Bluebelles of Portobello in Barnet

Wonderful food, drink and price. The atmosphere was delightful and the customer service great. I highly recommend 👍🏼

We queued to get in and when we got to our table, we were told our little dog could not sit on my lap. We had an outside table. The floor was disgusting, they hadn’t bothered to clean it, yet insisted my dog sit on the dirty floor. It was so dirty I couldn’t even put my blanket it on it. We left. walked over the road to Cacciari’s (x20 more elegant) and they were happy for him to sit on their velvet sofa!

Michele C Best place for breakfast, lunch or brunch in Mill Hill. 💞 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 💞 Date of visit: May 2024

Rudest waitress ever ! Not given a menu when we came in . She was too busy on her mobile phone . The next thing I noticed was that she sat herself down to have breakfast and then were given the bill and had to pay service ! A pity the restaurant is ruined by cold and rude staff

My wife and I came for brunch during the week. The setup is great and retro, the staff kind and lovely, and the food - just made to perfection! Don’t even get me started on the incredible selection of pastries and cakes - could keep me happy for a week! It’s all anyone could ask for, a great brunch place, with great atmosphere, at a reasonable cost.

Just popped in to Bluebelles for the first time and was very impressed. Service was quick and very friendly and their produce is excellent and reasonable. Mill Hill is a competitive area for this trade and I think these guys have got it right.

Great service, lovely food and staff fantastic. We will definitely return here in the future with family and friends, very nice people.

Lovely restaurant, delicious food and great costumer service! Would highly recommend for everyone family and friends

Always love coming to Bluebelles, have been coming for years and it’s always enjoyable! Good variety of food too and tasty

Very nice, great service,friendly staff, good food! Love the coffee and the pancakes. Would recommend it to anyone!

Service from the waitress was poor. We were sat at the table for more than 5 mins waiting for a menu. We had to ask for a menu. There wasn't much customers around. Food as always delicious. Shame about the service.

Went in as we believed it would be a nice easy visit although we were thoroughly disappointed. Our “coffee crunch” milkshake was just milkey cold coffee (no crunch) and nothing you couldn’t make at home for even cheaper than £6.50. Then came the “berry smoothie” which although the colour would deceive you into thinking it was full of seasonal berries the drink just tasted like bananas and coconut milk (as it was probably the main ingredient unfortunately). Again, it was nothing that different and you could definitely make it at home with any generic Aldi blender. Would not recommend paying the extortionate prices for mediocre at best food!!

Strongly recommend this lovely spot for brunch / lunch. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier, the service was quick, and the food was delicious!

Pretty poor and over priced. Weak tasteless coffee and expensive sandwich. Really disappointed. Sat outside on the most uncomfortable bench. Lots of competition in Mill Hill so would not go back

The place looks so groovy and they have lots of options especially for vegans!!! I was served by a very friendly young girl who is also vegan and recommend the pancakes and they were so so good!! All the other staff were so lovely too! Such a lovely environment (the coffee was superb too!!) I recommend a lot :)

I have just visited the most amazing brunch cafe at bluebells in Mill Hill last weekend and honestly the experience was perfect! The waitress on Sunday was soooo sweet and went above and beyond in my experience by providing me with an extra large banana cake which is to die for! The food came so quick, hot and tasty and the price was super affordable. Honestly one of the best brunches I have been to and highly recommend the cafe!

Had the most amazing breakfast this morning. I wasn’t sure what to have and was recommended to eat the sausage bap, it was delicious. My girlfriend, who is quite a fussy eater, got the green breakfast and said it is her new favourite breakfast place. Corina and her team were fantastic, so friendly, always smiling and went above and beyond for us .We will certainly be back! 12/10

Really lovely place to come for a relaxed breakfast with friends at a weekend. Very accommodating for allergies, I had the bangers bap on gluten free bread and it was delicious. Really nice take on something that can usually be quite a plain breakfast. I also had some tea and one of the smoothies, both were gorgeous. Knocked off one star for slow service, but I was busy chatting with my friends so didn’t really notice. Will definitely be back!

