Crumpets in City of London, Westminster

Very small and quite packed little place for breakfast. Came here after being recommended it. Waited in a queue that was forming out of the door. Only one person was taking orders and then making the coffee for that order before continuing on. I'd have thought especially with the other 4 staff members that they might have done that to support the one main server. We sat outside and the weather was gorgeous. Food was alright, nothing to shout about. Downside the cafe doesn't have any toilets so the nearest is actually in the Park for a cost of 20p. Just remember

Absolutely horrible. When I said I had a nut allergy, they kicked me out of the store. What horrible customer service. They can’t even deal with allergies, so they just kick you out. Never eat here this place sucks.

Small cafe where you can find a good English breakfast at an excellent price.

very delicious matcha white chocolate and not overpriced

Excellent English breakfast and magnificent Nutella crumpets!!!

They definitely have a service approach that does not like tourists. They are rude. The interior of the shop has a strong oil odor and not much attention was paid to its cleanliness. 6 crumpets cost 28 gbp.

Tasty, very reasonably priced breakfast with classic italian style coffee. Menu on website is up to date.

Amazing creme brulee latte!! ,the service is great.

Very good breakfast and friendly service!

Went at 14:30 and they had already closed despite stating that they close at 15:00.

The place to go if you like Crumpets!

Fantastic little place for a nice breakfast. The staff is lovely, the food was delicious and fresh and the prices are fair. Beautiful coffee and quick service 👌🏻

Very delicious Crème Brûlée latte! Great selection of pastries and unusual lattes! Oat and soya milk available ☁️

We came for a nice traditional English breakfast, and the coffee was delicious!

A MUST have breakfast at Crumpets during a visit to London. In addition to talking about a more reasonable price than in other establishments, cleanliness and an excellent location, of course the best thing is its food. We opted for eggs Benedict (impressive) and the English muffin special (a crumpet with egg, cheese and bacon that was to die for). They prepare the food at the moment and in sight. The place is very cozy. We recommend it 100%.

Some of the best mochas in London!

Delicious crumpets and amazing coffee. Super friendly staff. Good proces and big range of choices. Very busy though and sells out fast.

You’d think it’d be easy to find a English traditional food like crumpets in London but you’d be wrong. I had to go out of my way for this place (twice!) but worth it. First attempt, they were sold out of crumpets so I had to try again.Be aware they close at 3 so if you’re looking for crumpets at 2 they will likely be sold out. Went with their butter and the jam. Place was busy but not too loud.

What a great place! Went there yesterday shortly before closing and most of items or the menu were sold out - despite that the staff did everything to accommodate us. Prices for London are great and fair - portion sizes also very satisfying! our 5 yo got sad as sweet crumpets were unavailable and staff seeing that magically bring a bowl of ice cream for her - what a customer service! Definitely going back there :-) Lovely people

Absolutely Terrible, took more than 25 minutes to bring me Breakfast when there was barely a soul in there and then it was half under cooked. Avoid this rip off of a place

This place is banging. Delicious crumpets and options available for breakfast and brunch. Nicely priced and great to pop to with my sweetheart. What a great breakfast cafe option :)

The almond croissant was the best ever! Great menu too!

Great coffee and food with a cozy atmosphere. Very friendly service from Shelby. Good value! We had flat whites and a toasted sandwich freshly made.

De passage en famille aujourd’hui et une agréable surprise. Les produits sont frais et faits à la demande. Les paninis et crumpets sont délicieux et le prix est raisonnable. Nous avons passé un super moment. Je vous recommande vivement cette adresse près de Buckingham !!

The best eggs Benedict we've ever had! Great little spot near Buckingham Palace with a nice variety.

Food is perfect, staff super sound and helpful. Felt very welcome. Thank you🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Need to keep wringing, great location near Buckingham palace 🙌

Ideally placed for our trip to Buckingham Palace for the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards Morning. Excellent breakfast cobs with a top-notch coffee.

Cute little cafe with good crumpets and cappuccino. Nice owners as well.

