Popin Coffee & Brunch - West Kensington

4 Comeragh Rd, London W14 9HP, UK

4.8 (295 reviews)

P: Not available

I woke up in bourgeois west London and I really wanted something nice and easy to eat. Popin coffee and brunch was highly suggested and it seemed right up my street. This is a cute establishment, as soon as you walk in you feel like gobbling up some eggs. I love art and there is some artwork on the wall which gives this place character. We ordered smashed avocado with smoked salmon and creamed spinach poached eggs, streaky bacon and sauteed mushrooms. The brunch was amazing, I really enjoyed the meal. I was told that I should order the classic banana bread, so I did.... And the dark chocolate and walnuts banana bread with a glass of homemade orange juice. Both cakes were sublime, juicy, packed full of flavour. My compliments to the chef. The staff are lovely as well, the service is great, they have a smile on their face and we didn't have to wait long for our order. If you're in the west Kensington area and you want to eat some eggs. Come here, you will not be disappointed 😊

We went on a Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. We got a table and managed to get food fairly quickly. They ran out of hash browns and shakshuka. But we still got what we wanted. Porridge of the day, dairy free banana bread and eggs with hummus. Cozy place. Friendly staff. Not sure if they allow big parties over 4 people as the place is quite small.

If you want to escape the city crowd and enjoy your coffee in a cozy neighborhood, Popin is the place! We had the avocado toast with poached eggs and feta cheese, and the Turkish eggs. Both exceeded our expectations. The manager was also very friendly.

Absolutely loved this spot! So many gluten free and vegan options that are all labeled well. They had delicious baked goods. I loved my almond milk latte with sugar free vanilla! Highly recommend.

I really love this cafe. My husband and I always go here before church in most sundays. It's like our mini sunday date. We love their paninis and drinks. They are very accommodating in taking our request for ice in our drinks. Hope they can expand their menu.

This a delightful place to have breakfast. Greeted by cheerful staff who make you feel most welcome on entering their establishment. A good range of healthy smoothies or coffees if you prefer and an exquisite menu. I had Eggs Royale that was beautifully presented and very tasty. A big thumbs up.

Incredibly lovely place, the Eggs Benedict was superb, food came really quickly and the service and atmosphere were really enjoyable. The staff were friendly, personable and serviceable, and appeared to have a strong friendship with many community members who entered, I can’t ask for anything more in a cafe!

First time coming to this place. They have a pretty big selection of pastries and cakes. They also serve prepared quiches, salads, and sandwiches but they also have a short menu of avocado on toast, eggs, French toast and sandwiches. The avocado on toast was delicious. They used brioche bread and it made the combo even tastier. Lovely staff. Highly recommended if you’re around Hyde park and Ken church streets.

Really nice little cafe. Located in a residential area although on the main road. The place is small. They have just a few tables. The menu offers bagels, avocados and eggs on toast, pancakes and french toasts. A bit of the classic brunch options. Really lovely atmosphere and good service. They made me a New York bagel with avocado instead of cheese. At no extra cost. I’ll come back for sure.

Had takeaway for breakfast. Their portions were just nice for me, not too much. i really love their eggs on toast, it was tasty! came with choice of poached, fried or scrambled eggs - i went with the popular choice of scrambled, never regretted it. blueberries pancakes were served in 3 pieces, with bananas and blueberries. I was staying just 5mins walk away so food was still warm when i got back. the shop could be easier missed along the street, inside is well spaced and cosy with warm lights.

Another little gem added to our list of favourites! We had lunch here and the Ruben bagel was totally delicious. The Americanos were top quality as well. We have passed here regularly in the past but will be stopping here regularly in the future. 2 Americanos, a Ruben bagel and tuna salad on ciabatta came to £18.20. Friendly staff and good service!

A fantastic little cafe with the utmost care taken for my partners allergy, the chef came out himself WITH the food he was about to prep and checked to make sure everything was okay even staying he had washed the bowl through 3 times. Nowhere I repeat NOWHERE has ever taken this much care and we really appreciate it. We ordered coffee, tea, eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs on toast and everything was delicious with good portion sizes and adequate cost. An amazing little establishment and highly recommended for people to stop off at for a bite to eat or small meal!

