Cafe Phillies in Kensington and Chelsea

Wonderful place to wake up, have a hearty breakfast and start the day. We were here in October and sat outside. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the food, from perfect pochesd eggs to full English breakfast to normal croissants, has something for everyone. Absolute recommendation Edit: two years later, still perfect!!

I recently visited a charming English cafe, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with cozy seating and lovely decor that captured the essence of a traditional English cafe. The menu offered a fantastic selection of classic English fare, including breakfast items, sandwiches, and of course, a variety of teas. I opted for a traditional English breakfast, and it was hearty and satisfying. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the sausage and bacon were flavorful, and the toast was fresh and crispy. I also couldn’t resist trying a slice of homemade cake, which was simply divine—moist and rich with flavor. The cafe’s selection of teas was impressive, and I enjoyed a perfectly brewed Earl Grey that complemented my meal beautifully. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed while also providing helpful recommendations. Overall, this English cafe is a hidden gem, perfect for a cozy meal or a relaxing afternoon tea. I can’t wait to return to explore more of their menu!

Had a decent breakfast at Cafe Phillies. It’s a cute little place in Kensington with plenty of options for lunch. I tried both the Croque Monsieur and omelette with feta and tomato and both were average tasting as I didn’t feel they were unique. The pancakes were quite good though and the berries were fresh and flavorful. However, I am not rushing to go back

Highly recommended small cafe with very friendly, quick service. We were there for breakfast, the avocado sourdough bread, salmon bagel and croissants were just as delicious as the cappuccino.

Really good breakfast and really sympatics guys!

Cude place, short but good menu!

I visited Cafe Phillies because turkish actress Bergüzar Korel has recommended it in the past as one of her favorite places in London, and she was correct. I will certainly go back.

Good for coffee and on a sunny day outside but food is no longer high quality or tasty.

A great place to have a lovely breakfast. Thanks

Excellent shrimp linguine, well seasoned and hearty. The welcome is also good. I highly recommend.

Best place for brkfst in Kensington as well as Eggbreak go early 8am ish to get a table !

Highly recommend their pancakes and halloumi salad

Meal not bad but nothing crazy, a little expensive for what it is. Really long service for just scrambled eggs; and in addition to finish the meal well from small expenses to the obligatory bills.

What truly lovely people run this cafe. I had two of my grandchildren with me, one of whom is gluten intolerant. They had gluten free bread in the kitchen and were happy to make a sandwich for me with it. My other grand child likes cream cheese and this was noticed by a waiter who gave me a wink and brought a pot over for her! Basically nothing was too much trouble - in strong contrast to Gail's round the corner - who could just about manage a chocolate torte for gluten intolerant but couldn't guarantee anything they sold was gluten free.

The best scrambled egg I have had in a long time and excellent professional service. So glad I came. Highly recommended.

The best café I’ve been to, respectful people, amazing work, and there fast. As a Muslim not many people respect us just because we wear the hijab but this café has been treating us like we’re family! Not all people treat us like this but I’m so grateful for coming here I’ll keep this café in mind, wherever I come back to London I’ll always remember this and always come back to this café! Thank you for your service!

Burnt coffee, stale pastries. Couldn’t recommend

We visited the resturant with family for breakfast. It offer different type of healthy food. Their coffee is nice. We didn't like the shakshuka meal because it was full of tomato paste and less eggs.

Delicious, charming, so British!!!

Very good very charming the very pleasant welcome! 5 stars!!

Tucked away just off Kensington High Street beside Meghans this is the best coffee in the area. Good snacks too and very friendly staff

Delicious breakfast and great coffee! Service was great with friendly staff, even got some takeaway fresh baked slices for snacks on our day of site seeing

Excellent breakfast and great service staff

One more best restaurant for breakfast.

Friendly service, very clean and cozy spot for brunch. Coffee is very good. Avocado side is more like an avocado salad with a lot of onion that I didn’t enjoy but everything else was delicious. With non-optional gratuity and taking into account portion sizes, it’s overpriced.

A busy little place with lots of charm and character. Food was tasty and the menu varied.

Bustling busy cafe serving and excelling brunch, you can tell the quality of the ingredients is excellent. Would definitely return!

