Ralph's Coffee & Bar

A delightful sanctuary just meters away from the mayhem of Regent Street. Marco looked after me and I had an excellent coffee and Ralph’s Brownie. It has a wonderful atmosphere and very cosy, especially on a chilly day. The menu looked great and the champagne was flowing for many of the guests. Highly recommended. Will be back!

We walked in having not made a reservation, the waitress was nice enough to check and not immediately dismiss us, as they were quite busy. She found us a spot which she mentioned we’d have to give back in 50 mins as it was reserved for later. We agreed. 10 mins in, she was nice enough to came back to us to inform us that the reservation had been cancelled, and we were welcome to stay longer if we wished. I thought that was a very nice thing of her to do, and the whole staff and service was very warm and attentive. This was particularly nice especially having just come from a previous cafe where the waiter dismissed us without so much as batting an eye, even though we could see they had space. Definitely coming back again

It was the only place we could reserve for Sunday lunchtime since it was Mother's Day in the UK and we were not aware of that in advance. When we booked we had no idea that this is inside a Ralph Lauren Store in Regent Street, the "Ralph's Coffee & Bar" name only made sense once we found it. Décor is classic, a bit "polo lounge" (obviously), tables are small and customers mostly well to do. Classical jazz records as soundtrack were appreciated. Service was nice and accommodated one of us wanting to order an afternoon tea (30 GBP) after checking with the kitchen, since in principle it could be done only by previous reservation. That was nice of them and indeed it's well named as "afternoon" tea and not "high tea" as in some expensive London hotels (where it can cost 70 GBP). It wasn't gargantuan in size or spectacular in flavour but did the job with 5 finger sandwiches, one plain scone and one raisin scone with clotted cream and jam, one piece of brownie with some wort of whipped cream on top and some caramel popcorn. A good explanation of the different sandwiches and the waiter asking which beverage i'd like with it without me having to inquire for a cup of tea that then was included in the price would have been appreciated. My husband ordered a toasted brioche lobster roll that was lovely but, at 20 GBP with only some crisps as accompaniment, it could well be. All in all, it went well and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it taking the price level into account.

A classic RL cafe/bar in the center of the London shopping street, Regent Street. The bar is just as much on brand as Ralph's in Paris, the service and quality are as high here as in Paris, the main difference is the surroundings and the reduced menu. It is a great place for a pit stop while shopping

The equestrian theme is exactly what you'd hope for from the famous fashion brand - think saddle leather banquettes, a brass-topped bar and dark wood panelling throughout. Ralph's serves a selection of delicious coffee and espresso drinks, classic cocktails and light fare that evokes the brand's signature elegant, American style, combined with a European sense of quality.
