Oh L'Eto, why are you such a mess? I've given you two opportunities and both times are distinctly l'meh. Disinterested (and mostly absent) wait staff, over an hour's wait on a quiet early afternoon with restaurant 2/3 empty, an overpriced "stack" that comprised of two thin 4" pancakes, no plate decor on croque monsieur. Both coffee choices off the menu that we wanted were out of stock, so we got plain coffee. Coffee refill was never offered (yes, we would have wanted to buy another, thank you). No water for table. Nobody asked how we were. Nobody apologize for delay. :/ Come on, guys. read more

Nicely decorated place - interesting Salt and Pepper shakers. Minimal with a twist it how I would describe it I guess. Half price cocktails over Easter weekend with was nice - absolutely delicious drinks. Very fresh ingredients and went down like a dream - it felt like an alcoholic smoothie. The puddings there are super nice - this is what drew us in in the first place - their window display deserved more than a second glance. Annoying that they don't have much seating and only one toilet - but seems like more of a grab and run kind of place. They had some food other than puddings which all looked delicious and again very fresh. A little pricey for some things but most likely worth it. read more

So here I am, on a Monday trying to have a nice relaxing cup of tea and slice of cake only to have the entire experience shattered but what can only be described as "the managers big day off"... Overly loud and dated house music, dimmed lights, rude and disorganised staff plus overinflated prices for what is on offer. Things began their slippery slope when walking in the door to join a queue: was this the takeaway queue or the one to be seated... Who knows? The staff certainly didn't. After five minutes in the queue we were finally seated, well I should say, ordered to sit at the most narrow table I have ever experienced situated right next to the head of the aforementioned queue. Nothing like having handbags hit you a few times a minute when there are numerous other free tables near by. However the look on the waiters face was very much "do what you're told". We then discovered that in order to place an order the queue needed to be joined again... After losing your place and joining the other baffled folks with quizzical expressions for another 5 mins to finally order and pay it seems ludicrous. Another 5 minutes later the cakes finally turned up. As did the volume of the music. All serenity gone and the rage beginning to boil I asked for our order to be put in takeaway boxes as we decanted ourselves to a nearby square in order to rescue the pleasant experience we originally wanted. The cakes are rather good but the staff and service is beyond reproach. read more

Charming Italian café in Soho with delicious desserts and a nice brunch menu served until 5pm. Love the concept of regional breakfast dishes. Good drink menu as well. I had a slice of the dulce de leche cake and it was moist and delightful. read more

Oolong milk tea is absolutely wonderful. The staff were extremely attentive. I had a wonderful time. I chose the strawberry napoleon while my friend had the green layered cake! So yummy. read more

As a millefeuille fiend (I've had their rhubarb millefeuille for breakfast on several occasions- no regrets) I can vouch for the deliciousness of their pastries. Great if you're wanting a small portion of happiness. I haven't had the salads (I always go for dessert/ breakfast/ both are not mutually exclusive) but they look really tasty too. read more

Honey cake is the best desert they have.bits very light and moisture. The coffee is perfect. read more

L'Eto Caffe - Amazing Pancakes! - Cafes Near Me - London, XGL

Amaaaaaazing desserts and teas. I could not get enough of the honey cake. The chamomile tea was just perfect. I like that their teas are served with actual tea leaves. I stood in line for at least half an hour...worth every minute. Lovely staff as well. read more

Just like another Yelper, Hubba B., said : 'So much promise so little satisfaction' These were also the exact same words my friend used as we received our meal. This review is based on the breakfast/brunch menu. My friend and I saw the front window filled with deserts and could not resist the temptation. There is a great choice of breakfast, but unfortunately the smoke salmon tasted like it stayed to long on the counter. As for the eggs, we were not particularly impressed. That said, the atmosphere at Eto is buzzing and their fresh juices are excellent. read more

One of the best cafés in London. Amazing selection of deserts, teas and very delicious food. All cakes and salads are always fresh. However, the place is always packed with people, which makes it very noisy. read more

