P: Not available

I must at first say that this caffe is serving a very dark roast coffee but that is just simply a standard in London which I personally am not fond of though. I don’t think one can avoid it but I don’t think there’s any café in the whole city not even some other cafés in Mayfair which cost partly nearly £7 per a cup that’s produces a greater result with those dark roasted beans. The latter art has practically always been wonderful. The milk steam always perfect. The bar is very small. I personally do like it and find it cozy though it is often full generally if you are in Chelsea or even if you have to go a bit to get there and especially if you are different to me fond of that coffee roast, I can wholeheartedly recommend you going there. always been very nice. After having rats, few other comments about they’re not being a lot to eat I would like to agree as well as disagree it is indeed right that there is basically no food there they are brownies which are very nice but it’s not what you would want to eat for breakfast though the shop is called espresso bar not coffee so I do think that justifies it as it makes the full more of a bonus other than a neat because if I read espresso bar, I do notexpect to eat there

Not only does the coffee look pretty. It tastes even better. It's reassuringly expensive. And the brownies are to die for. Some people like the cinnamon swirls but they are a bit sweet for me.

Tiny but lovely coffee shop. Very friendly service and delicious flat white. I chose a cinnamon bun, which was honestly probably the best cinnamon bun I’ve ever had. No laptop policy inside, as there is limited space to sit, which makes the shop even nicer in my opinion.

My perfect spot for when I need a break from London rush. I love the no laptop policy - it creates a space that’s all about the coffee, the people, and your present moment. No need for anything else with such amazing team of baristas! I know, because they bear with a fussy coffee snob like me! Absolutely love it. Such a gem. If you care about getting nice quality coffee - this Hagen hits the spot.

A lovely spot for brunch. Our waiter Amir was attentive and very helpful. Advising us on what best to choose by showing us pictures of dishes on their Instagram page, which was very helpful in making our decisions. I ordered truffle mushrooms with folded eggs and my friend had the Turkish eggs. Both dishes were perfectly seasons and very tasty. We didn’t have room for the renowned pancakes but will definitely return!

We came here on a Sunday morning and, surprisingly, it wasn’t very busy at all. I tried what is probably the restaurant’s best-known dish, the matcha pancakes. The pancakes themselves were very well cooked but I didn’t taste much matcha, it was mainly a white chocolate taste. It was by no means bad, but it wasn’t what I’d had in mind when I ordered. My partner had the grilled chicken sandwich which was nice but a little dry.

We came here on a Sunday. We had booked but actually it wasn’t that busy so I think walking in would have been fine. The dishes were really tasty. The only thing I would mention is that they charged me £4 for adding half an avocado to my dish! Also, what they charged us was more than what they specified in the menu. I think they’ve inflated their prices but didn’t update the menu yet.

Inviting spot to stop in for a coffee or meal if you are visiting the Pimlico area. Sometimes hard to flag down staff but they are very friendly and helpful. Good portions of food and a diverse menu to satisfy various brunch tastes.

Visited a while back for a weekend brunch. The ambience was great, the staff were efficient and the food was good.The menu looked fairly stand but the quality and portion size were outstanding. I had cheese & ham toasty, but the ham and cheese were top quality and the bread was toasted to perfection, my partner had a large portion of crushed avocado with toast. Would be on our list for lunch when next in the neighbourhood.

Lovely atmosphere and staff. Their pastries, tea, coffee and bread are absolutely amazing. There is lots of space and seats for large groups as well. There are lots of nice gifts and café merchandise located within the store. Would definitely recommend to others!

I loved the coffee at Roasting Party along pavilion road. It’s a lovely, small coffee shop serving excellent specialty coffee. You can also get a nice selection of coffee beans inside and the Matcha Latte we had wasn’t too sweet as well. I highly recommend the cafe if you find yourself around Sloan Square.

Nice barista shop in a busy street. The variety is quite big, with a lot of single origin roasts. The setup is decent with a lot nice choice of plant based milks. I can recommend the Nitro, which is prepared in a separate machine and comes with a subtle but fruity taste. The place is too busy though, definitely with a lack of facilities.

Amazing place to get coffee & food to go at Pavilion Road. The service was so friendly and warm 😍 Lovely atmosphere and super good freshly made filter coffee. You can also buy specialty coffee beans for home, they have very nice choice. Seats are outside but it’s even better. Will come again!

A wonderful small cafe with outdoor seating only and a fast-moving queue. Great flat white and a variety of croissants, loaf cake and sandwiches. I tried the cinnamon croissant and it was good. The price very reasonable.