Lovely place. Not many seats especially if a customer hogs 2 seats by sitting rather anti-socially at the seats facing the window 😅 Loved the banana cake with chocolate frosting. At first bite it was a tad dry however on the second bite it became delicious. The latte was so delicious and the milk froth was perfect. Coffee was extracted amazingly and no bitterness or sourness was detected at all. The lady who was manning the cafe (the only staff) was very warm and friendly, smiling. Will be back, God-Willing!

I stopped by today to get an iced coffee with oat milk, and I was genuinely impressed. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience so much better. The coffee itself was absolutely delicious, definitely one of the best I’ve had in a while. I’ll absolutely be returning and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others. As someone who is neurodivergent and sometimes struggles with social interactions, I really appreciated how comfortable the staff made me feel when I was ordering. I didn’t feel awkward at all, and that made such a difference. Thank you for such a positive experience! ☺️

My favourite local coffee shop. I wonder how to I rate 6 stars for the service? The baristas are lovely, remember your usual order, always smile and simply make your day better. Good coffee and very yummy pastries, nice a cosy place to sit as well, but tiny and gets packed often.

Hidden gem in Kensington. Very positive atmosfer. Some people sit and chat. Some families have huge breakfast. Also animal friendly some people come in with dogs take coffe and go for a walk in the park. Waiters give them treats. They say that we dont know our quests name but we know the dogs name ;)) And they dont call them customers.. All we eat and drink was great. Esipacialy cilbir which is a local Turkish egg with garlic yogurt was perfectly done. Crambled eggs with feta cheese also very delisious. Waitor who served us was very kind and very fast.. We enjoyed alot. We weren t like customer we were like a guest.

Cafe Jumo is an absolute gem tucked away in the heart of London! It’s a small, charming cafe with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The owners are super friendly and always take the time to make sure you’re having a great experience. Their selection of sweets is fantastic—everything I’ve tried has been freshly made and incredibly tasty. They also offer a wide variety of teas, so there’s always something new to try. One thing to note is that there’s no Wi-Fi available, so it’s not the place to come if you’re looking to work or stay connected online. But honestly, it’s a great spot to disconnect, enjoy your surroundings, and relax with a cup of tea and a delicious dessert. Do be sure to check the opening hours before you visit, as they can vary. Overall, I highly recommend Cafe Jumo for anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming place with great treats and friendly service. You won’t be disappointed!

The atmosphere, food and drinks are exceptionally good! I always order avocado on toast with smoked salmon here. It’s really delicious! I also like to see people at the cafe chill out and enjoy their time with their nice meals and drinks. I’ll highly recommend this place if you look for a lovely homey cafe in London :) The location is also great. (Easy to find and a short walk from High Street Kensington station)

Had a decent breakfast at Cafe Phillies. It’s a cute little place in Kensington with plenty of options for lunch. I tried both the Croque Monsieur and omelette with feta and tomato and both were average tasting as I didn’t feel they were unique. The pancakes were quite good though and the berries were fresh and flavorful. However, I am not rushing to go back

I recently visited a charming English cafe, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with cozy seating and lovely decor that captured the essence of a traditional English cafe. The menu offered a fantastic selection of classic English fare, including breakfast items, sandwiches, and of course, a variety of teas. I opted for a traditional English breakfast, and it was hearty and satisfying. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the sausage and bacon were flavorful, and the toast was fresh and crispy. I also couldn’t resist trying a slice of homemade cake, which was simply divine—moist and rich with flavor. The cafe’s selection of teas was impressive, and I enjoyed a perfectly brewed Earl Grey that complemented my meal beautifully. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed while also providing helpful recommendations. Overall, this English cafe is a hidden gem, perfect for a cozy meal or a relaxing afternoon tea. I can’t wait to return to explore more of their menu!
