Half Cup in Camden

Really glad we stumbled across Half Cup. Had almost a twist on breakfast classics. Was delicious and the plates look amazing, either piled high with waffle chicken or well presented/decorated avocado toast. Would highly recommend! Just be wary at what time you go because it can get v busy.

This was the best coffee I had in London. I was so happy to have a drink this good. Seriously, worth the wait.

Very good spot for brunch. The menu is great, the decor is nice, the playlist is super catchy. The staff is very attentive. The only downside is that the prices are a little high. But I will go back with pleasure 😊

Lovely food and staff. Seating is rustic and cosy. We had pancakes and waffles!!! A must!

Taste so good! Very delicious English breakfast. The menu will be changed every month. I will visit again.

(About pickpocketing during service and meals) We ordered Pancakes and Half cup (English breakfast). However, the chicken toast and waffles of the table next to us, who ordered later than us, came out first. We waited for about 10 minutes and only after talking to the server were we able to receive our food. I think it took about 30 minutes to receive the food after ordering. They didn't even provide us with knives, so we ate with a fork for a while, but when we happened to see the table next to us eating with knives, we had to ask for one again. Still, I felt relieved for a moment when they said they would deduct the cost of the coffee, but then a woman showed me a piece of paper saying she had a starving child and asked for money. I refused a few times, but I didn't give up, so I opened the bag to give him 1 pound. But the woman sat down next to me with her arms around me and put her hand in my bag. I was very embarrassed and asked, “Why are you putting your hand in your bag?” I argued with her, and the woman smiled and walked away, gently moving her hand to her son's cell phone on the table. Luckily, my son spotted it right away and grabbed his phone. We were sitting inside the restaurant, not on the terrace, and even though a pickpocket entered the restaurant and was running rampant, the server did not intervene (e.g. kick the woman out or ask me if I was okay) and just looked at me from afar and gave me a look (?) that felt like ‘I can’t help it, so please understand.’ Customers around me said, “Check your bag quickly,” so I was able to check my bag. Pickpockets are very bold so be careful. The food was delicious, but my heart was pounding and I was upset that I almost left it behind.

Lovely place to brunch!! Nice variety and delicious food.

A real gem. Great service, unpretentious but delicious food, nice music!

Great cafe just a few minutes from Kings Cross. Delicious breakfast food and great coffee!

Endroit extraordinaire pour un breakfast excellent des gens adorables et un service sans fausse note on y retourne a tester sans modération

Amazing! Great service and very friendly ☀️💂🏼‍♀️

An English Breakfast with the family!!! Perfect !!!

Leuk eettentje met heerlijke gerechten! Mijn dochter had de French oreo toast, wat echt verrukkelijk was! Ik was blij dat mijn dochter hem niet helemaal opkreeg, zodat ik er nog wat van kon eten. Zelf had ik de avocadotoast gekozen, wat ook erg lekker was! Als we ooit nog eens in de buurt zijn, komen we zeker terug!

We went with great expectations, the service was spectacular but we were not very convinced with the food

This cafe is located on Judd Street, near King’s Cross, about a 15 mins walk from the Underground Station, making it easy to find. The staff are polite and cheerful, and the atmosphere is pleasant. They also have outdoor seating. We ordered the Golden Turmeric & Ginger Latte, Ube Latte, Oreo French Toast, and Half Cup Full English Breakfast. Except for the French toast, the quality of the food and drinks was excellent! I look forward to trying other items on the menu next time!

At over £50 for brunch for two, Half Cup sets the bar very high. The chicken waffle was very good, with a generous portion and really well seasoned. While the coffee was “above average” by London standards, it was still a bit disappointingly far from being excellent. The coconut spiced chai latte was nice enough, just a little too weak and milky — but perhaps that’s the local taste though. The veg full breakfast is a solid option, but none of the elements were “wow”, such as halloumi that was a little overcooked and dry. The staff are very welcoming, and the cafe itself is a really lovely environment. Going by the wait time to be seated, this is a popular spot — if you want to visit, recommend to book ahead!