Excellent destination urban garden centre. Consequently pretty expensive - in return for very high quality of both product and service. All you need for 'outdoor rooms' or Chelsea window boxes. Not orientated to large lawns etc. - or rubbish knickknacks.

As a local , this is my favourite cafe in Chelsea . Not only because it’s a cafe serving wine and G and T as well as great coffee . I love the surroundings, and the outside seats in summer in the sun. I love the interior in winter surrounded by foliage. And the prices are amazing for Chelsea ! My fave thing is their soup and crusty bread . But it’s great for breakfast , brunch , lunch and afternoon tea and cake and maybe a G and T any time

Our usual breakfast spot close to the door step. Love the outdoor area in the quiet alley walk way compared to other breakfast places on the pavilion road this place is so peaceful and less crowded. Bagel 🥯 and sandwiches 🥪 were well made, I had mine with a side salad. Fresh juices on offer and apricot tart went down nicely. This is not a table service cafe, you will be given a number stand once the order is placed at the counter. Lavatory facilities are at the back of the Chelsea garden.

As a regular, I absolutely love the changes that the cafe has made. Aesthetically it is very beautiful. The display looks really nice. The staff are all fabulous. Each and everyone one them are soo kind and friendly making the atmosphere so welcoming. The food options are great and taste wonderful (you just can’t get enough). The coffee is one of the best in the area. Tastes amazing. I love the display it makes for the employees to have more room and flexibility to make sure they are providing the best service and experience to their customers as well. I highly recommend this cute, friendly cafe in the heart of Chelsea ☺️

When we went around 5 pm, it wasn't very crowded. The service, drinks, and desserts were good. Overall, I can say I was satisfied. I paid about 20 pounds for a drink and a dessert.

Located close to Harrods. Had to wait in a long queue before I got to enter. Their cake collection is mind-blowing. The food they serve is simple and satisfying. Service was good enough.

We had a wonderful experience at this café! We enjoyed delicious cakes. We tried the Vanilla and Pistachio cake. Both are amazing. I would definitely recommend the vanilla flavour. The service from Rahiee was excellent. Highly recommend this place.

This café in the area is truly one of my favorites. I am so happy to have a branch located here. The variety of delicious options is truly delightful. I highly recommend this place, especially for the variety of brunch choices. Additionally, the selection of desserts is superb. We sampled two-thirds of the offerings, and everything was outstanding. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Outstanding cafe. From the best Shakshuka with a perfect spiced zing to sweet fluff French toast with berries to a crazy assortment of delicious pastries to creamy lattes with fun art. Cool setting with plenty of sun light and funky art. Outstanding service

Wow unreal! First time we’d been here and Tahira was so lovely and polite. We are from Sheffield and thought people from London can be quite rude but she proved us wrong. Had a laugh with her and she is a delight! The food was insane and there is so much to choose from to the point I had to pick 2 different drinks! Really quick and love that we could order it all on a tablet! Absolutely unreal and if I’m ever back in London I’ll definitely be coming back!

Hidden gem for Afternoon Tea in the heart of London, especially if the weather allows you to sit out in the historic garden. A nice change from your typical swanky hotel Afternoon Tea. Full review as follows: ★★★★☆ Ambience The garden cafe has a really charming atmosphere, you really won’t feel like you’re in the heart of London, but in an English village a few hours drive outside the city. If the weather means sitting inside it’s not quite as notable, but perfectly acceptable. Just try to go on a sunny day! ★★★★☆ Sandwiches Six remarkably well-filled sandwiches on fresh moist bread. Very good. • Two hock ham and mustard • Two tuna and cucumber • Two cheese and tomato ★★★★★ Scones and Cream Delicious scones, cream and jam. Could not fault here at all. ★★★☆☆ Cakes A selection of four rather stodgy and dense cakes. Would have been nice to have at least one light mousse style included. ★★★★☆ Service Service was prompt if unspectacular. Note the closing time is strict, so don’t expect to be able to linger. If you found my review or photos helpful, please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you!

Beautiful cafe!!! 😍😍 For visiting the cafe you still have to pay the fee for the garden 🪴 But it is SO worth it! The garden atmosphere is quiet and calming. There is seating inside and outside. You can order inside and take your drinks outside with you. !! Afternoon tea needs to be booked 24h in advance!! Apart from that there are many plants from around the world with lots of information 🤓 Have a cup of tea and stroll around the beautiful garden! 🌸🌷
