Ginger & White in Camden

One of the best cafes in London.

I made a pit stop to Ginger & White as I was doing a nature walk down to Hampstead. Glad to have finally visited. It is a small cafe with minimal seating, but nevertheless, the vibes were nice. I ordered a simple cupcake as a small treat and a blueberry matcha, which surprised me that they had. Taste was subtle, but noticeable. Cupcake is decent and what you’d expect from a butter cream cupcake. Service was very friendly and attentive. Would love to come back and try their lunch menu to see what they’re all about.

Such a cute friendly place. The food is amazing, I had the Turkish eggs and cookie, loved it. Super chill and friendly home-like ambience. Highly recommend :)

Very average food for what they charge. Not welcoming either, staff don't seem to care.

Great coffee and Salt beef sandwich.

Great home style cafe food and amazing soup, taosties, salads etc. The service can be a hot or miss depending on the staff but the food is always spot on!

Popped in for carrot cake and coffee, 15 minutes before closing. Host was a credit to his profession. Excellent food and service. A+

I love coming to eat at ginger & white. I’ve come many times and the service is always great, even on the busy weekends. I love the poached eggs on buttered sourdough with chives. Their soup is also good, and they serve pretty good coffee. Currently my favourite brunch place in London :) The outside sitting is fantastic on a sunny afternoon. Great ambience and vibe nestled in the lovely Hampstead neighbourhood.

Good coffee, average food. Not sure why the queues are so crazy. There are plenty of other places to eat in Hampstead.

Cozy little cafe with great food. Highly recommend the eggs, really fluffy! The service was great even during the busy times.

Overhyped TikTok dribble. Food was average AT BEST.

I came to your restaurant for lunch yesterday. Service was non existent. One of party received their chicken salad after most of party was finished and it was worst salad ever served. Chicken tasteless and tough salad ingredients a disgrace. No pride in presentation. Have eaten at your restaurant before but never again!

We visited this spot for a Sunday breakfast, and it did not disappoint. I had the mushrooms, spinach, and poached eggs on toasted sourdough bread, while my friend went for the shakshuka. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and generous portions that left us feeling full and satisfied. The place is small and was quite busy, but we didn't have to wait long for a table, which was great.

really cute coffee shop just few steps away from the high street. The coffee was tasteful and the carrot cake was great!!!

This place is an absolute gem! ✨ Great atmosphere, consistently good coffee and other beverages, delicious food. I highly recommend: - Scrambled eggs on sourdough - Carrot Cake - Red Leicester Cheese Toastie Register at the door to be added to the list. Be prepared to wait, especially during the weekend or on a sunny day. Service is usually very kind but can be slow on busy days.

After a bout of sub-par service (order mix-up, delays, food going cold) and asking for the bill, a contactless terminal was presented with the total (but no breakdown). It only became clear when the (optional) receipt was printed that they'd taken the liberty of adding a 12.5% service charge on. The terminals apparently don't give the option of showing a full breakdown - a practice which should be banned.

Spend way too much time here, hard to beat the 'dippy eggs' Put your name down and wait for a table outside, you will see half of the world walk past. Don't forget the fresh OJ!

I’ve only got a cup of coconut milk latte to go but the coffee was just perfect I definitively will go back for some lunch!

Great place for a relaxed breakfast!

adorable little cafe. dippy eggs came with a little knitted hat :)

Had brunch with a friend today. It was a pleasant surprise 😊 ingredients tasted fresh, the cucumber smoothie was delicious 😋 and the guy who served us was helpful and smiley, 5 stars to Jay, you deserved it! Thank you all - Francesca 🇮🇹🇬🇧

What an amazing cafe! Located on one of the cutest streets in Hampstead. Service staff are super friendly, despite our babies taking over the whole street with the lovely screams. The coffee is delightful and delicious. Thank you for the hospitality, well worth the walk up the hill. Will be back very soon!

