Nice fresh tea and decent coffee. We paid £8.50 for a pot of tea and a large latte. Nice atmosphere. A good place to sit and read and relax.

At £4.25 for a Cappuccino you'd expect it to be good, it was not the coffee itself not great, way too much froth about half the cup, so barely a drink and no the chocolate was just dumped in a heap not sprinkled. I'd recommend the cafe at the national portrait gallery just down the road much much better and cheaper

First time here and will never return. Service is terrible and staff are super stressed. Ordered a toasted ham and cheese sandwich---when it came out the cheese was still not melted and it was cold. I ate it anyway because I was so tired. Partner had a sandwich as well and similiar experience. We had guiness cake and it was absolutely disgusting and we ended up leaving half of it. Huge amount of laptops and hard to find a table. Very stressed out unpleasant environment. Both of us felt very sick afterwards. We do a lot of cafe stops and this was THE WORST we've ever had. AVOID! Its a shame because the bookshop doesn't match up with the cafe!

5 stars all the way, everything in this place calls to you. Although you get 2 hrs to sit during rush times they dont rush you out. Warm, and friendly. All good and beverage fresh on the menu, cakes a must have and scones.

This is one of my must go to bookshops in London but it is let down dreadfully by it's cafe. Not best attitude from staff, faces like Lurgan spades (Google that if you you don't have a clue) and attitudes to match. However its difficult to pick your way through the loads of people who seem to have rented office space here - I'm surrounded by a sea of craning necks staring pitifully at laptops screens whilst I in turn stare dejectedly at the overgrown weed riddled wilderness of despair outside the window that at one stage may have been an attractive piece of rooftop greenery. At least it helps to distract me from the crap coming out of the speaker which only bears a passing resemblance to ambient music. Is this a case of a bookshop thinking they can open a coffee shop and it will be easy? I love the bookshop, I detest the cafe. Avoid Avoid Avoid. I wonder if the Waterstones cafe is any better?

Love the cafe at my favourite bookshop. Pricey but nice. If you're going to spend ages taking up space and sitting here with a laptop mind, at least have the courtesy to buy a book, coffee and some food ;)
Lovely café, peaceful atmosphere and great variety of food and drinks available.

Great place to hang out with friends and chat, or work. Could get quite noisy but mostly due to people conversing. Food is pricey, their scones look decent though.
The berry homemade cordial I got tasted alright, nothing surprising. Came in a cute mug.

Just been to Foyles, huge bluebottles wandering all over the scones and jam. Asked if there were any without the flies and was told no, just what was out. Yuk. Hot chocolate was not nice either. Never had an issue before.

Quite a nice large central café with a pleasant atmosphere - it tends to get busy though and is sometimes difficult to find seating. The cakes and sandwiches are usually very tasty, though the one on the photo (Rocky road) was just a bit too much of everything and too little cake batter. The iced mocca was too watery for my liking due to the many ice cubes added, but I think that's a me issue.

Lovely large modern open cafe on top floor of Foyles bookshop. Really lovely looking cakes and the lunch menu looked good as well. Busy at lunch time
