Cafe KOKO Camden in Camden

Such a humble and artistic spot to start your night. The lighting and ambience was such a joy. The staff were so friendly, the food and drinks was delicious. I loved the art work around the restaurant.

A really enjoyable act and a venue I enjoy a lot. My only complaint was that I was a bit put off by the staff automatically adding the tip to the bill before handing over the console. The tip was at 20% of the order and the barman did it more than once.

The highlight of this place is that there is nothing better around. And the atmosphere is kind of nice - unique modern decor and stylish vibes.But it was quite a disappointment from beginning to end in all other aspects. Some lowlights: - Our first drinks order round was messed up and we had to correct the waiter a few times - We waited over an hour for the second drinks round and again a few things were forgotten - We ordered 4 of the same dish, to be told 20mins later that they only had 2 servings left (our reservation was at 6 pm), so 2 people had to change their order - 40mins later the food came out but from the 2 same dish orders, only one came and they told us they were wrong, so 1 person was left without a plate and had to re-order something else.. while everyone else had their food - We ordered all starters, one of the olives plate had an olive that missed a chunk, which looked like it could also be a bite. We were told it was damage from the jar at the top.. - Some of the starters were dropped on the table, spilling over our coats and the table- More drinks were dropped behind us - We ordered 2 bottles of red wine, received 3 re-filled glass flasks and were told 'bottle' is the measurement for the serving, not actually referring to a bottle of wine. Side note - the red wine was served super chilled. The food itself was mediocre at best. The focaccia starter was ok, so were the 2 small aubergine slices, the bread with a spread had 0 salt or seasoning so we had to ask for salt to be brought to the table. The pizzas were nothing special and the chicken and lasagna portions tasted fine but were far from filling - the chicken is literally two small drumsticks with a few mushrooms... you have to order at least 2 sides to even say you have had a meal, making it quite pricey. Overall, it's a decent choice as there is nothing else in the area, but if you are willing to walk at least 10 minutes or commute, I recommend you choose another place.

Had a great experience for bottomless brunch, really good service from Angie and Audrey, delicious food and they did a great job at keeping the drinks topped up!

I got a £15 pizza and got charged an additional £11 to add two toppings. Overpriced and very rude/unhelpful staff.

Bar staff was sarcastic and condescending! Why would they?

Pizza legit. Decor legit. Music legit. Service legit.

Went for a listening party. Great vibes, ambiance. Very trendy venue with great space for a variety of events! Would visit again!

We came for a friend's birthday expecting to be able to stay for the dj after dinner, and were disappointed to discover that they actually kick you out after dinner and make you pay £20 to come back in for the music, which is crazy. The place had the look of a bar that you would maybe pay £5-10 entry for, not £20! The food was good but didn't particularly stand out. And considering we actually came to enjoy the vibes and the bar, we were quite disappointed.

Service was really friendly. Not sure of her name but the blonde lady with two nose piercings was really lovely

Shame its so hard to speak to a human in an attempt to book / queries. Sets an expectation of service

Summer was our waitress and was brilliant - really recommend for a fun brunch!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Lovely place, and wonderful service by Abi, thank you for the delightful experience:)

A brilliant find. DJ playing music, a stunning selection of cocktails! Brilliant atmosphere!

Miss leading advert. Trash music. Trash crowd. Trash service. Don’t bother!

Rude bartender in the cafe on Saturday. Made me a margarita that was half full. When I questioned it he held the glass to my face and shouted “taste it”. Also, this place adds 10% automatic service charge on drinks placed at the bar, which is unusual.

staff was offensive. we paid for tickets to come in. a girl at the entrance torn off a bracelet from my hand saying someone gave it to me.. other staff were not allowed to smoke more than 2 min outside. place was crowded and we felt stressed. will not recommend!!

£31.50 for two mimosa’s that were half OJ. Seriously? What a crazy place. It’s fun but not worth it at all!

So went on a hen do Saturday for bottomless brunch it’s was a total sham ! Two hours after we arrived the DJ finally turned up after them just saying he’s on his way. All told that bottomless brunch isn’t actually bottomless you have to pay extras on top and more or less get what you’re given and that’s that ! Staff were quite rude when questioned and I think they called the manager Angelica who was just full of attitude! As I think another party said the best bit is the DJ if he ever turns up ! Wouldn’t recommend it for the price and wouldn’t return far better places in Camden .

