Stopped in for cream tea (and pictures!) while my family and I were visiting London. The tea was so good, we bought some to take home with us and the cakes were delicious and tasted as good as they looked. Service was above and beyond and we had a lovely afternoon. The store itself looks like something out of a magazine or a movie even. Ambiance was great for an afternoon date. A little pricey, but for us and the experience, it was absolutely worth it.
I'm coming this place because is really pretty! I'm from Miami and I love the pink place! Coming this morning, Friday 10 am the place have people but no to much... We take the table outside the lady tell m I can go any table available. She comes for the drinks and take some time to come again for the food, also I need to ask somebody to take my order for the food... because she never come back again, is not to much friendly. For the food We ask for 2 lates to much stronger I ask for more milk and still was impossible, I left all 2 coffee and nobody ask me for the drinks or the coffee are ok... The food the avocado toast was a lot of avocado but didn't taste to anything. I ask for the egg on the side and scramble... but then give me a poche scramble discussing. The rest was ok but nothing special. I try to go inside to take a look for the place but the same lady to take the order said I need to wait outside I can't go inside Really he didn't like to have a customer service! But then they charge you 12% for service charge and didn't go to the server You have a lot of place with better food price and customer service! The best you can do! Take a picture in the door and go to take a breakfast in the other corner!
Peggy Porschen is giving major feminine energy, and I'm here for it! I'd bookmarked them years ago and never made it in, on this most recent trip to London I dragged my bestie in with me. This is definitely a spot to come with the girls! My bestie is male and he made do ;) It's entertaining seeing the men who got roped into a visit. The shop was decorated for Halloween and everything was so cute! I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and my bff had a latte. We shared a carrot cake slice and two different cupcakes. His choice, a chocolate salted caramel popcorn cupcake was the clear winner between the two. My choice, the red velvet was dry and not great. I wouldn't suggest ordering that one. The carrot cake was fabulous! I had a nice time and I'm thankful my male friend came along although I was more than happy to visit solo to spare him the girly vibes. All of the men in here, sort of have the same look on their face, like... "why am I here?" It's a very sweet shop. If I had a daughter it would be the perfect spot for a great dose of girly goodness. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in town - because it's just too cute not to. Service was spectacular.
What a divine experience! I was struggling to find a morning tea experience and I didn't have the availability for afternoon tea in my itinerary, until I found Peggy's! And I'm so glad I did. Not only is the interior absolutely picturesque and clean, but the servers were so pleasant and helpful. They helped me take all my pictures, continuously checked in on me to make sure I had a great experience, and were highly efficient. The food was amazing, especially the French toast! The French toast was fluffy and sweet and just perfect. I certainly want to come back here next time I'm in London!
Hands down, the absolute best afternoon tea experience of my life. This place was very reasonably priced for what it was. I cannot emphasize enough - ITS WORTH IT! We got the English breakfast tea with the afternoon tea. The cakes were AMAZING. Like, melt in your mouth amazing. Not to mention this is probably the cutest place you'll ever eat at. 10000000/10.
Instagram away here! We came for brunch and felt lucky to find a table outside on the street. The entire area is a must see while visiting London. Just gives you a great feeling that you are out of the US and in a truly memorable place! The tea was great, the sandwich was great and the dessert was great!
I took my mother here for afternoon tea. Immediately we were greeted by beauty, a pale pink exterior with an archway of greenery, flowers, and baubles over the entrance. Everything here, from the cakes displayed in the front room to the cozy decorated tea room to the three tiers of delicious food, is pretty. My order: Festive Afternoon Tea Food & Drink: Everything on our three tiers was good. But the highlights for me was the egg sandwich (I'm not typically a fan of truffle, but this was so good), the gingerbread Christmas tree, and, as always, the scones and clotted cream. It was a lot of food, even more than I am used to at afternoon tea, so make sure to come hungry. Atmosphere: The front room is where you can order sweets to-go. We were seated in a small side room with five tables, all there for afternoon tea. The whole place had beautiful festive decor, and a cozy delightful feeling. Logistics: If you're looking for afternoon tea, I'd recommend booking online ahead of time. I booked a reservation the day before, but on the day of, I saw people unable to get a table. When booking, make sure you book for the right location. This one is in Belgravia; it's a leisurely 5 minute walk from Sloane Square station. The toilets here, like many places in London, are in the basement. It's a bit of a narrow staircase, a heads up to anyone with mobility issues. There's also a time limit on the booking. Check their website for how long you have the table for, I think ours was 90 minutes.
