Caffe Concerto is just up the street from our hotel. We were exploring the Trafalger Square area, and on our return, stopped by for dinner. The pastry display in the front window was impressive enough to attract me...after being seated and looking over the menu, I knew we had made a good choice. Staff were professional and friendly. The food well prepared and well presented. The nicely decorated interior was pleasant and amazingly quiet. They have a full bar, and we had a Cosmo while we looked over the menu. I loved my Spaghetti Pesto with mushrooms (3 types!), and my wife enjoyed her Salmon Nicoise salad. For desert, we shared a Mille-fueille and it was as good as it had looked in the window display! Reasonable prices, attentive staff and wonderful food made for a great meal. read more

What a great find a few steps from Our Grand Trafalgar hotel. The pastries in the window looked delicious, and I was sold when we walked in and saw a full bar and an empty table. They ushered us to a table right away, and we enjoyed paging through the many menu options. Service was friendly and professional. Our cosmos were perfect, and my salad nicouse was tasty. My husband's pesto pasta looked delicious too. Brightly lit and open, with nice decor, many people had stopped in for tea and dessert, but several were enjoying their many pasta choices. We will definitely be back since my husband's mille-feuille dessert filled with custard was terrific. read more

There are several locations. They're all cute and a great atmosphere. Lots of menu choices to satisfy picky eaters - including all day breakfast. Food tasted ok. service was ok (not overly busy yet). They excel at desserts and mini cakes and drinks. Pricy side. read more

Located directly across from Harrods, Caffe Concerto is a good mid-shopping coffee and pastry pick-me-up, with picture worthy decor. I originally asked for a cappuccino with coconut syrup, but since they were out of coconut syrup, regular cappuccino for the win. It was smooth, creamy, and exactly what I needed. My friend had the rose latte, which was standard, but balanced. A charming spot with a variety of pastries and sweets. read more

Ok, you have to have afternoon tea at least once. We dec8ded to have it prior to the National Gallery a bit earlier, but with a 5 hour time difference, we actually had it much earlier than 12. The staff were effocient and accommodating, about 70 gbp for two with an amazing outlay of scones finger sandwiches and tea. The cafe was or ate, and a lovely setting for tea and an authentic experience. Not tyoically a tea drinker, my Lemongrass and Ginger tea was served in a lovely carafe and my wife enjoyed her Enligsh Tea. Enjoying tea in the middle of Trafalger Square in the heart of London is a true bucket list item, and our time here was very memorable@ -Zuk read more

Couldn't get reservations at the Ritz but wanted to enjoy afternoon tea, Caffe Concerto is it! They are conveniently located in several areas around town. Enjoyed an afternoon tea that was equally as enjoyable minus the glitz. The tea sandwiches were delicious. Coronation chicken was delicious. It was served with champagne and tea. They have a beautifully decorated large area inside for dining or you can dine in an area along the sidewalk. The service was great and priced very affordably. read more

Had my first real London afternoon tea experience! I got the normal afternoon tea and it had sweets, and a few sandwiches! It was very filly and delicious.

If you are looking for an afternoon tea this is a good place to try you should try it! It is a bit pricier but worth it read more

We just finished touring the Trafalgar Square area of London and were most definitely ready for a respite and a pick-me-up. Lo-and-behold there's a Caffe Concerto! This sophisticated Italian bistro was just what we were looking for! The perfect ambience, sidewalk tables, café-like setting and the Cappuccino was marvelous. Although they offer a huge menu of items, from afternoon tea, pastas, desserts and more, we were in the mood for their street bistro Cappuccinos and Mixed Berry Nut tart and a fabulous Palmier - one of the most exquisite puff pastries we've had the opportunity to enjoy. It is like a sophisticated croissant! With a little street Italian and London streetside setting, we were soon ready to continue our adventure in the city. Thankyou Caffe Concerto for getting back on our feet and the fine pastry and café. read more

The food was ok. The coffee was delicious. However, the service is extremely slow. Too bad as otherwise cute cafe.

Beautiful and busy caffe across the street from our hotel. It was tea time And decided to try it. The tea it's beautiful decorated but was tasteless.

