Crown Cafe in City of London, Westminster

Este es el mejor ejemplo de lo increíble que puede ser la comida en Londres, pero a menudo no lo es. Almuerzo independiente, de alta calidad y delicioso, así como otras comidas. El equipo y amable y apasionado de entregar un excelente servicio y la selección de pan y relleno fue increíble.

Pequeño y sencillo café con excelente comida fresca y excelente servicio amable. Fuimos dos veces para el desayuno y una vez para el almuerzo. La comida (variada) era mejor que la mayoría de los otros lugares en los que comimos. El personal es genial. Lo único que lamentamos es que no pudimos probar todo lo que tienen para ofrecer. MUY RECOMENDABLE

No es de extrañar que este lugar tiene calificaciones tan altas. Fuimos aquí en un sábado ocupado, ya que mis padres hablan del buen servicio y la comida increíble, así como las porciones generosas. El gerente era increíblemente amable y cálido. Las porciones son algunas de las más generosas que he encontrado (esp en Londres) es un gran hallazgo con deliciosa comida y café. ¡Vete!

Gran lugar para un desayuno en grupo antes de nuestro pub crawl. La comida y el servicio eran perfectos y la posición lo hace ideal para reunirse.

Un lugar perfecto para cualquier momento en Londres. Fuimos a desayunar, que era encantador. El café era excelente y el personal exudaba calidez y amabilidad. Todo a un precio razonable también. Sin duda recomiendo

We visited this cafe last week. On entering, the prices on the board behind the counter looked good so we found seats and were given menus that had no prices. I went to go to the counter to check, but the waiter said he could tell me the prices. I asked why there were no prices on the menu and he said ‘good question’ and laughed! He said the tuna melt panninies were £5. We ordered two, a coffee and a can of coke. When we came to pay, we were charged £22! Apparently the panninies were £8 each! It seems that by having no prices on the menu they can charge what they like! I wonder how many tourists get caught out like us?

Great selection of panini and sandwiches as well as all-day British breakfast dishes and more. Well, the tea was a little too strong for me, but I got some extra hot water and a smile. Great value for money.

Best breakfast on the strand! The egg bacon sausage beans and tomato was the best breakfast I had for a long time staff 5 stars

This is the perfect little breakfast, coffee and sandwich shop. It is owned by a Portuguese family who all work in the business. The food is fresh so be patient. It’s worth the wait. and don’t forget about their selection of fresh pastries, which are all amazing. The best part about this place is the pricing. You can’t find a better deal anywhere in central London.

What a great atmosphere and so friendly 10 out of 10 . Would recommend it to anyone just so chilled . Also right in the middle of town.

What a find! Affordable, excellent service and good all arrived quick and hot. We had the escalopes, excellent coffee, marble cake and pastel de nata. Lovely and family run.

Amazing chicken, bacon and avocado sandwich 🥪 lovely people and great coffee! Highly recommend best cafe around strand!

My hotel the Waldorf referred me to this restaurant nearby in theatre district area. A friendly gentleman and staff that made us wonderful breakfasts, gave suggestions to eat and gave generous portions of food to customers. just look at the joy in the his face preparing a breakfast for me. I believe his name was Francisco or Fernando. I wish he had a restaurant in the United States. His personality and his staff were just fabulous. The place was very clean and the prices were very reasonable. May the Lord bless him.

We stayed near Covent Garden and had breakfast here as we wanted to support a local business. Staff are very friendly, the cafe is clean and the food delicious with swift service. Would highly recommend when in London

Everything about this place is excellent. The staff are so warm and welcoming. The food was so good, freshly cooked and very good quality and best of all it is a reasonable price.

We were staying at the Strand Palace and were recommended here for breakfast £38 for four of us amazing The breakfast were really good and served by a really bubbly lady We each had a different breakfast and we were all served together ,hot and excellent

We were on our last morning in London and looking for a cafe for a cooked breakfast and stumbled across the Crown Cafe Bar. Nice breakfast, lovely staff, welcoming owner !

We stopped here yesterday and ordered jacket spuds and beans. I didn't know that a jacket spud could be ruined so badly (I am trying to word this politely). The spud was chewy, tough, cold, and tasteless. I think it was cooked the day prior. Even the cheese tasted like it had been on show for days. The beans or should I say lack of, if more had been put on it may helped by hiding how bad the spud was. I wouldn't go back here if the meal was free.

