Byron Gloucester Road in Kensington and Chelsea

Wherever you go into a branch of PAUL you can be sure of excellent cakes, pastries and hot drinks as well as delicious snacks. Very small seating area, but we managed to find a seat. Friendly service and wonderful baking smells.

My first visit to Paul in this trip to London and I enjoyed the Spiced Apple Warmer tremendously. The apple pastry was also delicious. This outlet was having a particularly busy period and we were lucky to get seats. There were few tables and it is rather cramped esp with the long Q of customers. Nevertheless still a five star rating from me!

We had the best hot chocolate we’ve ever tasted—absolutely incredible! There’s also a great selection of sandwiches to choose from, which we really appreciated. In fact, we loved it so much that we came back the next day! However, I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the meat sandwiches were placed in direct contact with the vegetarian ones, which shouldn’t happen. This is something that could be improved to ensure a better experience for all customers. Overall, a wonderful spot for delicious drinks and a quick bite!

We had breakfast several mornings at Paul's, a nice place even if a little crowded (and small, so much so that it is often difficult to find a seat at a free table). In any case, I had a good time: very good coffee, some very good pastries (e.g. muffins) others less so (e.g. some sort of raspberry croissant)

The pains au chocolat is fluffy and crisp, the latte just perfect. All I need for the start of a very good morning!

Today, the service was terrible! The barista did not make a coconut latte for me as I ordered. I waited 15 minutes for my coffee and had to ask for it to be remade. Meanwhile, he was making four coffees for his friends without charging them!

Service is rude and wifi doesn’t work

1. Very little space inside congested and put too many chairs. 2. Don’t accept cash 💰 3. Indian looking employees were not friendly. Food 🥘 and coffee was good.

Nothing special at all. Very crisp crusts on the baguettes made it difficult for the children to bite. The sesame seed baguette (chicken sandwich) was so covered in seeds that it tasted bitter. £40 for four sandwiches, two bags of crisps and two 4 ounce juices.

I had only a flat white and it was good

Standard chain sandwich shop but poor service

Poor and slow service, I asked for a refund as I could not wait any longer.

Dirty tables, wobbly chairs. Cash is not accepted.

The service is bad-tempered and I was charged an extra 1 pound (I only saw it later). They gave me a cold sandwich and I had to ask for it to be warmed up. Go to Pret à Manger, nearby, the sandwiches are better and the service is friendlier, as well as accepting cash (this Paul store only accepts cards).

Went to the store for breakfast. Not enough chairs for the tables. Tables were not cleared. They did not have any coffee cups so ours had to be in takeaway cups even though it was not busy. Asked for servettes and was given one for the two of us. We were told no more. Coffee was average. Probably didn’t help they didn’t have glass cups.

It’s a small quiet place that’s also peaceful and the food was to die for just wow

LIVE UPDATE : CLOSED @ 08:30AM

Not open as scheduled. It’s supposed to be open at 6:00am. It’s 6:17 am and it doesn’t look like they will open anytime soon. This is not how to run a business. They finally opened their doors at 6:25 am and I asked for some croissants they rudely said they were not ready. Come on people.

Been a customer of Paul’s for many years and love to go there but this time just wasn’t right. The cake I’ve got was old, you can taste that the puff pastry was soft and the filling was acid. Disappointed by the fact that I’ve message them privately and the answer was that looks good to them, yes but I think you should trust and care when your customer says that it wasn’t. Anyway there is so many places around to have a slice of cake so don’t bother

I ordered a baguette from here with ham filling and I ended up with food poisoning, vomitting and cramps all night.

I took out a sandwich for lunch and ate it at the hotel. Is delicious. I got some takeaway sandwiches for lunch and ate them at the hotel. They were delicious.

Rude staff with unnecessary attitude towards the customers

First time visiting London, stopped for morning coffee. We are very particular with our coffee/espresso and it was spectacular here! Loved the selection of pastries, and charming ambiance.

Food was great. One of the best toasted cheese sandwiches I’ve had and the coffee was great too, only criticism is that I think it needs a fresh coat of paint on the front.

Bad so bad ,you have more coffe places near by with good services and good food

I am from France, it’s crazy that Paul UK is much better than that in Paris. The jambon fromage sandwich is excellent. The ham amd cheese are just so fresh. Shame on you Paul France.

Cake was moist and surprisingly for layered chocolate cake the sweetness was barely and not over powering. Loved everything about the cafe. Tranquil music to match the aesthetics and theme.

Poorly maintained and unfriendly. A disaster. And very expensive too. To flee 😬👎👎👎👎👎

Friendly service , coffees are too good

Nice place to take your morning coffee with the sweets or even something more. Mozzarella cheese ciabatta was very good.

An exquisite place for lunch. We were in London for a week and came here 3 times! The sandwiches are spectacular, such fresh crunchy bread, beautiful fillings. All the pastries are lovely too. Great atmosphere and great service - five stars!

