Visited this Cafe during the latest pandemic wave a week before Christmas. Even though many cafes…read morein the town were packed, the proprietors decided on a Take away only service, which we thought was prudent, appropriate and socially responsible in light of prevailing conditions. This Take away service was not at the expense of the planet as they readily accepted our reusable cups for our Take away order. The icing on the cake was that the variety of coffee had a lovely nutty tinge. All I can say is exemplary.

This being 5 mins walk from my daughters, we have been 3 times for dinner this year. The food has…read morealways been excellent with an interesting and varied menu. Service is also good, if I had a criticism last night it was just a bit TOO quick - a bit more space between courses would have been welcome. Some may feel it a bit expensive - our bill for three three course meals with a bottle of wine and coffee was £110 ( no pre drinks) but I still feel it's worth it. Edit, Saturday 12th March 2011. The three of us visited again, and again the food was of the highest quality. The head chef had just returned from working as a sous chef with a 2 star Michelin Chef, so a couple of dishes he had brought with him from there. One of these was my chosen starters, a 'timbale' containing lobster, crab, avocado, mushrooms etc, and was one of the best starters I have had in a while, but expensive at £11 ! In my earlier review I said the service was a bit quick, but this time we were served at a leisurely pace. Oddly we found they don't take bookings at 7.30, you have to have 7 or 8. The bill was bigger than last time, so it getting a bit on the expensive side now - with gratuities £140. But I still would recommend it, and its under 5 mins walk from my daughters -she and I had birthdays the following day

Nicely decorated. 9:30am on a Monday and it seems like there are some business meetups going on, plus over customers. I got the avocado toast which was pretty good & what I'd recommend. I think someone else mentioned it was spicy... I didn't think it was spicy. I was disappointed by the chocolate croissant though, which is why the three stars. The filling didn't taste chocolate & the croissant part wasn't really flaky. So, I'd recommend coming here but not getting the chocolate croissant

I stopped by here a few times in July 2017; twice for breakfast around 7:30 AM and once for a…read moremeeting with a colleague around 11 AM. All of my visits were on weekdays. The café is cute, with a nice atmosphere, colorful décor, and plenty of seating. The first time I came, I got the granola yogurt breakfast with fruit compote. It was a very generous portion and made a very filling breakfast. I also got the gunpowder tea, and it was neat that they served it for you in this high tech container that they set over the teapot to dispense the tea; you could see that it was loose leaf and not a teabag. The breakfast and tea came out to be around £8, steep for breakfast but reasonable given the yogurt was so huge I could barely finish it. The second time, I got the avocado toast and a flowering tea (can't remember which one, but the menu shows pictures of the flowers). The avocado spread has a bit of a kick to it, which wasn't really to my taste but that's more of a personal aversion to spicy food. The flowering tea was neat; it took a good 30 seconds for mine to fully blossom and it was fun to watch while eating. I would note that they serve it in a long-stemmed glass which is rather hot to the touch, so I wouldn't order a flowering tea unless you have time to let it cool down before trying to pick it up. My last time, I came for a mid-morning snack and work meeting. My colleague was trying to avoid dairy; we were told there was a dairy-free lemon cake, but the waiter had to double back to let us know they didn't have any left. There was also an extensive smoothies menu, but when the waiter went to check availability, there was only 1 cup of the vitamin boost smoothie left, so we gave it a miss. There weren't any other dairy-free items but they were willing to serve my colleague avocado toast even though breakfast was over, which was kind. I got a cappucino cake and the gunpowder tea again; the cake was moist and tasty. When we left about 30 minutes later, they were starting to bring out cupcakes and salads, and the smoothies looked to have just been restocked, so probably we just arrived at a bad time. There is free wifi that is very easy to connect to. The staff are generally friendly and polite. The café is conveniently located near the Blackfriars tube station. This is definitely a great place to get some work done, or have a chat with someone.

We did find it in the end, but miss our booking slot. Lucky its new, so plenty of seats. Its the Breakfast Club menu, so really good food, and great cocktails, and because its opening weekend, 50% off everything. The venue is quite cool and really well situated, no car traffic, has grass areas, facing the canals, people watching, and walking distance to this developing area. local residents have it good here, but I believe once the word gets out, its going to be rammed pretty soon.

Maybe it's British chickens. Unfortunately, the food left a lot to be desired. Of course the UK doesn't know how to do an American Breakfast, but this place tried. If you just want eggs, mushroom and baked beans that anyone on the planet can make, you can get that anywhere and I'm sure it's decent. I opted for pancakes and scrambled eggs because almost everything else that sounded interesting was deep fried. I always forget that the British scrambled eggs are really undercooked, but that's my fault for not ordering them well done. The pancakes were tough and flavorless. My sister ordered the breakfast burrito and was completely underwhelmed. It's not terrible but don't order the pancakes or burrito if you have been to the US because it just won't compare.

The only thing that I don't like about this place is the man who was working at the front counter. I was the only customer and he seemed out of his depth. He struggled doing the math for my change and the interaction took way longer than is reasonable. I'd definitely go back to try something else here.

The barista and coffee shop staff were so patient and nice - especially when I inquired about ingredients in the pastries and asked to have my Spinach Ricotta Roll heated. Overall it was a great experience - good food, good coffee, and exceptional service. Food-wise: we got a spinach ricotta roll and a custard croissant - and loved both. The spinach ricotta roll was a perfect combination of your comfort hot breakfast with egg + spinach + cheese, plus the flaky buttery outer-layer of a croissant. There was also a bit of spicy kick to it - which I loved! Remember to ask for it to be heated. The custard-filled croissant was also heavenly creamy, with the buttery outer-layer of a croissant, this can be enjoyed at room temperature. Drink-wise: we got a Americano and a flatwhite, which were both really good and hot - definitely woke us up for the early morning / jetlag, which helped prep us for day! They also had some nice tables inside the coffee shop to sit and enjoy your food - so it's also a great place to bring your laptops to. Overall - nothing helps more to start a great morning like a great breakfast, and I think this place had the magic that turned our cloudy morning into a great sunny day - would definitely revisit when I'm back in the UK!