Stopped for a sandwich and glad we chose this place. Decent sized and very tasty sandwiches. Affordable and really friendly service with a smile. Couldn't fault it.

A little gem! We are staying in London for three nights. This morning will be our third visit. Honest good food, with a smiling and charming staff. Very generous portions. This would absolutely be our regular spot if we lived here.

Great Place for a quick reasonably priced breakfast. Good croissants, omelette and bacon and sausage sandwiches as well as a full English. Orange juice was a pint bottle! Good coffee and tea. The sandwich fillings for lunch looked excellent as well. Very pleased and friendly staff. Definitely recommended.

Visited for lunch, great London cafe, everything fresh, everything made to order, staff very friendly will definitely return.

Cafe run by Portuguese. Crown special is good . Quick service and generous portions. No complaints about the quality of the food. Always a table.

Be very careful no prices on the menu when you sit down, only by the till. I asked for extra hot water to go with my coffee and I was charged £2.00 extra, without being told it would cost extra. All menu options are extra cost to eat in, bagel started at £3.70. Extra £1.00 to eat in, and then extra 60.p to toast. Very sad because I just felt this was so unnecessary, to make money on tourist.

Stopped by here for breakfast. We both had the Crown Special and loved it - so fresh and perfectly cooked. Coffee and tea was delicious. Staff amazing, friendly and efficient. This place is a wee gem 💎

We visited this morning for breakfast, as soon as we entered we were greeted by friendly staff ,we had breakfast which was very nice and very reasonably priced ,we bought some sandwiches for our onward journey , will definitely visit again when next in London,

A wee cafe on The Strand, clean, excellent prompt service, great menu choices for breakfast & extremely affordable.

Came here with extended family years ago and stumbled upon it again this morning. Bright and breezy. Good selection, enough seating, friendly helpful staff. Very efficient, tasty, generous, good value. Apparently it’s changed hands but from our angle all the main features remain and it’s still an enticing functional very useful, amiable cafe.

Excellent friendly staff, good food at good prices. A lovely mix of European and British vibes. Tea was especially good

El desayuno es excelente!! Todo muy bien cocinado y excelente sabor. El personal súper atento y comunicativos. Muy buena relación precio calidad con abundantes porciones.Comí un desayuno y realmente no almorcé de lo llena que me dejo, recién merendé y desayuné al rededor de las 10amLo repetiría sin pensarlo 2 veces

Amazingly helpful staff. Build your own paradise, prawn cocktail, smoked salmon and avocado ciabatta, (I know I'm weird), anything you want. Fresh, tasty and to order. Very reasonably priced.

we had planned to go to see the Lion King but stop off for lunch first of all. As I am gluten-free I looked into food places near the venue beforehand and had chosen to visit this place. My mother is disabled so any arrangements have to be precise. She has a mobility scooter to get along. I had checked here on other listings and the general consensus was that the place is a nice and accessible place. I am sorry but whoever reviewed this place and said that it was wheelchair accessible has never had to manoeuvre a mobility scooter. This place would only accommodate manual wheelchairs.We had just had a long bus ride as we live on the other side of London, so we were looking to have a drink and a bite to eat. We arrived to be greeted by a small step. I then stepped inside and asked if they may have a ramp, to have a head shaken at me and to be told that it was only a small step.Needless to say, this is where my review ends. First impression: Unhelpful staff.

Un día bastante estresante sin un hijo autista de 11 años, primero demora el tren y luego trata desesperadamente de encontrar un lugar para comer con tiempo limitado antes de ver el espectáculo Lion King. . El personal increíble, amable y la comida era excelente. Servicio muy rápido a precios razonables. MUY ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO.

Wat een genot om hier te mogen verblijven. Heerlijke mensen die een heerlijk product maken en serveren. echt vers en meer als genoeg voor de hongerige eter. Gastvrij en behulpzaam, wat je natuurlijk kan verwachten van oorspronkelijke Portugezen.

