So good! It's a busy and tiny restaurant. But they serve food fast. My porridge is savory his is sweet. A great start for our trip on day 1. read more

Loved my banana oatmeal bowl. My only regret is that I didn't find this amazing spit sooner!

mainly oat porridges and change with season. Just ...latte with almond milk might really not b an ideal choice. Healthy brunch! read more

I am very disappointed. First the staffs there are not nice at all. Feel so fake. Don't know I'm Asian or not. I ordered Avocado breakfast dish which is super simple one shouldn't be bad. But it wasn't taste good as the Avocado was very hard I couldn't eat. I'll never visit. read more

Delicious soup here today. It can be tricky to get a seat, and being propped up at the bar can make you feel in the way a bit, however the food is so good. Feels like only great quality ingredients go into the heart warming and satisfying meal. Have to come back for breakfast. read more

I've been stalking 26 Grains on Instagram forever, long before I'd even cemented my plans to move to London. So on my first day out, it was top on my list of spots to try out on the London breakfast scene. After getting ever so slightly lost (I'm new) I found it in a wonderfully remote triangle courtyard-style area in the middle of Neal's Yard in the Seven Dials area. It's tiny with just one large table outside and a few small ones inside. Note that the seats are quite small timber square stools - not the most comfortable seats but not awful. The menu, written on chalkboards both inside and outside, display a range of seasonally changing porridges plus a few cold dishes (this may change in other seasons I'm guessing) like Bircher and a smoothie bowl plus some delicious sounding savoury options. A good range of hot and cold drinks available too, including some trendier sounding options like turmeric hot chocolate and the now common matcha latte. I ordered the Rhubarb & Cardamom porridge with buckwheat and oats on almond milk with stewed rhubarb, tahini Greek yoghurt, cardamom granola, coconut flakes and amaranth (6) plus an Americano and milk on the side (2.5). Ordering and payment is done at the counter simultaneously. Considering their porridge is made fresh (you can see them stirring over the stovetop) it didn't take long to arrive and the coffee came quickly too. Coffee (Workshop Coffee roast) was excellent and exceed my snobby Australian expectations. The porridge was creamy but not heavy and relatively unsweetened with the rhubarb and yoghurt adding tartness balanced by the sweeter granola and coconut. It was basically a porridge version of my ideal Bircher muesli with contrasting flavours and textures - granola on porridge is genius. It was a delicious and substantial breakfast and I will be back to try more of the menu! Very cute spot and with Neal's Yard Wi-Fi available, it was the perfect spot to chill out and enjoy the morning although the minimal amount of seating meant that I felt I shouldn't linger too long. read more

This place is hidden in Covent garden, a charming spot fitted for the spectacular food. The atmosphere is lovely- you can sit inside the small shop, or enjoy the breeze outside. I had the almond flakes with melted butter porridge and a matcha latte. Both bring a hyggeligt experience of warm bowls of farm to table dishes and drinks. Will return again when I come to London! read more

Guttered that I couldn't have the Nordic pear porridge (which I understand is only available for breakfast) so I had to settle for the apple hazelnut which still very much satisfied the oat cravings. Just what I needed after leisurely afternoon walking through Covent Gardens. Would totally come here again for a pit stop. read more

This is a tiny breakfast cafe serving all-day ostmeals and toasts. It's pretty much as organic and vegan as you can get. That said, the oatmeal bowls weren't nearly as flavorful or exciting as they sounded. Maybe it's my American palate, but I had to add a lot of honey to the dish to make it taste right :/ Also, this place was lacking in friendliness and I could sense a lot of attitude... I mean, I am putting down $7+ for oatmeals and toasts that I could easily get at Pret or EAT faster and more cheaply. I chose to come here and support this business- at least treat me nicely? read more

