Cafe 101 in City of London, Westminster

Great cafe place to chill although its at basement, food is nice and the staff service is awesome. 🤩

Excellent economical meal. Always keen to help and accomodate. Great meals.

Great place for a drink, snack and nice atmosphere

Excelente, nos encantó. No solo tiene precios razonables, además la comida es rica y la atención de la gente que trabaja es excelente! Lugar tranquilo.

It was great to be able to eat healthy at an affordable price.

Really enjoyed lunch at CAFe 101!

It is a nice relaxing place with good filling fare and friendly staff

Great food and prices for central London. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Sometimes have free exhibitions on as well.

Overall food was decent, service from cafe staff was great on the other hand the atmosphere felt hostile as the security team was being unprofessional and disrespectful, the short guard Abdul made me feel unwanted and hated as I was with my Bangladeshi colleague and she was wearing a scarf as she was Muslim, the attitude he showed was unbelievable as he came from a Bangladeshi background also, this was a bad experience for me and my colleague and made us feel as though The Salvation Army was not a welcoming place for all backgrounds and ethnicities

service was good and all staff were kind but guard was unkind and he checked my son's pencil case. It made me uncomfortable.

A group of 14 of us had an enjoyable lunch here. Very good value , several had fish and chips, good service and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you

London’s best kept secret for a fresh lunch offer that doesn’t cost the earth! My go to destination if I’m in the area. Something for everyone, great breakfast lunch and afternoon tea offer, in a great location.

Great space and well priced food and drink. My café of choice when in the vicinity of St Paul's Cathedral

Lovely calm oasis in the centre of London. Large light and airy space. Staff friendly and helpful. Food fresh and incredibly good value for location. Sandwiches, soup, cakes.

This place is clean, reasonably priced and convenient to both St Paul’s and The Tate Modern (just across the bridge). Met a friend after 2pm and had a small bowl of Mulligatawny soup for £2.75. My friend had a cold slice of apple crumble with cream. She said it was surprisingly good. You can’t beat that, can you?

This airy, clean cafe has super fresh salads, tasty, home cooked meals, friendly helpful staff and immaculate toilets.

Arrived in time for lunch. Enjoy the pasta and hubby had jacket potato Love visiting this cafe. Supporting The Salvation Army. The HQ is light and cool. Relaxing space , smple food choices, Monday to Fridays. You will have bag check before entry.

A lovely quiet oasis away from the madding crowd

The highest Cost to Price value among those restaurants in UK

Brilliant oasis in the heart of the city - great value food and drink - short walk from the millennium bridge and bankside (tate modern etc)

Beautiful place with friendly and helpful staff, the food was excellent and the place was clean and quiet to enjoy a coffee.

Great affordable food and very good service.

We'd been on a walking tour of blitz sights, the walk finished beside St Paul's and the guide recommended various places for lunch, including here, the Salvation Army café. Several of us went there and it was excellent - clean, lots of space, tables available, a good choice of food and very reasonable prices. My wife drinks decaf coffee and said that it was excellent here, far better than Prêt. Highly recommended.

This is a very pleasant cafe. Clean and spacious. Lots of really tasty desserts and great coffee.

Quiet and spacious. Nice coffee.

Great place for a quiet meeting or warm coffee😊 close to St Paul’s cathedral which is always a lovely view 🥰

Pour manger équilibré, simple mais très bon , abordable dans un restaurant spacieux et très propre. Une bonne adresse dans un quartier touristique et plutôt cher. Au bout du pont du millénium.

Very lovely little cafe with good space and location . Just would love it if they allowed small dogs

Really quiet, I don't know why it's not better used! Good location by St Paul's, very reasonable prices.

An under used resource handy for Tate Modern etc. We were very pleased. Even the toilets were fine, and the prices very reasonable.

Located at TSA IHQ and open to the public too

Relatively quiet Slow paced service Helpful staff Thanks

Like this space, it is spacious and the food is very good although limited in its choice.

Nice coffee. Very slow service.

Very nice cafe in basement of Salvation Army headquarters near the Millennium bridge. Excellent value for money. I had the vegetable stroganof with rice & piece of chicken, cup of tea - £8.50. Clean and good service. Will go again

Un agradable lugar para descansar después de una larga caminata

One of the best kept secrets to visit whilst in the City.

Great and good quality food. Recommended

We have returned to London on a couple of occasions just to continue exploring the infinite number of historic sites. On each visit we make sure we plan our day so that we are only a short tube trip from the Salvation Army HQ. The Cafe 101 sits in the basement but still has some natural light feeding through. It is clean and very spacious with a very relaxed atmosphere. And it is cheap, for London. The staff obviously have been trained in the Salvation Army ethos as they genuinely seem happy to be there and to serve you. There are downsides of course. As it is in the office block you must go through a bag search. The menu is very limited, more or less a cafeteria in the old style. But we always found good food to eat. If you have a business lunch and want to impress then this is not the place. But for a tourist walking around London, tired and needing a break from the busyness around you then this is a great spot to get away from it all for lunch.

