Cinnamon in Camden

Don’t take your laptops here on the weekend. Even if you are spending £20 per person, and no-one is waiting to be seated it will only offend the owner. By all means sit for hours reading a book or paper as that’s deemed acceptable. Oh - and you can bring a laptop during week. Or if you are in a non-window facing seat. Or if it’s not just you sitting down. Confused ? So was I. Oh finally if you do question this policy the owner apparently “used to work at the BBC” (the bastion of clarity and common sense) so your questions will not welcomed. I totally respect proprietors right to have their set of rules which I have no problem with. It’s just how they choose to enforce and communicate them here that is strange and opaque. Shame as all other staff were lovely.

This charming corner Cafe was one of the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and came back for more! The owner is lovely and welcoming, the is calming and beautiful with lots of natural details, plants and unique vessels displaying fresh flowers and more. The food was delicious! We especially loved the granola mix with honey and yogurt. Presentation was superb and food quality excellent. Our kids loved the fresh orange juice served in a generous portion in a personal bottle. I highly recommend adding this stop to your travel!

We visited this cafe for brunch at the weekend and I had a wonderful brunch. As someone with dairy and wheat dietary requirements I was able to have the avocado on toast modified. I adored the combination of avocado, vegan feta and pomegranate. It was so tasty I look forward to going back. It's a lovely place to sit outside on a sunny morning.

Sat down for a quick coffee with laptop. Took my order. 10 minutes later the coffee arrives and I was told there’s a no laptop policy - told to put it away or leave. Abandoned coffee and didn’t pay. Coffee is as bad as the service.

Brunch très bon et copieux. Service très agréable. Malgré tout, un peu cher. Nous avons dépensé 55£ (63€) à deux pour un plat un café et un jus..

Great atmosphere, friendly staff - £30 for two scrambled eggs on Toast and coffee! £3 for three slices of tomato. I expect to get robbed in Camden, but not like that! Ridiculous. Back to Sam’s for us, far better value

Such a cute brunch spot in a very sweet village. Amazing gluten free options, so many I couldn’t choose. Super friendly staff and delicious coffee!!

I came here for my family for brunch. After setting for 15 minutes waiting for our order we were told that we have to move to another table at the corner because they want to offer our table to a regular customer. The staff had an attitude and it was disgusting.

Came here after a recommendation. The vibe inside was super crowded and hectic with staff physically running around and shouting at eachother (particularly the female manager). We ordered juices and food. We were not even updated after 30 mins sitting there without receiving anything. Finally when we asked what’s happening, they asked us if we’d not received the juices yet because the machine is broken and I needed to order something else. They then bring me a juice only to take it away with no explanation (but I could see the woman aggressively shouting at the waiter that it wasn’t meant for my table). When we finally got the food it was delicious but the juice only arrived 10 mins into us eating at which point I was already parched. When the bill came they double charged the juice with hardly any apology and the manager was again aggressively shouting and pointed at my table showing that I do have juice, forcing me to have to gesture that I only got one not two. Overall the service was frazzled, unfriendly, disorganised, inefficient, borderline rude and made for such an unpleasant atmosphere in a place that otherwise has great food and looks nice. Won’t be coming back again with that staff there. Not worth it!

It’s great both for breakfast/brunch and for dinner. There is an amazing chef, 3/3 times I had dinner there I was impressed! Friendly staff and good coffee!

We stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The cafe had a pleasant ambiance but my food was extremely disappointing. I ordered the New York Bagel, advertised as smoked streaky bacon, scrambled egg and cheddar cheese. What I actually got was back bacon which was cold, overcooked and dry, the egg was an omelette that tasted as if it had been fried in oil, and there was no cheese. The bagel was dry so asked for sauce which was provided in plastic sachets. No salt or pepper on the table. Service was friendly but slow. On the plus side the orange juice was fresh and the pots of tea good.

I had a pastry and a drink here. The pastry was nice but fairly average but the drink wasn’t very nice or even what I was expecting from the description. The staff were very helpful and nice but there probably ought to be someone ready to greet people arriving as while I was wait waiting to be seated as per the sign, another customer walked past me and got seated so it’s a little chaotic.