Good breakfast and expensive prices, especially if you eat it at the table. Still much better than any typical chain

The service was nice, and the atmosphere is your normal quaint bakery. The pastries looked appetizing in the window, but unfortunately weren’t the best. I got a croissant, a pastel de nata, and an apricot pastry; all of which were very dry and didn’t have much flavor. I ordered at 10am, so you would think they would still be fresh. The coffee was pretty good. I would recommend trying any of the other great bakeries in the area instead of this one.

Incredible sweets!!! Best eclair and macaroni we’ve ever eaten in our lives!!!

To be fair, we paid 5€ on top of the price for eating in, while they didn’t even gave as the chance to take away. They directly charged us the price to eat in. EACH SINGLE ITEM HAS A EAT IN PRICE. The Sandwich has 1,5€ ON TOP OF THE PRICE for eating in!! That’s corny… Worst ambience ever, traffic outside, tables not clean, machines sound very loud. They didn’t even gave us an eating tray. Ridiculous to charge SO much on top of the price to eat in on a place that is NO comfortable!! Food really standard, nothing outstanding.

A very friendly restaurant, they are very energetic, come here for breakfast, their energy will make you happy all day long. The other one should be his store manager, who just greets people with a smile.

Staff more interested in talking to each other and on their phones , no greeting , given a take out cup and had to ask for the table to be cleaned

Amazing bakery. Croamssaints and pain au chocolat were sublime. Sandwiches are very good too well worth a visit if in the area.

Everything here was great. Quick and good service, tasty breakfast and lovely atmosphere.

One star becuase they keep putting the bread out on the shelf without any covering - so people just cough, sneeze, and fart all over the “fresh” produce. Move the bread away, behind the counter!

Visited on 2nd November for breakfast, whilst the baguettes and pastries were of high quality the service from the server was not, very curt in her approach to customers and seemed not wanting to be there, the other server had far better customer service skills

Another Paul (this time Paul Gloucester Road) another disappointing latte & Flat white. No coffee aroma on neither of the coffee we ordered because it was not made to perfection the way it meant to be made. Paul must be franchising, otherwise, why on earth the quality is dropping. For the sake of the business please train your team the art of coffee making.

Famtastic morning coffee! My everyday go-to!

Coffee was not good and served in a paper cup even though I asked for a regular cup - what you expect when dining in. They are just lazy

A chain cafe. Bread and drinks ok. Nothing exceptional but would not disappoint either.

It stinks to high heaven of frying oil in here. In addition, the table and chair were cleared away in front of me at 6 p.m. on Sunday after I said I wanted to go to the toilet quickly and then have a coffee outside. What's that supposed to mean? The young guy who was on duty today probably had something to clean in the shop and it is clear that it is open until 7 p.m. Why is the terrace cleared at 6 p.m.?

Visited here this week for the first time, staff were decent and the food was amazing. Coffee was also pretty good. Will look to visit again in the future!

Coffee milk was burnt and the americanos was weak and boiling hot. Food was nice though.

Fantastic drinks, pastry wasn't warm and the service was cold. The hot chocolate was really dark and sweet which was great. Raspberry macron frappe was also very sweet and unique. The pastry was unfortunately cold but still tasty. Service was too quiet and forgot to charge or give us the pastry and wasn't happy to give recommendations on non-coffee drinks. Chairs wobbly too, situated besides a high traffic road.

Great sandwiches, cakes, teas and coffee

القهوه عاديه و مزدحم ومافي جلسات كافيه

Flat white was good, and we got a table at 9am, which is probably a credit to the area. Two croque monsieurs were stone cold though despite going through the motions with a reheating grill… toilet was pretty untidy too, and the staff not overly interested in taking an order.

Went to get few tartelettes this afternoon. Lemon is still not my favorite but it has a new taste now. Thank you for the great customer service 🤍

Toppenbra ställe att äta frukost på. Magiska croissanten och perfekt ställe att köpa take-away från!

El pan tiene muy buena pinta, los dulces normales

Excellent coffees and French pasteries.♥️❤️

Always spoilt for choice here. Something for everyone.

Pricey coffee which wasn't the most enjoyable and a bit watery. Pain au chocolat was decent though...

What can you say about a coffeehouse chain named after you 🤣

Convenient spot right at the Gloucester Road underground exit.

Try the pistachio macron! So delicious! The coffee is good, the premade sandwiches are good, not too expensive.

Puedes comer allí o llevártelo. Es rápido y está rico

The food here never disappoints

There are so many googies that it's very difficult to choose

Achat de sandwich, pain dur et peu fourni pour le prix.

Fresh croissants and good ☕️ coffee.

The best coffee and cakes. Thank you.

