We ended up just having champagne and coffee, but both were really good and the whole experience felt fun and a little fancy in the best way. It's definitely on the pricier side, but it's located in a busy part of London inside a luxury hotel, so it wasn't surprising. Also kind of cool knowing Churchill used to spend time there. We somehow didn't even get cake, which honestly feels wrong considering the name, but I'd still go back.

Paul Rhodes is located close to Kensington Palace. We took a short coffee break here right after…read moreour walk at the Kensington Garden. I like this place because of their variety of pastries and they are all fairly priced. Anything from salty to sweet is available. They have all the standard espresso drinks and complimentary still water. I order the sausage roll along with a large cup of latte. Everything can be reheated in the oven if desired. Within 5 minutes my order was delivered. The latte art was poorly constructed but that wasn't a big deal for me. I'll take a good tasting cup of latte over a bad cup with a beautifully etched leaf on it any day of the week. Free wifi is another plus especially for a tourist without a international SIM card. Get yourself a pastry or coffee and Facebook all you want.

After that 1 bite of their brownie, we were HOOKED! That brownie was probably the best I've ever had in my life. The texture was ooey gooey fudge like with still a slight cakeiness to hold it together, big, high quality chocolate chunks, and not overly sweet. I still dream about that brownie to this day! I just wish they could expand this bakery to the USA because this place would win over the hearts of many! What's even cooler is that they sold their own cookbook with a lot of their recipes inside. Thank you for inventing the perfect brownie, I'll be back again next time I find myself in London.

They had other goodies like cakes and such that we didn't try, but we'd love to visit again when in town!

After seeing this place all over social media, I had to try it. I was expecting a queue but was…read morelucky that when I arrived there were only a couple of people in there. Firstly there are different options for a base- a cookie, brownie, doughnut or baklava. Then you choose your ice cream and toppings. I decided to go for the brownie topped with lotus biscuits and flake, and chocolate ice cream. It was really tasty and enjoyable. The portion isn't massive but is a decent enough size. I didn't think it was necessarily worth £7.30 though, which after adding the toppings is the price mine came to. So I do not think it is value for money, but maybe more attractive as a place to grab something and post it all over Instagram! They have got it right, with pink walls, cool seating and novelty mirrors on the walls. I did enjoy the brownie but now I wish I had tried the baklava as it would have been good to try something different that you can't necessarily get everywhere with these toppings. So now I kind of want to return just to try that! Whereas otherwise I probably wouldn't feel a need to return now that I've tried it. I wouldn't say the place was set up for an influx of customers either, considering how much it has been posted/advertised everywhere on social media. There was just one member of staff there when I went (Sunday afternoon) and so she took the orders and payment and then went and prepared the ice cream, so had there been a queue there might have been quite a wait. Like I said, I might go back to try the baklava if in the area, but this is likely somewhere that people visit for a media post and then don't return. The price point is too high in my opinion for regular customers.

I tried a Strawberry rhubarb cupcake, chocolate chip cookie and vanilla almond Sheet cake slice. I really liked the flavor of the frosting on the cupcake but it was a little chalky. The rhubarb but was amazing. The chocolate chip cookie was the best thing I ate - really good. The vanilla cake slice was solid. Overall, I wanted it to be better, and I'm sure it was a few years ago. But it was decent enough and outdoor seating in great weather was a vibe!

The hot chocolate here is dark, rich, and if you order it with "triple chocolate," the cup itself is dunked in dark, milk, and white chocolate. So with each sip you can also lick and enjoy the thick chocolate on the cup--and eat it all with a spoon. Everything edible here can be drenched in chocolate. The people at the next table got a big slice of chocolate cake--with more chocolate poured over it. Incredible. I went to the Fitzrovia location and visited late so it wasn't crowded at all. A unique experience for chocolate lovers. Highly recommended!

The barista and coffee shop staff were so patient and nice - especially when I inquired about ingredients in the pastries and asked to have my Spinach Ricotta Roll heated. Overall it was a great experience - good food, good coffee, and exceptional service. Food-wise: we got a spinach ricotta roll and a custard croissant - and loved both. The spinach ricotta roll was a perfect combination of your comfort hot breakfast with egg + spinach + cheese, plus the flaky buttery outer-layer of a croissant. There was also a bit of spicy kick to it - which I loved! Remember to ask for it to be heated. The custard-filled croissant was also heavenly creamy, with the buttery outer-layer of a croissant, this can be enjoyed at room temperature. Drink-wise: we got a Americano and a flatwhite, which were both really good and hot - definitely woke us up for the early morning / jetlag, which helped prep us for day! They also had some nice tables inside the coffee shop to sit and enjoy your food - so it's also a great place to bring your laptops to. Overall - nothing helps more to start a great morning like a great breakfast, and I think this place had the magic that turned our cloudy morning into a great sunny day - would definitely revisit when I'm back in the UK!