Stopped in to pick up a drink, door was open, sign indicated they were open, customers sitting outside. Walked in, ordered, only to hear another member of staff mumble to the staff member serving me “I’ve switched the machine off. We’re closed” No alternative was offered - would I have liked a cold drink perhaps? Recommended that perhaps they turn the sign to closed to indicate when they’re no longer serving.

Breakfast is nice, good quality, well presented but you have to ask for condiments which is annoying, staff ain’t overly friendly

My family and I have eaten breakfast here twice in last week. Not only was the food and service perfect, the price was right. There are not many choices for breakfast in this neighborhood. This place delivers value and solid breakfast. Its simple so if that is a problem you should look elsewhere....but if looking for a solid breakfast for a fair price, this is the place.

Crumpets es EL lugar de Londres que tenés que conocer. Excelente comida, genuina. Muy amables en la atención y muy buenos precios.

Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce restaurant et nous avons pas regretté notre choix . Petit déjeuner, crumpet au beurre et des crumpet au nutella . On s’est régalés

Good food at reasonable prices, well worth a detour from Buckingham palace. Like many London cafés, there are no toilets though

Attempted to come here after some research. Website stated it was open on Sunday morning. Alas, it was shut. Not ideal really.

I had crumpets with poached eggs, and tea. Crumpets nothing special - just warmed up, not toasted. Had to hunt around for salt and pepper. Service fairly quick but not particularly friendly.

First visit today shows promise as being a regular place to go. Good coffee and Panni and Service good.

This little gem is a must to visit,if you are in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace we came upon it after watching the changing of the guard. It has a large menu and at unbelievable prices for London. The food is delicious and fresh and the owner is a gentleman full of generosity and kindness. If you like something hot and spicy I can throughly recommend the Sri Lankan omelette.

Great place for breakfast tucked away near St James Hotel. Reasonable prices and good choice including baps, crumpets and sandwiches as well as usual English breakfasts. Nice mugs of tea or coffee. Not unfriendly staff.

Great food, great service, coffee is excellent, prices are very reasonable, large choice of food

Nous étions en séjour à Londres, nous avons adorés le Breakfirst servit dans ce restaurant. Nous avons vraiment prit plaisir à déguster ce plat typique dans ce lieu. Merci beaucoup, accueil très chaleureux.

Proper British cafe near Buckingham Palace . I had a Full English and my wife had toast and jam. It set us up perfectly for the day. Would recommend if you're visiting London

Great little breakfast or sandwich stop for the family.

Nice food, good service in a nice part of Westminster.

In planning our trip, I tried to locate cafes near attractions. This one fit the bill nicely to see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. It is just around the corner from the gate. They have a great selection of breakfast items that my young adult kids & I enjoyed. The cafe has around 8 - 10 tables for seating (inside and out). Highly recommend for a nice sit down breakfast before heading out for the day.

Great find close to Buckingham Palace and Victoria train station. Excellent selection of lunch items, the tricolore panini was delicious - very fresh ingredients and oregano bread. Highly recommend as an affordable lunch/brunch place off the beaten track

Great breakfast here today. Good choice on menu. Staff welcoming and helpful. Food nicely cooked. Didn't have to wait too long for our meal. Popular place. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

The ownership are very unfriendly + thee serve Very very bad coffee + there is no toilet in the café

This little Sri Lankan cafe is amazing. Come here frequently and always have the special which changes daily. Always good recipes that you do t get anywhere else. amazing

First time there, took some friends visiting for the first time they wanted crumpets and they loved them. I must say the customer service was top notch, they do not have a toilet for customers. One of staff offered to refund my friends money so she could buy a coffee at place next door and use their toilet. We forgot all about it and as we walked out the door someone came chasing after us to give her the money.

Was very accommodating of my mother's milk allergy. Soy drinks were blended completely separately from dairy drinks. The cappuccino I had here was quite good.

Cappuccinos weren’t the best and the service was a mixture of good and not so good. They did make an effort to accommodate our special request, which was nice.