It is not only the food that gives to this establishment my full five marks, I t ‘s the concept, the overall family feel, the decor and service, the patrons that fill this place week in and week out. Wi fi, my ear plugs that diffuse Amy Winehouse on a Sunday lunch , that virgin Bloody Mary that I cannot get and my Eggs Royale, maybe outside is raining but I am finally happy : this is Blubelles of Portobello, my , our kind of place !

I went for brunch, unfortunately I have a few allergies and usually I find it hard to be satisfied. The lady was serving me was nice and accommodating and she gave me the chance to make my brunch box ‘personalised’. It was delicious and I...

Went here for Sunday brunch for the first time .I knew it was not going to be a good experience when I managed to park out side the restaurant. The service was very slow and the wooden seats are very uncomfortable we got our own...

I have had many Vegan Breakfasts , most lack flavour and imagination HOWEVER I was blown away by the standard of the Vegan Breakfast here. Every mouthful was full of flavour and was so well presented. The staff are super friendly too nothing was too...

I have been there more than once recently. Lovely place with great coffee and really high quality food! The staffi is nice and polite. Probably my favourite place in this area!

One hour for scrambled eggs on toast. The manageress mad no apology, saying we are very busy and there a a lot of customers in front of you! The food was OK.

tasty food, very good service (brought extra plates and cutlery when needed), will definitely visit again! :)

My boyfriend and i go every weekend to Mill Hill for breakfast or lunch, the food is excellent and the staff are polite and helpful. I recommend the coffee and the smoothie are the best in town

Located on Mill Hill Broadway, where there are loads of cafes, Bluebelles is by far the best one. It’s a lovely setting with free wifi & a great menu (scrambled eggs are 👌🏼) but it’s the people that work there that make the place. Maria...

Great food and staff, very friendly Will definitely be back for brunch again Corina was lovely and helpful in picking something

I started visiting during lockdown to get a takeaway coffee, and have been visiting ever since. Coffee is consistently great, staff are always friendly (even at their busiest!). Would highly recommend.

Went for coffees and pastry. Surprised to find service charge added. Pastry excellent but coffee not special. Cavernous place and not cosy.

Food is good but you don't get very much. I ordered a potato with cheese and onion and that is all I got. Little cheese and onions but nothing else! No garnish or salad.

This is a very nice cafe with great staff & good food & drinks. The service is also excellent. Unfortunately I have to give it a poor review because they allow dogs into the dining area & even next to the open kitchen. Really put...

We went to BlueBells in Mill Hill today, and I would say the experience was okay. The staff member took our order, then two of our coffees came, but the third drink took quite a bit of time, but it wasn’t that long so that...

I'm not one for writing reviews. But, I am still tasting my sumptuous sausage bap from the "new menu", They have taken a British classic and made it even better. Looking forward to more menu surprises.

Perfect Sunday brunch, great coffee and food. Try the veggie box! Smoothies good too. Great staff and all covid secure and safe and clean.

Called to find out if we could make a booking and if they offer any outside seating (given the current circumstances we felt this was fair enough). Was told “no” (no explanation, no “we do walks in”, nothing) and they put the phone down while we were still speaking! You’d think they would want business but if they speak to their potential customers like that before they have even stepped foot in the restaurant then why would we want to go there?

Gosh, Mr Grumpy is astonished and you have made him even grumpier. Let’s start with the WC facilities, akin to the worst motorway toilets. Filthy and offensive. Used toilet paper left on the floor, waste bin overflowing also on to the floor, offensive odor. Slippery and wet. NO WONDER NO SCORES ON THE DOOR. Clearly not been cleaned for at least 48 hours, but not let’s dwell and move on. The lunch order. Let’s go for the GOURMET Sandwich selection and much to my regret chose the toasted Ciabatta ham and gruyere cheese. The only advice I can give is for the person who prepared it, GO TO SPECSAVERS. Guess what, no cheese. Except however and majorly worryingly around the edges. This tells me that the toaster has not been cleaned allowing food residue from who knows when to accumulate and contaminate orders. Again no wonder no scores on doors. Staff mildly apologetic but in reality couldn’t care less. If Environmental health should inspect, you would be in the doo doo, big time. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!Message to senior management. Pack your bags and exit Mill Hill before you poison this thriving community.

