Cheese & Pepper in City of London, Westminster

Shocking!! I work locally and popped in to grab a toasted sandwich, nearly £7 for a toasted ciabatta with ham, cheese and breaded chicken which turned out to be 2 slices of chicken and once slice of ham in a roll that was microwaved then placed on the panini press by a lady that was handing my food with no gloves and wiping her forehead jn the process whilst mumbling unhappily under breath. I was then asked if I wanted mayo I said yes and the lady then cursed and whinged before literally throwing my sandwich at me, Some bystander was even chuckling in disbelief. Overall spend a £1 more and go bread and truffle where they sell amazing flavour sandwiches with good service. God knows how cheese and salt are still in business

This place is dire. The lettuce in my sandwich loooked about a month old. I'm genuinely shocked at how bad this place is. Bread rolls crumblingly stale and ear watering prices. Avoid.

The new waiter was very racist with me when serving me, I asked him to repeat an ingredient that he asked me if I wanted it because I didn't hear it and he replied "I want to kill someone today" looking at me with anger and irony, when I was at the table eating he arrived and asked which country I was from, when answering he said “It could only be”, next time understand faster to make the order faster. And then he looked me up and down in disgust mood. The Owner and his Portuguese wife were present and did nothing.

Situated in between the Monument to the Great Fire and the Tower of London, this little place is just what one is looking for: a typical English breakfast! Delicious and not that expensive, definitely recommended

Passed by on the way back from the Sky Garden. Amazing toasted sandwich at great value. Highly recommend to anyone in the area

Visited this cafe 2 or 3 times on visits to London. The owner is a lovely chap who always has time to chat, this time talking about the problems within the hospitality business around COVID. His full English breakfast is great and good value for money. These local cafes need supporting and with the food and service as good as this they should be supported. Would definitely recommend this place and will almost certainly return on my next visit wherever I am staying in the city, I would always find time to start my day with a great breakfast, although next time think I will try a mid day meal too. Great place.

Headed here for a sandwich rather than going to the usual chains and glad I did. Truly excellent, flavoursome and fresh.

One of the best small cafes I have visited, brilliant friendly customer service and the food came out extremely quickly and was stunning. Great atmosphere and clean tables and chairs. Would definitely come all the time.

Run by a bunch of friendly staff behind their long counter, a vast array of food fillings for sandwiches, baps rolls etc. Fast efficient, friendly and they also remember their daily regulars. Forget the pre packaged one size fits all. You want mayo no butter no problem - they bake the sandwich as you direct. And at a reasonable price with masses of filling. A treat to find. Fresh food just as you would make yourself but better!! Try them - they’re great.

Delicious lunch food. Sandwich/coffee shop serving hot and cold sandwiches, Rolls, Wraps, baguettes and much more including salad. Lots of choices, very busy but quick service. Not cheap but similar prices that you would pay at Costa, Starbucks etc. Will go back tomorrow.

After visiting the Sky Garden we happened by Cheese and Peppers. Outstanding luck on our part. We were welcomed right in, served a wonderful breakfast and great coffee. The staff were very good to us and made us feel like we were regular customers. Highly Recommend.

I've tried a few time to be sure. But it was the last time. Pasta carbonara has no taste. The bacon is in fact just fat. It is a shame as an Italian restaurant to be not even able to do good pasta...

Went to visit Cheesey Pepper when i recently moved jobs.... i ordered a bacon roll and when he shout out 220 pounds please i nearly fainted!!! .. afterwards i found the funny side as it was only 2.20 and the guy was joking... thanks cheese peppers you made my day!!

What a lucky find! A wide choice including delicious sandwiches, baguette and panini's with a good range of fillings. The full English breakfast is excellent value. In fact it all is Good coffee too. Really inexpensive, especially for London! If you're round Tower Bridge or the Tower of London don't bother with the chains, call in here, you'll get a friendly welcome and excellent service.

Great food for really cheap price! Would highly recommend, and great and very friendly service. Definitely a diamond in the rough!

Good quality of hot sandwiches. Had its climate! Great choice between all modern coffee shops around this one stands out. Tasty! Price adequate to the location. Great staff

Their Italian dishes need more spices. Their tomato sauce is just that, nothing more. But if you add your own, you have a great variety of pasta to choose from.

On our way to the sky gardens and wanted a bite to eat. Always looking for small businesses to eat not chain food. Great little busy place,welcoming and good service. Full English breakfast and scrambled eggs , salmon & avocado tea & coffee under £14.

I popped by along Eastcheap today with my two sons planning to get a sandwich from a supermarket or similar. But then Cheese and Pepper caught my eye, specifically the rather excellent looking sandwiches in their window. So we gave it a go. And I’m...

