Lovely cafe with amazing food! We got the avocado and salmon on toast with scrambled eggs on the side, I highly recommend this combination for a filling and delicious brunch option. Their coffee and smoothies are also a must try, as well as their classic tiramisu. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location and atmosphere is great, we’ll definitely be back for more!

Came here as the place we were staying at didn’t offer any breakfast my bfs friend wanted to try an English breakfast. I got the Healthy option which tasted very nice and fresh. Do wish it was a little bit bigger as the Full Monty wasn’t much more and looked a lot bigger

I’ve visited this cafe twice in the last few weeks, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the area! Every meal I’ve had here has been delicious and filling. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are so lovely! It’s clear this place is loved by locals, as there’s always plenty of regulars stopping by. If you’re in Kensington, definitely pay this cafe a visit!

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!

I had an amazing experience at this cozy café. The flat white was perfectly brewed, rich, and creamy, just the way it should be. Paired with a buttery, flaky croissant, it made for a delightful breakfast. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax or get some work done. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Me and my sister were staying at a hotel in the neighbourhood and found this very cutesy place. We both took a toast (avocado toast and salmon toast). It was very tasty and fresh. The waiter was super kind and witty. Will be back for sure! ☺️

A very small and cosy coffee shop with incredibly friendly staff who were very easy to interact with and have conversation which was nice, they were attentive and made sure everything was ok. My husband and I went for filter coffee each which was very good, it had a Smokey sweetness that was unexpected but lovely. I decided to go for ‘The Ultimate Breakfast’, consisting of avocado on toast, fried egg, crisp bacon and Himalayan pink rock salt and my husband had the ‘Blueberry Pancakes’ - all very delicious and made with great quality produce but the portions were rather small and the blueberry pancakes had more banana than blueberry, but tasty all the same. For the portion size the price is rather high so we would happily return for coffee and buy the packets they sell for at home too, which is great, but probably wouldn’t order food again.

We had breakfast here on a morning we were leaving London. We were seated promptly and the place is cosy while the tables are not too close together. We had scrambled eggs on sourdough toast and poached eggs on sourdough toast respectively and both of us had mixed fruit. The eggs were exceptional and the coffee great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

An absolute gem! Amazing blueberry cake, strawberry cream cake, peach and almond tart, Cortado, and cappuccino! They offer halal dessert and probably sandwiches as well, but i only tried the items I mentioned. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I noticed the hygiene is great there, and high standard work ethics is also obvious. It's almost always packed, and only have high chairs. (I've seen a sign pointing to the door in the back that reads "more seats here," but I haven't checked it)

This chain cafe is located at the corner of High Street Kensington, making it very easy to find, just a few minutes from the tube station. I was surprised to discover they have a branch in London, as I visited them during my trip to Korea and enjoyed their delicious cakes! This time, I ordered a Matcha Latte and a chocolate cake, and both were fantastic! The chocolate cake was rich and moist, with a perfect balance of sweetness and a deep chocolate flavor that melted in my mouth. Although the prices are a bit higher than other cafes, I definitely recommend it—it's worth a try!

Lovely cafe centred in Kensington High Street that serves up coffee, tea and an array of pastries and cakes. I was lucky enough to be there in the morning to catch their free samples of cake that they were giving out. They were kind and generous in allowing me to take two. Coffee was good and they had a strawberry shortcake and blueberry one. They were really soft and light which took me by surprise. Definitely coming back to try their whole slice one day, as well as their other pastries.

After an early workout, I was in such a great mood to have breakfast outside this morning—one of the perks of WFH! Paris Baguette was a place I visited often in the Bay Area. I really miss their discontinued matcha croissant—it was so delicious. It was my first time visiting their store in London. Thanks for offering almond milk the Christmas songs (not too loud 👍)🎄The avocado toast was great, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

My friend and I had afternoon tea at the Paris Baguette in Kensington High Street today. We were pleasantly surprised at both the quality of food and the wonderful attentive staff who couldn’t do enough. Everything was well presented too. We will definitely be returning.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Concerto on Kensington High Street, and I can confidently say it was an epic experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautiful display of cakes and pastries in the window. The eye-catching array of treats made it impossible to resist stepping inside. We stopped for a lovely cup of coffee ☕️ and indulged in a sweet treat, and we were not disappointed! Every bite was heavenly, reflecting the high quality and craftsmanship of their offerings. A special mention goes to Robin, our waiter, who provided exceptional service throughout our visit. His friendly demeanor and attentiveness truly enhanced our experience. We are already planning our next visit, with afternoon tea on the agenda. I can’t wait to return to Cafe Concerto and try more of their delicious creations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delightful culinary experience!

Cute place, stunning breakfast. Morning time there's a lineup, however it is worth it to come and try the exciting sandwiches and coffees. Staff tries to accommodate people asap. Otherwise, the place is tiny, but that may be part of the tourist experience)))

Overall I had a great experience at this place. I was visiting London from Miami and this was one of the first places where we could have a decent breakfast that wasn’t only pastries and croissants. It was located near our Hotel in Kensington, right in front of the subway station Earl’s Court. The food was good but be prepared if you go on a busy weekend because it gets very crowded and are expected to wait to be seated. We had to wait like 15-20 minutes for a table and in the end, we ended up separating our party in order to eat. The staff were very nice and communicative the whole time. While you wait you can have coffee and pastries if you want.

Escape the city's hustle and bustle at Montparnasse Cafe in London. The cozy ambiance and delightful surroundings create a tranquil atmosphere. The highlight was the heavenly pancakes with blueberries, perfectly fluffy and accompanied by bursts of fruity sweetness. The exceptional black coffee, rich and aromatic, was the ideal start to the day. The attentive and friendly staff provided exceptional service, adding to the overall experience. With its Parisian-inspired decor, Montparnasse Cafe offers a charming and memorable cafe experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a cozy retreat in London.

Liked this place, was very authentic with a wide offer from good desserts to omelettes, crepes and gallets. Staff is friendly and enjoy each other company too which is nice to see in people working together. We were allowed with the laptops. Tables were not that big to work with a laptop but still good thing there no restriction policy and we could fine sockets. Toilets are clean and well fitted. Many thanks, will be coming more

We managed to get a table for 4 yesterday, so spent a bit of time absorbing the cosiness of the place. We enjoyed the coffee and the sandwiches. The place is quite popular and busy during peak times. Inside seating is limited, but customers tend to hang around outside, which gives a nice vibe.

Highly recommend for the fresh cardamom buns and matcha here👌Having lived in Copenhagen, I’ve craved and miss buns from there and this place always hits the spot. It can get incredibly busy and hectic so grabbing a seat is a bit difficult but it is still great to grab for a takeaway and have a walk in Hyde Park.
