Risking Cafe - Menu

Avoid this place. Nobody cleaned the table, waited so long for two breakfasts and a coffee had to remind them our order 3 times. Bad quality, very expensive even for tourist place.

We had couple of coffees and sandwiches and the price was much higher than indicated. I advice to stay away from this place they clearly are overcharging tourists on a permanent basis. Do not be fooled about tables being full!

Decided to pop in for a quick breakfast, lovely food, and seemed to be very busy all day (passed next to the cafe a few hours later after visiting the British Museum). Nice little place, a good choice of food, in the afternoon few tables... View menu

We came here twice and neither time were we let down. The team serving were friendly and helpful. This is a small cafe but don’t let the size fool you. We had the cream tea on both occasions and the home made scones were truly excellent. We will be back.

We were doing a book-based treasure hunt with friends and fancied a coffee. Popped in here as we were passing. A good range of lunches was available but we only wanted coffee and very, very good coffee it was. Pleasant service and, for central London,...

It's always a good indication when a cafe in a tourist spot is popular with locals. This is absolutely true of Ruskins. Only 50 meters from the British Museum it also happens to be one of the best cafes in the area great food and THE BEST SCONES IN CENTRAL LONDON! Enjoy! View menu

Went there twice for breakfast. It was busy but friendly and cozy. The first morning we sat outside, the second morning inside. Service was great, food and drinks were fine. The hot chocolate is be best we have ever had in London, we live in Switzerland, chocolate is important to us, the brits have no clue but at Ruskins it was perfect. The scones beautiful, butter and jam in rich amounts. Can only recommend it!

What a surprise. We arrived in the area to take in the British Museum on a Saturday afternoon. Queue was about 1km long. So we decided to grab a bite and wait for the line to go down. Popped into this cafe for a bite. Pleasantly surprised we were. The pastries appear to be made in house. A custard tart that I sampled was absolutely heavenly. Had to purchase a second one. Toasties were excellent too. Had the Aubergine. Wife had the egg salad sandwich. Recommended.

We stopped here for coffee and pastries, just passing by, and it looked good. We went inside but took our order outside to sit at a table and enjoy the weather. We got two fabulous pastries and coffee for about $12. We then went back in when we were ready to leave and got a few more of our favorites for breakfast then next day. It is quite small inside and feels a bit rushed but I’m sure they are used to people who have been there before and not strangers from the US like us . Don’t hesitate….stop here and get pastries, scones, full breakfasts, coffee, tea, etc…. View menu