Went here with a group of six girls to celebrate my friends birthday, because we’d heard you could eat and then the tables are cleared and it turns into a club. My friend booked ahead and even checked this. At dinner the service was very slow even though it was 3/4 empty (on a Sat nt!) . The food was variable - with some people happy and others very unimpressed and thought the helpings were small. Nobody checked if we wanted desert or coffees and we had to ask for it. Nobody seemed interested as they were packing up the tables all around us and it felt like they wanted us to leave. It was very odd. We quickly ordered an affogato and as we were eating it, they came around asking us to pay and clearly wanted us to go ( what happened to customer service?). As we still had drinks we then left our table and went to sit on the other side to finish our drinks. It was very odd - like a school disco with tables round the edge and a bunch of odd characters sitting there. We were then told we needed to leave because we ‘hadn’t bought a ticket’! Despite us all buying dinner and drinks all night- that wasn’t a good enough reason to stay - we we still had to pay another £20 each to re enter the school disco we were already in. I have never heard anything like it! They were literally kicking out 6 people who were buying lots of drinks and shots and expecting us to pay another £20 to come back in!! When I complained and said what on earth was going on the gay guy got extremely het up and said we had to leave immediately. When I pointed out we’d been there all night and had dinner and drinks and had come to celebrate my friends birthday because we’d heard there was music too- he could not care a less! It was honestly the most bizarre experience of my life - why would you ask 6 girls to leave when they’re spending and already your customers? Weirder still- they had NOBODY else there and nobody queuing to get in either! Quite sad given it was a Saturday night ! They were so rude that we were happy to leave and found much better places to go to up the road instead. Do NOT go here! Appalling service and awful attitude from the staff there who made us all feel unwelcome and upset my friend on her birthday.

It's very crowded, but everyone is dancing slowly.

Loved our experience here whilst visiting Camden. Highly recommend the Don KOKO Friday menu - Mexican and Italian food. So delicious and really reasonable price with two £6 house special cocktails. Really cool decor and atmosphere with live DJ and amazing service with super attentive and lovely staff :)

Great food, atmosphere and really friendly staff! Plenty of vegan options, the Hope and Anchor pizza in particular was amazing!

It was my second time going to Cafe Koko and I had a blast with my friend. The vibe is perfect if you want to actually have a conversation without having to shout, to listen to great classics and on top to take advantage of their drink deals. Both my friend and I had great servers and they really made my friends b- day a great stamp mark of approval. Thanks Summa for your help and your colleagues, they were so helpful and lovely.

For the atmosphere the planned Afrobeat theme was not respected there were not enough Afro sounds

While this bar and cafe has the ambience and quality of a slightly boujier All Bar One...the staff act as if they are guarding Buckingham Palace. I had a reservation but showed up half an hour early. It was fully open but empty. The host acted disgusted at my early arrival and said I could only sit in the bar area. I then tried to order a drink at the bar. Only for one of the three bartenders to bark that they would come to me. I saw him and his comrades stare into the abyss for a good ten minutes until he finally took my order. £11+ for a white wine spritzer!! The lady that took my food order was lovely, the only redeeming grace of this so called establishment. Do not recommend.

I visited this place twice, and was charged more than twice the value of what we’d ordered on both occasions. The fact that it was two different members of staff who overcharged, suggests it’s an established pattern and NOT an error or mistake. To be avoided. If you must go, carefully check your receipts. It would be a lovely place if it wasn’t for this dishonest practice.

Bottomless brunch was very good value. Well organised and was never waiting for food or drinks even though we were a big group. Nice food and good value. Friendly staff too.

Loved the vibe and the friendly staff. Thank you. Paul & Iman

Be aware of “optional” service charge. I visited the bar with a group of friends last week. The space is gorgeous and we enjoyed a lot the live performance. However, we left incredibly disappointed with the bar service. By the end of the night we noticed that the bar staff were adding a service charge to our orders. They were using a card machine that usually offers you the option to include service charge and they were adding before handing the machine to us. I’ve never had the experience of paying service charge when ordering directly from the bar and specially without being notified. We all felt scammed.

Proper bottomless brunch and proper vibez at SO FRESH. Defo recommend! Can’t wait to come back!

Banging pizza and some fun nights to be had there as well. Especially So Fresh So Clean!

Love this place. Saturday nights SO FRESH SO CLEAN - Immaculate vibes

So Fresh So Clean on Saturdays here slaps!!! We had THE BEST time...super friendly crowd & awesome music!! The Menendez Brothers were in FIRRREEEEEEEE!!

GORGEOUS FOOD, lovely setting, lighting, atmosphere. Saturday nights are a vibe at So Fresh So Clean

Had a great time at cafe KOKO, really looked after and food was great. Went to SFSC after and was blown away by the music and vibe in there, will be back asap!