In need of breakfast in upmarket Mill Hill, there's not much choice in terms of a basic caff - but plenty of options if your tastes run to the hipster and the meat-free.At Bluebelles toast (it's artisan sourdough, obvs, and comes with condiment and butter) is at the lower end of the menu at £3.50, a bowl of porridge with fresh berries adds up to £8 and towards the top end there's eggs Royale with added guacamole topping £13 for the plate.There are some unusual options, to be sure - shakshuka peppers and baked eggs (£8.75) and intriguing takes on French toast, but first thing in the morning is rarely the time to go experimenting.The obvious choice was a bacon or sausage sarnie at £6.50 but the bangers breakfast tickled my curiosity - two poached eggs with sausages and caramelised onions on sourdough toast at £9.50.Good toast, solid bacon, eggs a little overdone and lacking yolky ooze, and the onions could have worked if they had been nicely caramelised but my portion was more of a warmed up red onion salad.Coffee and tea were both excellent, service was friendly and efficient, the decor is very dapper, and the loos are a sight to behold. It's a cunningly crafted concept with a commendable breadth of menu, but to an out of towner the prices kept whispering to me - though I couldn't help noticing that the junior menu was commendably cheap, though available only to those under six.

Nice little place for breakfast on the broadway. Definitely not commercial, very homey, healthy and all together a nice little atmosphere. Their selection of pastry is great and the coffee is very good.The menu, however, in my opinion could be better for brunch / breakfast. It's a little basic and I'm certain they can do better. Food was fresh, tasty and well presented so all in all not a bad place for a nice little breakfast / brunch

Met a friend for breakfast there. As someone else commented, in this kind of place the coffee needs to be really really good - it’s sort of the defining feature. Well, it isn’t. Mine was tepid and when I ordered a second one and asked for it to be extra hot, it was just nearly hot. My companion and I also waited ages and that’s not good either; the kind of people who order coffee first thing in the morning are also the kind of people that need it fast! Our food (hers porridge, mine granola) was ok actually, but took too long to arrive. And hers came quite a while after mine. Service was ok, not impolite but unsmiling. Listen up, Bluebelle guys; smiling actually is very important and makes a huge first impression on your customers. So, will I be rushing back? No; Mill Hill has plenty other places which are better and probably cheaper. Bluebelle, if you want to survive on the high street you need to sharpen things up quickly. And find yourself a proper barista.

Husband and I wanted to spend some quality time together so opted for Bluebelle in Mill Hill.He had breakfast of eggs, avocado on sourdough and I went for a vegan option, grilled mushrooms with seeds on sourdough and grilled tomatoes on the side. They were both just perfect, coffee was excellent too. I really didn't know that simple mushrooms on toast could taste that good!

While waiting for the annual service on the wheels, I fled up the road to mill hill broadway for a spot of retail therapy.This turn into buying a bottle of chilli sauce, a few dog bits and pieces, and a rather large packet of honey coated cashews from M and S, expensive but a treat.After that I slide into Bluebells glancing at the credit card only sign on the window.I had a spinach and Tuna salad and a coffee and bread.The salad was ok though it did put me in mind of a rustic camp out meal with the tin plate. It was a pleasant enough salad but the chef could goes easy on the mayonnaise, mayo in the tuna does not need another mayo dressing over the top of it.It’s pleasant if your stoping for that relaxed brunch or a coffee, though remember is a No CASH establishment.

Came here with my sister in law and daughter for an impromptu brunch. Delicious menu, and coffee! Would def recommend. Service is great too ❤️

This is my cafe of choice in Mill Hill as for me, its the best coffee in the area. Went with a fiend for lunch yesterday, yes the lunch/brunch/breakfast menu is a pretty good size and there are a couple specials but I would like to see something different on their pieces of shabby paper they use as menus.They also had a big note on the door to say they are now cashless, that's fine by me but they don't take American Express either so your options are pretty limited. I assume they want our custom so it would be nice to feel that they did.Their coffee is constantly excellent, an excellent reason to go back.

Really great healthy menu. Homemade tasty good. Great prices and atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Already can’t wait to go back

Enjoy meeting friends for a coffee at Bluebelles,never dissapointed. Lovely foods ,lovely pastries and amazing coffee!

