Pumpkin Cafe is a cute little shop near the top of Fortune Green Road in West Hampstead. I've…read morenoticed it for ages every time I go get my hair done, but never stopped by. This time round I was about 20 minutes early so decided to get a coffee. The interior of the cafe is, well, very cafe like. A scattering of tables and chairs, a guy drinking his drink and a small area where you go to order your stuff. It's nothing fancy but it's sweet and lovely. I chose to sit outside with my latte (which was okay) as the weather was quite amazing for December. I will have to update my review one day when I go back and try the food. It seemed like the sort of place the locals would go to grab a quick bite or a weekend breakfast.

Gail's was so good!!! We loved the baked eggs with sourdough toast and the avocado toast was one of…read morethe most flavorful ice ever had. The blueberry muffin was also very delicious, the perfect amount of blueberries and muffin top. I liked that it was bright and spacious inside with lots of seating. It was very kid friendly!

I stopped in very busy Gail's for a quick bite before taking a tour of the Thames river. The place…read moredisplayed their freshly made food choices quite nicely and the baked goods looked amazing! I settled on the Crustless tomato and corgette slice. It was delicious, I love the olives and zucchini, and it was a very generous portion. My only complaint is that it was cold. I expected them to heat it up. I would definitely return it! This place is card only.

I have tried both the brunch and dinner here and it's been a great experience each time…read more This time for dinner we ordered hummus as a starter, chicken musakhan, and kofta. For 3 people, it was plenty of food and it was priced fairly for sharing. The musakhan was definitely the highlight, the chicken is so tender it falls off the bone! Their back garden/conservatory seating is a nice set up. I would definitely love to come back here.

This place is pretty conveniently located to Paddington train station. Just a few doors in from the…read morecorner and across the street from One entrance to the station and on the next block up and on the opposite side from the Hilton Paddington hotel. The interior is very clean and has a cool vibe-greenery from the hanging plants and lots of natural light. We got the makluba and the shishbarak and cleaned our plates. Everything from the eggplant to the lamb to the dumplings to the sauce was really perfect. The mango smoothie was also quite tasty. A little gruff on the service from the person who delivered our plates and while the "terrace" area was offered, unlike the guests that came in shortly after we declined that location, who were walked back and seated, we were simply handed our menus with a gesture towards the area. Still, the tasty food and convenient location were tops.

After trying the Regency, I came here for part two, hoping to complete the trifecta of infamous…read morebreakfast places in London. "The Works" (the full English) seemed slightly too much for me, so I opted for one rung down the ladder and got "The Blowout" which was perfectly sized for me that day. Two free range eggs, bacon, Cumberland sausage, bubble & squeak, grilled tomatoes... though you do get a choice with the sides. The staff smiles and is incredibly friendly. Be sure to enter the door on the left side, as the right is coffee and pastries take-away only (I think). The food and drink may take a while to get to you, but with good reason. Everything is so tasty! The couple next to me were tourists, also having seen Terry's on the YouTube, but there were plenty of locals there as well. Once again, maybe I got lucky, but I was seated pretty much right away. A bit of a journey to get to, maybe, depending on where you are staying or going, but well worthwhile.

Super friendly wait staff, service was impeccable. If you come earlier in the day (around 9am),…read morethere isn't much wait time, as we were able to be seated relatively quickly. But we did see a line quickly forming soon after. The food did take quite a bit to come out, but it was pretty good! The portions are pretty big and everything tastes fresh. Only "complaint" is that I've had better black pudding elsewhere, but still a very satisfying meal!

Met a co-worker here on Friday and loved it!…read more Efficient service, cute atmosphere and busy but not crowded on a Friday morning. We went to the South Bank location. I had two oat milk dirty chai mochas, they were that good. Both of us ordered the Gatherer breakfast that came with sourdough or GF toast, 2 eggs your way, grilled halloumi, sautéed spinach, roasted tomatoes, portabello mushroom and Black Penny beans. I honestly can't think of a more perfect breakfast. Can't wait to go back!

We were on the hunt for somewhere warm and cozy to hang until the rain had cleared up. The Black…read morePenny caught our eye, and I'm so glad it did! I really admired the decor and how the place was designed. Our server (which my assumption gave that he might have been the manager) was warm and welcoming. We started with some hot chocolates to warm us up from the cold rain. The latte art was so cute we had to take a pic! I ordered mines with oat milk and my cousins ordered theirs with regular whole milk. We realized we needed just a little more than just something to drink, so we ordered the cured meat and cheese board. It was goooood! Ofcourse you can't go wrong with charcuterie, but what we loved the most is that the bread was extra warm. We ended up ordering more of the bread cuz it being warmed was the perfect touch! The size of the Black Penny was pretty spacious. I'd say you can come with groups ranging from 3-5 or maybe more if they allow you to put some tables together. It has a very laid back vibe to it. I'd say it caters to a get together with friends or family, a casual date, or somewhere to post up with your laptop. I also noticed they had an upstairs area and a cool looking bar, I'll be sure to check that out next time I'm in town.

Food was wonderful as were the lattes! Great place to stop and relax. Very nice staff!read more

Jim F wanted eggs for breakfast, not another dim sum. My Place for breakfast? Sure!…read more My Place is not very large, and reminds me of an old Soho pub or eatery, but updated with cool furnishings and local art. Seating is tight and cocktail table tops for 2 are used for 3. We didn't mind as it added to the fun, but it took some maneuvering to fit our 3 plates, coffees and condiments. The food is freshly made from scratch. Jim F liked his breakfast burger because it came with everything he was craving: Beef patty, fried egg, bacon and American cheese! Rick L enjoyed his Spinach & Avocado Omelette which came with a huge half avocado. My Eggs Benedict was very good too. It was tasty and perfectly poached. Luckily I was provided a sharp knife to cut the organic brown sourdough, or else it would've flown off the plate. Surprisingly my Latte came lukewarm. I guess I should've said something but it was pretty busy with a line of people waiting for seats. Service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be returning to My Place.