Its pricey but sooo worth it. The storefront is so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. I took so many videos and pictures. The portions are so big and delicious as well. It is so much to eat that you will have a togo box which they pack up for you in such a cute box and bag. I would love to come back here.
This Instagram-worthy spot is a fun stop in Chelsea. Its a busy place. It's quite small with inside seating for about 22 and 2 tables outside. If it's too busy or you'd rather not wait or you're just here for the exterior photo ops, you can get takeaway at the counter including beverages We chose to make an afternoon stop and enjoy the interior ambiance. It was a warm day so they had run out of Summer Berry Iced Tea. I opted for a Iced Pistachio Spanish Latte (a unique blend of espresso, steamed milk, condensed milk & pistachio syrup) I'm glad to have made a good choice. For cakes we chose the Lemon Drizzle Raspberry cake. Our other choice was a Vanilla Buttercream Strawberry layer cake. Both were tasty, unfortunately on the dry side which was too bad. We saw others enjoying the afternoon Cream Tea which looked pretty and designed for great IG photos. Overall, go for the photos and perhaps a fun Girl Day to just enjoy being swathed in an explosion of femininity
I had so much fun check out their location in Belgravia! I have been following them for years and the visit was totally with it! They have a fully vegetarian (and vegan) afternoon tea option which made me so excited and it did not disappoint! It came with so much food! I went alone as I was on a solo trip to London and felt super comfortable the whole time, the server was even kind enough to take some cute photos of me which I really appreciated!
Did two other way more expensive Afternoon Teas during our trip yet Peggy Porschen Belgravia took 1st place hands down! Friendly staff and great/fast service, delicious bites/tea (my fave was the pumpkin loaf and autumn cupcake- so yummy!) and the decor/atmosphere was beautiful. Definitely recommend to give them a try and make a reservation in advance (We visited on a Wednesday and they were still pretty busy).
This is a very eye catching stunningly beautiful cafe not far from my hotel, especially in the evening when it is lit up with fairy lights. I went for breakfast and had eggs on toast which was lovely and a gingerbread hot chocolate. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and I had a lovely time just sat looking around admiring its xmas festive vibes with fake snow, xmas tree and wreaths on the windows. Here you can also purchase beautiful cakes, biscuits and macaroons which i had planned to go back and buy for gifts for people but unfortunately didn't have time but I would highly reccomend visiting if your in the area.
This cute café in Belgravia is a must visit! The fun seasonal decor and the pink exterior is Instagram worthy, and the cakes are delicious! I stopped in here for breakfast on a weekday, and even though the staff had lots of online and takeaway orders to fulfill, the service was great! I would recommend stopping in just for the cakes or macaroons as the desserts are the real stars here, and there isn't much seating. I'll be back!
I was looking for a cute brunch place to get some tea on my trip to London and my friend I was traveling with suggested this place. I was immediately struck by the bold floral and pink decor from the outside. They have an all day menu as well as an afternoon tea. If you want any of afternoon teas you have to make a reservation in advance. Other than you can do a walk up. We went during the week but I can imagine you might have to wait during extra busy times. I loved how it was located on a quiet side street away from the bustle of the main roads. It added to the ambience and felt like you were in a neighborhood cafe. They also have a take away counter of the cakes and cupcakes inside as well. Something to note if you are sitting in the front part you will have people coming in and out. There's seating both inside and outside. We were seated inside and ordered from the all day menu. I did start with a pot of Vanilla Rooibos. This was right up my alley with flavor blend and not too caffeinated. I also ordered the eggs Benedict and the slice of the Carrot and Hazelnut Lemon Loaf. The standout was the Loaf cake. It wasn't overally sweet and I love a carrot cake. The lemon icing was just sweet enough to add to the cake part. It was reasonably priced and fairly fast to get a seat and order. Everyone was so friendly and it was so relaxing to enjoy on our busy day. If I'm in town again, I will come back! read more
Wow! I thought this place would be just super pretty and aesthetic for photos but my kids LOVED the tea here too. The decor speaks for itself and the staff were so friendly. The tea was very traditional with yummy scones and lots of croissant sandwiches which we adored. They also had hot chocolate and smoothies for kiddos who don't drink tea. Five stars all around, I highly recommend the morning tea here! read more
What attracted me to this place is all the pink, the florals, and the cakes! The neighborhood is also great! We had morning tea here and they are generous with the food (see pics!). Everything was delicious. I only stopped eating because I felt like I was going to explode. And the tea selections are great and served in pretty florals tea set. The service was also great and attentive. I would definitely come back here with my gal pals! (Came here with my husband and he appreciated the decors). read more

