"We were SO looking to going to the cereal cafe as we are lovers of cereal, me especially and I was a great supporter when they first opened. We went in on a Sunday late morning and got in time to be seated just before it started getting busy. We were supposed to have table service but they were very busy and the guy behind the counter only looked about 14 so we were prepared to go up and order. Only thing was a lot of other people got their orders taken before us so not only were we waiting a very long time before we ate, but everyone besides the lad were moving at a snails pace. There was no sense of urgency or keeping up with the orders despite it really starting to get busy. My partner has many years experience in hospitality so it wasn't like we weren't sympathic but the level of apathy was unreal. Paper orders mean that someone is still running up and down the stairs to get the bowls made up rather than having one person upstairs taking orders and doing drinks, and one person making cereal downstairs. Just seems really inefficient. Two guys left because they were waiting for their coffee. This was a Sunday as well, not even a Saturday. The concept is there and they're obviously popular but wouldn't recommend to dine in until they get the system sorted. It's such a shame because I love cereal but I can't go back if I'm going to be waiting an age for my breakfast. FYI you get up to 4 types of cereal in a bowl, and extra toppings are 50p. The choice of cereal is supposed to be what's avaliable behind the counter but this isn't always accurate and the same goes for the milk."

"Website is deceiving, and does not show the reality. The website is beautifully designed, and visually opulent giving the impression of a large, plush interior. The menus included brunch, main, dessert and drinks. The actual restaurant is very small cafe, with extended outside seating, with a few staff members lounging around. Arriving for lunch at 12 noon, the whole place was empty, and booking was unnecessary. The staff were disinterested in our arrival. We had to seat ourselves. Seating was comfortable. When asking for a menu, were told to scan a QR code on the table, and when trying to order from the main menu, was told that only the brunch menu was available. The smoked salmon and scrambled egg dish was nicely done and tasty. The ice tea was overly sweet, but the coffee was decent. It was clearly a Muslim eating place, posing as an European restaurant, with the name 'Boulevard '. That Friday, a crowd of Muslim men from the nearby mosque in Regent 's Park came in after prayers. They were treated differently, excitedly welcomed. It was clearly their regular haunt. It felt like an eating place for Muslims, where non-Muslims were not particularly welcomed. However, the other customers were friendly, and more polite than the staff. It was quiet and easy to talk, until the crowd arrived. Overall, the price for the meal was not worth the experience of eating there. Service charge was included, although service was bad. We would not go back."

"Use to be a lovely atmosphere with great staff and food however since the new owners have come in the standards have dropped and they don’t seem to care. Visited with a friend for a quick bite to eat for lunch, place was quiet, not like before when it use to be bustling. Asked for a panini meal and specifically asked if the spicy chicken was marinated where they lady behind the till confirmed it was. I am quite picky with my food and if the member of staff confirms something then you expect it to arrive like you expect. When it arrived I could immediately see that the chicken was not marinated, instead there were 2 pieces of chicken, and I’m not lying when I say they must have been each the size of two 50p pieces and super thin, plain and not marinated, the chilly came via some chilly sauce out of a bottle topped on the chicken. The panini was accompanied with a minuscule amount of chips and salad on the side, more suitable for a kiddy’s meal. When questioning the person behind the till who confirmed it was marinated originally replied with “no that’s how it come”, obviously I was slightly irate as it’s not what I expected, and to top it off my bottle of water that I paid £1.50 was Costco’s very own 330ml Kirkland brand. Overall I will not be returning to this place. The food has gone down hill and the owners don’t care. Maybe I was just unlucky and it was and off day but I won’t go again. Food was below average and definitely not value for money."