Ordered poached eggs with mushrooms spinach and salmon. The eggs were very poorly cooked. The whole dish was soaked in oil and the mushrooms and spinach nearly covered the whole plate. The water I ordered didn't arrive.

Food is good but terrible service. Staff has no patience and they spay disinfectant right at you when they are cleaning the table. When we asked her to remove service charge, she didn’t even bother to ask why and how they can improve. Disappointing

We sat down for breakfast, unaware that there is a waiting list, as this is not advertised anywhere in front of the store. A young lady shouts at us indignantly from the front door that ‘we have a waiting list’ and doesn’t explain further. Unbelievably poor service, unprofessional, and not worth waiting around for.

I love their concept Their coffee is on spot and I tried their smashed avocado on sourdough with goat cheese It is amazing and so delicious It is THREE slices of sourdough with very generous smashed avocado and rocket However the place is so noisy because it is so tiny If you don’t like loud voices then ypu have the option to eat outside

We came here after 5 years, and the place is just as amazing as it was. The food was fantastic. They have grown a lot so really need to get the bathroom situation in order - Only one which is in the bakery for a lot of people.

Beautiful cafe with great atmosphere. The staff were generally very nice. It was really busy and we just about got a table. It is quite small inside, not wheelchair friendly, but there are quite a few tables outside. I went for the Aussie-approved coffee and thought it was good but not amazing.

Very cute local place with amazing food and coffee! I felt like hot chocolate and got hot chocolate, and it did not disappoint!!

Amazing staff and great breakfast options.

Outstanding and quaint food spot. Located in a cute alley.

I went to Ginger & White for brunch. The location is nice, with seating both inside and outside. The staff was just okay. However, the food was really not that great. I wouldn't recommend it.

Cozy, delicious, welcoming restaurant. It’s too small but the service is greta and our host is Bella

Cute cafe, great food! The service is questionable

Want to give more stars! Love this spot so much! Everything is amazing from vibe to good to location it’s such a gem!

A charming, cosy cafe with great coffee and an excellent atmosphere. My friend and I came on a Tuesday morning and decided to sit outside (heating and blankets provided!), and we were served served almost immediately. The cafe was definitely quite busy inside - some customers were working alone on laptops, but it was mostly filled with families and friends chatting over breakfast. All the staff were incredibly friendly and chatty, and made sure you had what you needed without being overbearing or rushing you. My cappuccino was very good (I asked for it piping hot), and after reading some other reviews I decided to try the cheesecake, which was delicious! Creamy, rich, with a light vanilla flavour - although it was quite pricey at £4.50 a slice, and the biscuit base was a little soggy (a very minor complaint!). My friend's dippy eggs and sourdough soldiers were very good too. Overall, G&W is a really lovely spot, just off Hampstead High Street too - but I'd recommend going on a weekday/off-peak times if you want to sit indoors, since there isn't much room!

They have a mini take away store in front of the shop. Skip the queue just grab an amazing coffee here!!

Lovey coffee and nice space to chill but I don’t have time so got a oat latte for take away . Friendly service as I can see a little smile from barista ☺️

my favourite lunch spot, great staff, cosy vibes and the cookies from ginger and white by the window are perfection

Cute cafe which seems to get very busy. The salt beef sandwich is very tasty as is the tuna melt sandwich. The coffee is very smooth and doesn't have that bitter aftertaste. Even though the cafe was packed to the rafters it was a good atmosphere and wasn't noisy. Really worth a visit!

Fabulous place for brunch friendly staff amazing salt beef and tuna melt sourdough and best tasting latte no bitter after taste

Lovely cafe with plenty of seating in and out. Food very good. Fairly priced. I had porridge.... was soooo good!

Great coffee, delicious pastries and sandwiches. Unfriendly service

Nice breakfast spot with outdoor seating

Lovely cafe - would recommend coming here. It is on the pricier side but that is to be expected for the location. Only negative was the coffee wasn't that hot. Dippy eggs were great! 😁

Super relaxing spot to have a tea and read. Sandwiches and cakes are also incredible, especially the tuna melt and cupcakes (if you like buttercream).