Muito bom para um café da manhã

크로아상은 바삭하고 촉촉합니다. 제가 먹은 크로아상 중에 가장 맛있는 카페입니다. 커피는 연하고 부드럽습니다. take away 할 때 커피를 가득 줍니다. 걷다가 손을 데일수 있으니 조금 덜어서 달라고 부탁하셔도 좋을 듯 합니다.

Fantastic bakery. Items have gotten smaller though

Take and advice my client and friends it the best car I've ever been only foam rinse and dry.

Came here for a meal with family before a show at the Royal Albert Hall. Restaurant is quite small inside but we got seated quickly. The waitress was really nice and polite when serving us. The burgers were great and there was loads of sweet potato fries, mmmmmm

Hamburger de qualidade. Atendimento ótimo. Foram super atenciosos com nossa família. Tem cardápio kids. Vale a visita. Milk shake sensacional.

Suite aux différents avis nous nous sommes rendus dans ce restaurant. Service sympathique. Possibilité de modifier finement son burger. Steak de bonne qualité. Toutefois les frites accompagnant le burger étaient industrielles et trop cuite. Peut être les frites en option sont de meilleures qualités ?

Superó mis espectativas dado que se trata de una franquicia. Buena calidad en la comida y a precio asequible. Opcionea disponibles vegetarianas y veganas. Quedamos muy contentos con la atención de la camarera, que se acercó un par de veces a asegurarse que todo estaba bien.

Excellent food. I ordered a classic burger: meat, cheese, a slice of tomato and some ketchup. It was so yummy. The taste was delicious, especially the tomato was so fresh and rich. Plus the staff was super kind.

One of the best burgers I have ever had. Small spot, but nice and comfortable. The wait staff were friendly and efficient. And the food was assume. I will be gong back.

Very tasty burgers! Friendly and service minded staff, helpful with allergy information. The decor was bright and nice.

Llamado aquí con nuestro hijo de 5 años. Estaba esperando una hamburguesa bastante agradable. . . Me sorprendió gratamente lo deliciosa que era la comida. Tuve la hamburguesa de pollo frito con aguacate, absolutamente delicioso y lleno de sabor. Chips también muy bueno.Hija tenía Mac y queso y esto sabía muy bien y había un montón.Nuestro servidor fue muy amable y nos hizo sentir bienvenidos inmediatamente.La cerveza Camden disponible en Byron's también fue muy agradable.Sí, es caro para hamburguesas y papas fritas, pero es el centro de Londres y la comida es deliciosa.

Io e i miei colleghi ci siamo fermati in questo ristorante per cena. Serve gustosi piatti focalizzati soprattutto sugli hamburger. Abbiamo optato per delle polpettine di formaggio e alette di pollo come antipasto poi abbiamo preso degli a hamburger con patatine e insalata. Io ho deciso di provare il nuovo hamburger 'truffler' vegano che mi ha soddisfatto davvero tanto per la leggerezza e gusto! I camerieri sono stati simpaticissimi e professionali!

My daughters and I just returned from a visit to London, and we stayed near the Gloucester Road Bryon. We ended up eating here twice during our stay, largely because my girls are picky eaters and both agreed on Byron (so thanks for that--getting them to agree on food can be a challenge!).Our waitress both times was lovely--she was very busy on both occasions, dealing with a packed restaurant largely on her own but she was efficient and friendly. I wish I'd remembered her name, as she deserves recognition for her hard work.

This is a no-frills burger place with quite an extensive menu. The quality of the dishes, however, is merely mediocre. The truffle burger I had had obviously never seen a real truffle but was seasoned with some artificial flavouring. The chips were soggy. The cider, however, was quite good.

En general, como Byron. Aunque no es una gran experiencia hoy, el menú en línea no tiene ningún precio, solo dice que puedes conseguir una hamburguesa y papas fritas por 8. 95, así que pensé que sería capaz de conseguir una hamburguesa vegetariana por esa cantidad. Las hamburguesas veganas son como 13. 95 que es un salto masivo. El servidor era agradable, muy eficiente, la comida salió rápidamente y estaba bien. Nos preguntaron si nos gustaría algún condimento, como usted lo hace, y luego vimos que habíamos sido acusados 2. 80 extra por dos potes de plástico apenas llenos a la mitad de mayonesa vegana. Le dije al servidor que estaba sorprendido de que nos hubieran cobrado por las salsas y ella se fue a dar vueltas acerca de cómo cuando vas a cualquier restaurante por el que te cobran extra, eso es normal, si obtienes avo extra o tocino extra ' Me cobrarán, y que no me sorprenda. No es frecuente encontrar mayonesa vegana cuando salgo a comer, pero no te cobrarían 1. 40 para una olla de mayonesa en cualquier lugar. Se fue sintiendo estafado.

Food was okay, pricier than alternatives in the area. Servers very pushy in trying to sell you more food. Don't be surprised if you see extras on your bill.