A good place for lunch in Victoria. My kids really enjoyed the pasta. And I enjoyed my panini. Worth making your way to.

Decent breakfast menu for a reasonable price.

Segunda visita mientras trabajaba en la zona. La última vez tuve un chorizo fantástico y algo de chapata, que era el caso. Pedimos capuchino y el desayuno inglés completo esta vez. El servicio fue cortés y rápido. 2 tostadas con mantequilla 2 huevo frito, 2 hash brown, 2 salchichas, frijoles y tocino. ¡Todo fue realmente bueno en un plato de tamaño decente para que no tuvieras que luchar para evitarlo! Todo estaba bien preparado y sabroso. Las setas lo habrían hecho increíble. Para Londres, un precio decente también. La próxima vez que esté en esa área por negocios volveré otra vez.

Fuimos a desayunar más rápido pero el personal no parecía interesado, así que nos fuimos. Más tarde fuimos a tomar un café pero deseamos no haberlo hecho.Las rosquillas son grandes pero pesadas, sin mermelada, pero con Nutella adentro.El café podría haber estado bien si no estuviera casi frío.El personal solo mostró signos de amabilidad cuando entró un perro grande. Entonces el perro saltó con sus patas por todo el mostrador. Valoración de higiene ****. Probablemente debería reducirse.

Food was quite tasty and staff were friendly which made for a lovely English breakfast.

I wanted to try some crumpets while on my first trip to England and this was a great place to do so! We were planning on watching the changing of the guard and our hotel is steps from Buckingham Palace. This restaurant also is right around the corner from the palace so it was the perfect stop for breakfast. I had the smoked salmon crumpet and my husband had the eggs benedict crumpet. We both loved the texture of a crumpet compared to its American cousin the English Muffin. The food was made quickly and tasted great. I’d definitely recommend it for breakfast if you are in the area and looking for a quick bite to eat.

Necesitaba un café decente y esto fue recomendado por los trabajadores de las oficinas locales. El café era bueno, al igual que la tarta de crema portuguesa, pero el servicio era eficiente pero lo más hostil posible. Casi como si estuviera interrumpiendo su día atreviéndome a aventurarme. Sin embargo, el café era bueno y un buen lugar para sentarse y ver pasar el mundo.

Vine aquí después del cambio de guardia en el palacio de Buckingham para un buen brunch, muy decepcionado. Pedí un café con leche al que básicamente se arrojó la leche. ¡Hice un café instantáneo hecho por un niño que sabe mejor! El café estaba tan quemado que no podía tomar más de dos sorbos.Pedí un bap de desayuno. . No estoy muy seguro de cómo se verían los hongos en Londres, ¡pero se veían viejos!

Piccolo locale a due passi da St. James's Park, spesso affollato e a ragione: l'offerta è varia e gustosa, le pietanze sono preparate fresche al momento e i prezzi sono onesti. I crumpets hanno una consistenza particolare, morbida e quasi spugnosa, il gusto è delicato e non copre quello della farcitura scelta. Ci tornerò volentieri.

Georgeous British breakfast! Mushrooms would be great

We stayed in a sweet AirBnB around the corner and just stumbled upon this place on our way to the train station.

Stopped in after Buckingham Palace. We had panino, croissant for the kids. My full English was proper caff food but all well cooked, crisp toast and hash browns, which isn’t always a given. Coffee was a 10 out of 10.

Popped in here as the heavens opened, was only going to have a coffee till we saw the donuts! They are massive! The rest of the food looked amazing too, nice busy little coffee shop with plenty to offer!

Food was delicious, coffee is fresh, and service was quick! We couldn’t ask for more! Enough space for 5 adults with room to spare. Also, crumpets are delicious!

Across from out hotel. I stopped in for quick breakfasts to go and brought them back. They were great with nothing leftover.

Coffee here is strong, fresh, hot and perfect. Best we had on our trip... Breakfast well cooked and good value. Service was friendly and efficient ..

We stopped here for Sunday brunch after good recommendations. You can basically choose what you like. Perfert poached eggs on toast with avocado and bacon. Good value for central London and speedy service too.