After the goop raves I had to check out 26 Grains. Located in the "off the beaten path" Neals Yard, this place is a real gem. I went on a weekday so we luckily walk right in to find a spot which was lucky because I would venture to say the indoor seating space could at most accommodate 15 people. This places effortless hits the nail on the head for balancing fresh and healthy with artisan goodness. All of our dishes were wholesome and hearty while being beautifully presented as their own little works of art. I personally had the matcha latte and waffles. I added the tahini Greek yogurt and almond butter to the waffles. The matcha was not overly sweet. And the waffles were spot on. For a further breakdown see below: Location-5 Seating- 3, my only issue was that I found the seats small, hard and a tad bit uncomfortable (perhaps they don't want to encourage people hanging along too long due to the shortage of space) Staff- 5, friendly but not overbearing. Also good at recommending things if necessary Food- 5, simple goodness that doesn't try to overachieve Overall it's getting a 5 stars from me. read more

This a a great little cafe with a hipster vibe. The food (who knew pourage could be so good) as well as other items, tea and coffee are great. read more

Hi my healthy friends! I wrote this on my food blog as well, but this place is super nutritious and is in such a beautiful area. Personally, I love really tasty, unhealthy food so this was definitely something new for me. However, I truly feel like those who are super into health and fitness would really like this place! They're really known for their porridge (oatmeal) so that's what my friend and I tried! The first is the Banana Tahini Porridge which comes with almond milk oats, banana, tahini, honey, milk, sesame, and cacao (it normally comes with dairy milk but we used the almond alternative!). The second is a cold bowl called the Berry Bircher, which comes with almond milk soaked chia seeds & oats, banana, buckwheat, granola, and berry smoothie! It was more room-temperature which wasn't as satisfying . I'm not a huge fan of healthy food but this was pretty decent for my liking! I really do wish there was more flavor though! read more

It is a lovely space and I love the vibe so much but avocado toast I have here is horrible!! It's just a not completed flavor! Too much of things you don't need on avocado like herb seeds that killed the whole thing!! I give star out for the atmosphere but I'm giving none to the dish I had. read more

This place is amazing! I had the nordic pear porridge and it was tasty as hell. I also had a Chai Latte from Almond milk and it tasted good. The whole place has a nice atmosphere in a small yard read more

My best friend who was visiting from the states IS OBSESSED with porridge so we found this place. Best. Porridge. Ever. I mean the place is TINY so going in the wintertime and trying to not site outside is kind of a pain in the a**, but it was the best porridge I've ever had in my life. I wasn't even a fan of porridge, but this place was awesome. read more

I'm not obsessed with porridges but I decided to try 26 Grains after seeing really cool pictures on Instagram. I had the Hazelnut & Butter porridge and guess what? It was simply delicious! The place is really small and cosy, located in one of my favourite areas of London: Neal's Yard. Trust me, you're gonna love it! read more

Loved 26 grains! First it is located in Seven Dials but is kind of hidden in a courtyard with one of the entrances next to Benefit. The food is very unique and delicious. My daughter had the avocado toast and fortunately they serve with almond dukkah as that is the only nut she can eat. I had the pear and it was different from anything I've had. I thought it would be like oatmeal but it was not quite. Sitting in the beautiful courtyard eating this delicious breakfast satisfies our hunger before talking Westminster Abbey! They are next to a holistic office which I would have loved to have checked out. Next time cuz we will be back! read more

Excellent, healthy, delicious porridge. Loved the turmeric latte. Friendly staff and good music. Perfect Sunday morning.

Nice little place tucked in an alley way. Went there for breakfast twice. There specialty is porridge and it was done very well on our first visit. When I went the second time it wasn't as good as the first time. The first time it was served in nice bowl very well garnished with toppings. The second time it was served in takeaway containers and not garnished and topped so well. Both times flavor was good but inconsistent in presentation. I would have given 26 Grains 4 stars consistency is key. read more

I really love this place, it's very sweet and the girls are lovely. Porridge is my favourite and they do such a great variety. I've been many times and I just love it! My only 2 little complaints are the lack of seating or the lack of a queueing system. Especially on a Saturday morning at peak time they should take your name when a table becomes available. And also, the lattes although they are delicious they are often not hot enough so it's best to ask for your drink extra hot in my opinion! read more

marvellous toasts. we had the avocado one and the blackberry & cream cheese one and i was so surprised of how good that combo was. the only thing i didn't like was the coffee. i had an iced latte with almond milk and the almond milk probably just wasn't made to mix with coffee cause you could still see small pieces of it floating and the taste wasn't good :/ anyway would recommend for anything else :) read more

This is a great breakfast brunch place; the porridge is really great and the feeling of the place is very cosy, despite being in central London. However they don't issue paper receipts and that's a bit of a pain, there also isn't much seating. Worth a visit! read more

Fabulous coffee and light fare in quaint Covent Garden courtyard. Loved the porridge + halloumi sandwich!