The full English breakfast is good quality and quite plentiful, no complaints. Nice atmosphere and friendly servers.

Today we went to one of the coffee shops that we had wanted to go to before, but it was very special. Obviously, I had the impression that its facade was blue when I saw it on the Internet, but what I saw in person was white. There is no problem. I have added new photos for you to refer to the latest ones. Because it is a popular store, you have to queue up in advance. If there are many people waiting, you will have to queue for more than 30 minutes. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Find your own seat. They sell different waffles and pancake products, and they also have all day breakfast. You can choose what you like to eat. What I like most is the portion size of this store. Each portion is very sufficient. Maybe if you are a girl who eats less, you will find it more. The drinks are also very unique. It can be seen that the store carefully selects their products. They provide restrooms and takeout service. Their prices are a bit expensive compared to London. The only drawback is that the space may be relatively small, so when many people are chatting, the whole store feels noisy, or it may be the so-called liveliness.

Tried crumpet Benedict, Oreo waffle and pistachio hot chocolate. Great food great vibe and great service

Incredible brunch spot. The fried chicken and waffles are likely my favorite thing I've had in London. A bit of a line for walk-ins and a little crammed, but worth the wait.

It’s horrible place. They kicked us out like 30 minutes before their closing time, while we were still having coffee. What a service. Coffee was terrible.

Really great vibes and such yummy and unique food options. All amazing. Stayed for hours. Just kept ordering different things to try. Everything was delicious. I was sad when I was finally too full to eat anymore. lol

Coming to Half Cup is like Enhancing and Nurturing your Senses with such uplifting ‘notes’… the service, the atmosphere, the cuisine all carefully yet light- heartedly catered to you, a joyful place to be, what a lovely experience! Congratulations and well done to all at Half Cup! Cheers! Highly recommended!

Amazing food! The pistachio hot chocolate was delicious!!! Also really enjoyed the breakfast bun and the veg full English breakfast.

The best restaurant to eat breakfast in all of London (and even Paris) I highly recommend this address where we are superbly welcomed

Excellent breakfast spot. Had the eggs on toast and also the vegetarian English breakfast, both were great. Coffee also excellent. Great option in this neighborhood.

Tuvimos el desayuno inglés completo más increíble aquí esta mañana. Me encantó el hecho cuando dije que no quería frijoles, inmediatamente me preguntaron si quería un hachís marrón en su lugar. El personal era absolutamente encantador. Me encantó la decoración. Tomamos galletas de chocolate doble para tener en nuestro viaje en tren y estaban deliciosos también!

Best brunch spot I’ve had in London I got the Uber latte and the egg bacon sandwich

This place is nice and the customer service is great. The food could be better. I wouldn’t recommend ordering the smoked salmon or the sourdough as it’s not great quality and it’s overpriced.

Very good breakfast with a large choice which includes many vegetarian choices. The veg full breakfast is a solid choice! The staff is friendly, but come early or be prepared to wait in front.

What a good brunch spot! Their seasonal menu had a pistachio hot chocolate, which was absolutely divine. We ordered the full english breakfast and the shakshuka, which were delicious. I would come early, as the queue was long.

A clean place and provides good service. The staff would help you hang your winter clothes and help to take photos when needed.

Cute little brunch spot near KX! the food here is absolutely stunning. We got the avocado toast with beetroot brioche and the potato pancakes. The sauces and the plating absolutely elevated the dish. The portion is filling in my opinion and the potato pancakes were thick. The nduja complimented the dish really well along with the orange sauce on the side. The eggs on both dishes were perfectly good as well. Definitely come here if you’re looking to have an elevated brunch!

The atmosphere was nice, and most of all, the staff were very friendly! On my last day in London, I wanted to have brunch, so I visited. They kindly explained the menu and it was great. There are a lot of people who come and eat alone. The food was delicious, but it was so salty! Water is free, and they accept cash. I highly recommend it!😊😊

Wonderful food. Great atmosphere.