Visitamos para desayunar mientras parábamos en hotel local.

Pessoal atendimento muito mal educados!!

We had breakfast here a couple of mornings and it was good. Not a very friendly staff working there but the food was decent and it was close to our hotel where we were staying.

Great customer service, food top notch. Highly advise to anyone in the area after either a light bite, or event just a coffee.

Fabulous little café. Had a delicious full English breakfast.

Cute little panini joint off of buckingham gate HOWEVER... after I ordered and received my food I asked for the toilet to wash my and guess what... They don’t have one.... so I wonder where do the panini makers wash their hands??? Che schifo!!!

Cozy little cafe. Prices are reasonable. My florentina panini was delicious (cooked well, tasty, and fresh bread). I had crumpets and they were very good, but it was my first time ever having crumpets so take my opinion with a pinch of salt.

Less than 5 mins from Buck Palace in a quiet Street away from the tourist hotspot. Good variety of sandwiches, toasties, breakfasts. Nice Segafredo coffee and all reasonably priced in view of location. Good for a quick fix of coffee or food.

We went to this little cafe after watching the changing of guards. Given its convenient location (near Buckingham Palace) and the rainy weather, it was full of people. Reasonably priced, their food were good and served fast. Overall happy with what we got.

Estábamos en la calle taj James Court y decidimos venir aquí para el desayuno (terminamos comiendo el desayuno aquí dos veces), está a 2 minutos a pie desde el hotel y mucho más razonable que el hotel para el desayuno!

Petit repas de midi en famille, pas grand chose à dire, si ce n'est que vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. C'est bon et dans les prix.

Average food, nothing special and very over priced for what it is

We were staying at the Taj St James’ place who wanted a ridiculous amount of money for breakfast so we went on the look out for somewhere cheaper. Crumpets was literally at the top of the road and only a 5 min walk from Buckingham Palace so fitted the bill perfectly. Great variety of breakfast choices from crumpets (of course) through to a full English. Service was quick and friendly and the coffee was excellent. Eat in or take away options available, including a full variety of sandwiches, baguettes, baps etc. If you are a tourist visiting this part of London give Crumpets a go, its so close to Buckingham palace but nowhere near the sort of prices you will normally pay in this area.

I am really surprised they were voted 'best crumpets in London'.....I did not care for them at all. I don't know what there other items taste like as we only had the crumpets.

Si estas cerca del Palacio de Buckingham y después del cambio de guardia te da hambre, no lo dudes a este restaurante debes llegar. Desayuno completo desde 7 libras, con excelente trato, un lugar limpio y buen sazón

dålig service, dålig kvalitet, smutsig plats, mycket gamla munkar!!!!

First of all, it was only one restaurant where had to wait for a waitress to take order 'till she ended "small talk" with her friends on other table. How do i know she was talking with friends? Coz the conversation was loud and was about evening plans of those pack.

My husband and I went for breakfast so I could try a crumpet, which wasn't easy to find in London, oddly enough. My husband had the breakfast sandwich. Both of us were very happy with our breakfast. This quaint little cafe is a short walk from Buckminster Palace and is worth the trip.

Authentic British breakfast for a very affordable price. One of the few cafes in the area that isn't overpriced. Staff was friendly and even gave us suggestions on places to visit during our stay! Highly recommend. The Belgium chocolate tart is MUST.

My girlfriend and I had just arrived in London and we were starving. We decided to enter the first restaurant / foodstore we would encounter and that was 'Crumpets' (a griddle cake made from flour and yeast for those who do not know it). We both ordered soup and some sandwiches with tuna and chicken curry. Both tasted very nicely, a pity that the soup was a bit on the cold side. 17 pounds is quite a bit of money for what we had, but still we enjoyed it. The service was friendly and efficient. No toilet available inside....