Light seating area, absolute best coffee I drank in england. Cheap and great quality :)

In the center of London it's a quite and lovely place to dine in or for takeout. It's a wide and open space to enjoy your meal

This is the cafe in the Salvation Army building by the Milenium Bridge, St Paul's side. Our first visit and will definitely be going back. Light and airy and very clean. Great selection of food at very reasonable prices.

Bright clean not busy. Great value and helping out a charity too. Friendly. Good location. Nice latte and teas. Food looks nice.

Decent space to grab a coffee, pretty quiet and nice food.

Great food - especially the salad. Banana cake was delicious too. Staff very friendly.

Nice for a quick coffee. A bit impersonal but ok.

This a little jewel near the Millennium Bridge and St Paul's. The menu is short but the food is good and very reasonable for central London. The staff are friendly and the place is very clean and well-maintained.

Excellent clean refreshing cafe.good prices great Central location.worth popping in

Very nice cafe everyone is wellcomed staff are friendly.

Great cafe. Friendly, reasonable prices and very clean

Brilliant inexpensive cafe right in the heart of the City. Fantastic lunchtime choice of cold and hot food. Varied healthy menu including vegan - best place to eat in the City.

Great value and friendly staff. Delicious lunch.

Amazing little place, great value for money and a lovely atmosphere. only popped in for a coffee and ended up having dinner and cake too :-)

Great coffee, great food, great service Hey it's great

Great place for a quiet coffee, snack or lunch.

Beautiful space in the basement and given its location, prices are most reasonable. Extremely careful with covid safety rules and a comfy place. Pleasant coffee and cake. Highly recommended!

Fantastic cafe, plenty of space, very reasonably priced good quality home cooked food, even has a water fountain for refilling water bottles

Great value, good food, lovely staff

We stumbled on this by accident after crossing the Millenium bridge. The soup, sandwiches, coffee and cake were all very, very, good. The staff actually looked pleased to see us! The prices were a revelation having been ripped off for much of our stay in London. A big thank you Salvation Army for a warm and enjoyable experience.

Turkish breakfast out door and indoor seating Limited parking @ times Every thing you ll want, From a cafe full menu , Fast //table service ,, Tea, coffee, 5 stars

I was walking down the street, trying to find a place to have a rest, after coming from Gatwick Airport. I found this little but cute location, café 101. The security agent was very kind and also the people at the service. I didn't expected a cheap price in centre of London and free wifi for 2 hours.

Met friend for coffee, pot of tea ,cake and croissant. Very reasonable priced, all under £10 in London! Self service, clean tables and toilets. Delicious looking self service salad bar. Polite staff. Bag search at reception before going downstairs to light airy cafe. Highly recommend. I will return for that salad! Convenient for St Pauls and Millennium bridge.

This is a great cafe with excellent food and friendly and helpful staff. Hidden in the shadows of St Paul’s. I almost want to keep it secret it was so good. I went for breakfast and everything was fresh and tasty.

We were walking across from St Pauls to the Globe Theatre and spotted this place, which appears to be in the basement of the Salvation Army HQ. It's basically their staff canteen, and open to the public. Lots of uniformed officers were getting their lunch when we were there. We really enjoyed our soup and salad lunches, with great bread. Now we can tell all our friends about having lunch at the Salvation Army while we were in London.

간단핞 ㅏㄴ한끼로 최고입니다. 집에서 ㅁ나든 것 같은 샌드위치가 인상적이었고 치즈가 특히 맛이 좋았습니다. 가벼운 한끼로 추천.

Nettes Café mit einer kleinen Speisekarte zum Mittagessen. Es gab ein warmes Hauptgericht, eine Tagessuppe und diverse belegte Baguettes und Sandwiches. Dafür alles wirklich frisch zubereitet und sehr lecker. Am Eingang wurden kurz die Taschen gecheckt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, wir durften z.B. die Suppe zuerst kosten, bevor wir sie dann auch bestellten.

Best place for breakfast. Good food service and location.

We went here as we were about to embark on mudlarking on the Thames. A great spot to start the day and a good coffee at a reasonably price. Nice clean toilets and friendly welcome. Be prepared for a quick bag search on entering. At lunchtime it was very busy with workers and visitors. Near to the Millennium Bridge on the north sie.

We were very close to the closing time but we were given a warm welcome and did not feel hurried. Cafe 101 was very clean and well decorated. Although we had only lovely tea and cakes, the quality of the other food on offer looked wonderful. Fruit was beautifully presented too. Best of all was the calm and serenity of the surroundings. We wanted to stay but we were down for tourist stuff so we reluctantly rejoined the rat race outside. Unsurprisingly, we felt well refreshed.

A great place for lunch in the city. Food is always fresh and well priced. Highly recommend.

Café 101 offers a relaxing spot in a busy area. Staff are friendly and the interior has a modern feel.

Excellent place for lunch, coffee or cake. Free wifi, clean toilets.