Been to a night called So Fresh So Clean the past two Saturdays- class vibes, music and venue. Highly recommended !

Had the best time at so fresh so clean! What avenue for one of my favourite nights. Staff were amazing, music amazing… can’t wait to get back. Taking friends from the states this Saturday 🙌

Absolutely awesome! Had the best time on Saturday....brunch was amazingggg and So Fresh So Clean after was a serious vibe! Highly recommend!

I went there with my girl mates on Saturday night. We had a great time! There was a night called So Fresh So Clean and their dj was incredible - we danced all night! Great staff and environment. Its our new spot now. Highly recommend!!!

Brilliant venue, the food is amazing but make sure you stay for the music on Saturday nights! Top DJs, brilliant atmosphere and vibe and the music is great! The cocktails are great and the staff are super friendly. Would 100% recommend.

Great vibe and brilliant service! Been on a few nights but Saturday night for So fresh and So Clean is one of my favourite nights in London.

Had a wicked night on Saturday, think it was called So Fresh So Clean or something. Pure vibes and some banging Hip Hop tunes.

Always a pleasure visiting Cafe Koko, the food, the staff and the vibes are always 10/10!!!

I had an absolute blast at So Fresh So Clean, highly recommend for a good night out and for anyone who loves good music and good vibes. This is my regular go to, big shout out to the staff especially who are always lovely!!!

Cafe KOKO is always such a vibe, the music, the food and the staff are so friendly. Would recommend going to a Brunch at KOKO, they know what they are doing!!

One of the best spots in London. Great service, tasty food, phenomenal and innovated drinks menu with £7 drinks on Wednesday's. Great little gem, highly recommend to all.

Saturday night So Fresh So Clean is easily one of the best hip hop nights in London. I've been going out to Hip Hop nights for 20 years and this is night is consistently a vibe.

Saturday Night, So Fresh So Clean, was one of the best nights I’ve had in a long long time. Music was great, vibe was awesome.

Fab bottomless brunch! Delicious food and Audrey really looked after us :)

Had a lovely time in there on a Friday, the food was okay but, had splendid night thanks to the head bartender Rui that was serving us making it a great experience!!

Had an incredible meal before seeing Thundercat, the food was delicious and loved the atmosphere – loads of stunning art, furniture and nice ambient lighting. The staff were lovely too. Will definitely be coming back for more great pizza and anti-pasto.

Went for a quick bite before heading to a gig at KOKO. Our waitress was super attentive, friendly and welcoming. Starters were perfect - the focaccia with the winter tomato and burrata was delicious, followed by a really fresh delica squash and beetroot salad. My partner could not tell that his pizza was plant-based (he went for the hope and anchor, the one with fennel sausage, artichokes + vegan (!!) stracciatella) - so good I had to steal a couple of slices. An ideal spot for a pre-show dinner. Will definitely be returning - next time to try some of the delish looking cocktails..

I came here a few times for pizza before going to gigs at KOKO, but it's become my go-to for dinner out, there's always such a good vibe. The staff are super friendly and attentive and they often seem to have DJs or interesting music stuff going on. The tiramisu is 👌👌👌

DJ was really good, Food was lovely, but was very rushed as at exactly 90 mins on the dot the waitress Audrey rushed over like she was waiting to tell us to take our drinks over to the seating area as our time was up. We made a joke of this but she again said I need your table back. It’s a Nice venue shame about the rushed atmosphere! Wouldn’t go back. Many other brunches with a lot longer time per session.

We had an amazing time, our waitress Summer was incredible and made our first bottomless brunch experience incredible.

Our waitress, Summer, was absolutely amazing during our bottomless brunch. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Amazing music and vibes, and good service.

Came for a. Bottomless brunch, and eas served by Summer. She was amazing! Such a babe and great service, drinks constantly flowing. Definitely recommend!

Would not recommend!!!!! Went for my friends birthday and the bouncers were completely out of order not letting us in when we was queuing up. Awful service would not recommend!!! So rude and didn’t listen to anything we had to say.

Do not recommend. DJ is the best part of the bottomless brunch. Very pricey for what you get. Service was very slow. The food was 3/10 I could cook better. We received burnt pizza… They do not look after their customers. Worst bottomless brunch I have been to. So unhappy to pay! Highly not recommend theres a lot of bottomless brunch in Ldn you can go to.

Went with 8 other people for a friend’s birthday. Two people were a bit late, and we got told we can’t order anything before the group is complete. This is not the norm in London, so would have been something they should have communicated up front. Another thing is that we wanted to hang up a few balloons for a friend’s birthday, and the reaction from staff was borderline aggressive (out of nowhere). If you’re spending 50+ per head for some orange juice, cheap prosecco and eggs, it’d be nice to be able to actually order and not get yelled at. That said, the vibe of the place and the music are great, but would stay clear if you’re with a group of 4+.

