"Please read the negative comments. They were shouting at me and other customers. The ladies working there are from Poland. They switch off the credit card machine. They were asking only for cash from customers. They were asking for euros and dollars. I had only my card. I told them before seating down because I heard them saying the credit card machine wasn't working. They told me to seat down and pay later. When I went to pay they told me the machine is not working and to give them euros or dollars. I told them I don't have anything. The lady working there told me she got euros and dollars in her bag. I asked her to show me, she had more then 1 thousand in euros and dollars. They were shouting at me to find the money. It was no cash machine around. Then they told me to come back the next day to pay which I did even when I saw the lady working had the money back. I believe this is money laundry."

Unfortunately the service is almost insignificant and personnel quite rude. Atmosphere is only just okay and food acceptable. Avoid the place!

Terrible coffee and scones! I asked for 2 coffees with oat milk, they gave one coffee with oat milk when challenged the owner was extremely rude. Scones stale!Would not recommend and never going back! I also think a visit from the food standards agency wouldn’t hurt

Beyond the Food one of the most roud establishment I ever experience in my many years in london or the world. The two ladies there shout and in broken English treat you like if you are a naughty kids that misbehaved and this even before you order. The rest I prefer to refrain

I know London is expensive but charging almost £4 a cup in a cafe with 'shabby not-so-chic ' furniture with lukewarm service means that the coffee is outstanding, yes? Sadly, no, it was very mediocre. Back to our preferred cafe without a doubt (it was closed this time) and will definitely not be visiting this one again.

Overall tense atmosphere. When we asked to pay by card, staff acted like it was unprecedented and had to scramble for the card reader. Noticed this happened with other customers, too. Generally felt a burden to be there. Coffee was watery and pastry wasn't up to the price point. Fried breakfast (beans, toast, egg, sausage, tomato, mushrooms) was okay. Had better breakfasts at much cheaper cafes.

Stopped here after a visit to the British Museum, we sat outside and ordered four different sandwiches which were freshly made. We also had the scones, cream and jam again fresh and lovely. When we had finished I went into the shop to pay and they added it all up from memory on a calculator, then when I tried to pay they asked if I had cash, I only had enough cash to pay half of the bill and the rest I put on card. Not a problem though and enjoyed the visit.

Three of us stopping at this cafe after a visit to the British Museum. Please beware, this place is cash only! I wish they had made it clear before we ordered, sat, and finished our afternoon treat. Also, they didn’t have a till, just a hand calculator to work out the bill. I have a feeling we were over charged. But there is no receipt to check! Is this legal, no VAT receipt? I felt like we were treated as tourists someone who will be out of the country soon so won’t make a fuss! The cakes look great from the window. I ordered cream tea, cost £7.90. The scone was soft and fluffy but with an albeit tiny insect baked in. Now I realised I don’t remember seeing a hygiene rating display in the wi...

This is a rickety old venue in need of a revamp ...but a place which reminded me of the very old Coffee shops in Greece. We popped in for a quick brunch before heading off the the British museum. We walked into the shop and instantly started staring at the menu high up on the wall, The owner said ..OK well don't say hello then. I apologised and said..Ooo sorry we were staring at your menu he replied laughingly that's OK I was only joking. Now to some that may appear a rude welcome on the part of the owner. However, to me it was typical Mediterranean humour, which to some may not always fall well. Ok so the mismatch chairs and tables, old crockery and metal tea pots from the 1970's are not fa...
