Expensive and confusing

Love this place so tranquil and serene especially in the courtyard. Hard to believe you are in the middle of

The place is spectacular, but it is a pity that waiters collecting plates and cutlery make A LOT of noise when clearing tables. The hall is tiled up to the roof, so there is plenty of echo, which makes it noisier. On our request, manager asked a waiter to make less noise a couple of times, while the pianist was playing. Waiter did not care.

The chicken pie is very delicious and the place is beautiful

Very busy, we took quite a while to find a table, gracefully shared with another visitor,

I decided to try the V&A Cafe after reading good things online. Honestly, I was expecting better than what I experienced. It may have just been what I ordered, but my food was very underwhelming on the verge of terrible. It was also very expensive for such poor quality.The atmosphere was chaotic and noisy, where you’ll likely encounter the poor behaviour of those disrupting the meals of others while hosting Instagram shoots or group tours in the beautiful space. It’s kind of ridiculous. You’ll be trying to enjoy your meal and suddenly a crowd of people will be right up against your back trying to take selfies.It’s unfortunate there aren’t that many other dining options available in the museum. As I would recommend going elsewhere.

Pretty cafe but feels more like a noisy cafeteria. Food also looked like what you might get at a cafeteria. Expensive, bland coffee, dry scones. Not worth it

No need to expect coffee or food, just enjoy this moment of rest in the palace.

What a find! A buffet of salads, soup, quiche, sandwiches and pastries. And with that, have lunch in one of the beautiful halls of the V&A.

Very decent place for an afternoon tea and scones.Self service but the vibe is amazing.Recommended to spend some time here after your museum visit.

We went around lunchtime and it was crowded with people!You order at the register, get a drink and bread right away, and settle down, but it was okay, probably because I wasn't expecting the taste of the scone! The ceiling and lighting are so beautiful?

Great venue, fabulous decor. Good range of food options though expensive. Service bit chaotic, separate queues for food and drink

What an opulent coffee shop. You really feel that you are in a Palace. The cakes and cinnamon twirl well down very well with hot chocolate and excellent quality tea. Highly recommend it.
