Bluebelles of Portobello in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Called in on the off chance for coffee and breakfast, lovely food, pricey but this is London, service okay, it was a busy time.

I love this cafe, the soup is just the best and vegan. 💞 My hubby loves the fish finger sandwich or eggs royale...The staff are all so lovely, attentive and just really good at their jobs 💞 Highly recommend this gem of a cafe and the rainbow 🌈 cake and coffee...Oh and did I mention...dog friendly 🦮💞

This cafe is located on the sunny side of Portobello Road and has a large outside seating area. This is its only advantage. The food is billed as "home-made" and is priced accordingly, but a large part of it is from the supermarket. The service is absolutely atrocious. Staff has no sense of a customer, treating you as if you've interrupted their day and not bothering to hide their irritation. This cafe hires whoever they can get and gives them no training. But they still charge a 12.5% service fee. Avoid.

It's OK, a busy local often with the horse racing on felt a little bit of a click at first though after a few times in sound pub. Decent music, staff will chat after they get to know you.

We had an excellent breakfast - the Shakshuka was the best I've had in years and the staff were super-friendly. Would highly recommend.

Very lovely omelettes and great coffee. Very nice staff and atmospheric space. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth a visit.

Had a brilliant time watching the England v Scotland Rugby game, I was the only English guy in that day ,full of great people and good beer ,definitely going to call in again.

Great pub with a brilliant atmosphere had a great time

I was very disappointed as the service was very slow and I was absolutely appalled at the ridiculous price . A pot of tea and a jam dodger cost me £9.50 .i think this is absolutely exorbitant and it can in no way be justified!

Always very welcoming staff and delicious food , I’ve been here numerous times , it’s genuinely consistent in its quality. The coffee is excellent also , my favourite is a flat white! Today Eggs Benedict was fab today,

The service was exceptionally good and the food was stunning I highly recommend this place if want good food for I fare price

Had the best time that weekend very friendly staff and Tracey the manager entertainment very very good fantastic singer’s everything was excellent

My friends brought me there and the owner was asking my friends to bring other younger people there. We are all over 30. She was wasted drunk. A breach of her licence. I don't drink. I walked in and she instantly demanded I leave as I don't have identification on me. I have reported her to the licencing board for being drunk at work.

Very friendly staff and quite cheap

Social club Scottish heritage love it. A bar that remember me home.

2 times I had a very unpleasant experience with the staff when once they refused to serve coffees outside and second time smoking in front of the coffee shop did not serve at all. Very disappointing.

Fantastic lunch with friends sat out the front. The food is really great with ideal sized portions, not too big but not too small. Great variety of tasty options for brunch/lunch. Atmosphere is nicer on the street in our opinion.

Very good brunch, great atmosphere and pleasant and very helpful staff. Also good price compared to others. if we come back to London we will stay here again.

Food is nice but the let down was the service. Waited 30 mins for a small dish. Waiters unhelpful when queried how long it would be. Wouldnt come here again based on this experience.

Working locally, I popped in early one morning to buy a takeaway sandwich for lunch. As a vegetarian, a cheese and mushroom sandwich was suggested. It is my own fault that I wasn’t wearing glasses and could not see the menu properly. Had I realised it would cost £9.70 I would have declined. Yes, it was a sourdough bread sandwich and I know how much work goes into baking a loaf. But this still feels extreme for a takeaway.. Sadly, I doubt I’ll return.

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. I work close by to Bluebelles so visited every day on my lunch break for about 2 weeks. I have so many good things to say about this place. I almost never write reviews but these guys deserve every letter of this one. In order of outstandingness - firstly the service is impeccable. God it’s so refreshing. Every person who works there actually seems like they want to be there, and every smile feels genuine. Rare. Very rare. I was always made to feel welcome and valued and it brightened up my days at work so much. Next - the cakes are DIVINE. REALLY. The carrot cake is probably the best I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried loads, trust me). Anddddd the chocolate and cherry cake comes a very close second. The rainbow toast is cheerful, fun and really nicely presented. I’ve been mixing things up lately and trying new places butttt the cakes and service absolutely do not match up. So I’ll be back in Bluebelles again soon!

The vibe is great! The music is awesome! The staff are very friendly, and have impressive memories considering our waiter didn’t write anything down and everything came back perfectly including all our add ons! Yummy food! The BEST drinks! The lattes here are so fluffy it’s unbelievable! The Ooh La La lived up and exceeded expectation!

We celebrated my friend’s birthday brunch here and it was the best! Great food, kind staff. So lovely

Superb coffee and breakfast, great service also. Really enjoyed the bangers bap, and the green breakfast was really tasty, will definitely frequent this place!

Just had a beautiful birthday brunch with friends. The food was great and the service from Edoardo was second to none lovely guy who made us feel so welcome!

Great place. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Go there most weeks. Love the place. Went there in the 1960's when it was the Grapes. Magic!!!!!

In for a quick drink with an awesome friend

Thank Gosh, for there being a really great Old fashioned Bar in Portobello, Really..."Folks, it is the Only original Old fashioned Bar Left in Porty Now....Fact 👍👍👍

A dying breed. A real community bar with local people who go to read the paper, watch the sport, chat to friends and enjoy a reasonably priced pint. Hard not to like.

Very friendly place to visit. I work night shifts occasionally and it opens at 7am to cater for night workers. Fantastic place to pop in for a pint after work on your way home.

Really like the Porty Bar.Local Bar where everybody know's everybody.

Very nice will have come for a holiday

Great Wee local pub.Excellent Juke Box.Eveybody made welcome by staff and locals

Cheap Beers , but most Important thing is that they open early, even before shops ! Pint on the morning hangover? That's the Wright Place!👌🏻🤙🏻

had a great night in this fine little established pub after a short blast we all spent 70 pounds behind the bar

Friendly staff, nice locals , reasonably priced drinks and a decent pint of Guinness.

I loved it there nice drink after work

Just a nice pub and has band at weekends