In the alley of Hampstead, there is a dine-in shop and a takeaway shop on opposite sides. Business is very good on weekday afternoons and it is fully booked, but the service of the shop staff is very good. I want to try brunch next time. - Flat white is a rich series, smooth and quite satisfactory. - The cinnamon bun sold in the takeaway shop is quite big and well worth the 4.2 pounds. It has a good blend of crispy and soft and is not overly sweet. It is amazing! Recommend 👍🏻

Nice staffs; the breakfast was OK.

Terrible salt beef sandwiches. Over the weekend I paid £13 for a salt beef sandwich. The beef was thick and rubbery, I couldn’t bite through it at all. The rest of the sandwich - the bread, cheese, pickles, dressing was great, but for the price I paid I could have had a gourmet burger from a restaurant down the road.

We ordered the vegan gluten-free avocado toast and it was very good and super filling. The bread was very good because it was gluten-free, one of the best I have ever tasted. The mushrooms for the toast are very tasty. The smoothies are very delicious too. The coffee was not bad but not the best. The attention is not very fast but correct. They charge 12.5% ​​for service, which is why I lowered my score.

The places is quite small, but the coffee and cakes were good. We tried the carrot cake and my friend had a slice of cheesecake. I think the cheesecake was much better!

I came here on a weekday. A bit of wait. They have coffee with lovely latte art. I have ordered a French toast, it’s just soso.

Went here for the first time and had a decent brunch. Sat on a wooden chair (which wasn’t the most comfortable) but had the soft boiled eggs and soldiers - which was lovely, my friend had poached eggs and avocado with sourdough toast. Bill was £30 for both with two coffees.

What a cozy spot! The service was top-notch, and the prices were fair. The desserts were delicious, though the coffee was a bit sour, not the best I've had. Still, I highly recommend a visit for the overall experience.

Amazing coffee and Very beautiful looking food, but my dish came at room temperature which is less than ideal. The staff were very nice but also impossible to flag down (it took forever to get anyone’s attention), and they brought my and my partner’s dish 10 minutes apart. Note that i did start eating before him and it was already at room temperature.

Went here for a weekend brunch with two friends recently. Although the food was quite nice (amazing protein shakes!), the cafe is ridiculously cramped. The owner should really think about starting to take reservations instead of only walk ins: the 20 minute wait was fine, but the tightness of the tables and lack of space was really uncomfortable. We were given a table for two people for a party of three for brunch. When we moved halfway through the meal to a corner table that had slightly more space (after checking with a waitress), the manager/owner confronted us about this and suggested we were lying that we had asked permission to move. Not a great way to treat customers. I would likely choose a different cafe in the future in Hampstead village because of this first experience. A shout-out though to our waitress Amy who was lovely, professional and friendly in a very cramped space where I imagine it’s hard to move around whilst holding hot beverages!

Adorable neighborhood cafe, with delicious sandwiches!

Cracking place in Hampstead. We had the Scrambled eggs and bacon on sourdough toast for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. Their bakery a few yards away had some beautiful looking things in the window too!

La serveuse aux cheveux courts nous met à l'aise et reste patiente alors qu'on hésitait entre plusieurs choix J'ai adoré être servie par elle

Got My Delicious Turmeric Latte from the TA window Opesit the shop Reasonable priced and big Smile Served 🙌

latte is nice but the cinnamon pastry is a little lacking in crispness. the apple cake pastry is good though!

Great brunch and lovely coffee, but a bit busy on weekends

We were also served water in the same rusty jug. Seems the rustic look was taken too literally The server didn’t seem to really care that the water jug was rusty. Also the enamel water bowl for the doggies was rusty too.

