I visit Piccadilly Waterstones frequently. Today I experienced a shockingly rude and disrespectful service in the underground floor cafe. I was shocked by the rude/sarcastic answer to my question about why food and coffee were served in disposable card boxes and paper cups. Sorry, last time for me.

I’ve always loved visiting London and going to this cafe for the view and a Pimms. I decided to have lunch and had the grilled veggie smashed avo. It was fantastic.

It was a very strange vibe, not a café or a restaurant - it felt like some sort of purgatory. The whole service was a little strange. Also really overpriced. But it was definitely an experience.

We tried a coffee and a chocolate the taste was good approx £9 for 2 people with 1 drink per person; the staff a little rude! The bookstore is undoubtedly spectacular

Nice place located on on the 5th floor of Waterstones Piccadilly, away from the hustle and bustle of the West End. Great view on Westminster and Victorian (if the weather is nice!). The decor could definitely be updated, it's a bit drab and it feels a bit like an old English caf. Christmas decorations were a bit cheap and sparse. Service could also be a bit more attentive. Coffee was good but didn't try food or cakes (cakes were on the expensive side). I would possibly come back for a no-frills experience.

Waited in the queue for half an hour for two cakes. I got them in a paper bag (not even a plate) and had to go back and ask for two forks. This was at 3 on a Sunday and they were clearly understaffed.

He estado aquí en el Café W en el sótano de Waterstones varias veces antes y siempre lo he disfrutado, generalmente está menos concurrido que otras cafeterías en el centro y el café es bueno. Sin embargo, hoy, 1 de febrero de 2020 alrededor de las 3 p.m., un miembro del personal fue tan grosero conmigo y con mi familia, dudo que vuelva.El miembro del personal en cuestión (que llevaba una camisa a rayas) no estaba contento con nuestro largo pedido y comenzó a burlarse de nosotros con sus manos y estaba claramente molesto con nosotros por recoger una naranja (que compramos) antes de pagarla. Este miembro del personal está claramente en el trabajo equivocado: el servicio al cliente claramente no es su pasión.Otro personal estaba claramente avergonzado por el comportamiento de los miembros de este personal cuando se disculparon en su nombre y nos ofrecieron un pastel de cortesía (que rechazamos amablemente).Comimos y bebimos rápidamente y nos fuimos sintiéndonos avergonzados y desagradables. Si no hubiéramos tenido hijos con nosotros, nos habríamos ido en el acto.No volveremos pronto, ya que nos sentimos increíblemente desagradables.

We came for lunch. They have a very good selection of ready made sandwiches, most of them vegetarian. I had mozzarella and tomato with spinach on focaccia served warm. It was excellent quality and not bad value for £5. My coffee was delicious too.

Café Concerto is niet alleen een heel gezellig plek om te verblijven, het ademt ook in volle omvang de Italiaanse achtergrond uit. Prachtige kaart met vele aantrekkelijke gerechten. Goede bediening en aangename sfeer, dit ondanks het feit dat het er bijna altijd druk is. Een aantrekkelijke plek voor een lunch of brunch.

I got food as part of Too Good To Go and everything tasted really good. The staff were great too as they tried their best to accommodate me by making the food as vegetarian as possible

Love it but needs more thought on dietary requirements. Enticing counter dripping with almond frangipane and with stodgy deliciousness but if you need wheat free or nut free best stay away from the food and just get a hot drink. Top ambience and you can sit read or play chess. Toilet not very nice on the lower ground cafe which is a shame when the staff and the feel of it are top notch.

El mobiliario es bastante viejo, esperarías algo un poco más fresco y fresco teniendo en cuenta la ubicación y los precios que pagas. Esperamos algo así como 20 minutos para bebidas (incluido un simple jugo de manzana para nuestro hijo). Finalmente, las bebidas llegaron con frutas secas (tenga en cuenta que pedimos patatas fritas y la camarera no mencionó que en su lugar tenían frutas secas ... ¡un tazón pequeño por el precio de 4!!!!!!!!)Cuento largo: 2 por 1 cóctel, 1 jugo de manzana, patatas fritas y papas fritas. . . . . 29! ! !Nunca volveré a ir allí

He estado en los cafés en Waterstones en Piccadilly varias veces. Sus ofertas de té y pasteles son buenas, incluso tienen la opción de dos pasteles sin gluten, así como un poco de calidad decente, leche de nuez y limón.Pero, necesitan una mejor organización. Las mesas siempre parecen estar sucias y cubiertas por la vajilla usada de otras personas, etc. Ayer visité el Gallery Caf en el entresuelo, al que se llegaba por una estrecha escalera de caracol desde la planta baja. Las señoritas que servían eran agradables, pero una de ellas podría haberse ido y limpiar las mesas que todos necesitaban hacer. Además, no tenían cucharaditas, ni cuchillos ni tenedores, aparentemente, ni servilletas. Comer un poco de naranja y pastel de ciruelas era bastante difícil, por lo tanto, ya que era pegajoso y no tenían cubiertos para ofrecerme. Y no hay limón para mi té.Es una buena oferta en general, pero claramente necesitan un poco más de organización y supervisión.

