The Black Penny

Great place, great food and friendly service ... And really cool ambience in the 'library ' room. We had bacon sandwich and poached eggs with salmon (eggs as u like it)... Delish!

Hreat coffee and good choice of breakfast foods as well as salads . Grab a taable outside when the weather is nice, lovely spot for lazy weekend mornings!

I had my breakfast here and it was fantastic, one of the best places to have a breakfast in London. Try (The Gatherer )

The Hunter breakfast is amazing! Swapped baked beans for sautéed spinach :) coffee is good too but not as good as the food????????

ALL DAY BREAKFAST .. Great Coffee & Great Service .. Lots of options in the menu .. Huge Portions .. RECOMMENDED !!

A great new cafe and coffee stop. Take a seat at the communal table out the back and order a something sweet to go with your brew.

I have never drank a cofee that tastes and smells great as here. Breakfast is wonderful. Cosy and nice place. It is a must seen in London.

Excellent breakfast corner! Can get a bit crowded on weekends so just make sure you have a reservation for it. But definitely great for brunch , breakfast or just a cup of coffee .

Good coffee and the most amazing porridge with caramel banana , I always have it here. What's not good: slow service, and a rude barista told us 'don't you dare take pictures if I might be in them.'

Great coffee , awesome breakfasts . Lots of gluten free options too. A+ crispy duck hash with sweet potatoes . Spicy and delicious.

Coffee is perfect with its taste and the smell. I had a dish called 'gatherer ' which I loved. Everything is perfect. Definitely recommend.

Just amazing the place, the staff and the place. I want it for breakfast with a friend. I tried "the gathering " highly recommended ????

Excellent addition to the London coffee scene, and much needed in Covent Garden . Sit out back for some natural light and try the Bircher - best in London

Amazing taste of coffee five star! Taste zingy lime tart if any left:). Just for bitter lovers. Very polite and friendly service .

Sourdough toast with fried eggs ...available all day! And delicious coffee with a great view .

Eggs were delicious, the staff was nice. A bit on the pricey side and the internet super slow, but overall great for a weekend brunch .

The eggs were "perfection" ❤️❤️. The french toast was very delicious ( the best i've ever tried).

Cheap food & wifi but you won't want to use it..the place is too charming to be stuck with your head in a phone. One if my best coffee & food experiences in London yet :)

Brand new coffee shop in covent garden . Very good food which reminds me of cafes in Melbourne.

Great vibe and brunch food . V60 for filter coffee was excellent, so was the cake !

Nice coffee and breakfast/brunch options. It often has a longe queue for indoors. Outdoors is great and lively , but can get a bit annoying in rush hour.

A must in London. Salt beef hash for breakfast , simply the best!

Nice little coffee shop that seems to have its act together after a shaky start. Very good Alchemy coffee . Expensive though.

Great selection for breakfast . Super fresh, super tasty. Very pleasant both inside and outside. Just in front of Mason Hall Museum

Big room in the back for the Latte and Laptop crowd. Wifi server: Library Password: theblackpenny

This place does a really popular brunch . There was a queue outside for a table so get there early or wait. Worth it though!

Amazing atmosphere ???? loved the cappuccino along with the gatherer ????

Maybe the best breakfast I ate in London - wild mushroom polenta hash !

Their was breakfast was great. Enjoy and also drink their Coffee

Brioche French toast , cappuccino , cranberry muffin and lemon juice

Great food and quite a nice place for working. I love their salads !

Cozy cafe and good breakfast .. had the eggs with halloumi and hummus platter , was so good!

Great breakfast and coffee ! The french toast ????

Harissa scrambled eggs with smoked salmon . Yup these folks know how to do their eggs . Generous portions too!

Pricey but great coffee . Just off Covent Garden with a function room and lots of seating out the back.

Excellent espresso . Great atmosphere. Love it.

Despite it being on the front of their website, the 1p prosecco offer is no longer. They did offer us our coffee free though which was nice compensation.

I love this place for breakfast , will definitely come back!

The Hunter breakfast ! Still one of my favourite breakfasts in London. Great coffee too.

I had an amazing salt beef sandwich . A bit pricey but really good quality

Good breakfast all dishes continue black beans ,, cozy place

Coffee goes without saying but I recommend the food and space in the back especially.

The hunter plate! The gatherer plate! Simply OMG!

Great and enjoyable breakfast . Looking forward to returning and enjoying more of the menu.

Nice coffee and nice staff ! Brownie was an ace!

Very goood scramble - light fluffy and creamy

Went for brunch . Good veggie options . Had the gathering which was lovely and filling.

The salted beef hash was an amazing brunch dish !

Lovely decorated place. We had a nice breakfast .

Great coffee , service and vide. A little bit £££ for a cafe though