Decidimos venir aquí porque estaba muy cerca del Palacio de Buckingham. Me preocupaba el caro estar al lado de una atracción, pero me sorprendió gratamente. Es un lindo restaurante con comida deliciosa con un precio muy modesto. El personal era muy amable. Nuestra única petición es que conseguir una trona para que sea más agradable para los niños. Sin duda parar antes de ir a la ceremonia del cambio de guardia.

Estábamos en Londres por 10 días y nuestro lugar favorito para el desayuno era bollos.

Descubrimos este lindo café durante nuestra excursión "hop off" tour. Tuvimos un almuerzo ligero. Servidor era complaciente y destinados a complacer. El sandwich panini era delicioso y té era buena y caliente!

Only came across this cafe whilst walking past, never heard of it before. Ordered bacon and sausage bap with a cup of tea.. the nicest breakfast sandwich there was! So big and so filling. Reasonably priced too, especially for London.

Posto carino e consigliato per una colazione/brunch se siete nei pressi di Buckingham Palace. Anche i prezzi sono buoni e il cibo niente male. Le uniche note negative: il servizio un po' lentino e la sensazione di venire presa un po' in giro dal cassiere quando ha sentito che parlavamo italiano tra di noi.

We had early tickets for Buckingham Palace so needed to plan for an early breakfast. I had phoned a few days earlier to confirm they would be open at 8.00am, and sure enough, at 8.05am the doors were open and the tables were being set. We approached the counter but were immediately told that they were not really open, and - once we had asked - were told that it would be around half an hour before any food could be served. Considering the good reviews on here, I was quite surprised to be treated so abruptly. Anyway, their loss was our gain as we went instead to Bon Gusto, a couple of doors to the right, and had a wonderful breakfast and coffees, served by delightful Italian staff. I recommend you do the same - you will not be disappointed. Whoever runs Crumpets needs to invest in some staff training.

Just been to this small cafe for a quick piece of food before visiting the palace. Me and a friend asked for a sausage roll, as we were at the front of the queue. Upon getting recognised by the staff another customer was behind us 'reserving' the rolls for himself. When I asked for the rolls he apparently had none, even though they were blatantly in front of him. He therefore forced us the pay more, as we had to buy a sausage bap instead. Absolutely poor customer service, I don't expect to be lied to at all.

Stumbled across this little gem of a place on our way to Buckingham Palace. Had a bacon bap, an egg sandwich, a latte and an excellent cup of tea. Cannot fault the place, spotlessly clean, excellent service, lovely food at a great price and plenty of choice. Highly recommended, will certainly return!

Visited with my granddaughter on our way from St James's Park tube to Buckingham Palace for the Royal Tour (reviewed separately). We stopped at Crumpets for a coffee. I had the cappuccino (extra shot!). It was a seriously good cup of coffee. We sat in and noted that the place has a steady stream of mainly take-away customers. There was enough seating for it not to be crowded. Obviously a popular cafe. The service was excellent, very efficient and friendly. I noticed that tables were cleaned up quickly, which is a sign of good service standards.After the first part of our Palace tour we decided to go for lunch at 2pm. As my granddaughter had rememberer the giant doughnuts at this cafe, and I was gagging for another of their excellent coffees, it was an easy choice to make. It's just a 5 mins walk back. It looked like their lunchtime rush had just finished, so we had no trouble getting a table again. And the guy behind the counter remembered us from earlier!I had a cheese and ham toastie with my coffee and she had a massive jam doughnut and a coke. I can't remember how much it all cost, but it was around about 10 pounds. Excellent value.This is a terrific find and I'll use it again when in that area. Highly recommended.

Cafeteria muy recomendable, comida exquisita. Buena atención y buen precio. No dudaré en repetir. Un 10

This was the perfect little breakfast place to grab a quick bite while out and about exploring London! My husband and I both got breakfast sandwiches which were freshly prepared, as well as espresso and hot chocolate. Everything was just divine, and we left feeling well fueled and ready to take on the day exploring the city. I do wish we would have partook in the pastries in the display, as they all looked so delicious! I wish we would have found this little place before our last day in London, as we would have definitely returned! The prices were reasonable and the service was quick and friendly - tens across the board!