Lovely staff. Amazing options. Thanks x

Overpriced, you can easily cook this at home

Awesome cafe, staff, coffee, food, ambience really excellent. I recommend the banana pancakes!

Had to wait a while for a table as the place is quite small, but it was well worth the wait. Absolutely delicious 😋. Great staff and atmosphere. Will definitely visit again 😊♥️

Fantastic brunch as always. Matcha latte is super good.

I really enjoyed the food and the service—everything was on point! 👌

Expect a queue as the place is small but it all worth your waiting😋😋

The waffles and fried chicken here are amazing.

Great breakfast. Service was quick and efficient. Does get quite busy in the morning so you may want to get there earlier.

Love this little gem of a place. And the banana pancakes are to die for!!

We found this very nice little place by chance, looking for a cafe to have brunch. We were more than impressed: more than generous portions, delicious food and very kind staff. Undisputed star of our brunches (because we returned at the end of the holiday for a second time): the fried chicken on waffles. We have no advice because we found everything perfect :) it will be an obligatory stop every time we return to London.

Such a lovely brunch spot! And delicious n filling meal. Would definitely be here again! The servers are also very kind!

A phenomenal full English. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Half cup was so yummy! The Bombay pancakes, the scones, the dirty chai, so good! But the best part was their service. My wife didn’t eat all of her banana pancake, it was way to sweet for her taste ( though delicious). They asked her about it, apologized unnecessarily, of course, and offered us both free drinks! It was not at all necessary as we are always happy to support local family owned businesses, but it was certainly a nice touch. They earned our repeat business and for such a popular restaurant we’d queue up anytime!

English Breakfast was excellent - everything was delicious and textures combination was great. We got our order almost immediately and left the place totally satisfied.

I have always wanted to try this place since I have always seen queues outside. Although we went at an odd hour, it was still packed but decided to sit outside despite the freezing cold . We had the chicken waffle , scrambled eggs , sausage. The food was outstanding 👌, it got cold within minutes but still delicious. One of the best brunches I had in London and definitely the most perfect scrambled eggs. Definitely going back. The staff was also friendly, kind and attentive

Awesome breakfast served by friendly, attentive staff! The lineups move fairly quickly so don't let that deter you from the great food here.

Waiter are accommodating .serving is good

Best brunch we have ever had in London, so far, welcoming environment, friendly staff, gooooood food!

Fab cafe, the service was SO fast and accommodating. Breakfast bap was 10/10. Highly recommended.

Very tasty breakfast, can only be recommended.

Loved this cute little place! Tried the potato pancakes and the Oreo French toast, and both were great! Also the hot chocolate was awesome! The waiters - absolutely lovely and fun! Also very nice interiors and vibe. Will come back soon :)

Been going here for years. Really disappointed they are sneaking in a 12% service charge. I swear this is recent? Or maybe I’ve only just noticed. Just pay your staff. I didn’t realise it had been snuck on to my bill. I wasn’t shown the full receipt and stupidly paid. It wasn’t until I saw a waitress demand to know why someone next to me wanted it removed, that I clocked what had happened. Won’t be going back now.

Impersonal service and system. I walked asking to sit down for coffee but was told I needed to join the queue outside. I was made to wait in a queue outside despite there being many empty tables, after 10 mins at the front of the queue I was told I wouldn’t be allowed to sit down until my friend arrived. When she arrived 5 mins later I was allowed out of the cold and sat down i asked if we could order coffees straight away as we didn’t have much time left.., but was told no, but somebody would come to our table… after another 5-10 mins wait nobody came to us so we had to go up and ordered take away instead… and join the take away queue… after wasting 25 mins achieving nothing but stress and picking up weird vibes I wish I had gone somewhere else from the first odd interaction there.

Had a very tasty vegetarian and original English breakfast 🤩

Nice brunch location with good food and friendly stuff

Servicio increíble, comida increíble, bebidas increíbles. Sin duda recomiendo! Justo en el centro y frente a la estación de King’s Cross.

