    Chocolate Bun
    Cat C.

    We were looking for a quick bite before our West End show and saw this bakery along our hop on/off bus. We found one and it didn't disappoint. It tasted just as delicious as it looked. Prices are reasonable. There is bar and table seating. A great stop!

    Best decision to start my London morning in the bright yet relaxing Danish bakery. Counter service with lots of table seating. I had the traditional Danish cinnamon swirl and a mocha. For an added touch, the barista decorated my mocha with a lovely flower motif. The sweet dough of the danish swirl was tender and moist. A must try on your next visit,

    This review is for the Strand & Waterloo location, however, the Chai Tea Latte I ordered at Ole & Steen was the best I've ever had! Amazing quality and fresh baked goods. I also had an almond croissant that was quite tasty and fresh. I'm very happy I decided to try them and would happily try their other locations. Highly recommend trying them out for breakfast when in London.

    You arrive and get in line and order at the counter. There are some tables but it's not a ton based on the crowd. We were lucky to snag a table. We order breakfast sandwiches and espresso drinks. The bread was super tasty. I got a cheese everything bread sandwich - I thought it might get toasted but it didn't so heads up - may need to ask. Quick and easy place to get breakfast so you can head on your way.

    We wanted a quick breakfast place so we thought we would give this location a try. Through the window the pastries looked amazing but once inside and up close, they weren't the most visually pleasing. Also, the savory breakfast sandwich options were pretty limited. Being pregnant I wasn't able to have anything with meat on it (they were all premade) so I went with an egg and cheese sandwich. While eating my sandwich I noticed that some bites had an odd sweet flavor. I guess they also put some type of jam on it that, to me, was not that good at all and just made the sandwich soggy. We came during the week but in a busy city the place was still packed. All the tables were taken and the only table I found was one that wasn't cleaned up. We moved the trash to the side of the table and during our entire meal, no one came up to clear the table. I would try other places before I return here.

    Great cafe with a pretty chill local vibe, despite being located in one of the busiest parts of London. They have a full menu of just about everything on your radar, from high-quality coffees and juices, to pretty decent food and pastries. The interior is really spacious, with two floors' worth of seating and comfy couches that invite you to stay awhile. There is table service, but you first have to order at the counter, which can take awhile given the long queues, sometimes. Coffee and teas, you also have to get yourself at the pick-up counter. My single-shot oat latte was unexpectedly-amazing, but my cheese toastie left a bit to be desired; nothing to write home about. The cookies and pastries they sell, however, are on-point. Just pick your sweet poison. If you want my recommendation, go with one of their chocolate chip cookies; they are legit! Service is friendly, hassles are few. There are worse places to be.

    This proved to be a fast place to get dessert and breakfast for the next morning. I had trouble deciding among the offerings and asked for a recommendation. The server pointed me toward the Copenhagen mess, a limited special item. As I had Eton mess in my dessert wish list, this sounded great to try. This was truly something worthy of Bake Off: a biscuit topped with cream and fresh fruit, with crunchy meringue on top. Exquisite. My husband selected a slice of chocolate cake. Traditional but oh so good. For breakfast, we grabbed a chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll. While neither was fresh, both were delicious.

    So glad we happen to pass by as we were walking around. We got a cinnamon and almond bun. It was so soft and delicious. It was a perfect afternoon pick me up. The rest of the items looked good and I wish we had more time. I would definitely recommend for a treat. Service was awesome too and very informative.

    Very okay. Coffee was so-so. Sandwiches were very so-so. Bought a loaf of rye bread to take home and that was quite good.

    The food was really really good as was my latte. Ambience not so much, just so-so. But food and drink were great.

    The coffee and desserts were good. They are super understaffed and several with bad attitudes. I'd try other places before I went back.

    When planning our trip to London, I had a lengthy list of things I wanted to do and places I wanted…read moreto eat, and at the top of my list was to enjoy an Afternoon Tea. My sister-in-law is an amazing planner, and since we were meeting family in London for a few days, she planned a wonderful tea for us here at Tea and Tattle. This place is an old family bookstore that was then turned into a wonderful spot for afternoon tea {with still carrying on the feel and look of a quaint book shop}. Reservations are required since it is only large enough for two, maybe three seatings at a time. Once your party is seated, you will receive your menu and decide on the Tea menu that you desire {how many Teas, Sandwiches, Cakes and Scones - with a wide variety of each}. Would you prefer a Coffee, a Smoothie or a Salad? No worries, they have those options as well. Be sure to inform your host about any allergies as they can customize your tea settings based on any restrictions. The Hubs and I decided on the Tea For One - This included a pot of Earl Grey {or your tea of choice}, a selection of five Mini Tea Sandwiches which may vary {ours included Cream Cheese, Chive and Cucumber / Mature Cheddar and Chutney / Ham, Rocket and Red Onion Marmalade / Ham with Mayo, Mustard and Tomato / Chicken with Cucumber and Lemon Mayo Chutney}, Scones topped with a Delicious, Mouth-Watering Cream and Strawberry & Raspberry Jams as well as Lemon Cake and Mini Chocolate Eclairs. Each guest will also be served a deliciously tangy glass of lemonade as a final sip for the afternoon. Every single bite and sip of tea was perfectly paired and the experience was a wonderful way to spend our last day in London with the family. I highly recommend this experience if you want to feel a little extra fancy and enjoy a spectacular afternoon tea.

    So my mother and I ate at a lot of eateries while we were in London last year. Only Bloomsbury Cafe…read moreleft us declaring defeat: we just couldn't finish our meals here. Their servings are HUGE, and are so affordable too! I left wishing my mother and I had the ability to save our leftovers for later, because we hated wasting any of the delicious food that we ordered. Even before we got our food we were pretty excited. When you walk in you're greeted here with a beautiful sight: fresh sandwiches, bread, and pastries, all on display right at their main counter. Once we were seated I noticed little flower pots line the window, too. Fresh food and flowers - what more can you ask from a cafe for a first impression? We also loved the owner and his wife: they were very kind and they constantly kept us up to date on our food order, just to mention what was done and what they still needed to do or cook. They clearly work hard to provide fresh fast meals - and we learned quickly as people came in and out of the place that takeaway is available here. But we wanted to enjoy a sit down meal, and enjoy we did! I started mine with fresh squeezed juice - we're talking so fresh you'll want to add sugar to it if you're used to the juice that comes in stores. And when our English breakfasts came out? Just, wonderful. My mother and I each received SO much food. Both meals came with amazing buttered bread (like, I would have happily eaten an entire plate of bread and only bread), hash browns so fresh that they may as well have given us the original potatoes (yum), and what I can really only describe as a mountain of beans, eggs, and meat (well, on mine anyway - not so much on my mother's vegetarian breakfast order). All of it absolutely delicious, and every single bite made me smile wider and wider. Definitely walk on in if you're near this little shop. Don't be afraid to order one meal and share it if there's only two of you, either - you'll likely both leave well fed, and you can always order a little more food if you want too from that great looking counter of theirs...
