Loved this place!! Great brunch spot if in the London area, the food was great. Service was also excellent, received food very quickly. Vibes inside were very cute.

Came here after seeing it on social media! Had to say, it met our expectations! Food- i had the Turkish eggs and absolutely loved it Drink- i had the rose matcha latte , delicious! Not overly sweet Ambiance- really esthetically pleasing, had decor for Halloween, and had outdoor and indoor seating! Service- great service, they also put bells or server callers on table which make it very convenient Overall 5/5 would definitely come back

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Originally fear enveloped me upon first thought of leaving my precious flat in N1 for the scary world of SW1. Will they like me? What will I wear? And most importantly, where will I get my daily grind? And then I met tomtom. It was a chance meeting in fact -- and turned out to be where I was when I called my new landlord to make an offer. I'd like to say the coffee had no influence in that decision, but that would be a lie. After chatting with the barrista a bit about the 'hood, he informed me that not only is the espresso blend unique to the shop, but that the ethical range of beans are roasted weekly in one of the owner's nearby roasting rooms. Gold star. Doing a bit more, erm, research, I soon learned that the freshly baked range of cakes, buns, cookies, and other deliciousness are all made right there in the shop at various times during the day. (A schedule which I'm sure I will have memorised in no time at all.) Plus they serve a range of adult beveys as well. High five! Tomtom makes me truly look forward to moving to the neighbourhood. And it made coughing up way too much money go down oh so smooth... anything to be living next door to this place, right?

Hot Chocolate

Tomtom is a nice cafe for a hearty brunch and tea, or coffee or hot chocolate (mmm hot chocolate) - whatever your preference! I came here on two occasions while in London because it was a much better choice over Starbucks down the block :) The hot chocolate is simply divine and they do the fancy schmancy designs for your cup as well. My favorite dish was the eggs benedict on toast. Plus one for the huge serving as well. If you come as a regular, they have a little card where you get a stamp for every drink you've ordered and at the tenth order, you get a free cup o' joe! Although there is limited seating, they have an outdoor and indoor area. On a typical cold London day (that's everyday right?) the indoor seating will do you some good. There is one large table that will fit a party of 5 but with much smaller tables for a party of two or one all 'round. On the menu, there is a wine and some beer selection as well so this is not your usual American coffee shop!

Cappuccino

TomTom Coffee House was such a cute place to stop for in the morning! The cappuccino was so delicious, as well as beautifully presented! The cinnamon scone was fresh and moist.

Amazing latte art..............
Irene R.

The place is really small. Maybe I expected it too much. Also the food was plain. Nothing special. Coffee was okay. And what else? Oh they didn't make a good latte art unlike some pictures.

Flat white. Not great.

When you call yourself a coffee house, decent coffee to be the minimum, and I don't need much more. What I got was... nowhere near that. I rarely venture to this part of town when I'm in London, but I had to stop by the Norwegian embassy for Reasons, and my favourite haunts all opened much later than I arrived and were half an hour's walk away. So, I Yelped it up to try to find somewhere. Looking at Tomtom, I figured "Coffee House", good... Eggs Benedict looks really nice from the photos too! I wasn't planning on having breakfast there, but maybe I will! Eggs Benedict was NOT in the cards, however, as the price tag on that was £9, which is more than I expect to pay for coffee, a large bowl of soup AND sweets. Maybe I'm spoiled in Edinburgh, but I'm pretty sure Monmouth and the rest in Soho are nowhere near this expensive. I guess when the whole area is pretty barren but full of embassies and the like, and you open fairly early, you can get away with it? The Flat White was £3.20, which is a good 50p too expensive for even a decent one, but with everywhere else a while away and myself tired and hungry for coffee after the bus ride down, I figured I'd go for it. The staff just looked incredibly bored and annoyed, which can't have been helped by the fact that it's almost impossible not to be in their way when you're waiting for service at the bar. I don't mind unfriendly staff if the coffee's good, though... So, the coffee... Uhm. Right. The microfoam was stained dark brown with the crema of the coffee, and it tasted like rust. The coffee itself was grossly overheated (though I can tolerate a somewhat overwarm Flat White as I know how frustrating it is for a coffee shop to keep having people returning the drinks for being "too cold" despite being the exact right temperature for the type of drink) slightly watery and bitter like a soap opera star who's been written out of their show without even a satisfying death scene. In fairness, as I got further down it (it was possible to finish, and I was paying £3.20 for it, after all...) there were hints at some actual, quality coffee beans underlying the experience. It's possible I had a bad coffee, or that the particular barista who served me was the weak link here, but the result was the same. Your mileage may wary, as this is not a case like Starbucks or Costa, where the beans are completely over-roasted to begin with. So, unsatisfied and having resolved to walk over to Notes, I went to pay my £3.20. Except I didn't pay £3.20. They automatically add a 10% service charge. At a café. I suppose it makes sense considering the quality of the service. I certainly wouldn't have left behind a penny extra if I was given the choice. In the end, I paid £3.52 for the privilege, and that's all the money Tomtom "Coffee House" will ever see out of me.

Half way through my cup of latte and I find a swan

Best latte I've had in all of London. Comparable to Monmouth in quality, and nicer ambiance when weather permits outdoor seating.

Delicious coffee to start your day with! I like also their cheese and tomato sandwich. Prices are typical for Belgravia but worth of it.

They squeezed us in between two tables! There is a huge amount of cakes and large scones with jam and cream as well as yummy sandwiches. There is a large selection of teas. The "set"tea had more of a homemade rather than elegant or theme based teas but my granddaughters were very happy to choose what they wanted to eat! The tables are pretty close together so go early if you prefer it to be less busy!

I loved the decor and atmosphere. Food: My friend and I both ordered the traditional English breakfast. I had mine with vegan sausage. The breakfast was exactly what I expected and was pretty good. I was excited they had a vegan sausage option instead of leaving the sausage off like other places. Service: Our service was quick and friendly. We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all. TL;DR - Lovely place for an English breakfast

It was an enjoyable experience for Afternoon Tea. It was VERY reasonably priced compared to what I…read moresaw while looking for a place. The decor was absolutely beautiful, the staff were great and very accommodating. We were arriving late based on commute issues so I rebooted for a later time so we weren't late for our seating. We arrived about 15 minutes after our original time and 45 minutes before our new time and they let us sit right away. Most of the food was good. For me, the one issue was that I don't typically eat white bread so the first few sandwiches felt dry. The ironic part was that I don't typically like shrimp but I tried the prawn cocktail and it was one of my savory favorites along with the heritage beef. Most of the sweets were good, you just have to get past texture expectations depending on what you're used to. For example, the cheesecake had a gelatin-like texture, and we are used to cheesecake being more on the creamy side. The flavor however, was good. The star of the show, the tea. We both only tried 2 teas. Between the tower and the tea, you get full quickly. I ordered the lemongrass and ginger then the Taiwanese Four Season. My favorite was the lemongrass and ginger. I also purchased one to take home. Overall great experience and I highly recommend.

I love a great English tea and St. Ermin's delivers above and beyond. Wonderfully blended…read moretraditional teas, decadently rich sandwiches and dessert bites, and the perfect scones. This is the place to get a well needed shot of refinement. Everything was delicious!!