THE SERVER(wearing glasses, mustache, blond) TOOK MY PHONE while I was paying. I couldn’t find my phone after he walked away. So i did find my phone using my Apple Watch, and the sound led me straight to the server, who had my phone in his apron pocket. He claimed it was a simple mistake, confusing my phone with the card payment reader. However, the two devices looked nothing alike. Food was great.

Very good food and service...big portions ..nice plating ..we enjoyed it!

The staff was very nice and the food was amazing

Attitude from the moment you enter is not great, very arrogant and cold. Eggs were fried in old or very cheap oil. Loose tea felt like used several cups.

Called in for breakfast. It was freshly cooked and good quality. The lady who greeted us and served us was very pleasant and welcoming. Good size portion of food too.

Great vegetarian and vegan selection amongst the offering. Great atmosphere and service if you can get a table. I thought it was a bit pricey until I saw the serving size. Excellent food

Amazing place for a typical english breakfast, staff is very nice, the place is Amazing and the food IS very good

Lovely basque cheesecake, coffee was okay but not perfect

Awesome place with great food! :)

For a quality brunch close to St Pancras station, try it without hesitation. It's good, plentiful, the staff is pleasant and the decoration completes the whole thing. Great experience to repeat

Nice little cafe with warmth atmosphere. Food and staff were great and helpful. Had hashbrowns with salmon. Absolutely yummy.

Great coffee and unique, very tasty brunch menu

Its a great place to have a brunch with friends or couple, very close to St Pancras station, it was full of travellers as its quite convinient for them too. Remember you need to queue outside but its quite fast, it took 5’ for us. The place is very cosy and the food was very good and decent quantities. They should review the coffee quality, we did not like it. The price 25£ pp. Service was nice with us and we stayed there all time we needed. Its a bit noisy but worthy to visit! We will come back!

Outstanding breakfast/brunch, great choice, friendly service, great vibe to the place. Big queues by the time we left, must've timed it right, but you can taste why the queues form. Brilliant place for breakfast if in the kings cross area.

Very good experience, a little wait outside (5-10 min) to enter but being pregnant the team came themselves to bring me a chair. We had two excellent Lattes and a very good brunch! 👍🏻

We had a delicious breakfast with good coffee in this nice restaurant. Nice and busy and a good atmosphere!

Food was interesting! There are a lot of specialty lattes and the dirty chai with coconut milk is so good!! 🤤 the breakfast tea was very weak and no one cared to offer any kind of sweetener. The chicken was cooked very well whoever the favours did not seems to work too well with the amount of syrup on the waffle. I think this place is over rated because the food looks very aesthetically pleasing, however it is lacking in other aspects. I have to say terrible service! Asked for a table got told to wait, which is fine. We than decided to sit outside so we let a member of staff know. 20 minutes later no one has come to bring a menu or anything we went on Google and decided what to order and my partner had to go inside to order. Drinks come, by the time the food comes out drinks were cold. We had to get up and go inside again to ask for condiments. No water. No one come to check if the food was ok or not. No one come to get the bill we had to get up and get someone again. But of course they did not forget to include the service charge!!! The table next to us had water, and 2 waiters come to bring their food. Will not be visiting again.

Coffee and food are great, just a bit too crowded!

Insanely over priced despite being yummy. £5 for a plain (not caramel) matcha and charged £17 for smashed avocado on toast. More details I asked "instead of eggs on toast - £12 - do you have an avocado on toast?" The wauers answer was "we have an avocado chickpea with pesto and a bunch of other stuff meal" would you like that? No is just plain avocado on sourdough possible, like the plain eggs in toast? "Yes" Still charged £17. Didn't get to dispute this in person because we paid as a group in a rush -- as we were being kicked out due to others wanting a table!

Amazing vegetarian English breakfast. Food is perfect. Interesting and seasonal drink choices. The staff is so welcoming and friendly.

Love LOVE love LOVE!!!!! The food was really fantastic here, brilliant brunch. Wasn't a fan of the coffee but I think it just comes down to personal taste re roast of beans. Also they are pretty fast here, which was very much APPRECIATED!