Let’s start with the positive. DJ was vibing and setting the scene. Cute atmosphere. You have a sandwich or pizza option and a desert. With free flow Prosecco at £40 each. We ended up being charged £55 each. Overpriced and not worth it. When asked why Prosecco is decanted into a jug waitress said it’s for safety reason. First I heard off! And Prosecco was semi chilled. Staff not able to cope with busy period. Service poor. Avoid. So many other bottomless brunch in London with better option, food quality, proper chilled drinks and service,

Your mate tells you “£17 tickets for KOKO” turns out it’s some random koko spinoff that is essentially a pub with a packed cloakroom so you dancing in a random pub with your jacket on packet with other fools that got mugged off

We each spent £17 to celebrate a friend’s bday. It very underwhelming! Impossible to get drinks. Coat closet was full, and it wasn’t even that late, so we had to carry our coats the entire time. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Choose here if you don't mind waiting 2 hours for sub-par & expensive food served by evasive and untrained staff

Bottomless brunch….our table was 15mins late to top it off then it took 30mins to get a round of drinks. The first hostess with curly hair rude and annoyed with us. The manager was also rude when we made a comment about the drinks taking 30mins. No apologies just rudeness. The table next to us also complained. The food was basically from Iceland. The only polite person was the waitress. Overall we spent £57 each, which was a joke. I wish someone actually apologised for the wait and issues but we were met with aggressive annoyed behaviour

Decent pizza, awkward spot for live music, and confused service. Nice people, but lots of miscommunication amongst the staff. Cocktails are no better than what you’d find in a dive bar.

Francis is the best bouncer in the city hands down, makes the place before you even go inside!

Went to the bottomless brunch on Saturday, my first time there. Food was easy and well made, staff were busy but still kept checking in at the right times and the music was fantastic, can’t stress that enough, it was so lovely seeing a lady behind the decks for once. We got to chill and order more drinks in the bar/lounge area after our reservation time was up, which I really appreciated also.

Visited for a friend’s birthday. Our table for bottomless brunch was for six. I don’t drink, but the venue refused to just allow me to pay for the food I ordered. Out of a table of six people, they couldn’t accommodate the one non-drinker. Staff were rude and careless, and I’ve genuinely never felt so stigmatised since I gave up alcohol. I ended up paying over £45 for a ‘bottomless’ glass of fizzy orange, a pizza and two small scoops of sorbet. Between the wasted money and appalling service, I can’t find much to recommend.

Visited for a friend’s birthday. It was a bottomless brunch booking, which I was nervous about because I don’t drink. Unfortunately, I was right to be anxious because the venue refused to allow me to just pay for the food I ordered, instead of the flat ‘bottomless’ price for unlimited alcohol in the time slot. Out of a table of six people, Cafe Koko couldn’t accommodate one non-drinker! I felt stigmatised as a sober person and like I’d wasted a lot of money. Ended up paying over £45 for a ‘bottomless’ glass of fizzy orange, a pizza and two small scoops of sorbet. It was the opposite of caring and respectful service – not a vibe!

Chilled. Super staff. Limited menu keeps things easy. Good drinks and cocktails. Live music was great 👍

Amazing place!! Went for the james Marriott tour and the wonderful staff told us the BEST place

The ambience was beautiful, staff extremely helpful and cocktails also fantastic. The plant-based pizza "higher power" was so delicious and creamy, you wouldn't have known it was vegan! The truffle mac and cheese was also fantastic :)

Our waitress was absolutely incredible, attentive, genuinely nice, and couldn’t do enough for us. The brunch was fantastic, the music, the ambience, all top notch, but what sold it for us was the staff. Really great bunch, so friendly and welcoming. It really made my friends birthday so much more enjoyable so thank you, definitely coming back! Appreciate the vegetarian gluten free pizza too!

Went there for a gig and it was a comfortable intimate venue, drinks were a reasonable price and the pizza I hadin the bar was spot on. Really liked it.

Dropped in last Friday with my boyfriend and two friends, we were all planning on quiet NYE celebrations and wanted something vibey before the weekend. Food was great, our waiter Kevin was warm and really knew the menu well! Music was perfect, not too loud and the DJ had an amazing selection - we stayed for longer than planned after our meal because of her! Drinks were great - our experience was exactly what we had hoped for.