Excellent service,food very friendly welcoming stuff and ofcourse delicious food every time I go there feel home and family Thank you ☺️

I ordered a flat white and a banana bread and I would definitely recommend them both! They were great and so were the vibes of the cafe as a whole. Our server was also very sweet which made our experience especially enjoyable.

food was spectacular, amazing service and the vibe was sooo good and aesthetic. 10/10 definitely recommend

A local Caffè with great atmosphere. We had a nice breakfast very fresh and tasty. The staff was very friendly. Not on the main street. Has inside seating and outside as well. Next to the Design Museum

Been going here with my family ever since they opened. Definitely our go to breakfast/brunch spot. Food is great, service is excellent and ambiance is comforting. All their food options on the menu are great, I normally go for the full English (personal choice) but would recommend everything. Definitely try this place out if you’re in the neighbourhood.

I have been coming to this place for a while now and had takeaway cofee and many brunches. My favourites are definitely the turkish eggs and steak frite. The owner and team have been nothing short of amazing on every single visit and I have been 30 times for sure. Love the place atmosphere and team great freshly prepared food and thankful for you guys being in my area. Selma

Welcoming cafe, always busy with people. Food was great and the staff were friendly.

Great English Breakfast yesterday morning, we were looking forward to it and we didn't leave disappointed. It was delicious, I enjoyed it!!!

Scrambled eggs with bacon and sour dough was very good

It's hard finding a reasonably priced bistro in this part of town. Cafe Phillies is a little gem, serving excellent egg based brunch dishes. Eggs Benedict and avocado,scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast both highly recommended. With a pot of tea each, £21 a head for brunch. Friendly staff and an international clientele, so great for people watching. It gets busy at lunchtime but the best place in this area

I came here on my birthday for breakfast and it was a lovely experience. It’s very cozy and welcoming vibes from the staff. I ordered scrambled egg with smoked salmon on avocado toast. The eggs were nicely cooked. This definitely a good place to relax and have breakfast.

Wir waren an 4 Tagen im Cafe Phillies frühstücken. Nettes Personal und tolles Essen, war für uns immer der perfekte Start in den Tag. Perfekt!

Sweet little cafe with several options to eat. I recommend the Apple Tarte! I forget to take picture because it was so good!!

Very tasty and lovely breakfast. I recommend it 100%. We went several times there during our stay. The staff is very warm . The place is cosy. Both food and drinks are incredible. The ingredients are fresh.

I just went for a take away coffee but we loved this place. It was cosy and welcoming. Brunch was being served and it looked and smell beautifully. I definitely need to visit it next time I go to Holland park.

I can’t recommend this place enough. They always put a smile on my face. Love them! Memo is the best!

Everything about this place is absolutely lovely! From the atmosphere to the service to the food. Their carrot cake is one of the best I’ve had and matcha is also excellent! Will definitely be coming back :)

Very good breakfast, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. It's very comfortable to sit here.

We had a Full English Breakfast, Coffee and some Pancakes there. The Place was easy to find, also free seats for us to sit down. The Breakfast itself was amazing. The grilled tomatos and especially the mushrooms were sooooo good. The pancakes came with fruits and tasted magic. Our flat white (one with oat milk) rounded it all up. We will See us again once we come back to this beautiful Country! Thx! Eileen and Thorsten from Germany

great place for cakes & coffee, love the outdoor seating

We returned here on a trip back to London, after a year, as we had been so impressed the first time. The staff, the food and wine and the place is simply the best in the Kensington area if not in London. It is fiercely independent and is its strength. Great food, great lunch!

We went due to the good reviews but unfortunately my son's egg benedict was cold and he described the sauce as watery. Very disappointing at £15. My granola though was very nice.

so friendly and so delicious 10/10 great place to go with family, friends, or on your own.

The best mama’s orange and almond cake home made, yummy…. It’s a brain food with very polite manager called Ilir; makes you feel at home. It’s vey cosy, full of art, like a Parisian cafe , unique one and only Phillies Cafe, welcoming staff at the heart of Kensington Holland Park entrance.

Today I dined at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. Located in the best spot, the atmosphere was complemented by high-quality, delicious food. The coffee was outstanding, and both the service and interior maintained impeccable standards. I highly recommend it for a delightful dining experience!