Have only visited once and won’t be visiting again, the place was really noisy, service slow and hugely overpriced for what it was. The food was okay but the coffee wasn’t pleasant.

Allround a good experience, but they need to step up on the coffee. If good coffee in the morning is a must for you, this is not the go-to place... at the moment (sep 2018)

Portobello Road ..... Great food, BUT, the place is like a sauna .... way to hot. Please consider putting in an a/c system or at the very least have both front and back doors open permanently to allow a through draught.

My friend and I regularly go to Bluebelles for lunch they make the best soup and toast to go with it

The food here is absolutely mouth watering... myself and my wife have been a few times in the last month as the ‘green breakfast’ is our favorite. But today I decided to try the off menu ‘big brunch’... an absolute beast of a breakfast, everything I wanted in a breakfast with phenomenal taste. The coffee is Colombian quality and the staff are attentive when they need to be. I would strongly recommend trying the portobello pudding... it’s their equivalent of bread and butter pudding - all their pastries smothered into one... absolute beauty. See pics of food attached.

Went in to ask if Bluebelles had any scope to support a local community project in any way. The manager was so rude it was quite unbelievable, he told off a member of staff in front of me for giving out his name, then without any further interaction he ushered me out with a resounding NO - we don't do community! Such shame as a Mill Hill generally has a strong community minded spirit. It's a shame as I have enjoyed their coffee in the past but I won't be going there again.

Food and coffee good. Customer service needs upping a bit. Trying to catch the eye of the staff was nigh on impossible. They were busy - probably they dont like middleaged people - albeit with our sons of 22 and 16 with us.

I was recommended this cafe by my son as a great place for a vegetarian to work from. He was absolutely right. The minute I walked in, I was greeted and shown to a table, given a menu and asked what I’d like to drink.

my family and i love a cream tea . Here they bake them fresh soft light and just mouthwatering and they have clotted cream :) even the coffee is as i like smooth light . The guys that run are so helpful would highly recommend

Alecyss & the team were attentive & efficient despite it being so busy that people were queuing practically out the door! The veggie stack & mince pie were fresh & delicious.

I loved this casual cafe. It had a great vibe, staff were friendly, food freshly prepared and tasty and I would return quickly. Perfect place to have a coffee and read the Sunday papers or chat with friends.

Came here upon recommendation and boy was I disappointed.

Ive been to Bluebelles several times now and each visit has been perfect I felt compelled to write a review! Great coffee, interesting menu that's a bit different to other brunch menus like the potato rosti stacks with various toppings. Nice bread and cake selection always with a GF or vegan option. My go to place for breakfast I highly recommend. Wanna check out the Portobello branch sometime soon!! The owner Jonny is a darling as is rest of the smiley helpful front of house team - thanks for always making me feel welcome

We decided to treat ourselves to Breakfast and were not disappointed!.The staff were very welcoming and efficient. My food was very well presented and we really enjoyed the coffee. It was lovely to catch up with my friend and just relax and chat away .

We have visited Bluebelles for the second time, and been impressed ! Andrea looked after us and has got a great service. The green breakfast with scrambled egg was a reall good choice and the coffee was the best we have ever had! Lovely section of fresh juices! Quite impressive! Highly recommended! Nice spot on the Broadway, will be back soon!

Amigos que estaban visitando la colina trajo aquí para almorzar Mill. Realmente deseo que no tenía. El servicio era terrible. El caballero que fue nuestro camarero era grosero desde el principio. Cuando no entendía lo que uno de los niños de nuestro partido, le pidió de nuevo muy groseramente. Platos eran simplemente se deslizaba hacia la mesa y no se coloca con el apropiado diner. Cuando intentamos pedir más servilletas, ya que sólo nos dejó con uno, el que estaba caminando pasado barista reconoció nuestro "disculpe" pero entramos! Cuando hablamos con el gerente pidió disculpas, pero su excusa era que estaban ocupados. No se llena significa que pierde todas sus modales y ni siquiera una sonrisa! ! No volveremos sin duda no lo recomiendo.