I had a very disappointing experience at this cafe. First of all, all of the staffs are very unkind and rude. One of the staff just looked at me and laughed. I have no idea why did she laugh. In addition, they give me a water bottle which was rust. Inside the water bottle I could see rust marks. I looked around, only my water bottle was dirty, probably because I am asian. So I didn't drink water. I felt like I was being racially discriminated against, so I ate my food quickly and left. It's a pity that I had a bad experience at a place I went to with high expectations.

Coffee a bit small, otherwise a great cafe, got heaters for outside seats, would recommend the porridge! Expect a bit of wait during weekend brunch

We had high expectations for our visit to Ginger & White, driven by the positive buzz surrounding the cafe and recommendations from friends. However, our experience on Sunday morning left us underwhelmed and questioning the acclaim. Our journey to the cafe was fraught with challenges, thanks to disruptions on the tube. Despite these hurdles, we arrived eager to enjoy our meal. Unfortunately, our first impression was marred by the unwelcoming attitude of the staff. Understandably, they seemed overwhelmed, but their rudeness and apparent bad mood were off-putting. Once seated (following a long wait) there was a lenghty delay as we waited for service. When we finally managed to place our order, the anticipation was met with disappointment following the arrival of our food. The much-touted poached eggs turned out to be bland and devoid of the expected flavor. Even in my hunger, I couldn't bring myself to finish them. The bacon, seemingly shredded into indiscernible pieces, appeared as if it had been hastily cut at the bottom of a vat. To make matters worse, the bread was burnt and hard, making it a real challenge to eat. While we understand that establishments can have off days, the overall experience left us questioning the hype surrounding this cafe. It's disheartening to think that our journey may not have been worthwhile. We struggled to comprehend what all the fuss was about, given the lackluster quality of the food and service. In an attempt to salvage our meal, we forced ourselves to consume what was edible. Regrettably, we left the cafe as soon as possible, settling the bill amidst the rain. It's a massive shame that our much-anticipated visit to Ginger & White turned out to be such a letdown.

Staff very rude. Asked how long for a table outside and worker was in a terrible mood with awful attitude. wouldn’t spent my money there go elsewhere.

We've lived in the area for a year and a half and finally just visited. Great shakes and sandwiches. Will be back again and can't wait to try their coffee!

Great place to have a simple but delicious food or drinks! Smoothies are definitely my favourite on the menu. Blankets if you need one & heaters! Easy access. Very friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere.

Great foods, warmly staff and nice place in the heart of hampstead.

Was wandering around Hampstead with a friend and dropped by Ginger & White for impromptu coffee and cake. The venue itself benefits from offering privacy and personal space (being on a side road) with a pleasant public passing by (just off the high street). Ordered iced coffee and chocolate drinks which tasted great and were very refreshing. The menu offers a great selection of interesting hot and cold made to order breakfast and brunch options you would expect from an upmarket style cafe as well as lots of add ons such as cakes, pastries and bagels too. The toasted chocolate chip banana bread was delicious and has a distinctive in house / homemade taste. The price point is medium-higher end however worth paying for bearing in mind the location and because food and drinks were of a high standard. As the weather was good it was worth a 10 minute wait for an outdoor table. One slight let down was that the service between staff seemed a little un-coordinated because we had to remind one to bring the food (drinks came fine) but it was a very busy weekend so could be excused. I would like to visit again to explore much more of the varied and thoughtful menu. I would highly recommend this as a venue for those who appreciate high-quality food options with a more unique and distinctive taste.

Good fresh quality food and friendly service. Had the grilled chicken sandwich.

The food is amazing, coffee is great which is rare in London BUT attitude of those who work here (especially hostesses) is rude and disrespectful, almost like they pay us to be there not vice versa. Is it hard to give a genuine smile?

Popular place on a Sunday. Friendly staff and good service.

A very nice place for a breakfast in a cosy location.

