Drury 188-189

Really a gem of a cafe. Our coffee and brunch was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant is cosy and comfortable. Even though we didn't try the baked goods, they looked incredible. I do have to mention though that we had to queue for an hour for a table of four on a Saturday... More tables of 2, but tables for 4 (or more) are limited and can take a while to be seated.

A busy and atmospheric breakfast and lunch venue. Fabulous food due to meticulous attention to detail. Generous portions. Eggs poached to perfection. Care not to place scrambled eggs on toast (which can make it soggy). Mushrooms pre-roasted to intensify the flavour and remove water (again to ensure no sogginess on the plate). A lovely touch was the carafe of water infused with mint leaves. We saw fresh ingredients brought in - mushrooms, herbs. Only negative was that it was a bit pricey, but then you get what you pay for.

I recently visited this cafe in London, and I must say, the food here is truly delicious. The portions are generous, and the presentation is visually pleasing. The taste of the dishes definitely lived up to the hype. However, I have mixed feelings about my overall experience. The cafe's high ratings and popularity led us to expect something extraordinary, but unfortunately, we found ourselves waiting in a 30-minute queue. While the food was excellent, the anticipation built up during the wait left us slightly disappointed. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but we couldn't shake the feeling that the cafe was slightly overrated. Despite this, I want to highlight the exceptional service we received. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Their professionalism and attentiveness were truly commendable. Now, let's talk about the desserts. We decided to indulge in a doughnut and a cronut. However, we were disappointed to find that both were dry and almost stale. It was evident that they had been sitting out for a while, and we couldn't even finish them. This was a letdown, especially considering the otherwise outstanding food we had earlier.

We patronised this cafe on a weekend morning and we were lucky to get a table immediately. This cafe is known to serve hearty & most importantly very presentable breakfasts and wide varieties of pastries and some really healthy smoothies to kick-start the day. There are many messages written on the tissues and placed all over the place, a good read while waiting for food to be served. So just sit back & enjoy the meal!

An average brunch spot in London with good coffee and instagramable food. Personally, I think the food is not as good as expected, not worth the wait for 40mins at least! Food price is average (££). Food: 7.5/10 Eggs Drury (10/10) - Really good. Hollandaise sauce was on point and eggs are really fresh. For bacon lovers, strongly recommend this. If not, the normal Eggs Benedicts will do! Avocado Toast with mushrooms (7/10) - It a little bit on the sour side. Personally not a sour person, so whoever likes sour food might like this! French toast (5.5/10) - Presentation was outstanding, but taste was not as good. Toast was too dry and berries are bland. Disappointed. Staff: 10/10 - Staffs are really helpful and polite. We were arranged to be sat on a couch and low table and we found it really hard to eat our food from the low table, so we requested to change to a normal table. One of the staffs quickly arrange a table for us and even helped us to move our food to that table. We really appreciate it!

Quick service during busy breakfast/brunch hours, food also came quick. Came for the french toast and they did not disappoint! Will come again for the waffles (heard they're just as good Update: went back for the savoury waffles, the combo of bacon egg and honey on waffles was delish enough for me to gobble the whole thing in minutes my friend thought I was famished! Though the portion for the famous French toast has downsized, and they also swapped the raspberries for strawberries..
