Always loved this place, a Soho institution. The food and service is superb and the atmosphere suitably bohemian .

Juninho Fanti

Full English breakfast is always the best choice. Eggs Benedict are nice as well .

Mark Turner

Great stop for a quick pre-theatre meal. And travelling with my not yet 18 year old daughter, a good way to have a relaxed glass of wine in central London (confused by english drinking laws!)

Slynky Cat

Absolutely gorgeous scallops and really moreish. Great wine selection . Certainly a favourite ❤️. Always excellent quality.

A late night saviour 24h cafe in Soho. Come here after Ronnie Scott's Late Late Show when the tubes have stopped running, and crash through on great breakfasts until the morning.

Ian McDonald

Great drinks - love the pornstar martini as has champagne instead of prosecco

Janet Hopkins

Such nice staff here, nice tea , power points for that quick recharge and wifi too! What more could you want :)

The steak and eggs is incredible, and the service so friendly and polite. Best cafe in London.

Great atmosphere, clientele and staff . The perfect place to sit with a drink and watch the soho crowd.

Get a table by the window and watch the Soho wonders walk past. Great strong coffee too.

Mario Barraja

Is an institution so not much to say about it: you get what you get and you are not necessarily here for the quality of food or drinks

Victoria Hooper

sad,this historic eatery left to its service people devices, ugly women, bored, who can’t understand the cust, the red Thai worst I tasted since ‘04, investors made their monies &letting it die/shame

Steve Graham

Don’t buy their overpriced but cheap tasting house gin or vodka . They don’t have any other brands, just the house.