We got the Chicken Snørrebrød, and oh my, I want this place to open a shop in my kitchen. Everything looks delicious, and the plating is so aesthetic for a cafe. I took a look through their cookbook, and I want it all. read more

Inexpensive, day's special made special and served until they run out, good music, nice staff, everything feels extremely healthy. Small lunchenette space so you might not find a seat, worth a special trip. read more

Ridiculously tasty! Four of us Americans came for a tasty bite, one with a finicky diet, and we all left with full, happy bellies! I'll have to admit, I've never tried porridge, not knowing the difference between porridge and oatmeal, but I'm definitely going to try and make myself a savory porridge when I get home! read more

Made it back here for another breakfast & the latte, service and food were once again excellent. The friendly vibe and happy atmosphere being cultivated here with the staff & customers is great. As soon as you walk in you feel good. Please, 26 grains, don't ever change. read more

I spent three weeks in London studying and I came here for breakfast almost every day. it's an incredible little gem tucked away in the yard. The food and ambiance are both very California - organic, healthy, well-plated dishes many of which are vegan. Have tried just about everything on the menu. I highly recommend the Bircher museli, matcha and chai latte, and Indonesian chicken. read more

Delicious! What a great store and what lovely ambiance. Try to come on a day you can sit outside. Lovely people watching and colorful buildings to enjoy outdoors. A lovely find. read more

Very small place, but we didn't have to wait long. The avocado toast with fried egg was amazing. Very friendly staff. We enjoyed it and we are coming back! read more

Tiny little porridge spot in Neal's Yard but seriously delicious!! They've mastered the art of porridge (which you wouldn't think there is such a thing, but this place made me believe it). I had the hazelnut & butter porridge and if I could have that every morning, I think I'd be ecstatic! They also made a kickass chai tea, so overall loved this place read more

Excellent spot tucked away in a beautiful alley in Central London. Glad I discovered this as a tourist, because it definitely felt like an escape from the hustle of the big city. The food is excellent and the ambiance of the cafe and Neal's Square are fitting for the vibe it puts off. No wifi, which is a bit of a disappointment, but considering the limited number of seats, it's understandable that they're aiming for a social experience or a quick turnaround. read more

Great spot if you're around Covent Garden for healthy breakfast or lunch + juices and coffees to enjoy a sunny day outside inside this cute yard. read more

Delicious, innovative and healthy. A bit tight on space, but you can watch everything prepared as in your own kitchen.

Breakfast was so good! The spices are flavors were different and very satisfying. Would definetely come here again. The location was also really nice. Dont hesitate to try this. read more

If you like porridge, this is the place to be. 26 Grains is like a warm hug in the middle of Neal's Yard. We tried the Banana Cacao, Nordic Pear, and Hazelnut Butter porridges. All three of them were amazing. The service is very laidback - you order your dish, pay for it, they make your dish individually, serve it to you and you're left alone to enjoy your meal. The staff never hover. The coffee is also really good, especially the Americano. read more

Ordered some blueberry porridge and greens. Both tasted great. This place does a good job of making simple food taste good. Awesome environment as well, right in the heart of covent garden. read more

Such sweet staff. Could tell I was running late in the AM and personally made sure that my order came out quickly. Peaceful haven outside of London hustle and bustle in Neal's yard. Love the Nordic pear porridge read more

A bowl of porridge from 26 Grains definitely warms the soul on cold rainy days. I ordered the apple, beetroot and cranberry porridge with almond butter, pecans and coconut yoghurt. It was healthy, delicious, and unexpectedly filling. Staff was friendly and the Scandinavian decor is a plus too! read more