Just re-opened in the evening, we were lucky enough to find a table. We had complementary home made bread and home made butter! We shared a scallop starter that was perfectly cooked and had subtle flavours and baby coriander stems - excellent. To follow we had chicken schnitzels which were succulent and tender with a crisp coating. We are familiar with a high quality daytime experience but we now have experienced fine dinning too. We will return again soon.

I visited the shop via the take out coffee window therefore can’t comment on the experience of a sit in meal. I have to commend the barista on the quality of my coffee and the care put into it. So many coffee shops get a flat white wrong but the barista at England’s Lane made it to perfection. He even checked in with me to taste it incase I wanted a little more milk as they didn’t have flat white sized take out cups. Very impressed and will definitely be back for coffee. The best I’ve tried in London yet!

Two brunch dishes we had went down a treat. Was a busy Sunday but the staff were very helpful and accommodated us. The waffles were very good. French toast also. Coffee was good. Would you again.

We have had several good meals here since the relaxation of lockdown - the food is always great , interesting snd well presented . Staff friendly and helpful . A definite plus to have this nearby

Came for brunch after seeing beautiful pictures online. Not coming back. Coffee is horribly bitter and somewhat sour, no sugar will help. Eggs Benedict are essentially an inch-thick briocheslice, bacon covered in black burnt stuff from the pan, eggs clearly cooked in cling film which, when cut, poured water! and egg white all over the plate, taste is not even “ok”. Hollandaise sauce looked like whipped yolk - with bubbles running through it almost like a foam, didn’t eat it. Chorizo hash is pathetic - the sausage itself smells and tastes poor. Reek of pork from both dishes. Seasoning is a whole other story - salt doesn’t exist anymore? Did not order desert after tasting the main dishes. Service is acceptable-ish.

I don't normally write reviews but I honestly can not believe some of the negative reviews I have read here. I have just spent a wonderful evening having dinner here. Staff were so attentive, wonderful food and a lovely atmosphere. I would highly recommend spending an evening here.

I have been going to this cafe for a long time as I live locally. The food is good and I can’t fault it, the coffee is also good but I would guess that at £4.60 a cup (takeaway!) this place gets away with it mainly because of the lack of good competition when it comes to decent coffee.The cakes are really delicious (especially the chocolate one and the coconut and spinach) PROVIDED they are fresh, which really is not always the case. The portion sizes you get are also inconsistent, sometimes generous, sometimes very much lacking especially given the price. After today I won’t be returning there. I asked them to cut me off a slice not from the side as it wasn’t fresh. After some debate, they agreed but then I saw the size of the slice and clearly what they had done was cut a regular slice from the end for me and then got rid of the extensive dry end bit resulting in a very small slice of cake. Some of the staff are lovely - some much less so. And I would suggest you avoid the owner as she is unfriendly, verging on rude.

Nicely located cafe, the service is very poor, waiting long to order and waiting longer to get simple orders. Then the order is either not what you ordered or not done well.

This cafe is a prime example in how NOT to welcome people back from a long lock down.. Haughty , unfriendly, arrogant and altogether a very underwhelming experience .. I’d heard people were queuing to get a table .. why?? It’s nothing special in the slightest and the food on offer is so great either ..

Carefully prepared dishes, home made pastries and exceptional coffee are served by friendly and attentive staff. We were restored by a welcome break in the company of customers clearly enjoying their day. The area is airy and well ventilated, which is essential these days. Ronald

As we arrived at the coffee shop we were promptly seated and our order was taken, so far so good. As we were waiting I decided to use my laptop to follow up some emails, the person in charge of the coffee shop asked us to move to the upper floor where there was space for computers (it was a much smaller space full with single tables (2 people capacity)). We did not see which table was sanitised or if it was cleaned at all, and unfortunately, the upstairs floor was full of fruit flies. To make things worse another customer was seated right next to us, ignoring the appropriate social distancing between tables. Even though there was plenty of space downstairs.For the 30 min we were in there we saw other people on their laptops and no one was asked to move. Ironically, the table which we were originally seated (3 people capacity) remained unoccupied the majority of the time and then was given to a single customer. This was a terrible experience, i felt somewhat excluded and it was completely unnecessary.

Very accommodating staff (we came with a pram and the place is kinda small). Food was lovely and so was the coffee.