I always thought L'eto was a cake store, but they sure make a great selection of healthy food for us to enjoy! So glad I came to dine here for lunch, I'll definitely returning here for more! read more

I love cakes. I bake a lot and probably eat a bit too much cake. So, when I'm out in London and need some cake, I am often stuck. So, sometimes I need to take a risk and try somewhere new. When walking past the window with dozens of amazing looking cakes, I needed to stop. The cakes looked too good. There was lots of variety and some different things. Unfortunately, they did not taste as epic as they looked. Don't yet me wrong, they weren't bad. They just weren't great. And they were pretty expensive. £5 for a slice of cake? I got the chocolate caramel slice and was slightly underwhelmed. The honey cake was probably the best out of what we tastes. Again, not horrible but not the best. I ordered a mint tea which was fresh and came in a nice large pot. This, I like. I haven't written this place off completely, I may come back and try for breakfast / lunch. But, if I have cake, I'll lower my expectations. read more

Amazing amazing amazing desserts. You can't go wrong with dessert here. I've tried a variety - some of my favorites are the honey cake and the caramel cake. A lovely place to go for sweets and tea. read more

Honey Cake. Nuff said :D

What a amazing find. We were just walking and stumbled across this place late in night. Gem of a place for having deserts. They have selection of deserts in the display which you can select from and order. The decor is beautiful and the staff is just fantastic. Very helpful and accommodating . Would highly recommend. read more

Got two pastries, one OK, and the other had seen better days. Next.

You really can't miss this cutesy cafe because the dessert display at the window is expansive and colorful and drool inducing. Even if you are not hungry, you'll want to go inside and check it out. Love their honeycakes, which tasted like they're made with a graham cracker crust. Moist, just sweet enough, and quite creamy. Their millefeuille was also tasty, but rather on the sweet side for my taste buds. Good lattes. Warm and cozy ambience. Friendly and fast service. read more

Nice selection of cakes and good coffee. Some unique cakes such as bailey's cheesecake, honey cake and blackcurrant (ribena?) cake. Went there a second time for take away. Nice place to go after dinner for dessert and coffee when you're not really feeling like going to a bar, although you might have to wait a while for a table when coming on the weekends. Maybe a bit pricey compared to other cafe's but you pay for the quality. read more

I would give this 3 1/2 stars but I think it's slightly overhyped on Yelp so I'll round down. I tried the famous honey cake, and maybe my expectations were too high from all the reviews, but I thought it was just pretty good and not amazing. The cappuccino was also just slightly better than average. I would be willing to give it another try as there were a few other desserts that looked good. But it's hard when Hummingbird is right next door, and that's hard to beat when I need my sugar fix. read more

Honey cake tastes like graham cracker crumbles from your childhood and the pistachio and rose cake tastes like all your grown up fantasies. Yes, please! read more

Mr. Snarky introduced me to Konditor and Cook, I introduced him to Wardour Street. In reality, I hadn't specifically thought of L'Eto, I really just thought about wandering down the street, bakery hopping, drunk on sugar and cake. I gave him the option to decide and I think the fact that L'Eto has everything on display in the window was a deciding factor. We went in, were greeted and managed to find a seat. We took turns looking at the goodies in the window. I wanted to order more than one thing, but I really had to practice some restraint as well. In the end I had the Ricotta Cheesecake and the Jasmine Passion Fruit Iced Tea. Mr. Snarky had the Honey Cake (apparently their signature cake) and the Mango Passion Fruit Lassi. I knew the Ricotta cheesecake would be lighter, but it wasn't nearly as creamy as I was hoping. And the raisins were surprise... as always. The surprise was the Honey Cake. I tried it and I said to Mr. Snarky, "It tastes just like a Graham Cracker!" He started laughing because it tasted familiar to him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Fortunately I had brought him a box of Graham Crackers for him to compare to! My iced tea was very refreshing, but if you are looking for something sweet, you should try something else. I figured with a sweet treat, I wouldn't want to go too sweet with my drink. The Lassi however was lovely. I have never had Lassi and had it not been made with dairy products, I would've ordered one. I think I would need to go back again to try some of their other items before giving L'Eto anymore stars. And that is a job I am willing to take! read more