為了前往皮卡迪利圓環"Piccadilly Circus"又想一路逛逛，走了好一大段路加上天陰，在寒風凜凜下想喝口熱湯以為是奢望，眼前突然出現了這家玻璃窗上寫著 "Soup of the Day"，天意吧！暖暖的菠菜忌廉湯，無言了！

Desayunamos dos baguettes tostadas con aceite y dos café latte por £8.40. El lugar es limpio y la atención es buena. Hay también comida para llevar. Volvería

I work down the road and come here quite often. Really nice food, generous portions and so much choice. Definitely recommend the chilli

Disfrutamos mucho de nuestros desayunos recién preparados con ingredientes de calidad. Dos desayunos Crown English, cada uno con 2 rebanadas de pan tostado, un huevo revuelto sobre pan tostado, tres tés grandes por 17, ¡vale la pena y simplemente delicioso! Los desayunos nos mantuvieron todo el día. La cafetería está bien presentada, limpia y el personal era eficiente y agradable. Situado en el centro a lo largo de The Strand en la esquina de Somerset House y la carretera que conduce al puente de Waterloo. Los almuerzos frescos también se veían geniales. Hazte un favor, no te apegues a las cadenas alimentarias convencionales, prueba este café independiente, ¡no te arrepentirás!

Este es un café sin sentido que sirve excelente comida a excelentes precios. Un hallazgo brillante en el centro de Londres.

This place beats even the buffet breakfast spread that is offered in hotels. I enjoy waking up early and taking a stroll to this cafe at just after 7am. The smell of the breads and the freshly prepared coffee are so inviting. Freshly prepared hot breakfast - my favourites - are on their menu.

Solíamos usar My Tea Shop cerca de London Bridge, Southwark para nuestros desayunos en visitas frecuentes a Londres, pero trágicamente se cerró hace aproximadamente un año para ser reemplazado por una aburrida tienda de kebabs. Por fin hemos encontrado un reemplazo apropiado.

We stayed in London to see a show and was looking for a place to eat breakfast . Good tasty quality food for a fraction of the price. Service was great and clean seating area ... well worth a visit.

This place is an absolute gem. Fresh, exciting food at a totally, affordable price. Cannot think of anything bad to say. Superb.

Lovely place full of atmosphere and fabulous food. Great staff whose humour and banter added to the experience. Popular with the locals and students.

Always call in here for coffee, snacks etc every time we are in London. Great food, engaging staff .....wonderful.

Fantastic find on Trip Advisor while visiting Somerset House.

We were staying nearby and wanted a full breakfast, no frills, no chains. This is a perfect choice, I think the chaps behind the counter were Italian, very friendly. They immediately gave up coffee and we had our bacon and eggs, freshly prepared in no time. 15 quid all in. Lovely.

Íbamos al Show de los Niños Necesitados de Michael Ball en el Savoy Theatre el domingo por la mañana y caminábamos por The Strand con ganas de un desayuno cocinado, un montón de tiendas de café de cadena, pero vimos el Crown Café después de que nos detuviéramos y examinamos a fondo su menú. Un delicioso desayuno caliente y un sándwich de salchicha servido con un delicioso café y todo a un precio razonable. Crown Cafe anuncia su desayuno cocinado más claramente y obtendrá mucho más comercio. . .

A pleasant change from the more well known chains of cafes close by, the service here was good and my chilli / rice tasty. Decent cup of coffee too. Recommend!

Me encanta este lugar e ir allí para desayunar cada vez que puedo. Hacen algo llamado "gran desayuno" que consiste en 2 huevos, una enorme salchicha, 2 tocino, frijoles, tomate, 2 rebanadas de pan tostado y té o café. Todo por menos de 7. Lo mejor es que la calidad de los huevos, el tocino y las salchichas es realmente buena, abundantes, sabrosas y grandes porciones. El personal es encantador y el lugar es pequeño pero ordenado y limpio.

Open from 6 a.m. I had breakfast here twice. Good quality food and, for central London, reasonably priced. Friendly service and looks very clean. I will definitely visit again if I am in the area.

Buen servicio,hablan español,buena comida para tomar allí o para llevar,me ha sorprendido para bien,había gente de paso y gente de la zona que siempre es buena señal.

