Nice coffee and cakes, service not so switched on. We had to ask twice and waited 15 mins for the last drink from our order. As it was a coke this was disappointing. Oh and service charge is included automatically . All in all it would have been better to have walked a few more steps to exhibition road, lots to choose from there.

Lovely, relaxed little place with tables inside and outside in garden. Near South Kensington tube and Natural History Museum. Light and mostly veggie fare but something for everyone, be it breakfast, brunch, lunch or late-afternoon snack.

It's OK, but it's expensive for what it is. And they "force" you to pay for 12.5% service when it "must" be optional.

Popped in here as it looked warm and inviting on a cold December evening, with a serviceable snack menu. It was late in the day and so it was fine that some stuff wasn’t available (less wastage; means it’s fresh) and I really enjoyed a rare beef roll on delicious bread and an excellent coffee. Service was extremely warm and efficient. So getting towards four and a half stars. Then … I went downstairs to the “facilities”. Wasn’t really impressed to be honest. There is something about food preparation areas being meters from the aforementioned “facilities” that I couldn’t stomach. Can you not sort this out? I loved everything else!

I had the homemade jalapeño cornbread with grilled chorizo and a fried egg, along with some avocado and siracha mayo - it was savoury and a little sweet and spicy - so many amazing flavours and textures. Along with the chocolate shake (made with oat milk) it was the perfect thing to kickstart my weekend. My friends equally enjoyed their French toast with bacon and toasted banana bread. We sat in the outdoor garden and although it was a chilly day, it was perfect with the heat lamps on!

This little cafe is consistently good. I have eaten here at various times of the day and had different meals. Each time I have had great tasting food and great service from the friendly staff. It is sadly not easy these days to find independent restaurants/cafes that offer great food at reasonable prices but thankfully Brompton Food Market does just this. If you are in the area give it a try, it really is very good. This time I had breakfast on two separate days , the mushrooms were absolutely divine.

My husband and I tried the Brompton Food Market after realizing that the breakfast at our B&B was mostly cold foods/cereal. We liked Brompton Food Market so much that we returned the next morning. We both had the full breakfast (bacon, scrambled eggs, avocado, tomato, mushrooms, and sourdough toast). Given that we always hold the baked beans and black pudding with the typical full English, this offering was perfect. We also tried the fresh Orange and Orange/Carrot/Ginger juice. Everything was freshly made and delicious! We will certainly be back again.

All we ordered was an iced coffee and tap water. Took 10 minutes for the tap water to arrive then another 10 minutes for a coffee. Service wasn’t great either. Asked for the bill and the waitress just pointed a card machine at me, without even telling me the total amount. Disappointing.

Two of us went there for brunch today and had the cornbread. The food was good but tiny portions - for £11.75, this was a very small snack rather than an eat-out breakfast. Whilst I don't have a problem with small portions, for the price, didn't seem huge value for money. Service was super slow and the waiting staff did everything to avoid eye contact with customers. Our table also was not clean. I still gave a generous tip. But they need to look at cleanliness and service.

Quite possibly the best sandwich ever, not just in London, I mean anywhere. The rare roast beef sandwich has the most delicate and perfect bread, with lovely olive oil and pesto hidden within on the top and spiced mayo on the bottom, pickled onions, complimenting arugula, and moist, tender, beef I'll be dreaming about this for a long time 😁. I'm told the sauteed mushroom and sourdough dish with added smoked salmon was also excellent 👌. If we had more time in the area, this would certainly make the short list. Did I mention how good the sandwich was 😜.

I've gone back many many times, but a freshly made lemonade and a slice of cake in the garden is the best escape from the bustling city! The staff clearly enjoy working at the cafe and working with each other, which makes the whole experience all the more enjoyable. Would definitely reccomend!

We had really been looking forward to a rare treat brunch out but it overall left disappointed. My husband's french toast went down a treat but the cornbread was a real let down - bone dry, wouldn't recommend at all! - and with quite a hefty price tag. A couple of brunch dishes with coffee and a juice somehow exceeded £40. A word of warning too - if you are seated in the garden, bring something warm. We weren't expecting to be out there and were freezing by the end of brunch.

