Beam in City of London, Westminster

Amazing recommendation from our hostel. The food was super delicious and filling. The vibes here are great

Lovely vibe and delicious food. Perfect service too.

Super well served, excellent service and pleasant atmosphere

Great food with an excellent customer service.

Nice one! Flavourful, good quality ingredients and nice atmosphere

Friendly staff, great food . Totally recommended

Great vibe. Great food. Can’t go wrong

The Beam Benedict didn’t quite live up to the hype / to the mushroom flatbread I started with, but overall the food was great, the service lovely and even the short wait was made really pleasant in a very comfy waiting area

Service was excellent and the food as well.

Excellent ! Wide choice, perfect cooking and generous quantity.

Very cute brunch place! So many vegan/vegetarian options. The shakshuka was everything I hoped it would be: tasty with a slight heat and spices, purely delicious! The interior is nicely decorated, and the service was quick. If you're in the area, I'd recommend you stop by!

What a lovely place clean pleasant lovely vibe food great and coffee and really good staff and I must say I loved the cool jazz vibe made really relaxing

A ten out of ten. I’m very picky when it comes to a brunch location, and let me tell you… the food, coffee, decor and atmosphere is perfect. Reasonable prices for exceptional food too!

Great menu, full of healthy, fresh options. Everyone was happy. Delicious vegan banana bread!

Delicious food. One of the best coffees around. Friendly and quick waitstaff. Very cool artwork.

Monday morning brunch at Beam is becoming one of my favourite things to do to start a new week, the mushroom flatbread is so tasty , and excellent cappuccino

Good selection of sweet and savoury dishes. My go to is the vegetarian breakfast (they also substitute ingredients for something else). Service has always been friendly. They do not take bookings, no queuing during the week, can be busy on the weekend but there is always a spot.

Fantastic place to visit for coffee and breakfast, very cosy and the service is excellent. I would highly recommend 👌🏻

The food is excellent although a bit pricey. The room gets a bit loud on the weekends at brunch time.

Delicious shakshuka 🙌🏻 You can find English breakfast. It is a spacious open area inside. The employees are very kind.

Staff were super friendly, atmosphere was very aesthetic and very relaxing music. The food was delicious and drinks too. Perfect portion sizes too.

Very good experience with a very beautiful place and a great meal, only small downside on the high prices

Most excellent breakfasts on lazy Sunday morning

Best breakfast in Notting Hill. Prices reflect the high quality ingredients and great customer service.

Very good food and generous portions !!

3.50£ for a 300ml still water???

very rich! It was our first meal when we just arrived in London. We were looking for a brunch and it worked. a little on the expensive side but completely worth it

Trendy and lovely athmosphere. The French toast was amazing with caramelized banana on it. The fresh mint was a nice addition to the water. Lovely experience!

Want to give a special shout out to the male waiter with long hair (i am sorry i did get your name). I was with my toddler and he made us feel welcomed and was so playful with her, it is so rare to feel welcomed with a child in London restaurants! This person has an amazing soul, keep him at all costs! As to the restaurant, the food and atmosphere was great, will come back to try brunch as well!

Have been there twice. TBH the food is very mediocre. Wondering why they got such a high rate. Many other brunch places on the same street do way better brunch but has lower reviews. Interesting.

Food was bland and boring. Lack of seasoning and tons of shortcuts on the plate, clearly directed at high turnover efficiency as opposed to making an actual decision meal. Way better options in the area, surprised Beam continues to dominate with less than average food. Go to Sociale Cafe or even Tab/Tab

Favourite brunch spot in Nottinghill the best full English ever. Incredible staff, lovely atmosphere. 10/10

One of the best breakfast at nothing hill area, thanks for everything team 😍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The food was great, the staff are friendly, loved the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This is the best alternative eggs benedict (Beam benedict) I have ever had. The coffee was also really good, but the main star is definitely their amazing food. Staff is super friendly and the food came so quickly (I reckon not even 10 min after we ordered! And they were full capacity!). The place is very sophisticated, high ceilings and clear colours, which gives a very “elegant and clean” vibes. (Ps: my only objection was that I would have preferred my coffee in a mug, because it was hot and it difficult to was hold the hot glass). Overall, highly recommended! 10/10!