Banana choco cake was so good 👍 👍

The menu said £4.9 for a cold drink, was drinking it in my table, relaxed, the waitress comes over with the card reader asking me to pay £5.6 including the service I wasn’t even consulted before, neither was I informed about the service charge in the menu. They literally stolen £0.6 because they didn’t ask if I was ok with that Or I wanted to add service. It’s a proper scam and shady staff.

Nice spot for a brunch or a coffe. Their Turkish eggs were really good as well as the dessert. I wasn’t a fan of the coffee though. Recommended!

Love this cafe!!! The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. And of course, the food is delicious. I recommend the avocado toast or shakshuka, and the power shake 😍

Cant imagine hampstead village without ginger and white. Yes, food isn’t always great, service sometimes is slow… after all, ppl come for the vibe and good coffee ☕️

Tap water jug is rusty Apart from that everything is great

It's a lovely place for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. The setting is great for meeting friends or just dining alone. Very cosy, very warm feeling. Pretty well staffed as i came on a weekend. It can get very busy during lunch. They have a nice outdoor seating in the case of good weather to enjoy some sun. Love both breakfast, cakes and lunch specials here. The green shake and coffee are nice too. Will be back again!

Everything was perfect except the coffee. My coffee was sour.

Loooove the coffee and the staff! Amazing place to work and/or just relax and have something nice...

G&W is a cosy little cafe in the alleyways of hampstead, it’s usually busy so they have a smart option of G&W at the window which is just nearby to get a quick takeaway - we tried beetroot latte which was okay , maybe the hot latte would have been better than the iced one, but the power shake was really good. Nice cafe to visit if you are around.

I loved the sweetcorn fritters I ordered. Highly recommend. UPDATE: I returned to this restaurant after posting a 5 star review last time but was disappointed with the service. The server got my order wrong so I had to wait for it to be corrected. I did enjoy the grilled chicken salad once I received it.

I’ve been here twice already and I will definitely come back! This place is quite full and crowded but it’s worth it because the breakfast and coffee is amazing. Don’t want to go anywhere else. Ps to all Poles coming here: dwóch kelnerów mówi po polsku 😊 jest super i bardzo miły service! Dzięki 🥰

Lovely breakfast here, especially sat outside watching passers by on a sunny day. Bacon sandwiches were generous with the bacon and the avocado toast was really fresh and tasty! Great service too; a constant effort turning tables due to the popularity of this place.

Went to try breakfast here as had heard good things. Had to wait a little while for a table which we didn't mind, its quite small inside but cosy. Was slightly disappointed with the food. I ordered eggs benedict, essentially bacon with 2 poached eggs on bread which I could've made at home for a third of the price (cost £15), the bread was unbuttered and hard so was not much fun to chew through. Coffee was nice. Service was ok. I'd go back for coffee.

Loved the smashed avocado with a side of eggs :)

Had breakfast there with a relatively large group and we were seated outside. What a wonderful little place. They serve all-day breakfast and they do it really well. I ordered the shakshuka and it was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Love their food, tasty desserts and good coffee

Food is nice but nothing special really just classic recipes . Coffee is excellent!

Un café où l’on peut travailler (une heure maxi ce qui est très bien. Ambiance sympa et grand choix de boissons et plats. Je conseille le gingembre coton chaud

Busy, food is nice, however it's pricey... Expensive

Love this place. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The food is tasty, coffee is great, as is the atmosphere.

Top cafe in Hampstead Heath, staff were super energetic and friendly. Service was also quick, and the carrot cake was fantastic. Enough for 2 people.

Great cakes, especially carrot cake and coffee of course. This is where I come to indulge my sweet tooth :). It’s classic for Hampstead.. and always a good vibe

what a nice breakfast, We got Shaksowkah with feta cheese and scramble egg. friendly stuff and helpful I am totally recommend this place and sure I will be back soon

Creamy scrambled eggs on crusty sourdough. Good ambiance, casual service.