Good location. Great food, high quality, cant complain about it. Coffee and hot chocolate was good. The only downside is that its tiny and I dont like when its table to table in elbow length because then its super crowded and very noisy...it'd be much more relaxed if it was half the amount of tables.

Amazing coffee and croissants, a very cozy interior and warm staff!

The food was amazing and i'm was so glad they served matcha!

A small little café so dear to my heart and a sunday ritual whenever I am in town.

Beautiful find in Kensington. Delicious eggs benedict & savory coffee too;) ☕️☕️☕️

Great well established family run dinner with great food.

Fantastic service and amazing food my family and I travelled from Singapore and this is our first day and breakfast was amazing, not disappointed at all

I haven't been to the café for a long time, but it used to be great. Unfortunately the food I was served today was absolutely awful. I ordered eggs royale and chips. Eggs were undone, with runny egg white, served on two pieces of toasted white bread (!!!) and small slice of salmon. It tasted awful, chips were inedible. My friend's shakshuka looked like it was reheated, definitely not freshly prepared, the top was solid and underneath there was a raw egg white. It looks extremely bad, she was afraid to even try it. Such a shame, that the quality deteriorated so much. We paid for the drinks (my juice was great) and left.

We had a lovely brunch at Phillies where the service and environment were of a high standard. I can heartily recommend!

We had a lovely brunch at Phillies (mushroom and eggs on toast and avocado and eggs on toast respectively). The service and environment were of a high standard and the owner and staff were friendly. I can heartily recommend it.

The pancakes were delicious and the waiter was very kind

Best breakfast, best brunch and nice and cosy for afternoon tea/coffee. I was back again today!

Muy buen desayuno/brunch Sitio pequeño (algo pegadas las mesas)pero acogedor Muy amables

Best breakfast / brunch in the neighborhood! friendly staff, food delicious and cozy place!

We made a last minute reservation for breakfast and we did not regret this! Food was delicious, service was excellent. I would recommend the apple tarte tatin, best apple pie I ever had. I would definitely recommend this place and next time when I am in London I will definitely go there again.

The only problem this place has is that everyone knows how good it is! I have been coming for years and I am glad to see they always hire quality staff and serve good food and drink. They have reinvented themselves several times while staying true to their identity. I love visiting that place when I return to London from time to time. See you soon

Food was terrible. Service inattentive and average, but somewhat warm and passable. Atmosphere was great! Cosy on a cold morning. Shame the food was the worst we’d had in a very long time. Bland and unseasoned, flavourless, very poorly cooked. We ordered simple dishes and they were simply horrible. Wouldn’t order food from here again.

Apple pie came fresh off the oven and stole the show!

Cafe Phillies in Kensington, London, is an absolute gem! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Phillies, and it exceeded all expectations. The charming ambiance, attentive staff, and delectable menu make it a must-visit spot in Kensington. The full English was the best we had in London on this trip. From their perfectly brewed coffee to the mouthwatering pastries, every visit here is a delightful experience. I can't recommend Cafe Phillies enough for a wonderful dining experience in the heart of London. Five stars all the way!

Very poor service. Sit down to a table got a menu and waiting for 15 minutes for someone come to place the order. Three times told the staff I am ready to order, they always said 1 minutes. After 15 minutes just left the Cafe.

This was an exceptional restaurant to eat in. The atmosphere was very captivating and had a very Parisian feel. I ordered a croque monsieur which was absolutely delicious. It had a very nice presentation and was cut into good bite-sized fingers. It had a perfect crunch to the bread, and the perfect proportions or ham to cheese. I recommend this for small children as well. My dad ordered the eggs royale and he said that the poached egg was perfectly cooked, the hollandaise sauce and salmon were very tasty, although the muffin could have been a bit crispier. My mum ordered an egg and avocado toast. She says that the egg was very well cooked (poached egg), the avocado was well flavoured, although there could have been two pieces of bread. My sister ordered a full English breakfast, and she thought that the sausage, bacon, egg, and mushrooms were very good. The mushrooms were very garlicky, and the bread was good as well. She didn’t think the hash brown was as good though, as it was quite dry, and very small. For our drinks, I had a hot chocolate which was delicious and had a very very nice presentation. The green apple juice was exceptional and had a wonderful fresh, sour apple taste. I definitely recommend this although - it’s not a regular apple juice if children are looking to order apple juice. My dads Spanish latte was a delightful discovery and he says he will certainly be having it again. (My mum says her tea had a very nice tea bag). Overall, that was the second time we’ve been, and it was a very satisfactory experience - we will definitely be back and the atmosphere was wonderful. (I went down to the toilet, and personally I love 90s hiphop. The chefs were listening to some dr Dre and snoop dogg and enjoying the music. It made me happy hearing them sing along!)