Buena comida - Alexa (Director) muy eficiente. Todos disfrutamos muchísimo. Desastre Bluebelles (tostadas francesas con yogur y bayas) delicioso. Pan de masa agria tan fresco como podría ser. Opción para hacer el café más caliente (en pizarra) de agradecer!

I'd been out with a friend the night before and we fancied going out for brunch. It was 8:30am so our only options were Costa or Bluebelles. We took a seat and were served drinks fairly smoothly but no one came to take our food order and we had to beckon a waiter. There were only a few people in the restaurant and two waitresses. It we felt ignored.When the food came it was very tasty. And of course after 9am it got a lot busier post the school run. We had to ask for the bill and ask to pay it.Apart from the service it's a nice place where you can sit outside in the street if the weather is nice and they also have a little garden out the back but only one toilet.Wouldn't go back in a hurry but maybe on the odd occasion. If the Delisserie had been open we would have gone there for sure.

Nice decor - but service poor, & worried about hygiene on such a hot day: dirty cloth left on my table while I sat there. Service slow: one man asked for his money back as his order took so long. And on a very hot day all the cakes were out, unrefrigerated and uncovered, and that is not really acceptable.

My husband and I have been to this café several times now. We have gone for breakfast, lunch, coffee and it has always been perfect! They accept dogs which is great for us and also have lots of veggie options for me. We love it and have never had a bad meal. The coffee is delicious too! They have seats outside so its lovely at a weekend to enjoy a coffee and the sun when its out!

I have casually found out about Bluebelles a month ago and what a lovely surprise it has been! Had the best Eggs Royale in ages with real big Portobello mushroom as side , we have definitely tasted the passion from the chef because it was divine! We will be back soon :)

Delicious scrambled eggs = £5.50 One plain grilled tomato = £2.50. How does that compute or remotely make sense? Oh and one extra slice of toast = £1! Whilst I appreciate staffing costs/overheads etc this is simply unacceptable and when I queried the tomato charge I was told "that's the cost of a side order of tomatoes parmesan - it doesn't make a difference that you didn't have the parmesan" .... and the manageress was serious! A real shame because the staff are friendly and the food is good. If Bluebelles was a film I would give it a 0 rotten tomato rating!!

Visited Bluebelles on route to Allianz Park to watch the rugby. Not been to Mill Hill Broadway before, so just went in as it looked inviting and should be better than food at the stadium. We weren't wrong, the food and service was excellent and is somewhere we will definitely visit again if we are at Saracens. Highly recommend.

Every time I am in Mill Hill with my friend we cannot resist going to Bluebells for a slice of their homemade cakes and a coffee. I adore their banana loaf best

Been going to bluebelles daily almost since it opened.Really is the best latte in mill hill and all the staff are friendly

El servicio fue excelente, las chicas muy serviciales y amables. Los platos del desayunos son interesantes y el que yo me comí estuvo delicioso, fresco, caliente y bien presentado

I have visited Bluebelles for over a year now and it is by far my favourite place for breakfast. Coffee is great, food fresh and delicious and the staff is first class bearing in mind it is a very popular place. The lady who runs the place makes it special and is a real asset to the success of this gem of restaurant Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great breakfast, you will not get tired of itPH

This place is a proper rip off . Bad to worst service . Waiters come to chat , dirty tables and unwelcoming .The food is very basic but they will charge you fortune for it . Dry chicken sandwich , cold coffee served with attitude , no water until I go to pay at the counter even after asking twice.I would rather stay hungry next time .

Went for breakfast and had tithe stack. The food was good as was the coffee, though not cheap. However the service to the tables was slow and inattentive. It seemed that customers are somewhat of an inconvenience- wanting menus and then wanting to order and then expecting food and drink. Been bringing the bill and taking payment needed 15 minutes. Unfortunately with the nearest competitor having just closed I do not hold out much hope for improvement. In future although a bit further to drive, cafe Vero or Michaels for my breakfast. Half the price, twice the service and four times the value.

Nice place to go for brunch or a light bite but the menu doesn't stretch much further than that! Staff aren't overly friendly but the service was quick and food is a reasonable price for the location.