Had a lovely and healthy lunch buffet in a bright room. Was nice to have free WiFi in between my tours. Lean restrooms and cups with water for all

Cafe 101 is perfectly located between the Tate Modern and St Paul's Cathedral at the North side of the Thames. The Cafe is clean,spacious and airy and can be accessed by stairs or lift from the entrance level. It opens early enough for us commuters to get our daily coffee fix and serves main meals, sandwiches, paninis, salads and snacks throughout the day, both eat-in and take-away. There is a different menu every day for main meals, and is always a vegetarian options. One other review has mentioned paper cups and plates, but this must have been on a busy day as I normally have proper cups and plates. The seating is also good - with choice of small comfy chairs and tables, small round tables or long tables for larger groups. I have seen people having business meetings, as well as families visiting, so it caters for a whole range of people. Staff are very friendly. Wifi is also available.

Very pleasant, perfect location, clean and affordable food for all tastes

I was not confident of finding a good place for a cheap lunch near the City of London, but came across Café 101 as I passed the Salvation Army building on north side of Millennium Bridge. One look at the large open-plan eating area and the menu persuaded me. The choice of lunches is very small, though the range of salads in serve-yourself mode is very good, but in terms of VFM this was as good as it gets. Wifi included! This is not the place for a romantic tête-à-tête, but if you are on a budget and want a relaxing lunch it would be hard to beat this place.

Large cafe with very reasonably priced food in a great location between Tate Modern and St Paul’s Cathedral

A secret; super value, good quality food in a lovely place.

Situé à proximité de la cathédrale Saint Paul, la cafétéria est au niveau -1 du bâtiment. Cuisine simple, choix entre plats chauds (2 types, chili végétarien ou lasagnes lorsque nous sommes passés), salades, sandwichs, soupes, choix de desserts, fruits, cafés... très bon et à un prix très correct.

Great spot with free WiFi, but the seating is a bit bland. It's a good place to meet friends, so long as you're not looking for a "Hipster" coffee experience.

Cafe 101 offers good meal for low prices in the centre of London. Cafe is located near The Millennium Bridge.

A cafe / restaurant that offers good food and beverages at good prices. The place is clean and tidy and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Yet another enjoyable lunch here on the way to Tate Modern. A peaceful modern cafe (good acoustic ceiling?) and friendly environment. The Salvation Army does not intrude even if it is in their HQ. Worth a try.

Paré por aquí para una rápida parada para almorzar y encontré un restaurante de Londres sin precios exorbitantes y buenas opciones en el menú. Muy limpio y el personal muy amable con una exposición gratuita en el otro extremo de la cafetería. Lugar encantador y disfrutamos de lo que teníamos, gracias a la sede del Ejército de Salvación en la catedral de la calle Paul.

A lovely place with plenty of choice and ok prices. We always visit when in the area.

Lord Mayors parade was going on outside but Cafe 101 was like an oasis of quiet and calm!Staff were really nice and friendly and the cafe is huge but cosey at the same time.Hadn't realised it was run by the Salvation army-how did we miss the massive sign on the window!?

Friendly pleasant and ideal for lunch

Great place for healthy lunch. Everything freshly made in house. Friendly staff and excellent coffee.

He visitado antes pero no este año. El bocadillo era tan frío que no era comestible y tuve que llevarlo conmigo para calentarme. Es invierno, así que aumente la temperatura del enfriador de sándwich uno o dos grados. Cuando finalmente di un bocado, el pan estaba mal hecho. Horrible. Las papas fritas que compré en el café no estaban calientes y la quiche estaba tibia. Por favor, caliente su comida o al menos ofrézcala para calentarla en el microondas. Una experiencia muy desagradable. Dudo que vuelva a visitar.

In visita a St. Paul ci siamo fermati per pranzo in questo caffè (in realtà una "mensa" dell'esercito della Salvezza).

Lovely staff, nice environment and good prices!

Spacious, clean, well thought out cafeteria in the Salvation Army building; on the "lower ground" floor but with natural lighting. Open to all as far as I'm aware. Good coffee, modest pricing. Good selection of panini, pastries and the like. Efficient staff. Immaculate loos.

I loved the choice of salads from the 'help yourself' buffet. You can even choose size you want. The cakes also looked delicious. You could see that the food is freshly made. Great value, also.

Great food and handy if you are on your way from St Paul's to Tate Modern?

Nice cafeteria, natural light,ad good food reasonably priced.

Best lentil and spinach soup ever. Friendly people. Thanks.

really authentic som tam. The customer service leaves a little to be desired at at times however. Staff can be rude.

Un petit café très calme, au sous sol du bâtiment de l'armée du salut, au pied du Millenium Bridge. Rien d'exceptionnel, mais on y est bien pour de reposer avant de retourner dans la cohue. On y trouve des jus de fruits pressés de bonne qualité, avec des mélanges originaux. Les toilettes sont particulièrement propres. Toujours utile au milieu d'une journée visite ;)

Llamamos para el desayuno a las 8. 15 de la mañana. Inglés completo para 2 personas £11. 00 aunque las porciones no eran grandes. Aunque en el sótano era luminoso y espacioso y tenía luz natural. A la vista de Pablo y la calle de la puente Millenium.

Reasonably priced and nice food. Nice staff as well.