Ahora llamado "England's Lane", he comido aquí tres veces desde la gran expansión en la que se unieron a dos propiedades. Ahora hay dos áreas de descanso ubicadas arriba que miran hacia las mesas de abajo, y ahora también hay muchos más asientos en el nivel del suelo. El resultado es que el lugar es incómodamente ruidoso; agregue Adele desde el sistema de sonido y necesitará tapones para los oídos. La comida sigue siendo excelente, sin embargo, el servicio es increíblemente terrible. Los camareros, una niña en particular, son fríos y desatentos. Pero nunca en mi vida una camarera me gritó con molestia "¿Puedo ayudarte? ? ? "(Desde la parte inferior del tramo de escaleras, mientras tomábamos nuestros asientos arriba) y luego hacer que me acerque a la barandilla de la escalera para recibir menús que no podría molestarse en presentarnos. No hay forma de que la gerencia y todos en el restaurante no hayan visto esto. Ah, y luego intentó facturarme con el pedido de otra mesa, que era el doble de lo que era el mío (no imprimen su factura, por lo que no puede verificarla fácilmente).Es una pena para un restaurante con buena comida.

Fantastic brunch spot! Would highly recommend Bonjour Brioche cafe to anybody. Looking forward to our next visit.

Vinimos solo para el brunch, pero podríamos llegar temprano para ellos porque parte del menú comienza después de las 11: 00, pero creo que son las 10: 40, podrían hacer algunas excepciones. . de todos modos pedimos lo que podemos para cuando escribimos en el menú. . ¡la comida es bastante salada para mí! Pero el restaurante estaba decorado bien! ¡Y el pan es demasiado duro!

Lovely place not far from Camden Town! So today we had amazing coffees, a brioche, a bagel and a royale. Food was of a high quality and delicious!!! Service was fast and the staff were just lovely. Highly recommend it!

This is a lovely cafe. The menu was really tempting. So much choice. I had sweetcorn fritters. The tomato jam made the dish really tasty. My husband had a bagel with poached eggs and a refreshing mint cooler juice drink. Great service, quick and friendly.

My daughter and I found this gem one morning while exploring. We had the blueberry pancakes ( Canadian maple syrup!!) and porridge like my mom used to mske!! Awesome

I had the chicken and New York style bagel and a smoothie from Uber eats and to be honest I felt like I had been robbed two bagels and a smoothie came to 25 quid Definitely not value for money

Estuvimos en Brocas Close por una semana y este fue el lugar para nuestro café de la noche. Anteriormente, habíamos probado varias cafeterías y cafés de Londres, pero siempre estábamos decepcionados con el café. ¡El café Bonjour Brioche fue el MEJOR café que encontramos en todo Londres! Sirven a Monmouth y los baristas harán un capuchino perfecto para ti. Solo la amargura correcta, la temperatura correcta y la cantidad correcta de espuma. . . mmmm. . . feliz. . . : -)

Esperamos 45 minutos para recibir comida, incluso después de recordarle al personal en tres ocasiones diferentes que nos faltaba un pedido. Además, subía contra el mostrador para pedir cutterly; Totalmente ignorado y se quedó mirando fijamente la pantalla.No recomendaría, mejor escribir su pedido en lugar de decirlo ya que no lo tomarán en cuenta.

Guiados por TripAdvisor, tomamos el metro y terminamos en una calle concurrida con muchos camiones de construcción. Sin embargo, cuando entramos en el restaurante, esta carretera se transformó en un espejismo y entramos en una sala de desayunos relajada, deslumbrante y acogedora.Excelente uso inteligente del espacio disponible y platos de buena calidad para un desayuno perfecto.Leve influencia turca en el menú para despertar nuestro interés. El café es excelente, el servicio es aún mejor (hubo algunos invitados más exigentes / apresurados presentes que recibieron ayuda instantánea sin preguntas). Hemos gastado 25 para dos personas, y pedí café dos veces. Cinco estrellas.

The salmon eggs benedict was simpy delicious. The portions are large and the atmosphere is very cute. I arrived on a Friday afternoon around 1 pm so not many people were there. Free wi-fi!!

We wanted a nice spot for brunch. When we got their we didn’t even have to wait for a table. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was spot on. I had the most delicious ginger and carrot juice. The Turkish eggs were to die for. Small little find. Definitely would go back their again. Thank you :)

We love this place. The welcome is warm and the service is excellent. Food was absolutely delicious, amazing sourdough and pastries! Can't wait to come back.

