A great selection of savoury and sweet, I definitely recommend stopping here for a bite if you're visiting the museum!
I would recommend choosing the hot food option that's made fresh, some of the other food choices have been left on the display and it shows.
Not to be missed is the V&A stunning cafe with frescoes, stained windows and great food options. Had tasty scone with clotted cream & jam & cappuccino - can't get better when surrounded by such ornate beauty. Great way to rest your feet after browsing the amazing collections here.
A very nice place to go for tea and coffee, including light lunches. The interior of this cafe is stunning, especially the main hall, seating is comfortable, prices are reasonable, coffee is very good, and staff are friendly. Very clean here, definitely a really nice place to come for afternoon tea, morning coffee. I'll definitely be coming back soon.
I decided that @vamuseum would be the museum of this London trip instead of the other big and famous ones. Saw a few good reviews of their cafe and it was indeed very beautiful!
The cake was nice and not a bad price for a museum, but most importantly it was so nice to sit and enjoy tea time and the extraordinary interior after walking around for hours.
I haven't tried all the scones in London but at least among the places I've been to, The V&A cafe serves the best scone. Really decent atmosphere inside. It's quite packed on the weekends afternoon so recommend you visit early on the weekdays and enjoy cream tea.
We had the pleasure of dining at lunchtime on Sunday at the world's oldest museum cafe. What a delight! The food was superb, fresh, healthy, tasty and freshly prepared. Fabio, the maitre de, was professional and efficient and supprtive of his staff. We felt very comfortable and welcomed in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The decor was so beautiful and stunning set in the 1860s. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and cannot say more about how wonderful Fabio was and the experience of dining at the V&A museum cafe. Fabulous! The cafe is a work of art and a must see for visitors to London and the V&A
The cafe has several serving 'kiosks' but each of them selling different things; e.g. hot food, sandwiches, tea/coffee or snacks. Without wandering around the whole area it's impossible to see what's on offer and there is minimal signage. We went at a very busy time and couldn't find sandwiches, ended up in a queue for hot food instead. Then we needed to queue again for tea and coffee.
But the food was lovely.
And we spotted the sandwich kiosk on the way out.
Excellent sightseeing experience.
It takes a few days to see it all.
It certainly is worthwhile.❤️♥️👏
Great coffee in superb surroundings but the service was so s l o w. They were not at all organised and this was frustrating, many mutterings in the queue!
A wonderful cafe located inside V&A museum. The cakes are not sweet and you will definitely feel relaxed after a cup of tea or wine.
Just afternoon coffee but delicious cakes, scones etc, good selection and well presented. Average price at 3.95. Lose a star for no obvious vegan labelling and maybe no vegan choice. Coffee was good.
Staff seemed little disorganised but young and maybe still in training. Pleasant though. No outside possible due to wasps.
Cafe was excellent, clean and well spaced, comfortable seats. Pianist made our day.
My wife’s niece brought my wife, our younger daughter and I here for an afternoon tea on Friday, Nov 11, 2022. While the ambience was distinctly different, there weren’t any paradox of choices on food and drinks. I made use of the very friendly free WiFi to write this review.
Self service with different counters for hot drinks and food. Delicious salads are served as an accompaniment to various options such as wraps, crab tart, etc usually with 2 combination salads from a choice of 4. Everything looks healthy, fresh and interesting. There are also slab cakes, cheese or fruit scones and choices such as cream and jam. There are 2 side rooms with magnificent stained glass windows and highly decorated walls and pillars, as well as modern corridor seating.
Absolutely stunning place! I enjoyed my tea and millionaire’s shortcake while listening to fabulous piano music and looking at the splendour of the interior 😍

Lovely place for afternoon tea. The scones of the V&A cafe are the best I’ve ever had. They are a must to try if going to the museum. You may be able to experience a live piano performance as there is one in the middle of the tea room
Enjoying the wonderful art on display, and the piano accompaniment in the dining room. The decor needs to be seen, the chandeliers are fantastic!
I settled in for afternoon tea and cake and was not disappointed. If you like carrot cake I can recommend theirs.