I love this place! It's probably the cutest place to grab a bite in all of London! I got the midsummer berry dream cupcake (a seasonal one) and the pink lemonade and both were delicious! The service was fast and attentive. I bought the cookbook too and I'm so excited to use it! You cannot leave London without paying Peggy Porschen a visit! read more

Very chic little London cake shop. The pictures speak for themselves. The food wasn't my favorite, but the service definitely made up for it. Our server was this very nice Brazilian guy, I wish I remembered his name One thing I'd suggest before coming is preparing for the possibility of sitting outdoors as there was a lack of seating inside. Although Peggy wasn't perfect, it was one of my favorite memories of my first trip to London. read more

I'm giving 5 stars because you're most likely going for the famous location and ambiance. The decor almost makes your estrogen do backflips because it's just so beautiful and feminine. My rating isn't reflecting the taste of the food. I'm a foodie and just didn't like the taste of either of the two desserts I tried. They were bland, but honestly, I came here for the pictures. Also, crazy expensive. :/ read more
The cutest place but I may be biased since everything is pink. Aesthetic atmosphere. I don't like coffee but their rose latte has me craving it again, lemon cake with rose buttercream was the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I came in over my spring break with my dad when we spent a few days in London before heading home to Canada. I instantly fell in love with the place when I saw it. It's very pink, which I love! I had a cream tea and a slice of vanilla cake. The tea was one of the best cups I've had in my life and the cake was spectacular. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The interior was beautifully decorated, so much that I would have stayed in there all day! My only complaint is that my tea and cake came WAY before my dad's scones, so he was sitting there for a bit just watching me eat. However, his scones did come out hot, so that leads us to believe that they were freshly baked, which makes up for the wait! Overall, I had a lovely time and enjoyed myself very much. read more

Adorable, tiny little bakery just a few stores down from Dominique Ansel. It's hard to miss the pastel store front covered in flowers here. The store is so tiny inside you may also see a line outside of people waiting to get in. We had just stuffed our faces down the street at Dominique Ansel but there was no way we could walk by this adorable little bakery. When we arrived there was no line anymore to get in. There are several café tables inside but it is seriously small in here, don't come with a large group looking for a table (and I mean no more than 3 people). We picked out some macarons, meringues and of course cupcakes to go. Service was excellent here and everything was packaged perfectly to go. Skip the macarons here (grab them next door) but don't miss the cupcakes or meringues. read more

The vanilla cloud is the best vanilla cake I have ever had! Easy to jump in and get a quick dessert. read more
This place is aesthetically pleasing. That's basically the whole review. To be honest, I was quite disappointed when I arrived. They don't take reservations and I wasn't sure why until I got there. Inside the shop seats maybe 10 people. It's sooooo tiny. I was in literal confusion to how it had so many high reviews and over glamorized photos when in reality, hole in the wall. There are seat in the outside but unless it's a beautiful day outside, no one wants to sit in the cold just to have a cupcake. There's no actual food. It's more like a dessert and coffee shop. If you are lucky to not have to wait in line for 20 minutes to be seated, prepare yourself for another disappointment. The desserts are just that. Desserts. Nothing over the top or memorable. To make up for it, everything just looks pretty and that's basically it. Once the insta photo is done, drink up your expensive coffee and one bite cupcake and disappear just like the money in your debit. If not for how nice the employees were here, my review wouldn't have included stars. read more

I'm so happy I finally visited here. The stuff of IG dreams (for this girly girl) No reservations but we only waited a few minutes. Honestly, I don't remember what I ordered exactly. The cake slice I chose supposedly won a flavor award this year and yes it was very good. I wouldn't describe the cake as moist.. it was different from other cake shops. I think I would describe it as .. firm. Not in a gross way. But yeah it wasn't moist or doughy or crumbly. I'd just say firm. It was good. The cupcake was mint flavored. It tasted okay! Beautifully decorated as you can see. read more

The outside is absolutely stunning. The inside was cute as well. There was a decent selection of cakes to choose from, and I also got some iced cookies to bring back to America. I ordered an Oreo cupcake and a slice of the lemon-raspberry cake to-go. The desserts are not as memorable to me as some other cake shops, but they did taste fine! (Also, the price for the flavor may not be worth it, but if you want a cute spot for photos, drinks, and desserts, this is a great place to visit!) read more