Was looking for a nice relaxed brunch, the food was good but service was manic and stress fuelled...

If you live close by this is a nice cafe to drop in for breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea. Good for a trip solo, small group or a family. Some outdoor seating as well.

A truly beautiful cafe with lots of vegan and gluten free options so it's very inclusive for everybody. I love their brunch menu! Their lovely staff always go out of their way to make me feel welcome and I love this place for it.

If your favourite cafe represents your tribe, then mine is Bonjour Brioche, where the owner keeps a loving eye, the chef is jolly, the staff is super helpful and the best sort of Belsize Park denizens gather. It's a cafe not just for every day, but for special occasions, too - I recently ordered a scrumptious coffee walnut birthday cake, which was baked and decorated to order in all its lofty, tasty, butter-creamy glory. Couldn't be more pleased,

La comida era buena, no tengo ninguna queja sobre el almuerzo. Sin embargo, cuando pagamos la factura por separado, nos dimos cuenta de que el director había aplicado un 20% de cargo por servicio a la cuenta sin avisar, que es horrible.

Si estás buscando un delicioso café y comida casera, pan y pasteles, entonces debes probar este lugar! El propietario y el personal son muy atentos y amables. Sus brioche (con mantequilla y queso suave) es increíble y la fritatta es tan delicioso! Sin duda un 5 estrellas!

Little coffee shop, great ambience and good service. Good choices of pastries. Nice place to have a catch up with the friends.

Gorgeous food and fantastic service. Our eggs were great and the cakes are a whole new level of amazing. Will be back very soon!

Un hallazgo fantástico! Excelente comida, excelente servicio y buen ambiente. Éramos un grupo de cuatro para el desayuno y tuvimos nuestros tres perros con nosotros; la cima de los escalones hasta el entresuelo era un lugar perfecto para sentarse y ver el lugar. Pasteles y todos los huevos estaban bastante perfecto. Maravilloso! Sin duda volveremos! !

Love everything about this place; cute decor, including light bulb style glassware, good service and delicious and filling breakfast. Cost for two runs about 25 pounds including coffee, tip.

Este lugar es muy lindo y la comida es deliciosa - hacen un pantalla blanca! Además, el personal es encantador y muy amable. Además, tengo una alergia al maní y fueron capaces de lidiar con él sin ningún problema o complicación (su pan es horneado allí), que siempre es un alivio. Fui dos veces durante mi estancia en Londres y volveremos la próxima vez que esté en la ciudad! !

Visited here for Saturday brunch whilst in London for a couple of days. It was very busy but they managed to squeeze us in at the window. The service was excellent despite it being so crowded and noisy.

Desayuno de calidad y rico con productos naturales. Buen sitio para comenzar una larga jornada en londres. Totalmente recomendable! Zumos muy ricos!

Piccolo bistrot ben arredato e molto rilassante. Le ragazze che lo gestiscono sono estremamente gentili e sorridenti. Brioche squisita. Unica...

La nourriture était bonne, les plats étaient gigantesques, impossible de finir le porridge. Les prix sont légèrement cher mais les...

La comida estaba bien y el precio es razonable, el personal es encantador y es en general un muy lindo lugar a tomar el desayuno!

Este lugar es muy agradable. Atrae a clientes habituales y es (aún) un lujo para el tiempo de inicio en las tardes de viernes. Buena gente mirando desde la ventana con vistas Englands Lane.

¿Es difícil piratear un huevo? Las críticas en tripadvisor mostrar huevos escalfados hermosa, pero eso no es lo que he recibido (ver foto). He huevos escalfados antes y creo que es absolutamente posible con un poco de práctica. Quizás yo les envíe un libro sobre cómo hacerlo. Tuve un huevo bien hecho con mi negro de piedra y una pizca de salsa holandesa. Un brioche bun Top bien hecho con un huevo bien hecho y sin salsa y se han vuelto muy secas.

Para un excelente desayuno, brunch o simplemente un café, este lugar establece el estándar. Es nuestro favorito local. Y nuestro secreto es que, a pesar de un montón de otras panaderías locales, este lugar tiene el mejor pan fermentado de todo el mundo. Obviamente tienen un ingrediente mágico! !