Me and three friends dined here before ab event at Koko. The food, cocktails, and service were all super impressive. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Cool place to go. Great food and service

Handy for pre KOKO drinks. Bottle of wine and a couple of drinks plus a pizza for 3 people - £75. Service a bit hit and miss. My KOKO 10% discount was missed and noone seemed to be able to sort out my refund. We were offered 3 free drinks but these didnt appear so we left. Pretty disappointed at that.

Bottom brunch on a Saturday was a great vibe. They had a live DJ and everyone was having a good time. Quite generous with the bottomless but service was slow to clear that table and being the bill.

Popped in for a quick drink in the afternoon. Expensive drinks.

I turned up, did I know the quality, absolutely not. A northerner making the treacherous journey 3 hours south was a daunting experience. But this was something special! Flowing drinks, flavoursome pizza and a lovely side of potatoes, what more could a man ask for. Great staff all I can say you outdid yourselves, keep up the great work!

I love Kevin, Kevin is great. Our bottomless was always topped up. I don’t even remember it being empty. Only issue was there was no gluten free pizza bases when two of us were gluten free.

I came with my partner on a Saturday, the music was great. We were served by Audrey who was simply amazing! Such a lovely warm lady who provided 5* service. She is a real gem and an asset to the restaurant. Recommending to all my friends !

Katia is the best server ever. She made our day. This place is incredible.

I rarely give less than 5 stars because i know how much effort is made in hospitality but…this place typifies the phrase form over function. The welcome was great and the layout is superb but the management are not training the servers to provide prompt and efficient service. Our food was mediocre and came late (one hour after being seated) and made us late for the event their organisation was hosting next door We cant blame our waiters - it felt like they were doing lots of running around but suspect that the team were unclear as to the part they played and lacked coordination Id love to see places like this really on the food map as there has clearly been a lot money spent but suspect a bit more love shown to the staff might pass onto the customers x

Slow service, nice pizzas, other main courses small

Not what I expected. Disappointed! "Cafe Koko" clearly advertise a 90's r'n'b bottomless brunch and did NOT play 90's r'n'b! When I brought it to the waiter and managers attention, they forced blame on the "advertisers" and the "DJ" taking no accountability for what the venue clearly promotes on their website and socials to which I would not be recommending this event / restaurant. Please withdraw from false advertising as it is unfair to waste people's money.

I booked into Cafe Koko for bottomless brunch with my friend and my goodness, we were not disappointed. From the minute we walked in the door we had friendly staff members making us feel welcome, taking our orders swiftly and happy to help. Not once did we have to call over a member of staff, they were always circulating and topping us up and the atmosphere was perfection. The music was brilliant and it wasn't overwhelming, which meant that we could still have conversations. Genuinely so happy to have found this absolute gem and we'll certainly be coming back at a later date. Thank you Cafe Koko!

Brunch was good … Kevin is GREAT.

Such a great brunch! Service was just top notch!! Kevin’s service was just brilliant. As was everyone else. Would 100% recommend.

Great pizza and Italian bites. Strong booze selection.

Fantastic lamb pizza, lovely staff. Yum. 🍕

I went to cafe Koko for an album listening party. The cafe turns nicely into a club setting. You can host an event of 100 people comfortably here.

Visited here recently for a work lunch, was pleasantly surprised the food was fantastic, service was great - a little pricey but will return.

Not a 90s rnb brunch. Good food but if you want authentic rnb music dont come here..

Came here for Bottomless Brunch for some friends birthdays and was so disappointed. The service was truly terrible! We waited 30 mins before offered a drink (and even then we had to go to ask someone to serve us). The food was nice but the whole experience really wasn’t. There wasn’t much of an atmosphere and the staff were very very rude. Definitely wouldn’t return nor would I recommend to anyone.

I went to Cafe Koko for their bottomless brunch to celebrate my birthday this past Saturday and I confidently say it’s been one of my best brunch experiences in London. All the food was amazing and the chef even gave us a little tester of the salt beef (highly recommended, as well as the pepperoni pizza, the roasted potatoes which came with this gorgeous spicy Mayo and also the mixed leaf salad we don’t know what was in that dressing but it was amazing!) when we were stuck on what to order. We chose to go with the mimosas (but I was told you could switch if you wanted to) and they were really smooth really yummy and the perfect ratio. More importantly I want to say a big thank you to Nicole, Ashwin & Elizabeth who looked after us. They made the whole experience so enjoyable, they assisted with any questions we had and made sure our cups were never empty. So kind & so patient with us considering there was about 6 of us Absolutely loved it and special shout out to the dJ & whoever was on aux afterwards playing all the music the girls wanted to hear 💕💕 10/10 would deffo recommend