Crazy expensive lots of hidden charges. The food and coffee was mediocre at best with a dry old salad. Poslished off with a rude waitress. never again .

Una cafetería encantadora con una selección de sándwiches/relleno roll hizo mientras espera. Hay comida caliente. Una selección de bebidas calientes y frías. Sólo marcó 3 en la caja de comida, pero me cuadro pareció limpio y ordenado. La comida era fresca.

Been twice. Hugely satisfying ciabatta/baguettes. Vast amount of filling. Smoked salmon £5. Smoked salmon with sumptuous prawn cocktail £6. Both to take away but can't praise highly enough.

My wife and I popped in this cafe for mid-afternoon lunch on Thursday and were pleasantly surprised at the choice on offer and the reasonable prices for this area. The hot meals we ordered - a vegetable pasta and a chilli con carne - arrived promptly and were very good quality, and came in good size portions. We won’t hesitate to use this cafe again when we’re next in the Aldwych area.

I had high hopes for this hole-in-the-wall for some late breakfast sandwiches. The workers were friendly, seemed Portuguese maybe though I didn't see any of that food available. Sandwiches were freshly prepared from mostly previously cooked ingredients. I was expecting the egg sandwich to be hot, but maybe I misunderstood it was sort of an egg salad. "Crispy bacon sandwich" was not crispy, limp, previously fried bacon.

Das „Café“ ist hauptsächlich auf Paninis ausgelegt.

Por último, una buena taza de café. No demasiado fuertes o quemados, sabía de café y realmente me encantó. Si no hubiera sido con amigos para el almuerzo sin duda hubiera probado la comida también. No es un café, simplemente un buen café antiguo haciendo lo mejor. cafés Buena comida y buenas bebidas. Ganas de volver cuando esté en Londres.

Good food and good service. After 17 years of using this establishment with lots of new comers opening up around it you still can't beat its simple and excellent service.

Good cafe to pick up a fresh sandwich or panini or there is an option to dine in also. Many food options available including salads and pasta too. Efficient and friendly service.

Encore une adresse indépendante prise via Trip Advisor...et que nous n'avons pas été déçu.....situé sur un coin très achalandé de la rue Strand et visité par les travailleurs du coin...un signe qui ne ment pas...nous nous y sommes installer pour le petit déjeuner...quelque table disponible mais nous nous sommes installer à la fenêtre sur de petits tabourets en surveillant le rythme de la rue....petit boui boui portugais...mais oh combien savoureux...mon conjoint a pris des œufs brouillés et moi un bagel avec fromage à la crème...le service est impeccable et très chaleureux.

It's great to find an independent cafe just a stones throw from Covent Garden. Great range of sandwiches, baked potatoes, hot food at value for money in an other pricy area of London. Large sitting area, very friendly staff & quick service.

Queríamos tener una taza de café antes de ir al teatro, pero esta es difícil de encontrar. Sí, hay un Starbucks y similares, pero queríamos un buen café y un verdadero pastel - nada de "plástico". Así que después de caminar un poco nos encontramos con la Corona Cafe.

Aburridos de Pret y comer y todo el resto? Puedes conseguir un buen panini aquí en la esquina de la Ribera y el Puente de Waterloo y no una mala taza. Como caffs ir, un caff, pero en ocasiones he pasado por allí para tomar algo barato y alegre para descartar el apetito, nunca me decepcionó. Un centro de ciudad vieja fiable.

We stayed at the Strand Palace hotel and were looking for somewhere to have breakfast but it looked like all there was were Starbucks, Costas and the like and we definitely didn't want those. We turned a corner and there was the Crown Cafe so we thought we would give it a try. So glad we did. We had an excellent breakfast, really quick service, great value and the place was spotless. I would definitely recommend this lovely little cafe. I'm only sorry we were going to be out and about all day otherwise I would have bought some of their delicious looking cakes.

Crown Cafe terletak di kawasan Strand, di jantung kota London dan dapat diakses dari stasiun kereta bawah tanah Temple. Makanan yang disajikan adalah menu sarapan tradisional Inggris dan juga ragam roti lapis dengan bahan yang masih segar. Selain itu pengunjung juga dapat menikmati berbagai kopi khas Italia dengan resep tradisional. Harga yang ditawarkan tergolong murah dengan pelayanan yang sangat ramah.