This cake shop is amazing! Despite the 30 minute wait outside in the freezing cold, our visit was well worth it. My wife and I came here with some good friends while visiting London on vacation. The cake was delicious and the icing was beautiful. The sponge in the cake was perfectly tender and not too soft nor too firm. The staff and waiters in here were very polite and attentive. Overall this place is wonderful, and a must when visiting London. read more
An absolute must-visit in London. The service was delightful, and ambience was elegant and peaceful. I only came here once, but the memory of Peggy Porschen will always be one that I look back fondly on. Peggy Porschen is located on the street corner of one the most charming, posh neighborhoods in Victoria. I came in at around late morning on a weekday, and there was virtually no line or tourist-crowding, which I was very grateful for! I enjoyed my tea outside, where I could observe passerby and bask in the morning sun. I ordered a slice of the Strawberry Champagne cake, which was a moist Victoria sponge baked with real vanilla and champagne syrup, layered with strawberry jam and vanilla bean buttercream, with a beautiful raspberry-colored chocolate truffle on top. The jasmine tea, which is "a light yet aromatic blend of Chinese green tea and perfumed Jasmine flowers" was absolutely wonderful, and paired wonderfully with the strawberry jam and vanilla bean. Charming does not even begin to describe Peggy Porschen Cakes. It is elegant, delicate, bright, and so quintessentially British -- I cannot think of a more lovely place to have afternoon tea, or experience your first English tea as a visitor! read more
when in London, take the time to visit this very majestic place. a bakery like no other, churning out simple yet majestic cakes and cupcakes, and of course, coffee and tea. got there and sure enough , line up was around the corner + dozens others taking pictures by the front door. we quickly fell in line on a rainy day and to our surprise, the line was moving despite the tiny little dining space they had. turns out, they started opening tables on the outside of the establishment and people were agreeing to it. wanted a table inside so we stuck it out for a bit. finally our turn came and we ordered 1 of the summer specials, strawberry champagne cake and a cookies and cream cupcake, a babyccino ( mint hot chocolate, and an americano. the cake was amazing. not too sweet but had so much flavours. you can actually taste he freshness of the strawberries that was sandwiched between the cake. the cupcake was the biggest surprise of all. right inside and in the middle of it all was an oreo cooking. never had a cupcake like that before...lol. plus all the creamy icing on top. cupcake was moist and velvety. the mint hot choco was great. exquisite presentation and taste factor. it complimented the pastries well. the americano was rich and smooth, just how i like it. lol. service was top notch! servers very efficient in turning tables and very helpful. smiles all around. they kept the place running smooth. now why 4 stars? - its quite pricey! lol. i think they charge too much money for whats being offered. i firmly believe that they dont have monopoly of quality. there are other places equally as good and capable of serving the same thing. lol. a must visit for afternoon tea. :) cheers! read more

I came here before about two years ago and din't realize that I got super lucky with timing because this time when I came, it was super packed.we sat outside and although it was a bit chilly, it wasn't horrible, as long as you bundle up! The service was quick and the girl was very nice. We got the raspberry, rose and (i believe) lemon slice of cake plus rose infused tea for two. It wasn't the most expensive tea and cake i've had but it was still pretty steep for about to cups of tea and one slice of cake. The cake was pretty incredible though. It's nice to know that even though they have a ton of people coming in for the display, they still produce yummy desserts. The tea was really great too, i'm so bummed they don't sell it! And of course, the display! The main flowers were down already but they had a gorgeous "love" hung up for valentines day. And there were plenty of flowers by the seating area. Overall, pretty satisfied with my tea and dessert. read more

Finally made it to Peggy's! I've been wanting to go for over a year and was so excited to finally see that pink & flowery facade before my eyes...not to mention the queue. You will more than likely encounter a line here, just a heads up, that famous store front picture on everyone's Instagram is at least a 10 minute wait. Luckily, my sister and I arrived before most people would consider cake as an appropriate breakfast, and we were promptly seated outdoors (which we wanted, it was a rare sunny day in London). The service was friendly and prompt, and the menu seemed very appetizing. We ordered the raspberry rose cake, a chocolate cupcake, two macarons (caramel, orange) a babyccino (small hot chocolate),a latte, and two summer berry iced tea's. Everything was perfectly presented, and met our expectations. Many pictures were taken, many onlookers on the queue glared at us, awaiting their turn, their photo ops. That's kind of where the perfection ends, though. The satisfaction came from eating with our eyes, but the cakes, macarons, and coffee were honestly quite subpar. The lemon layer cake tasted just fine, but was quite dry (I'm guessing it's because it needs to hold its shape?), my sister said the same of her cupcake although she rather liked the flavor. The macarons were also quite dry and crumbly with large air bubbles. My sister enjoyed her babyccino (but really, you can't mess up a hot chocolate) and my latte was just decorated milk. The two summer berry iced tea's were delicious and refreshing but nothing to write home about. We really enjoyed our time here, it was a beautiful day, beautiful presentation, beautiful photo op and the flavors were good - but perhaps we're just used to moister cakes? Maybe it's a cultural thing? Regardless, I'd still recommend coming here. By the way, we heard the table next to us complain about the brownie so maybe avoid that - it didn't look so great, and there are better things on the menu. read more