Very nice place. The service was fast and amazing

Superlative English breakfast! The food is excellent, prepared with fresh ingredients and served in generous portions. The staff are very friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The prices are fair for the quality they offer. Only note: I recommend arriving a little early because to queue you need to use the QR code that is present outside the venue, so as not to have to wait too long. But it's absolutely worth it!

A delicious English Breakfast and great service

Certainly one of the best for everything!

The best breakfast I have ever had in London it’s just wow 🤩

Yum! The portion size is pretty big

Best brunch in Notting Hill. Coffee could he better. TIP: the full English breakfast portion is huge! So sharing wouldn’t be a bad idea if you wanna try something else as well from the menu 😌

Super fresh and delicious. Very nice atmosphere, nice staff

This is definitely a good spot for brunch, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The food was tasty, but not outstanding. It also arrived very quickly—almost too quickly—which made it feel like much of it was pre-prepared rather than freshly made to order. Even some of the things on the plate were a bit cold. The atmosphere wasn’t particularly cozy, and the overall vibe leaned more toward efficiency than relaxation. The staff was friendly, but there were so many of them that it reinforced the feeling of a high-turnover, in-and-out dining experience. While this is good, it’s not the best choice if you’re looking for a leisurely, laid-back brunch.

Great breakfast and very good coffee! The atmosphere is so peaceful and cool you’ll want to stay here longer

Very creative menu and the mushroom flatbread was amazing

I think it's too expensive for what it is, but hey, these are the prices in the area.

We have been coming to this place for about 2 years with pleasure, but unfortunately there is a problem with the management and table setting service. After waiting for 45 minutes after getting the QR code, there were 6 empty tables of 4 in the back and 5 empty tables of 2 in the front rows, but the management insisted that we have 15 minutes, we are waiting for those who will come, we cannot let them in.

I don’t have any notes - staff were very friendly and helpful, accommodating to my complex dietary requirements. The food was very flavourful and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Delicious food. Portion size is more than generous given what you pay for.

Very nice place, the menu offers a large choice to make a quality breakfast or brunch. I chose a full English breakfast: delicious! And the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this place. A French tourist.

Lovely place. Good food, coffee and nice staff.

Excellent food, great service, everything was very quick without being rushed.

great : the food is nice even though it's on the pricey side + added tip in the end. The staff is polite. Be aware that will have to queue and wait in front of the restaurant (went there during the weekend).

Good selection of dishes, with a mix of classics and alternative proposals! Must try

Place was packed on a saturday morning. French toast was amazing. Scrambled egg was the best egg ive had in my life

Good food but extremely packed and noisy. The seating is extremely close together and the room is very large, making it crowded and overwhelming. I would suggest reducing the number of tables to make it a more pleasant dining experience. Also not many vegetarian options, surprisingly.

All excellent, a little excessive with the prices but espresso coffee like in Italy, congratulations

Beam Café in London is a fantastic spot for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike. Their coffee is exceptional—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, making it one of the best in the city. The vegan mushroom bread is a standout, packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. The combination of fresh ingredients and thoughtful seasoning makes it a must-try. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make the experience even better. Whether you’re there for a quick coffee or a leisurely meal, Beam Café never disappoints. Highly recommended!

The food was delish and service was lovely!

Fantastic food and amazing service. Thank you!

Very nice place for all day breakfast, food is great, service is good and the ambience is cosy for a brunch with friends.

Coffee is amazing and food is fresh and simple which I love!