We visited the Crown Cafe Bar whilst going to the theatre and found this to be good value, especially for its location. The food was lovely and there was so much choice. They serve a range of hot and cold choices, however, we went for a hot chilli con carne and were not disappointed. The food was great and we got such a big portion. Would recommend a visit, especially if you are short on time.

Great little cafe producing excellent meals and takeaway. It has a certain vibe akin to the Seinfeld's Soup Naz episode, which makes it all the more delicious to visit!

These guys can make great sandwiches. The workers were super friendly and they knew what all their regulars wanted each morning as soon as they walked in the door. I highly recommend trying these guy out.

Ate here twice in recent visit to London. First was to grab a coffee and cake the afternoon we arrived. It was as good, if not better, than I remembered. Went back for lunch the following day. It is just a basic deli type café with a few tables or a take away. All the food can be seen in the deli counter and you are spoilt for choice with all the various fillings. Everything is made to order and done just the way you want it. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

After the Stockpot closed in Old Compton street I read that a good replacement was the Crown Cafe. On visiting I had the most disgusting meal I have had for a long time - lasagne with what I presume was a salad I.e. one slice of cucumber and half a lettuce leaf. I struggled to eat it and didn't want to cause offence by leaving it. My mistake I should have just paid and left.

The Crown Cafe offered a wide range of tasty food from filled jacket potatoes to yummy paninis, all of which you can eat in or take away! Also has a great vegetarian selection! The staff are the friendliest! overall a really lovely, tasty meal!

After a hectic day it was great to find good food at a great price. It does get busy and the menu is not extensive, but if you are hungry and need a decent cuppa this is your place. Much better that the big chain places nearby. Quick service and friendly staff.

Ticks all the boxes for a quick lunch. Huge choice of fillings, deep filled sandwiches, fast, fairly priced and friendly.

great place even if a bit rude sometimes, worth going and forgetting about one rude person in the staff , food is well done , go and have a breakfast

It is one of the best places to have breakfast (take away too). Many types of freshly-made tasty panini. Very friendly staff and fast service! Recommended!

We were in a hurry in the morning and we were looking for a place where we could have a quick bite and freshen ourselves . We had mozzarella and tomato Panini with aubergine sliced in between, something which I had never had before. There is a large selection of breakfast , salads and pasta, but unfortunately we didn't have the time to taste these. Overall a decent place to fill your tummy on the run.

I attended King's College down the street for several years and this was always my favorite place in the neighborhood for lunch. The panini are tremendous and the other sandwiches are great too. It's excellent value considering it's only a little bit more expensive than the chain made sandwiches at Pret a Manger down the street. The staff are friendly and helpful. Coffee is decent. It can get a little hectic at lunch time on weekdays, but that's most places in this area.

Stayed in St Pauls and walked all the way to the Strand early one Sunday morning without finding anywhere that actually cooked food. There were a lot that did pre prepared rubbish that gets put in the microwave. We had our grand daughter with us who just wanted toast. There was nowhere. Then we stumbled across this place by accident and what a little gem it is. Staff were so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us. Freshly cooked food and tasted great. Highly recommended

Having been here before for breakfast we called in for a sandwich at lunchtime. Great selection of fillings available. Each sandwich made to order. Really good coffee too.Why use one of the chains? This is far better. Great value too.

Frankly I'm addicted to them. Well cooked bacon, brown toast, butter and brown sauce. Excellent with a hangover, just as good without. They also do great coronation chicken sandwiches for lunch and paninis

Just had lunch here before the theatre. Were heading for Pret a Manger next door but were put off by the crowds so ducked in here instead. So glad we did. Food, prices and service was superb. An absolute little gem of a place. Visit if you can.

So glad the Somerset Ho cafes were closed, we called in here for a coffee before the gallery opened and had one of the best cus of coffee i have ever had, friendly (and very beautiful) staff.Came back for a quick lunch and enjoyed excellent cafe food at a good price. Clean well looked after will call in again if i am this way

A traditional Italian run cafe which are becoming more and more rare in London as rents rise and family run places can no longer afford them. Better value than the big chains and friendly service. Food portions also on the generous size.