Su consiglio di un collega inglese ho provato questo locale.Ideale per chi non vuole perdere troppo tempo per la cena, senza rinunciare ad un servizio cortese ed attento. Buona la qualità degli hamburger con prezzi che vanno dalle 8 alle 13 sterline.Ottima la Byron (in lattina) lager leggera che si accompagna ottimamente con il panino.Arredamento un poco datato e locale con circa 30 coperti, ottima scelta per chi vuole mangiare un buon panino senza troppo pretese.Lo consiglio

Una excelente opción para comer en Londres. Bien de precio, hamburguesas y ensaladas buenas. Buen trato (incluso en español)

Un accueil chaleureux , de bonnes suggestions ... des hamburgers sympathiques ... un menu spécial children ... De petites bières locales sympas telles la Camden ...Bon rapport qualité prix

Az avokádós hamburger isteni volt. Nagyon kedves és profi a személyzet! Csak ajánlani tudom mindenkinek! 🙂

The bun on my chicken burger was stale and dry. It was really hard around the edges. The waitress said they weren't frozen then defrosted when I asked her. The bread is definitely not fresh. She apologised but that was about it. There is a very strong smell of rancid cooking oil when you walk in like they don't change their oil regularly enough. This is not the first time I've experienced this problem as the buns were stale at the South Kensington branch also. Both restaurants need a good spring clean also, especially the South Kensington Branch on Old Brompton Road which is very grubby. Especially the tables and floor which are very sticky.

Небольшая сетевая бургерная в районе South Kensington неподалеку от музеев Альберта и Виктории и Музея Естествознания. Зашли сюда совершенно случайно, просто отдохнуть от пешей прогулки и немного подкрепиться. В принципе ничем не примечательное фаст-фуд заведение. Обслуживание было приятным, хотя само помещение не очень уютное. В туалете не работал писсуар, при нас мастер ремонтировал дверь и она почти все время была открыта нараспашку, что было не очень приятно. Еда обычная фастфудовская, неплохая и нехорошая, обычная. В общем и целом - зашли, перекусили, ушли и забыли. Стоит отметить, что в центре видели заведения этой же сети куда как более привлекательные и свежие. Так что если хотите бургеры от BYRON можно найти и более симпатичное местечко этой сети

ไปทีไรคนเต็มร้านตลอด แต่รออาหารไม่นาน เป็นร้านเบอร์เกอร์ไฮโซ บรรยากาศน่านั่ง รสชาติดี ราคาสูงนิดนึง แต่อร่อย

Stopped in here for a burger as we were staying in the local area. Starters came very quickly, and the mac and cheese balls were a big hit. Main course came out a little late meaning the fries had sat for a number of minutes and weren’t as hot as possible. Staff were attentive and friendly, although easily distracted every time a deliveroo driver turned up every 5 mins

Nut! Wow, talk about a ambience, I was immediately blown away by the tremendous smell of food. I enjoy eating food thoroughly. It tastes good and provides me with energy. 5 sstars?!

Stayed at a nearby hotel so we tried the smashed avocado burger and fries. Take away was quick;however, the burger was really dry and not flavorful. Definitely would not recommend.

The waitress was amazing, so friendly and seemed to take a genuine interest in making sure we had everything (actually, it's a shame she didn't have a name badge).The mains came quickly and were delicious, and then desserts and coffee came just as quick. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

I visited here on a solo trip and there was nothing about the experience I wish to repeat. I can see why the chain is in trouble. I ordered a double cheese burger without pickles. The waitress repeated this when my burger was brought to me. I bit into my burger. What was on it???Pickles. Why bother complaining when the waiting staff aren’t taking the customer seriously. Sadly the burger was the same quality as Burger King, but three times the price. Absolutely awful. Will not be back.

Must try this burger when in London. They make proper delicious burgers. The place is casual and prices are reasonable. All in all, it is always a pleasure to return. I would suggest smaller salad and appetizer options for solo visitors.

Been in this tiny Byron couple of times, not necessary because we love burgers, but because we love the people working there! I been there on Friday night, they been busy, and the blond girl(guess manager) (Naiomi?)she had such a great connection with all customer. In one point she and another waiter, blond as well, they been laughing on something, probably for all the people they were coming in and sitting down without saying anything, .Was really nice to see that people are happy on a busy runny shift. Food was great, they suggested haloumi fries and we loved it. This is our favourite Byron, food is always great and staff always cheerful and smiling.

Buenísimas hamburguesas y trato súper agradable. Laura y Mirka son encantadoras!!!!!. Rápido servicio, fuimos con muchos niños y Laura y Mirka nos atendieron genial y con mucha paciencia

Las mejores camareras en atender Laura y Mirka. Rápidos y muy rica la comida, tenéis que probar los milkshakes de Oreo.