Ahora es una tradición familiar comprar un libro y luego reunirse en la cafetería. Ambiente perfecto.Me gustaría agregar que el personal trabaja muy duro, hacen hasta que hacen la comida que manipulan las complicadas máquinas de bebidas calientes: observo que cada vez que esto se convierte en una cola lenta y no hay manera de ponerse al día. La señora que estaba frente a mí esperó 7 minutos su pequeño vaso de Sauvignon blanc a la hora del almuerzo, nada de comida, 4, luego esperé 7 minutos mi chocolate caliente (chocolate blanco caliente ahora tristemente fuera del menú, pero la versión normal era buena) un apartamento Blanco y un té 7. 50). Por un tiempo, han estado ofreciendo opciones sin gluten de pastel de polenta de naranja o pastel de torta de chocolate, pero no hay opciones sabrosas o sin chocolate. ¡Un bollo sin gluten sería un maravilloso vendedor de café W! De lo contrario, mantén el buen trabajo y los clientes deben ser pacientes en esa larga cola, el personal está trabajando a toda máquina y te alegrarás de haber esperado una vez que estés sentado en una silla cómoda con tu nuevo libro, una bebida caliente y la paz reina.

Coffee area at the back of store looked nice and pleasant but only excepting card payments. In order to avoid embarrassment walked out. A gentleman behind me also walked out. I did not see any signs up saying only card payments only.. I would of giving a one rating but the coffee and cakes were laid out nicely. Pity that cash customers are discriminated and sent away.

Si quieres comida rápida café, esto probablemente no es para ti. Sin servicio de describirse como medido, pero el punto de este café en el sótano de la librería Cavernosa waterstones es un espacio para descansar, relajarse y leer. La última cosa que quiere la gente es a toda prisa. El personal parecía bajo presión, lo que significaba que no mesas estaban despejadas muy rápidamente, pero eso es lo que sucede en la mayoría de cafeterías del centro de Londres. De lo contrario, el ambiente es bueno, con cómodas sillas y sofás y un montón de espacio, con ningún sentimiento de más mesas llena demasiado cerca. Incluso hay una mesa con un juego de ajedrez. Los sándwiches y sopas son de buena calidad y no demasiado caro, los cafés están bien hechas. Sin duda vienen aquí en el área.

Regular cuando estoy en la ciudad, hago un punto de venir aquí para escapar de las multitudes de Londres. Ha cambiado los propietarios? No tan amable como lo fue una vez, y donde han ido las tartas increíbles! ? Han sido reemplazados con "pijo" y pasteles muffins. Todavía sirven té aquí y sigue siendo un paraíso, pero no tan bueno como una vez fue.

Una muy buena taza de Earl Grey de 2 por £2,90 y una porción muy generosa de frutas del bosque tarta de frangipani que era perfecta. Loos solía ser a las escaleras, pero ahora hay una talla unica individual loo directamente en la cafetería. Creo que sería mejor si esto era para personas de movilidad reducida y original restaurado, no loos eran las mejores, pero era adecuada y razonablemente limpio.

I popped into Waterstones and decided to have a bit of lunch in the basement cafe, I chose a salad which was delicious, lots of healthy ingredients, nicely presented and I ate it while finishing a book I was reading, perfect. All the food seemed to be sourced locally, the salad came from Lunch BXD, in London. The staff were lovely and the cafe had a very relaxed and restful atmosphere, will definitely go again and have another of those wonderful salads, chill and read my book.

Cold, bracing rain outside. Sunday, so the upscale clothing stores on Jermyn Street were closed, despite the January sales. Every good reason to go into Waterstones to browse the books. I'm very glad I discovered the simple little cafe. A nice selection of pastries was available and an assortment of teas. A nice young man took my order and brought the items to my table when the tea was ready. A perfect day to enjoy the view out the window down to people strolling along Jermyn Street.Compared to other locations, the price was very reasonable. It was a good experience, and I would surely do it again.

I must admit I rarely buy new books and if I do I usually use Amazon so I only come here to use the cafe which is excellent. The staff are friendly, chatty and enthusiastic. They make great coffee. The seating is comfortable with books and papers on hand. I think food is a bit limited but the quality of cakes is superb and they are fairly priced. Where else in Piccadilly can you get a large pot of tea for 2 for £2.80! We also shared a sticky Chelsea bun type cake with caramel and nuts that was only £1.60. If you fancy a change from the usual Pret etc and do not want to pay a fortune at the likes of Paul or Richoux come here - you may even buy a book! There is also a loo and a large communal table - probably a good place for a quick business meet.