Nice food and coffee, great vibe and friendly staff.

A delicious moment between two trains!

Llamé para el brunch, ya que estaba en el camino a la calle Pancras y el sitio web se veía bien. La comida era agradable, PERO extremadamente caro para lo que era. £ 17 para aguacate frío, huevos escalfados, garbanzos y cohete en tostadas y se sentó al lado de la puerta del inodoro. Pagamos un tercio menos por similares en el puente de la torre, donde los alrededores eran muy superiores. ¡Además no hay té verde! Mi marido tenía dos huevos, un poco de jamón y un café con leche muy pequeño, y estaba a solo 40 libras. Mi taza estaba medio vacía y no volvía.

Fantastic breakfast, many really delicious options to choose from and nice atmosphere - would come again :)

Great cafe, on a quieter side street, not far from Kings Cross. The staff was very friendly and on the ball. The food was excellent and the menu also offers all sorts of unusual dishes and invites you to try them out.

Food was excellent, breakfast roll was very nice. All the food I saw being served looked delicious. My only gripe was having to wait 30min before being seated. Oh and some bloke coming out the loo nearly took my head off with the door due to where I was sat. I would visit again however.

Good food, friendly service right in the heart of London

Great place for brunch, the place is not very big but very warm There were 2 of us and we had the Half Cup full English breakfast and the Turkish eggs It was really very good and plentiful, the dishes arrived very quickly and the staff was very friendly I recommend

Very nice atmosphere, and the menu offers great choice of sweet, salty and mixed dishes ! The portions are generous, and the service was really attentive. There is quite a queue outside, but we were lucky as we were just 2 people. Highly recommended!

On day 3 in London we were looking for another new breakfast place. We found one near our hotel via Google Maps. When we arrived we saw a line. It would take 20 minutes so we decided to wait. We already received the card so that we could find out in advance what we would like and I think also so that the flow is a little higher, so that the rest in the queue would also have their turn. If you sit outside you can literally see the queue, so you will be looked away when you have finished your food, but that won't bother you inside. You can just eat there in peace and quiet and they are not in a rush. However, they are quick to serve. In the end it was more than worth the wait. The food was very tasty and looked very nice too. The chicken and waffles were extremely large and more than enough! The lunch stall is decorated with beautiful murals. I would definitely come back here if I go to London again. I would make a reservation if possible, so you don't have to wait outside. Legend: 1) Terrible! I don't recommend it, I will never come back! 2) Too bad, below my expectations, I won't come again. 3) Ok, nothing wrong with that, but nothing special, nice for once. 4) Fine, worth coming back. 5) Excellent! I recommend, I will definitely come back!

Great brunch today, with friends.

A friend who lived in London told me that if I want brunch, I should go to Half Cup instead of going anywhere else. Chicken waffles were amazing!! Seriously delicious. But when I ate this for brunch, I felt guilty... haha, but it's delicious. Everything is delicious.

Most overrated brunch restaurant in all of London. (And I have visited 100+ at this point.) ‘Poached’ eggs were BOILED. Zero runny yolk factor. Hashbrowns tasted tasted like frozen ones from McCain (although I think these taste better). Hollandaise sauce was bland and had no real flavour (so was a yellow gloop serving no purpose). Food arrived cold, I sent it back, and they brought me the exact same plate again… (Hopefully having not spat in it for all we know.)

Nice atmosphere, coffee and food presentation. However food wasn’t that great , flavours didn’t really match and my chickpeas felt quite stale/old. Service wasn’t fantastic either as it was very busy and staff seemed to be all over the place

One of the best brunch I’ve had hands down. My only regret was I had plan to do some rockclimbimg afterwards, so having to restrain from devouring the whole portion was painful. Despite the fried chicken waffle being one of the best I’ve had, the savory pancake my wife ordered was divine and I was stealing from her plate the whole time.

Fab coffee, great gluten free hash browns and a huge portion of halloumi too!

It was really delicious and because it was a famous restaurant, there were a lot of people and there was a wait.
