is being able to sit outside on a nice day. Service was good and helps with the review but the food really wasn't good. Ok ok... Later in the day I came for drinks and the inside of the place is amazing. Very well decorated and very roomy. There was only one bartender though, so drinks were slow. Upgraded to three stars because of how nice it is inside. ;) read more

KuPP feels a look into the future as the area around Paddington Basin in undergoing redevelopment. There used to be nothing of interest here and it still feels like a novelty to find riverside cafes and bars. I was meeting a friend for a midweek coffee and the weather was just good enough to grab one of the outdoor tables overlooking the canal (and the extremely ugly back view of St Mary's Hospital). Everything is still new around here which adds a bit of a sterile feel to the experience. KuPP is absolutely massive and probably quite busy at lunchtime with so many new headquarters popping up around the area. Everything is stylish and I loved the double-walled perspex cup my cappuccino was served in. Great for convenience (very short walk from Paddington station), not quite yet a destination cafe. read more

Excellent facilities and fantastic to see the kitchen on show. Food wise it's a Scandinavian vibe with lots of open sandwiches. There is a large bar area away from the restaurant so if you fancy just drinks or cocktails you have space. The food was delicious and served on boards. Sandwiches came with an amazing potato salad with dill and hot courses included skinny fries. I would recommend especially on a summers day say by the canal. read more

Kupp is a very colourful modern airy restaurant with beautiful views of the canal at the Paddington Basin. High ceiling and large floor to ceiling windows makes it the perfect place to wind down during the day whilst enjoying the sun shining through or at night and seeing the light reflect of the water. Seating is plentiful and well spaced out with plug sockets available to laptop users. Their menu has a big focus on Scandinavian cuisine and every Sunday they offer an excellent bottomless brunch menu for £30 each which includes unlimited boards of Scandinavian food ranging from fish, pork to a roast beef board, paired with traditional breads, salads and Lekland Knacker crispbread. Their bottomless brunch is limited to 90 mins per seating and includes unlimited refills of their two cocktails and beer. Their Bloody Mary was pretty strong, slightly too heavy on the bitter notes for me but with some extra salt and sugar in there and after the ice melted, it was pretty decent. Their Scandi Collins was much preferred. The bitterness worked well with the lemon, almost like a grapefruit. Very refreshing and one we refilled on a couple of times. The Fiske Board Probably my favourite board of the brunch (we ordered two). The salmon gravadlax was amazing, perfectly cured, fleshy and slithering smooth. Smoked trout was slightly dry but I enjoyed it;s flakiness, sweet flavours and well seasoned marinate. Atlantic prawns were deliciously fresh and plump in a nice mayonnaise dressing. It was all accompanied with a delicious pickled pepper and carrot slaw, fluffy potato salad, plenty of other salad leaves, crispy rye bread and Lekland Knacker crispbread. The Kupp board The house smoked meatball were quite standard, lacking depth. But they were meaty and kept moist by the mustard coating. Potted rabbit however was too dry and didn't do much for flavour. Chorizo sausage roll was also lacking moisture too, quite dense and flavours quite subdued, even the bits of chorizo itself. The ham however were sweet, tender and succulent and paired well with the rich Västerbotten cheese which was similar to mature cheddar. Accompanied with nice fresh fluffy white bread which was much welcomed to mop everything up with. The smokin' roast bord The fore rib of beef may not have been the most tender cut, in fact it was quite tough being quite fibrous. However with a bit of gnawing I very much enjoyed the sweetness of the medium rare cuts, incredibly juicy and rich in flavour. Paired with it were delicious honey smoked beetroot, creamy buttered smoked onions and roasted potatoes. The lingonberry jam didn't do much for me, very oily but the red wine gravy was out of this world, rich, complex and salty. On another board which accompanied it were lovely leafy cabbage, sweet rusted butternut squash and leeks, although the leeks themselves were quite old making it very tough to chew through. Still I enjoyed them after discarding the first layer. In the space of 90 mins we managed to demolish 5 boards between us which is pretty good. I felt I ate and drank my money worth. The staff were even kind enough to remind us to make our last order before our time was up but sadly by then we were too full to fit anymore. For a bottomless brunch I definitely feel less guilty as the food was much healthier compared to other brunches out there with all the unprocessed meats, grains, vegetables and salads. Nice to have a good variety too. None of the food was mind blowing but combined with the atmosphere, friendliness, lovely views outside and it being laptop friendly, I can see myself returning again quite soon. read more

This really is a perfect place for working, lots of people sitting behind their notebooks while enjoying the fresh juices that are on offer. What I probably like most about this restaurant is that they have a full open kitchen, you can see everything that is going on. I strongly recommend for you to try the pear juice, my goodness what a fresh revelation that is, also the smoked trout with avocado on toast (carbs, the devil - lo se) is totally worth it! I will definitely be back to try one of the planks with someone one of these days as they looked absolutely stunning! read more

Bottom line: cool space with a unique scan advise feel and taste. Very spacious modern restaurant with a cool and trendy design and feel. Nice seating outside along the canal. We enjoyed an excellent Scandinavian style breakfast. We ordered the poached eggs with danish bacon which had an excellent jam inside of it. Also ordered the breakfast board which had a selection of tasty delights. Excellent waitress named Pilar who was very sweet. Definitely will come back. read more

The place is usually empty and you can see why when you are met by rude service and an overpriced menu.

Nice restaurant in the paddington basin. They have a take away side as well as a proper restaurant side. Their tea options are pretty standard. The style of food is Scandinavian/healthy. So lots of smoked salmon, open faced sandwiches, and brunchy food. They also have a dinner menu with roasts, etc. The food is slightly on the pricey side, but there aren't that many of this kind of cafe in the area. Good lunch option. read more

Kupp combines bar, cafe, and restaurant really well, with the bar / cafe having their own area so you can enjoy your lunch without shouting over bar noise. The setting beside the canal in the newly redeveloped merchant square complements the modern and trendy interior decor. This is a superb and really good value spot to stop for lunch, coffee, or an after work drink. read more

I've lived in London for years and years, and can't remember such a brazen rip-off place. I paid £3.10 for a soya latte, literally barely bigger than an espresso. Part of that was a surcharge for soya milk, which wasn't advertised (it really irritates me that I get penalised for soya milk); still outrageous though. I asked for it to be extra hot - it wasn't. There was also a giant queue and only a couple of staff serving coffees. Unfortunately I couldn't leave, so then had a rip-off lunch. I ordered a main course salad, which was just shy of £10. I asked for one of the ingredients to be subbed, but this was too much trouble (the excuse was the salads are already pre-made (hilarious), but magically it was possible just to leave the offending ingredient off (without it being subbed) because now it was sprinkled on afterwards) - so the most expensive ingredient was left off without any replacement or reduction in price. What arrived was the size of a side salad, absolutely swimming in oil - it was rank. Then there's the teas - these are grandly advertised on the menu as being served in a teapot; not sure why, since there is only a single cup's worth in the teapot. Even the coke - sorry Pepsi (they don't sell Coke; who doesn't sell Coke?) - was a rip-off, sold in tiny glasses filled mainly with ice. There are also hardly any choices for sweet. As for the service, we had to call someone over for everything - it was really tedious. There was one lovely, smiley chap; otherwise - some pretty stony-faced staff. The space (ie the restaurant itself) and location are pleasant. Oh and there are a lot of people hanging around in there, using it as office space. read more