This place was pregnant friendly. The manager gave me a stool to sit while I waited for a seat. This place serves drinks in a light bulb. They had special cakes: birdberry cake and the rose lychee cake. The name and slogan of the caffe was interesting. The wait time was fast and there was not really much of a space to wait inside. There's 1 toilet. read more

L'Eto had an adorable ambience. The perfect combination of pop hits through the past decade paired with alternative and indie vibes played through the speakers and most of the walls serve as colorful comment boards. Everyone is welcome in L'Eto. The staff is super friendly, the food is incredible, and dessert is to die for. I got the Italian breakfast -- oyster mushrooms, scrambled eggs, burrata, cherry tomatoes, and sourdough toast. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it. My friend ordered the Californian. It was everything it was advertised to be and very good, but unmemorable. It consisted of tortilla chips, fried eggs, queso fresco, guacamole, and pico served over a tortilla. Our food came out quickly, and the service was great. We finished lunch off with dessert. For me, a chocolate fudge cake. For her, the pistachio rose cake. Mine was what I expected -- thick, dense, fudge. Hers was beyond expectation. It was absolutely incredible. Light, fluffy flavors exploded in every bite. We will definitely be going back! Might try something new on the entree menu, but we need more of that cake. read more

The honey cake was a great as I remembered. However service was as slow as ever. In fact, I believe it's got worse. Waited for 10 plus minutes for my salad and cake?! Apparently they forgot to serve me my salad... Clearly need for better kitchen management. read more

Variety of desserts and surprisingly they are all soooo good! Opens early and great service!

I originally walked in wanting to try the honey cake I kept reading about. Well at 5:50pm they had already run out. I was so disappointed but they have such an array of other beautiful desserts that I thought I'd try something else. I asked the waiter for his favorite cake and he told me the Napoleon. He did not steer me wrong. OMG it is amazing!!!!!! I also got the baileys latte which is pretty amazing. I'm really happy with this little cafe which is only 3 blocks from where I'm staying. Not too good for my waistline but hey, you only live once. read more

I was walking to Princi when L'eto Caffe's window display of tempting desserts caught my eye. I then looked up and admired their interior: dark wood and black with silver accents, brightly lit and welcoming. I decided to stick with the plan and go to Princi anyway, but the lack of seating quickly convinced me to go back and give L'eto Caffe' a try. We got a burata salad, burata cheese with tomatoes and rocket, and polenta (in pie form) with sundried tomatoes. Both needed seasoning quite badly, so I asked for salt and pepper grinders. The first salt grinder didn't work that well, and I ended up switching and wrestling with two others until I found one that worked. Coffee looked gorgeous in Bodum Pavina double-walled glasses, but was mediocre and disappointing. Since they just opened, I would assume that they are still working out their kinks, but until then, I'll be going to Princi. read more

Yummy brunch! Sweet servers great food and ambiance thumbs up! Everyone should try!!

The food and drink gets 5 stars, but having to deal with the physical space is really a burden. I try to go in when it's not crowded because it's such a hassle. People come in with shopping bags taking up extra seats and tables or in the tiny space between the tables that one would need to get out. Sometimes I spend a good 15 minutes sitting at a table waiting for it to be cleared from the previous patron. While I love a hazelnut latte and a raspberry tart, sometimes it's just not worth the effort. If that is stuff you don't mind, please ignore my review. The quality of the food is fantastic but the service is not amazing and the seating is really horrible at peak hours. read more

Came here for brunch with my fiancé. The brunch menu is extensive so it was hard to decide... I went for the buckwheat pancakes with a side of compote and yogurt, it was FANTASTIC! Not too sweet and the yogurt, compote and pieces of mint were the perfect combo. As for my fiancé he chose the truffle cocotte egg. While you could taste the truffle it was nothing to get excited about. We would come back for more pancakes! Try them!! As for the service we had no problems. Everything was quick and friendly. read more
