Fork Deli Patisserie

choose this place for breakfast. the place was lovely and the staff was amazing, ended up spending hours started work with more coffee as it went by. so its certainly the best place for peaceful work and meet up with friends. The French croissant was fresh and fluffy. The hard bread with creams was absolutely a delight of having french breakfast. coffee compliments as wholesome breakfast.

Wonderful place!. My partner and I were in London for Chelsea flower show and were so delighted to find Fork! We stayed in Cartright Gardens and popped in for breakfast. The staff were super friendly, gentle, fast and efficient. The food was fresh, very reasonably priced and coffee best we have had in London. I had the granola with yogurt and rhubarb which was just fab and original. If your'e anywhere nearby go to Fork, it will make your day.

I honestly don't really know how to sum up how much I love fork: I come every day. They have a perfect selection of sandwiches, beautiful salads, soup, savory tart, gorgeous desserts and great coffee and tea. I have never been anything less than totally satisfied. Also, everyone is really friendly and the space is really cute.

If you are even remotely local, you should come for lunch!

Fantastic. A fantastic new little cafe this area of Bloomsbury desperately needed. Beautiful interior, amazingly fresh salads and you must try their almond croissants!

A welcome addition to my neighbourhood!

There’s no better way of celebrating good fortune than sharing it with the people I love. This time, I decided to treat my partner to a cup of tea and a slice of cake, to which he obviously didn’t say no. Our destination was a deli-patisserie that goes by the name of Fork, right off Tavistock Place.

Of course, I had done my research. I devoted a few lunch breaks to looking for a nice café that serves delicious desserts, and Great Little Place’s tip-off suggested that Fork could be what I was looking for. I headed there with a feeling of uncertainty, not knowing what I would find; more afraid, perhaps, of disappointing my partner, whom I had dragged there from West London, than of finding that reality wasn’t meeting my own expectations. What I found, instead, is that I had no reason to worry. Fork was exactly what I was looking for, and ticked all the boxes, from “nice café” to “delicious desserts”.

The space is cosy enough to give you a warm, homely feeling, and big enough to not get too crowded, even though only one table was free when we arrived. I could easily picture myself spending a whole afternoon there. Laptop on one side, a cup of coffee on the other, relaxed and focused and inspired to get some writing done. I’d love to try that, actually, as I haven’t found my “writing spot” here in London quite yet.

When it came to ordering, we faced a challenge, as there were plenty of sweet treats on display. There were croissants, Portuguese Pasteis de Nata, a Carrot Cake that looked extremely inviting – and, as if this wasn’t tempting enough, Orange and Almond Cake samples. We took one. It tasted great.

The choice became much easier when we saw the four big scones on the far right of the counter. It’s written in the books (or, at least, it will be as soon as I write one): you simply can’t resist a scone at teatime. Not when it comes with two different kinds of jam, and a teapot of Earl Grey.

The price was also very reasonable. Had we gone to one of Bloomsbury’s more well-known cafés, the same amount I spent at Fork would probably have been the price per person, and the portions would have been half as big. The only downside is that they didn’t accept card payments at the time of my visit (January 2013), so make sure you have some cash on you, or you’ll have to queue at the Brunswick’s cash point before enjoying your treats.

My Cash Point Mission didn’t take long, and tea and scones were already on our table when I returned. They came with Strawberry and Rasperry jam – two of my favourites. Both were excellent, and I struggled to decide which one I liked the most. In the end, Raspberry won the pageant. A pageant that involved several spoonfuls of strawberry jam, to make sure my judgement was as accurate as could be.

I hope I’ll have a chance to visit Fork again, perhaps at a different time of the day. I’d like to try their coffee, as they use Monmouth Coffee beans, and I love Monmouth Coffee with all my heart (but then who doesn’t?). I’m also curious about having lunch at Fork, as the savoury food I saw on display looked very tempting. In particular, I set my eyes on a Spinach and Feta Quiche I won’t forget so easily…and who knows, maybe next time I’ll feel bold enough to sign the Fork Wall of Fame!

Gracious and welcoming staff. Quality coffee. Great spacing of tables indoors and outdoors. Plenty of lunch options. Impressively fresh and hot sandwiches. Delicious. Reasonably priced. Great neighborhood hangout with locals who are friendly, helpful and kind. Absolutely scrumptious, most, notably fresh fruit cake that goes beautifully with a fresh, hot chai latte and the preparers’ genuine smile and good cheer.

The cupacinno is quite good. The bakeries is quite good. These is not expensive. The staff is nice and friendly. The place is quite nice. *drinking water available* *washroom available* *credit card payment available*

Lovely staff, delicious pastry, good coffee-a little bitter for my taste but others may like it.

They have been super nice and friendly. The food? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Chocolate cake: 10/10. Scone: 10/10. Avocado toast: 11:10 🥹🥹🥹

Really nice place to have breakfast. I especially recommend pain au raisin! Coffee isn't the best I've ever tried (compared to italian standards). Definitely recommend for a breakfast in London