This is an ok restaurant in the heart of Mill Hill broadway but some things have been dne on the cheap.Late are served in glasses you'd expect to get water in. the plates are made of Tin and you feel should would be more at home at the war front of the second world war.The wasabi horeseraddish on myfsh finger sandwich was non existent. the fish fingers were seemed like a supermarkets vaue brand. the best bit of the sandwich was the bread which was nice and fresh. The portion of macaroni cheese was very small. Water was oredred and never came, even though the guy at the counter was right behind us.Not a great place unless you want basic food for a mid range price

GREAT POTENTIAL...good menu and staff ranging from outstanding to sleepy.Put off though by its 2 star "NEEDS IMPPROVEMENT" hygiene rating.I don't understand why this does not appear to be an urgent priority.Giving it a miss for the time being...

The coffee here is really delicious, however I have tried both the red veevet and victoria sponge and both dry, however everything else I have had there has been tasty

Lo que mas me llamo la atencion es el personal,apesar de que el local estaba lleno siempre estaban sonriendo y muy atentos a los clientes dando un buen servicio si a esto le sumas la calidad del producto es el local ideal para tomarte el cafe o el te con los amigos y pasar el rato, aaah los muffin de muerte

Nice about everything, tthe coffee is great and also they have sourdough bread . I am a big fan. Tghe staff is very helpful and they treat you nice

The food here is great some of the best in the area. The service however is not great and slow. They also sell lovely cakes and bread

I used to visit regularly but often end up waiting 20 minutes to order so have stopped going. Staff are either very nice or completely ignore you and rude (especially lady with dreadlocks).I visited again to see if it had improved. Juice, coffee and eggs for breakfast - bill was nearly £16 which I think is very expensive for what it is. I probably won't go back again.

Excellent breakfast freshly served with great choice and good service. Thoroughly recommend for great Sunday brunch.

I love this cafe and make sure to visit every week-We often visit with our two young children who feel very comfortable there due to the incredibly child friendly and helpful staff especially Af and Christian. Oh and it's the best coffee on the broadway by far! The food is of a good standard especially the breakfast and pastries. I recently tried the lentil soup which was delicious. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a lovely atmosphere and great coffee.

I've been going to Bluebells since it opened, the hot drinks and snacks are the best I've had! I've eaten a few things from the main menu, which are different from other places but they are equally tasty. The staff are look really nice, polite and friendly (Christian & Af always welcome you with a smile and know what I want). My 2 little ones love it here too especially the Babychinos :-)

The staff were very friendly and helpful, always checking on us to make sure we were comfortable. my coffee was really lovely and the portobello pudding was really tasty. 100% I would come back, I would like to try breakfast there

Wunderschönes kleines Café mit heimeliger Atmosphäre und einer übersichtlichen Karte, die aber einige Leckerbissen zu bieten hat.Die Kaffeespezialitäten sind exzellent, was vielleicht auch daran liegt, dass der Kaffee mit 72 Grad aufgebrüht wird, laut Infotafel die optimale Temperatur für das beste Geschmackserlebnis.Klar, dass in einem so netten Ambiente die Mitarbeiter auch total nett sind.

Went with a friend for brunch at the weekend. The staff were great with me and had gluten free bread and made sure my scrambled eggs were dairy free. I've been before and enjoyed the fresh juices and coffee. Nothing fancy about it but yet to have a bad experience.

Out for lunch with colleagues on a Wednesday at noon. Mill Hill is relatively affluent, and I'd been warned to expect a trendy vegetarian cafe. It certainly looked popular, with a group of young hipsters sat outside on the pavement (it was a glorious day) but I was pleasantly surprised at the varied menu. We all ate bread based mains, two of us the Chicken BLT, someone else eggs and the fourth Haloumi. We all agreed it was well cooked, and tasty; exactly what you'd expect for the mid range prices we paid. One of my companions commented that they could have done with less flesh on display by our waitress, but I wasn't complaining. I'd definitely go back.

