A perfect place to have a coffee and dessert. Staff is so friendly and helpful.

Lovely place with large booths, but food options are very limited for example no savouries available first thing on a Sunday.No alternative milk options plus the chocolate cake was dry!Toilet facilities needed better airing and cleaning.Overall disappointing when comparing to a visit a few months back.

The only thing this place has going for it is the decor that is likely to impress the social media crowd.The music playing was loud, crude and all of the same American pop "Weeknd" style. This is not appropriate for families.The staff are inattentive and spent most of the time talking to one another, we were served the wrong food.The chocolate cake was awfully dry, stale even.The teapot was filthy, it was insulting to be served with that. Even if that's all that was available, a good waiter would have noticed and had it cleaned before use.The tea was very bitter. Cheap, short leaves were used with lots of dusty bits at the bottom.The chairs are unwieldingly large.Some influencers have tauted this as a good study/work spot. I can say that due to the lack of tables with outlets (outlets are next to smaller tables, the outlets are positioned at a height where the chair may cause damage to your charger.)There is a single washroom, it is accessible.

It’s a nice place to study in, quite. The way the furniture is placed makes it feel cozy comfortable and inviting. The pastry I have purchased wasn’t fresh, but it was delicious.

The pastries here are the thing to get. I normally opt for the pistachio éclair, but I decided to switch it up with a Paris Brest. Very small, but it tasted divine.Macchiato, on the other hand, was not so great. Might've come on an off day when the beans might've been overly roasted or the machine wasn't dialled in properly, but the espresso tasted overly bitter with not much else going on. Milk was overly steamed resulting in a scorched taste.Not always like this though, the coffees are normally good - do take my above comments with a pinch of salt.

Hidden coffee shop between the busy Soho streets offering a nice ambiance with cold and hot drinks to choose from. Plenty of seating area with an elegant decoration.

Pastry is both beautiful and delicious. Yes, it might be a bit pricey, but c'mon, you don't indulge yourself with things like this everyday. Interior is well-crafted - minimalist, pastel colors, cozy corners. Service comes with a great smile.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for wheelchair users at the entry and to the back guestroom, restroom optimized for wheelchair users

Probably the first Saudi based cafe in London. Originally Bafarat’s journey started from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I can’t believe it’s in London. So happy for this franchise to come across this part of the continent.Anyways I’ll cut to the chase, so my friend and I both had the Pistachio Eclair alongside with the Cappuccino and Caffe Macchiato. It was mouthwatering once I took the first morsel bite of the eclair. Unbelievable delicious taste. Amazing. I’ll still give you a 5 star review, even though they ran out of Arabian coffee (Qahwa Arabiya) by afternoon since they sell like hot cakes from morning - they’re imported from Saudi.I actually came here for that reason, where else do you find Arabian coffee served in a gold/bronze plated dallah pot in London? Nowhere but Bafarat! Will definitely come here again and get my hands on the Qahwa. Wonderful customer service by the way.Update May 2023: Finally I got my Qahwa Arabiya, it was very delightful taste. But I loved it. I think it was mixed with a bit more water than the coffee but somehow it was very pleasant taste.

We were there to get a filter coffee but the cashier told us the beans was unavailableThe flat white was not bad.
Took some home as post iftari dessert and what a delight each one was. Not too rich, and delicately flavoured, each bite was a joy. The staff serving were also friendly and all are halal (fish gelatine is used) I’m told. Will definitely be back for the afternoon tea. Transported well across the city.

One of the best pastries & coffee joints in Soho, London. Super friendly staff. Must try their Vanilla Flan ?

I made a booking for their afternoon tea which they take payment for at time of booking (understandable) happily paid. I can no longer make it so have been calling, emailing, reaching out on social media for the past 2 weeks with no response from them. The phone number goes straight to voicemail. I am at an odds as to what to do apart from take it up with the bank. (The booking is for the 7th of April 2023)

Beautiful cafe, just off Glasshouse Street. Very sleek interior and comfortable seating.The patisserie is to DIE for... the Paris Brest was intensely flavourful, with a perfect contrast of silky creme and toasty choux.Will be visiting this spot again.