We ordered a birthday cake for my birthday last weekend. I am a big cake fan so have tasted quite a few in my time and I think this might be the best yet! Everyone at the party seemed to like it too.I will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommended!!!

A nice variety of homemade French dishes, fresh juices and in future one more point if the lady who runs the place would adapt a bit more of our highly valued English politeness.

Delicious brunch food, we tried it with my mother and sister on a Sunday after trying the place next door which was packed. We were given a table right away at Brioche Bonjour. The Persian omelette and Turkish eggs were very good. The service was fine although the only slightly annoying thing is that they don't bring the bill to the table.

We have just had the worst experience we have ever had.We are regular customers and had gone here for lunch today for a catch up with some friends.We waited 50 minutes for some scrambled eggs and when we went to pay we told the owner Mohaja how long we had waited for our food, she then verbally abused all 3 of us. When I told her we were regular customers, she said well I've never seen you before, meanwhile the waiter Haydon said how we come every week. She then contradicted herself and said oh yes, you do this scenario every time you come here, you're just trying to get a free meal. She then snatched my debit card and threatened to call the police.She also said that she had come to our table and whilst taking our order, had warned us it was going to be slow. This was not the case, as the lovely waiter had taken our order. This went on for more than half an hour, so you can only imagine the contradiations and rude comments she came out with.A simple, gentle apology is worth a lot more than losing a lot of regular customers as well as potential new customers. Haydon and all the guys there are so lovely and I would highly recommend they don't work for this cafe anymore, as she tried to blame them, when they did nothing wrong and were great. A manager/owner should be able to deal with their customers in an appropriate way. I would highly suggest you stay away from Bonjour Brioche (used to be called cinnamon) in Belsize Park. I really hope the owner sees this.

Walked by in the morning, hungry, and decided to have breakfast here. Good choice! Large selection of varying things- cold stuff like yogurt as well as eggs in many shapes and forms. I had the granola with blueberries and drained yogurt and the toasted banana bread. The granola was crunchy and not too sweet, and went well with the thick yogurt, honey and blueberries. The banana cake was huge, served toasted with a dollop of the thick yogurt, honey and pistachios. Spicy and rich. My husband had the pancakes, which both tasted and looked very good. The OJ was really freshly squeezed, large and very sweet and good. And cappuccinos good too. Ended up paying quite a lot, but mostly because we are tons, not because it is expensive. Great place for breakfast, will for sure be back!

Popped in here for tea and cake and were not disappointed. They had a good selection and we plumped for the flourless chocolate cake (I was curious!) and it was delicious and moist.There is seating both downstairs and on a small mezzanine level upstairs.

After ordering my cappuccino which was great actually, I wanted to work on my laptop but the wifi was extremely slow... After finishing my cappuccino and leaving after 30 min, I suggested to the waitress to maybe check the wifi... She asked me why did I stay for so long if the wifi didn't work properly!? wow!!very disappointed by her attitude since I live in the neighborhood and was planning to make this a regular place for my weekends! Not anymore...

I am lactose intolerant and I ordered a dish which originally had cottage cheese on it and asked them to leave it out. They said it wouldn't be a problem but when the food arrived it still had the cheese on it.When I told the waitress, rather than apologising she looked irritated by the inconvenience and took the dish back to the kitchen. Instead of making a new one she arrived back with the same dish and had tried to (unsuccessfully) scrape of all the cottage cheese off the dish...While mistakes can happen, what bothered me was the waitresses attitude. Being highly intolerant is not a choice and as much as it is an inconvenience for them taking the food back to the kitchen, it is a much greater inconvenience for me if I get sick.

Culinária no estilo 'homemade'. Eggs benedict maravilhosos, cinnamon bread super saboroso. Depois do lanche vá ao Candem Market a pé!

Tucked away in the quiet Steele's Village by Chalk Farm, Bonjour Brioche was a wonderful find! I don't think I've been to any other London coffee shop that makes so many of their own baked goods, salads, cakes, and even fresh salmon filets on site. We loved the red velvet cake and carrot cake, but I will definitely be going back for some salad or fresh bagel soon!