Very accommodating staff, quick service and good food 👌

Really enjoyed my breakfast here nice vibes, good service ...

Great spot for breakfast with a good menu and friendly people.

Very good coffee place. Friendly staff, testy food.

hervorragendes Lokal! Wir waren hier zum Frühstück, alles war super lecker! Ich hatte das "Full English Breakfast", was hervorragend zubereitet war. Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr schönes Ambiente. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!

Very very cute, cozy and ambient cafe off the main Kensington High Street. Have been coming here for 20?! Years and nothing much has changed. Still the same great service and delicious drinks/food! On a Carnival day we found it very busy and a bit nosy to speak and relax, but we’re very glad we have got a seat without prior reservation! Will come back again on an off day!

Lovely place for friends' gathering

مكان ممتاز للفطور المتاخر الخدمة ممتازة الاجواء رائعة الاكل جيد انصح به لفطور سريع

Lovely coffee. Nice and sunny outside.

The people working there are very friendly, we're from a Spanish speaking country and the guy working there was super nice about it and he knew Spanish. The service was very quick. The food was amazing, I came here expecting the traditional English breakfast to taste insipid, but I was delighted because of how good it was. I'd definitely recommend coming here

Super friendly staff, thumbs up

decent breaky, bit intense. nice interiors. high street has nice shops though, cass art is really fancy. might come back…

The food is amazing The service is fast

Wow! what great restaurant Cafe Phillies so much more than a cafe. Great food! Great service! Great value! Great ambiance! 100% recommended with a local and international clientèle. Go visit, eat and enjoy. See you there soon. Julius Just www justassociate com

Το καλύτερο πρωινό στο Λονδίνο!

Severely overpriced for the experience. got the sourdough with avocado, eggs, feta and paid 16 pounds for that. Definitely not worth it.

美味しいイングリッシュブレックファストが食べられます。店員の人たちも感じが良く、地元の人も集まっている感じでした。

Pour un brunch de qualité avec de mets variés et bien cuisinés, c’est l’endroit à ne pas rater…. Je recommande vivement ce café typique

Lovely coffee shop / restaurant with seating inside and out. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We just had coffees but the food / cakes being served to other customers looked yummy. Reasonably priced too.

One of the best scrambled egg that I had in London!! Service and atmosphere is amazing too. Definitely recommend

الأطباق لم تعجبني فقط الكابتشينو وطلبت موز ووصلني غير مستوي! ، الخدمة طيبة ويوجد روائح دخان من يدخنون بالخارج

What a great find on a trip to London! I would like to go back a few times and try other dishes (unfortunately, found this place during the last few hours of visit to London). Service was excellent from the start - everyone was super polite, food came quickly, there was a person to ask for the bill when we were ready. The food was excellent! Great quality. I had the steak sandwich and it was cooked perfectly to what I ordered. Coffee - perfect. I highly recommend this place! It really isn't easy to find a place with good and caring personnel, fresh and quality food, nice ambiance - the whole package!

Very busy shop, but the service is fast and efficient. The food was served a few minutes after we ordered. I had the Eggs Royal. It tasted fine, but it was cooked on Sliced Bread instead of the traditional muffin for some reasons. As we had brunch over a conversation, the bread ended up getting too soggy and stiff to cut. I still ate it, but didn't quite enjoy it. For a restaurant in Chelsea the prices are at the high end as you would expect. The parking is a bit of nightmare, but there are plenty of paid bays if you don't mind walking for a few minutes. Who would drive to Central London anyway, unless by exception as in my case

Great atmosphere, fantastic service and top class cappuccino and cake for late afternoon

Great find just off Kensington High Street - excellent menu full of choices We would STRONGLY recommend the Granola with fresh fruit and honey

Very nice place for breakfast and lunch, nice menu , food and drinks.