My friend and I visited “Beam” yesterday. We had to wait exactly one hour in line for a table. After finally getting seated, we took out time to order /eat and talk obviously. 1 hour and 18 minutes later waiter interrupted our conversation —only to tell that we have two minutes to leave because it’s their policy and we sitting to long. No prior warning, nothing. He interrupted our conversation while my friend was still drinking her coffee. A manager then came over, trying to justify this policy, explaining that if we stay longer than an hour and, as it turns out, 20!!!!!! minutes, and shocking, she said “ THIS TABLE IS NO LONGER MAKING MONEY” can you imagine? For this place you just a WALLET. Yes, that was the actual reason given. People sitting nearby were shocked—some even turned to me and said: “Stand up for yourself, girl”. The worst part? When I went to the restroom (which, by the way, was incredibly dirty), I noticed that a whole section of the restaurant was completely empty. Administration can check cameras. The food was genuinely good, but it is not worth waiting in line for an HOUR only to be kicked out because your table is no longer profitable for them afterwards you ate your lunch and drink your coffee. I just hope the management takes this into account. This experience completely ruined our mood, and I never expected this from this place.

The Benedict here is always worth the wait!

The Beam Benedict was really nice unique, something I definitely hadn’t had before

Absolutely amazing, The service was amazing all the waiters were very attentive

Everything is rubbish, food is awful 👎🏼

Contemporary venue, in an urban and refined style. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and the proposal for brunch or a quick lunch is interesting. Recommended especially for the beauty of the place

First of all, I have to say that this store is visually very beautifully designed. Everything here has been thought through down to the smallest detail. The food was very fresh and well made. We were served by friendly ladies and felt very comfortable. Come by - try it!

Always full and vibrant. Coffee was delicious and the Turkish egg are to die for.

Mediterranean breakfast lovely! Great atmosphere and service too!

The food was really great. Worth the wait! The waiter Frank was very helpful and optimistic and very hospitable ☺️

Excellent, we had a great time, two full English breakfasts

It’s usually very busy every time I pass by. I finally checked it out, and the food is tasty! The highlight for me was the carrot juice—perfectly served at just the right temperature, not too cold or freezing. I really enjoyed it the juice 🥕

Great brunch spot, effective queueing system

Amazing experience. Beautiful food, very quick and efficient service and great coffee. Not overrated or overhyped at all. Well done!

really good amount of food, tastes great!!

Amazing food and friendly staff! We loved it!!

Great place! Taste was excellent and the service too!

Carrot cake was the best. And the staff are nice

The cuisine is excellent and healthy. The atmosphere and decoration is very nice. The waitresses and waiters are very warm and attentive. Only the bacon and pork sausages are not Halal, the rest of the menu is Halal.

Amazing food and amazing staff! Love it!

Pricey but good quality makes it great and filling, it does get extremely busy and long wait times but at the end of the day it’s just breakfast/ brunch. And to be honest the plates can be unnecessarily large.

Excellent breakfast (Beam Benedict), friendly servers, and warm vibes. Great decor, food, and location!

The place is quite busy and packed with tables, you can hardly move without disturbing someone’s conversation or focus…The food tastes really bland and the presentation is just offensive to me!!!

Taste was good. Sadly not a lot for the price and felt like a bad deal. Food was served quick and hot. All in all for the price it feels a bit like a ripoff. Not bad, not great. Certainly an option for brunch or breakfast

Great service, good breakfast :)!

Impeccable, from food to staff !!!

very nice, beautiful atmosphere

Great food and very fast and vibrant place.

Great service and quality ingredients

The food tastes great! We had the beam Benedict, the mediterranean breakfast and the mushroom flatbread, flavours were on point. Food came fast and service was great. Love the queueing and billing system

The hostess was not very helpful and the queue system was confusing. Other than that had a lovely time! Love the GF option

Been here the fourth time, always legendary;)

The food is always so good here and the staff are so lovely. I recommend the Mediterranean breakfast and save one slice of your toast for the Jam at the end! 😁

The restaurant is very very delicious The order was shakshuka and it came with sourdough bread, 10/10 French toast (regular), the most delicious French toast you will ever taste, 10/10 Hash brown 9/10 English tea The restaurant opens at 8 in the morning and the service is excellent I came to them more than once

Full English Breakfast never disappoints. Nice place to relax afterwards as well.

Excellent food, minimal but chic decor, wonderful location! We joined the virtual QR queue for a party of 5, and although the recommended wait time was 35 minutes, we waited nearly 15 - 20! My sisters first time trying Turkish Eggs and she loved it!!

Amazing food, amazing staff, definetly coming again!