After picking up our daughter from school on a Friday, we start the weekend with a brioche and coffee. So many coffee shops to choose from, and this one ticks the box. Genuinely family friendly rather than trying to 'play the game'. Delicious all day menu with tasty home cooked foods and proper portions. And a fun unforced atmosphere. Nice way to sign off the week and usher in family time.

I love everything about this place. The food is second to none. The avocado salad is amazing. Great juices and coffee. The cakes are out of this world.

I used to go there quite often and was always positively surprised by the quality of food.. Unfortunately it does not seem to be the case anymore, eggs dish to avoid... Tasteless... Hollandaise sauce tasteless... Brioche tasteless... Staff friendly but food is disappointing...

This is a gorgeous place where the food is fresh, organic and all made from scratch. I think these guys work tirelessly to deliver beautiful meals and I appreciate it so much. This cafe truly makes me happy.

The manager/owner brought the wrong order and instead of changing it in advanced asked if we wouldn't mind eating it! So we did. It was a little overpriced but no problem. What annoyed me was that they didn't give us a breakdown of the bill. Just told the total amount to pay. I felt she was a bit pushy so it was my last visit.

I've been there with my partner for a meal. The food is stunning, well presented and...what can I say more? Awesome tasty and a lovely place to stay not only for the food but also for the kindness of the owner and staff. We enjoyed our staying, We were served so fast even if the cafe was really busy. We will certainly come back! :)

Recently changed its name to Bonjour Brioche, this establishment remains popular along England's Lane and thankfully hasn't changed at all since its minor 're-brand'.Staff are friendly and welcoming, they do their own baking on site. Large glass doors on their oven behind the serving bar is always worth a peek to see what's baking.Take a look at their Red Velvet Cake, it's layered and it's large!Always free cake tasting bites on the counter if you want a nibble. Thankfully for me, it's rarely packed so you can pretty much always get seated, outside, inside or upstairs. Fresh mint water is freely available which is always great to see. I think it's very underrated in this location. Breakfasts, lunches and coffee is always consistently good and making it very much worth a try. It does get expensive if, like me, you're frequently working locally, but in this location, I guess that's to be expected.

I wish I knew this little coffee shop before, very beautiful design, good service, delicious food.Nooshin and Mojgam are very kind and helpful.The mix if drinks are brilliant idea and nice omelettes. The Nargesi was great.

Great coffee and fantastic nibbles and friendly staff. The avocado and cottage cheese on toast was perfect ... Manage to resist the other goodies but it was tough. Next time.

Very nice lunch; warm and friendly service, interesting and authentic cuisine on offer. A refreshing change for England's Lane! Quite expensive but healthy portions and on whole far better value that what's on offer across the street. I would certainly go again.

This coffee shop is perfect in everyway. Great, friendly, family run little coffee shop with a warm efficient service. You can have interesting teas, velvety coffees, pastries or eat there and Oh the food is delicious and fresh with a Persian twist. It is by far my favourite coffee shop in London.There are different seating areas to suit every mood. Bohemian and cozy.I travel an hour to be here when I can. I just wish they opened a branch close to me!

In an area filled with cafes, delis and restaurants, this is a favourite of mine. I teach in the area on a Saturday and make a point of stopping by before I start- for a croissant, coffee and an ample carafe of freshly squeezed orange juice. And, re the last review, compared to other places nearby it ain't expensive. On display, there's a range of pastries and delicacies all freshly prepared on the premises and the menu displays a wide choice of interesting hot breakfast and lunch dishes, which, sooner or later I'll try. But meanwhile, the ambience and the staff are welcoming and I'd recommend it strongly.

We first stumbled upon cinnamon during a lunch break. From the window, it looked very cosy, so we thought we'd give it a go. At first glance, the "gluten free cakes" and "soya milk lattes' looked appetising. They were. But, for the price, I expected the savoye, darling. It wasn't that. It was filled with the clientele of the area (yummy mummies). Felt very out of place and it seemed everyone was conformed to some sort of middle class script. It was a very set up ambience. However, I would strongly recommend the place next door, Guccinos. The gentleman who owns it, Amerigo is an amazing person. And it's cheap. So, to sum up, if you're a middle class mother of two, with nothing to do, cinnamon Is the place for you. If not, and you have style, Guccinos next door.
