I tried the scones and were great. I think that it’s kind of expensive. The coffe isn’t bad and the place is nice. Friendly employees and fast service as well.

We stumbled across this cafe after visiting the British Museum and were so impressed with the tea and scones and the reasonable price. Would visit again in the future!

A fine find after visiting the British Museum. An independent cafe, with fabulously strong coffee, incredibly friendly staff and very quick service. Very small and quite claustrophobic inside with room for only 1 - 2 customers at a time, so we sat outside as the weather was warm. One coffee, one tea, one scone with jam and clotted cream plus a gorgeously gooey florentine cost just over £14.

I was in London an entire week (after have breakfast here) and I didn't find another place like this... I took the breakfast in the picture and I can't believe it liked me so much (and I'm not the perfect British breakfast lover). The service is really fast and quality and the atmosphere is kindly (despite the few tourists like me in there). Totally recommend

Popped in for a quick pastry and cappuccino while waiting for our timed entry to The British Museum. What a delight. The croissant was light and flaky and the cappuccino perfect. They had cases filled with many delights. Looking forward to returning for additional treats. If you’re in the area pop in. They are a small business so cash is preferred but cards are accepted.

Lovely afternoon tea and excellent location close to the British Museum! Good choice for an afternoon snack after a day at the museum. There are vegetarian options too!