Arrived at 11.45. Took 20 minutes for anybody to come and take a drinks order. Then the waitress ran off saying she'd be back soon to take food orders. 20 mins later she reappeared and said breakfast could no longer be served because it was now after midday. Definitely not going back.

I go here a lot for breakfast and lunch as it's close to work and is my favourite eatery in South Ken, for breakfast it's by far and away the best place to go. The scrambled eggs are always delicious and a great choice of teas and coffees. Also the garden is really lovely. Booked a 6pm table yesterday for dinner which I've never done before and they had run out of salad, frittata and houmous which on a relatively small menu means there's not much left to choose from, there were 3 dishes left and one of those was not vegetarian. Ended up having the other two options-smashed avocado and tortilla chips and a cheese toastie - it was ok but all very dry and the sandwich needed salad. It took 40mins to arrive so we had to eat super quick and then run off to my evening appointment. Not the nice dinner experience I was expecting and overall very disappointing, I won't be returning for dinner again. Staff were polite but couldn't escape the embarrassment of a restaurant with very little food.

Three main seating areas- indoor , outside Garden isn’t that nice, it’s basically back of the building with rubbish bags in the background and unkempt garden of the neighbour house. Seating was uncomfortable as on garden furniture with cushions but really need back cushions too. Offers free water off the tap. Breakfast selection diverse- Avocado on seeded bread was ok- on the tasteless side. The tropical thunder smoothie was good . The toilets are downstairs- do pass the kitchen on the way and can have a look in- looked clean. Service was good.

Went twice - food was nicely cooked and presented but was disappointed the second visit when the chef "absolutely refused" to make the breakfast burrito without scrambled egg or with any sort of substitute instead of the egg. Most of the substantial meals on the breakfast menu do contain egg which I have an intolerance to, so I had toast which was fine I guess! The smoothies were lovely. Giving 4* for group experience, but personally would give it a 3.

Had high hopes, but will not visit again. The food was very basic and not worth the price for what it was - such as the winter stew was simply 90% frozen peas in tomato sauce and was nearly £11, and a side plate size of salad for £13. The single toilet wasn't working, and the staff didn't seem surprised when I mentioned it. They said there was no staff toilet the customers could use, so feel bad for them if that's true - how can you not have a functioning toilet for staff and customers? They didn't even put up a sign to warn customers and it was clear people were still using the non-flushing toilet. Made for a very uncomfortable and disappointing lunch experience. This feedback was also given to the staff, but felt was important to share for other potential customers.

Love this gorgeous restaurant, visit from time to time. On Tuesday evening, 27th of April 2021 we went into the restaurant to see if they could accommodate us with a table (two ladies). I asked the 1st person after we entered through the door, a gent named Onur, said he has no bookings available and we should have known better to book before hand. which is fair enough, though his tone and words were not very pleasant. Regardless we mentioned that we are local and really hoping to get a table for an hour or so. He said we could come back at 7:30 which was the time then, I can understand if they were rushed off their feet and too busy to deal with walk ins. I feel that some one more welcoming and friendly should be at the door always. We then went into the small garden and took a look around, empty tables at the back and asked the waitress, a young lady with blonde hair tied up. He then interrupted us and got annoyed about the fact that we asked if we could sit at any one of those tables for a quick dinner and turned really rude. He said " come one, why are you going around and asking every one" and " I already said no, we cannot accommodate you, please" and pointed to the door. We are really upset to have been spoken to in such way and are extremely embarrassed as we were inside the premises when he pointed us the door to leave. Both Londoners and never experienced such rude manners specially in an established area and business such as Brinkleys. We live locally and looked presentable and dressed for dinner, feel we did not receive any respect or courtesy. What could have been a very polite encounter and concluded by let me see when we next have a table available turned into us being rudely spoken to and pointed to the door. Manners and peoples skills were lacking which is shocking. We hoped to receive an apology here at least but we never did.
