Reviews of Saint Kitchen

Great little independent cafe. Quite pricey (£7 for a scotch egg bhaji side dish) but it's city centre prices I guess. Nice atmosphere and it was very busy but service was still efficient. Only downside is that the kitchen is open plan to the cafe so we came out stinking of cooking (clothes, hair etc). You could even see the "haze" lingering inside the restaurant which wasn't nice. Some better extraction and it would be perfect.

We had a wonderful brunch at Saint Kitchen last Sunday. We had a very warm welcome from Siobhan, who found room for us away from the door and where we could stow our luggage. The place was buzzing - very busy. The staff dealt with it all very efficiently but always in a very friendly way. The food was high quality and delicious, and offered plenty of options. The cafe is well placed on St Paul's square. A very positive experience!

Amazing brunch experience on a busy Sunday afternoon! Great coffee, crispy and buttery warm croissant, nice homemade sweet chilli potatoes, tasty sourdough toasts with avocado, black garlic hummus and well baked bacon. The only downside poached eggs were a bit over, but it was super busy and the rest was excellent. Staff very kind, reasonably priced. Will definitely come back.

Came here for breakfast and I was delighted with the food. Excellent service and the place is very clean and is a big bonus. The food was very good and tasty. Had the smashed avacado with bacon and poached eggs and everything was excellent and cooked to perfection with lots of flavour. Highly recommended for food and the excellent service.

I was expecting your run of the mill brunch place but was pleasantly surprised to get more than that. My smashed avocado eggs on sourdough toast was delicious and my friend's butternut squash houmous as well. Eggs had bright orange yolk which hopefully shows great quality. I like that the sourdough is the default option and the spices were really well balanced. There was nothing i would add or take away. They claim that everything is home made and i am minded to believe them. I enjoyed my cappuccino as well, and not just because there is an option for a small version. The staff was lovely, prices were reasonable... no reason not to go again

Absolutely loved it here! Staff were really friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely and quirky in the best way- combinations I’d have never thought of but LOVED - beautiful location too - made our anniversary celebration really warm and happy because of the lovely staff and tasty food - I hope to come here again !

This is an all round five star place. The food is creative and fresh, and great for vegans. The service is warm and attentive, it smells delicious with the open kitchen. The coffee is top notch and it's really hard to resist the cakes. Peanut butter brownie anyone?! Today I had the pulled mushroom bagel, insanely good.

We had a nice breakfast here on Saturday morning. The menu seemed to be largely bagel based, I had the croque special and OH a smoked salmon bagel. The house chai latte was tasty, we had two each, and the croque was tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed 2 slices of their home cured bacon, juicy and salty, yum! The bagel was tasty too I'm told. It's a nice friendly atmosphere, they do welcome dogs and that's my only point deduction, which is my personal preference. The dog next to us was understandably quite interested in its surrounds and what was on its owner's plate so I couldn't fully relax. Nothing against dogs but I prefer to eat with 2 legged individuals. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I'd return for a takeaway. If you're happy with canines, then this would be a 5 star.

I visited on a Friday morning and had a vegetarian breakfast, it was a bit pricey and cost £9 but I was completely full by the end and had managed most of it. I asked for non runny eggs and they were cooked the way I asked, the halloumi was lovely and salty and the new potatoes and cherry tomatoes were very tasty. The toast was done on a grill and had olive oil drizzled over it so had a lovely charred taste. I went at 10am and it was quiet, however by 10.30 it was a full house, and there were no tables left. I would say if you wanted abit of quiet time in the morning then the best time to arrive would be between 9 -10am. I also had a hot chocolate, and out of the three different varieties I had the original, if was slightly bitter as real chocolate buttons are used, so I would say be wary of this if your expecting a sweet drink and cost £2.60 for a medium. My drink took a few minutes to make and was brought to my table and my breakfast took under 10 minutes. I parked for an hour which cost £1 outside (or £1.80 for two hours maximum stay), so it is possible to be in and out within this time. I feel the restaurant is buggy friendly as there are some tables where a Pram could be positioned to the side, I did spot one high chair, however there were no baby changing facilities, but there was a metal display table in the toilet, that could be used if you brought your own changing mat, but doesn’t look like it would be safe or comfortable. I loved the atmosphere, and I can definitely see myself returning at least once a month for a pick me up. I say come and give this place a try and I will definitely be returning to try the pancakes as they looked divine!

Working right around the corner from here meant I was often popping in for lunch. I enjoyed seeing that the menu would change slightly as the seasons did, for example selling individual wedges of watermelon for 50p when the weather warmed up.<br/><br/>The staff are friendly and helpful when it comes to navigating the extensive coffee and tea selection, as well as just general friendliness.<br/><br/>It's got a very 'local' feel to it, as faces become familiar very quickly and you can see who the staff instantly recognise.<br/><br/>The food itself isn't anything incredibly special, but it's nice to pick up a caprese salad or a thick sandwich and head to St Paul's opposite for lunch by the church.