This place is great. Its like home cooked food in a small café which gives you some respite. Its rustic, a little 70's but decent enough food for what it is and way undercuts the usual chains. Its not the Ritz, but nor does it...

This place does good hearty portions, not the best quality but definitely great for lining your stomach before an alcohol fuelled evening, or the next day to get over you hangover.

Ate here twice on a weekend trip to London, we were staying at the nearby Premier Inn. It's a bit tired decor wise but we had fantastic English breakfast with good tea and toast for £5 each. Served very quickly and with a smile, not...

As one of the few surviving sandwich bars of the 1970s & 80s London, Cheese and Peppers remains very busy purely due to the lack of similar establishments nearby, there is a Greggs next door but Greggs no longer make sandwiches to order. Hence the...

This is a regular place to go to. The food here I have had is always fresh and I have tried enough things here to comment like this. The lunchtime pasta dishes are all good as are the curries. The sandwiches are also generous with...

We were three and had a good full English breakfast for a very reasonnable price (5,50£- tea or coffee included). We were very happy to find this place away from the tourists and fast foods. Full of locals and men in suits (it's in the...

We were visiting the nearby ‘Walkie Talkie’ building and wanted a good breakfast beforehand. Having read other reviews on ‘Trip advisor’ decided on trying the ‘Cheese & Pepper’. The establishment was a lot smaller than I was expecting. No real tables as such. The 4...

Quite humble from the outside and in, the ingredients are nonetheless very fresh and well prepared. Forget the multinational chains spread around the area. Go there instead and indulge yourself with the homemade paninis!

Stopped at a nearby travelodge for a few nights and found this little place, what a find! Excellent breakfast choices at great prices, the husband enjoyed scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and had the scrambled eggs on toast every day as it kept us going...

I thought that there was a McDonalds nearby and was annoyed that it had closed down only to find this little gem. If you can overlook the split chair covers, the broken glass on the insurance frame, the grubby red plastic ketchup bottle, then the...

just a stones throw from our hotel, and open early even on a Sunday morning. I just had the scrambled egg on toast, with a cup of tea. Service good , small establishment, and the prices are very very reasonable for the '' city of...

A favourite with office workers, Cheese & Pepper offers a tasty, good value breakfast toasted bacon sandwich. Limited seating. Quality food.

I've worked 100yds from this place for years and regularly come here at all times if the day. It's quirky, fast moving service is amusing. The food is wholesome, cheap and tasty. A big - and I mean BIG - plateful of steaming hot vegetarian...

I work in an office diagonal to this place. I never bring food from home so always exploring the local lunch spots. This particular place is ALWAYS busy in lunch hour. Their menu offering is huge. It's a cafe style galley shaped place with a...

We stopped here after visiting the sky garden to buy a panini for lunch to take away. Generous portion. Great value.

I eat here two or three times a week. The pasta (about five choices) is a good serve size and good value for money. There is seating for about 15 people. It get's very busy with takeaways especially for their sandwiches, rolls etc.

I had a breakfast special and the portions were sizeable and really cheap which is great, but there was little regard for how I wanted my meal prepared. The service wasn't great and the dining space was small. If you are looking for meal value...

Clean, and not a chain! A dying breed of independent cafes in London. Everything is provided in ample quantity, tastes great, with great prices! Limited seating, but don't let the busy entrance put you off stepping inside.

We only had a tea and cappuccino, which came to £2.70!!! In the middle of London!!! It was too early to eat, but the food looked DELICIOUS.

What else can you say? Full English breakfast, little on the small side but superb value at £5 including toast and coffee.

The City Coffee Lounge is the best of its kind in the City of London. It is a small lounge with a wide range of food. It has the best coffee-maker in the business; the staff are efficient and friendly; Sandwiches, rolls and so on...

I agree with other reviewers - it's great to find a place like this in the City part of London - and open on a Sunday morning through to 2.00 pm. We each had an excellent egg and bacon toasted sandwich - plenty of bacon...

Bustling cosy City lunchtime cafe - great example of an institution that is increasingly a dying breed. In the heart of the City, frequented by office workers and the occasional tourist, who are drawn in by the cosy (i.e. compact) atmosphere and generously filled foccaccias.

Spotted this place on way to my hotel and noted to try in the morning for breakfast. Lovely old style cafe with big food counter. I had a crusty roll with sausage plus a huge cappuccino for £3.10. Great value for money.

I spent a weekend with some family in London and to keep hotel bills down, we chose to find our own breakfast. Therefore, we went looking in hope rather than expectation, and came across this little jewel. The City Coffee Lounge looks from the outside...
