I loved the decor and atmosphere. Food: My friend and I both ordered the traditional English breakfast. I had mine with vegan sausage. The breakfast was exactly what I expected and was pretty good. I was excited they had a vegan sausage option instead of leaving the sausage off like other places. Service: Our service was quick and friendly. We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all. TL;DR - Lovely place for an English breakfast

It was nice to have some vegetables and it was enjoyable. The vanilla scone came in warm and enough clotted cream and jam. The pot of tea was plenty for 2 people. The quality of tea is nothing special just a traditional British breakfast tea. The service was fast and friendly. The interior was decorated that really feels traditionally British, it was a nice touch to the overall experience. Cute tea cups were used as well.

Located in a beautiful hotel with a calm and quiet lounge, the beautiful room was filled with patrons sipping tea. The sandwiches were fresh and tasty. The desserts were inhaled by our boys and enjoyed by all. The scones arrived with clotted cream and jam were equally consumed by our boys. The variety of teas were enjoyable and packed with flavor. If you are in London and looking for a relaxing / quiet tea experience, St Ermin's Tea Lounge is beautifully decorated, tasty and a memorable event.

We just googled the closest crumpet restaurant near us while visiting the Buckingham Palace. Holy…read moresmokes was that a good decision. We hustled over here cause we all really needed to pee (spoiler this place does not have a restroom). We ordered food nonetheless. This was hands down the greatest crumpet breakfast I've ever had. So much so I came back to the states and tried to recreate it three times since (none as successful). It's the type of meal that you day dream about. The service was similar to a deli. Go up and place your order and wait while seated. The ambiance was of a small little hole in the wall type of restaurant but extremely cozy. Could not recommend them highly enough.

Ambiance was nice, bit of a small place but ample seating. I sat outside.

Also offered a couple of sandwiches but we did not try them. Had a nice selection of can drinks (OJ, Red Bull, etc.). The iced latte was amazing. The service was not friendly, but it was a quick in and out (express location). Which also means that there is no seating except for 4 chairs outside. They appear to have a back room, but it was not open. All and all it was a good stop for a coffee and pastry on the go. Not a good stop for a lingering morning breakfast.

It is amazing food - it's in Kensington ( near $$$$ homes ) but you see every class of people there - not pretentious at all- this is a real Londoner restaurant not a tourist destination.

Full English Breakfast on a Monday morning hits the spot…read more Arrived at 8 AM and there was no wait on a Monday. We ordered the full English breakfast which comes with tea, blood sausage, sunny side up egg, bacon, turnip cake, hash brown, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, and of course, beans and toast. The plate is super filling. I loved how crispy the hash browns were. The beans were sweet and paired nicely with the toast and egg. The only con is the bacon was pretty salty. Service was friendly and efficient. They took away our plates for us. Make sure to order before getting seated. They'll call your number at the front counter when it's ready. The meal is huge, so I'd recommend sharing or ordering based off what you'd like to eat.