4/2/23 - we were there yesterday on the way to our hotel. Just hit this place for a quick dessert before going to the hotel. Just finished Dinner and an Escape Room. Ordered a lemon slice of pie, chocolate crepes and 2 large cappuccinos. $30 pounds total and were very happy. Check out the photos. Just earned the Duke as well. read more

This place is below just OK. The wait staff was yelling at each other when we entered, it made me so uncomfortable I almost left. I overheard them swearing at each other and basically threatened to hit someone, pretty sure I heard: Will you give me the fucking lunch menu so I can make some money! Later on, we got a minute plus of waiters yelling at the top of their lungs about how incompetent they were. Had the rose water latte, way too much rose water, American coffee was good. Food took forever to get, French toast was good, the grilled veggie sandwich was decent. Ambiance is on par with the rest of Covent Garden, good outdoor seating. Overall, I would have left in the first 2 minutes but I had my 84 year old mother with me who was hungry and desperately looking for coffee. read more

The food at this restaurant was awful. The spaghetti pescatore was overcooked. The chicken breast with risotto was overcooked. This place is far from being an Italian restaurant. I also ordered French toast, thinking that I couldn't go wrong with that. The toasts were overcooked, the banana was not ripe, and what they referred to as Nutella was not such. We are very disappointed and definitely do not recommend this place. read more

Got a Groupon and was excited to use it. I didn't see the fine print 4-5 pages down the Groupon that said I had to book on their website. They refused to take my Groupon. Food was pretty good. Service was decent. It amazing. read more

Caffe Concerto was amazing! I enjoyed the spiced chai latte so much that I had two. My aunt enjoyed a tequila sunrise which she said was great. For lunch I enjoyed the salmon with spinach and potatoes - again delicious. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was gorgeous. We had to take girl pics. I took berry tart to go because I was so full. It was so cute that I did not want to eat but when I did it was worth it. The berries were sweet and fresh. The cream was light and smooth. The crust was to die for. Great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I highly recommend. read more

NOTE: My auntie liked the salmon steak a lot. Honestly, this place is overpriced. The afternoon tea's tea (the most important part) was served before any flavor had been steeped in. The scones were pretty good. The cucumber finger sandwich was very dry. The chicken mayo finger sandwich tasted good but only had filling on one side of the sandwich. The brioche rolls were quite nice. Would've liked the option to select my own cakes, but I understand pre-selecting these ones for aesthetic reasons + ordering convenience. The prosecco came with a decently large serving. The servers were nice but seemed a little overwhelmed. I had no issue with them or the food (besides the two finger sandwiches). However, some of the dishes were a little dingy at the bottom (the bottom of the prosecco glass) and the menu prices were too high for the quality offered. For context, the afternoon tea with prosecco for one was 39 pounds. I get the hustle, rent is expensive! But it really feels bad to pay nearly 40 pounds for a single person afternoon tea set for shoddy tea and bad finger sandwiches, even when the other parts are acceptable. Will say that the salmon steak is priced alright, but this gives me "tourist trap" feelings. read more

Stay away. Painfully slow service and a 12,5% surcharge make this a hard pass. Breakfast was delicious, but waiting 13+ minutes for the server to take our order was not great. Decor was nice for Christmas, however, I can't eat that. read more

Nice ambience, hubby had the croque monsieur and said it was very good. I had porridge (oatmeal) with strawberries and bananas, perfect portion size. Enjoyed hot chai tea latte very much. Someone on yelp complained about the 12% "service charge" which is actually a tip charge, which I felt was reasonable. All tourist customers never leaving tips is likely why the charge solved this problem. Recommend giving Caffe Concerto a try. read more

