Cafe Koko Camden

Amazing experience. Visited for the opening weekend (Sunday) for brunch and really really enjoyed it. Food was lovely, especially dessert, which was an absolute treat. There was living Brazilian music being played which just added to an already lovely ambience. Not sure if they have live music on every weekend, but worth a visit if they do. Also looks like a great spot for preconcert drinks.

A beautifully designed restaurant and bar at the top end of Camden, a stones throw away from Mornington Crescent station or short walk from Euston. It’s placed down the side of Koko’s and probably unnoticed by many due to its unassuming entrance. The outside menu displayed mostly pizzas and came across as very Soho House-ish (ie simple, not too fancy but with good produce). Stepping inside was also very Soho House-y. Great artwork, a mesh of beautiful wood, velvet and marble materials inviting you in to have a comfortable, but stylish time. The menu outside was different to the one offered. This new menu, as we found out shortly after, had been live for a couple of days and offered more than just pizza. I opted for some cured meats and bruschetta which was topped with ricotta. It was fresh and delightful. My partner had a simple margerita style pizza which he enjoyed. We shared some cured meats which weren’t explained to us when delivered but mortadella and bresaola were two out of the three. The third was sliced a milimetre too thick but delicious none the same. It lost a star for the lack of ambience which was not there doing. This stunning spot may pick up on gig nights and weekends but felt a little dead when we went in. The service was good bar a little event of having water spilt everywhere by the waitress but not a big deal - accidents happen! It was more her nonchalance and approach to other tables which I felt could have done with more of a caring touch. Just a personal observation and she was friendly and polite enough with us. The management and bar team were equally as attentive and friendly. We finished on a Bloody Mary which was extremely acidic and watery. It could have done with more body from a thicker tomato juice which would have been much better. Will definitely return if in that part of town.

I booked into Cafe Koko for bottomless brunch with my friend and my goodness, we were not disappointed. From the minute we walked in the door we had friendly staff members making us feel welcome, taking our orders swiftly and happy to help. Not once did we have to call over a member of staff, they were always circulating and topping us up and the atmosphere was perfection. The music was brilliant and it wasn't overwhelming, which meant that we could still have conversations. Genuinely so happy to have found this absolute gem and we'll certainly be coming back at a later date. Thank you Cafe Koko!

Went for bottomless brunch. Shaima gave us an amazing welcome - made us feel at home straight away. We were then served by a great bloke called Kevin. It’s been a long long time since I’ve been to a bottomless brunch where the staff were attentive and were on hand to top up your glass when you were running low - true meaning of a bottomless brunch, with great food and fantastic service!

I went to Cafe Koko for their bottomless brunch to celebrate my birthday this past Saturday and I confidently say it’s been one of my best brunch experiences in London. All the food was amazing and the chef even gave us a little tester of the salt beef (highly recommended, as well as the pepperoni pizza, the roasted potatoes which came with this gorgeous spicy Mayo and also the mixed leaf salad we don’t know what was in that dressing but it was amazing!) when we were stuck on what to order. We chose to go with the mimosas (but I was told you could switch if you wanted to) and they were really smooth really yummy and the perfect ratio. More importantly I want to say a big thank you to Nicole, Ashwin & Elizabeth who looked after us. They made the whole experience so enjoyable, they assisted with any questions we had and made sure our cups were never empty. So kind & so patient with us considering there was about 6 of us Absolutely loved it and special shout out to the dJ & whoever was on aux afterwards playing all the music the girls wanted to hear 💕💕 10/10 would deffo recommend