Heard tonnes about this shabby chic Notting Hill cafe opening up in North London and I couldn't wait to check it out. Seemed like a perfect Sunday brunch. After eating there, I don't understand the buzz. The food is mediochre. I could rustle up the same thing at home so there's nothing special about it. However, I was intrigued by the Bluebelles Mess which was a real mess. Interesting concept but wasn't really balanced in flavour and probably gave me a cavity. The stacks sounded good on paper, but weren't as good on plate. I'd be interested to try lunch if I could really be bothered. The food really has potential but just isn't what is expected. Sticking to eggs and toast was the best option and actually turned out to be what I wanted.The atmosphere is lovely and nostalgic of Portabello. The staff are super friendly too. Shame about the food though. On the bright side, the fresh bread does make the place smell like a bakery from heaven. x x x

I visited Bluebelles in Mill Hill on Friday afternoon at 4 pm.Ordered a latte and a cake, eat in price £7.40 the pair.4.15 got latte served in a paper cup at my table after chasing it up twice. Then got cake at 4.25 after insisting it had to come soon or I had to leave. Had to extend my parking and felt the service was very slow and the staff could not be bothered about my time schedule.Won't be going back, sloppy to say the least plus nothing special quality wise. Latte and a cake in Starbucks is less than £5 - paid 50% more and wasn't worth it. Plus latte in take away cup as they 'were closing soon'.

I was looking really forward to going to this trendy cafe. Sadly, it didn't go quite as well as I had hoped. Upon arrival we found an empty table to take but we were set upon by an unfriendly waitress who asked to move to a different table at the front. This did put a bit of a downer on our experience. The young waitress who served us was very friendly and took our order well, the food was pricey but ok, The unfriendly waitress brought back my Brownie and dumped it down on the table without so much as a glance as if it was an inconvenience. So the service by some staff is very terrible!

I really like this place. We had an excellent breakfast and good coffee. Great to have somewhere like this in our area. Not cheap but worth it.

Not sure why this place is so popular. Sure it looks pretty but the Menu is very limited and is very expensive for what it is. Service is OK though generally slow. On latest visit there was virtually no heating, with everybody wearing their coats ( and yes we asked for the heat to be turned up - three times). Have visited several times, mainly because my daughter likes it. Personally, I'd avoid it

Nice spot in mill hill but it was a Saturday morning so busy to park and quite busy so we were lucky to find a table. The seating is not so comfy a quite hard bench seating on one side and chairs on the other. The menu looks interesting but as we had already eaten breakfast we just wanted s coffee and pastry. The pastry was nice enough. I had an almond milk capuccino which was okay but a little bitter. The service was okay although they made s mistake with the bill but when it was pointed out it was corrected. The prices are on the high side. We bought some nice sourdough bread to take away which was nice.

This is mine and my partners favourite breakfast/brunch spot, and we go there whenever we can. The staff are really lovely, the food is great and I love the cakes as you leave. It has a great varied mixture of people who come but it's a pretty funky, healthy styled place. I recommend the "stacks" they do, and their fresh juice is great too. Make sure you get a cake as you leave (I can never fit it in straight after breakfast)

I have been to bluebells a few times 1) the first was after it had just opened - service was extremely slow and took over 20minutes for my coffee to arrive even though the restaurant was empty2) the second time I went with family for breakfast and it was a busy day with a q at the door, we were still eating and drinking and we were literally kicked out whilst still in he middle of our brunch!!! The waitress threw the bill down and cleared away everything whilst we were still eating - absolutely shocking to be treated like Regis because there was pressure to "serve" the customers at the door - portions were also tinnnnnnny and expensive 3) went last week with friends for coffee - I wanted to warn them but didn't kick up a fuss abt the service - wish I had as we were there 1/2 hour before deciding to call the waitress to take our order as no one bothered serving usAvoidLooks nice and trendy but service is honestly appalling, rude and almost non existent Rather go to half full or fratelli or even Costa on the high street if u want service!!!

How long we have waited for a local coffee shop that serves good coffee but it's here at last and well worth the wait. Bluebells serves Caravan coffee made beautifully by their baristas. They also have a simple menu for lunch and breakfast and are happy to make slight changes if out a fuss. Please support this restaurant, we need it to stay.Bluebells please make regular changes to your menu to keep it interesting.

Great atmosphere and always busy, it's the heart of the high street. The menu has some innovative takes on classics; I recommend the 'stacks' (breakfast classics arranged in layers on top of a rösti) and the apple crumble pie. It is a little pricey and the service varied somewhat. It has free wifi for customers and so was a great place to spend an afternoon working.