We were here was here for breakfast and again for dessert- I didn't want to go twice in one day. Food was fine, service rotten. 2 servers were rude to us, somehow we felt like the stereotypical "ugly Americans" when we asked if our coffee could come while we were eating as we had patiently waited and it didn't come before the food. Asking for milk or cream was fine but when I used it up and my husband wanted more, the waitress looked shocked, confused and told another waiter she already brought 1 over. We only went back for dessert bc it was near our hotel and dessert was a last minute choice. We were going to get them to go so stood and ordered 8 macaroons. We then asked to sit and were told it was only for those ordering "food." Macaroons were good but breakfast was meh and I'll make sure to not go back during our next 4 days here. read more

service was pretty nice, wait staff was friendly enough - nothing exceptional. sitting area was small but quaint. my friend and i both got the pasta and wine deal. i ordered the truffle pasta, which was good, but there's definitely better dinner options around. merlot was not bad, not good. if you're a big meal person, i'd recommend trying something else. i saw a lot of people here for tea and cakes, which seemed the smarter route. come here for the pretty aesthetic or the dessert not the food food. very average dinner, kinda pricey for the experience. read more

Food, ambiance was fun, wait staff a bit slow and stuffy, but overall a fun tea experience.

I came on Saturday afternoon and it was very busy -- the line was out the door. I understand that some people do not work well under pressure, but the host was very rude and I could tell he had a bad day. The employees had to bring tables and chairs from the back and put them in the walk way area in order to seat more customers. Placing tables and chairs in the walk way was very inconvenient, as this makes it easier for people to trip. Unfortunately, we were seated in the walk way and several people accidentally kicked the table because there wasn't enough room to get by. As people kicked the table trying to squeeze by, they've nearly spilled the tea. I ordered the chicken sandwich and was impressed by the size. I've noticed, typically in Europe, the portions are significantly smaller than the States! Our server was extremely backed up and did not bring us extra napkins or refill our waters like we requested. It took a long time for him to return with our bill. Neither of us had euros, so we used a card. We attempted to flag our server, but it was nearly impossible; we asked another server to assist. read more

This was a great little place for an evening drink and snack. Aziz, our server took great care of us

We were sat at a table at 3pm with no wait. Food server was prompt and polite. Noise was minimal and menu was well organized. Calamari was good, but wild mushroom arancini was to-die-for-delicious. Salmon nicoise salad was very good, as were macarons. Rose Lemonade was a wonderful beverage. read more

Not family or baby friendly. Waiters tried to push us away if we were ONLY ordering drinks. Manager is unprofessional and treats the staff badly. After we ordered deserts and drinks, they kept trying to get us to leave by constantly passing by the table and looking at the empty plates (including the unprofessional manager). DO NOT be fooled by the look and ambiance of the place, which in all honesty are pretty. The desert and drinks are below average. Save your money for a better place. Gave 2 stars for the decor and ambiance. read more

The food was bland with no taste and the chicken was severely bad and over cooked. I couldn't even cut into it, that's how overcooked it was. Service was also terrible. At lease 4 tables walked out because the servers were no where to be found. I've experienced this at multiple Caffe Concerto's which is a shame. I was very excited to try there risotto but was very disappointment. We asked the server for chili flakes and Parmesan which he brought out when we were nearly done with our dinner. The server also took forever to come to our table with the check so we got up and paid at the front. I can't believe how terrible our experience here was. Save yourself your time and money and don't go here. Not sure what the hype is. read more

Fancy schmancy! We didn't really plan on eating here but after a long walk we needed a loo & a snack break. Somehow ended up in front of Caffe Concerto. The exterior was very nice. Beautiful chandeliers & mirrors. We were promptly seated. My husband ordered the egg in the nest dish & I ordered the traditional tea service. I didn't realize how much food I would have to deal with! Several sandwiches, muffins & desserts. My husband gave me a helping hand. Everything tasted marvelous. Many people are complaining about prices in their reviews but what did they expect in the center of London at this type of establishment, a "Happy Meal" ? Come on! read more

We stopped to grab a late lunch after a long walk around the area. It was quite busy and the host seemed to be turning away people only interested in getting coffee and/or dessert. I felt that was a little rude esp given that it was snowing outside. Anyway, we were seated promptly. The decor is quite classy, loved the chandeliers and painted walls. But too noisy. Definitely not the place for a formal meeting. Coming to the food - ordered a pizza, which was quite good. Also ordered red wine which seemed a little off, almost like the bottle had been open too long. Overall an average experience. Wouldn't mind going again to try coffee & desserts. And could definitely go back for the pizza read more
