Vinimos por un pequeño café viennois que es básicamente un pequeño capuchino con crema batida de buena calidad en la parte superior. Es muy agradable ya que el café en sí es bastante fuerte aunque un solo golpe creo, y la crema es un contraste perfecto dulce ligero.

Excelente café, pasteles y sándwiches. Bonito café, ocupado con los lugareños, debe ser bueno. Gran servicio del personal.

La maquina de cafè no les funcionaba. Pedimos capuchino y nos lo hicieron con la máquina de desayuno, pero nos hicieron café latte. Reclamamos que nos lo cambiarán y nos hicieran capuchino y tampoco supieron hacerlo . Ya desistimos y decidimos no volver nunca más

We had noticed this cafe before but hadn't tried it until today. We went for a small cappuccino vienoisse which is basically an espresso with milk and whipped cream topped by chocolate. This is not my normal coffee but it was delicious - the very dark roast espresso was perfect with the slightly sweet high quality whipped cream. It wasn't too rich or sickly. At £3.70 it was quite reasonably priced.

On my way to the Albert Hall area I needed coffee and a sit-down and found both here. They have delicious apple strudel and the best coffee as you would expect from the name. Will definitely visit again!

Illy caffè never let you down. Popped in for a double espresso and oh boy that was good! Perfect extraction, perfect crema, delicate and aromatic as it should be. Friendly, welcoming skilled staff. Lovely

Lovely coffee thank you for your service. If I had stayed in to drink it I would have had a cake as they looked great! Good range of cold drinks too

Mi stavo recando al Museo di Storia Naturale e dopo aver svoltato l'angolo mi sono trovata davanti questa meraviglia brandizzata "Illy". Da buona italiana a Londra sono entrata subito per degustare il mio caffè al bancone. A prepararmi il mio delizioso macchiato è stato un ragazzo gentilissimo dalle eleganti sembianze angeliche biondo con occhi azzurri. Caffè impeccabile e latte montato a regola d'arte. Ho bevuto nella tazzina di ceramica un espresso, ma è possibile ordinare anche un double, cappuccini e molte altre prelibatezze accompagnate eventualmente da dolcetti. Si può consumare sul posto o portare via nei bicchieri di cartoncino. Come in tutti i locali londinesi anche una piccola cifra come il caffè può essere pagata con carta di credito. Nel mio caso il bicchiere d'acqua è stato omaggiato. Qui una sosta è d'obbligo! Mi auguro che questa mia recensione possa essere utile per te. Grazie per aver letto.

Great cappuccino and the staff was friendly. The place is not big, but it was comfortable and the underground station South Kensington is nearby.

This is where you can get a good espresso in South Kensington. From Imperial College, we often come by, even if in our office the coffee is for free.

£4.30 for their small coffee - pistachio/ chocolate apparently. First sip only tasted of oat milk, then I tastes stale chopped pistachios (no place for soft nuts in coffee), then I opened the cup and saw stocky pistachio substance, not chocolate. In summary, tasted odd, cost a bomb and was very disappointing. Paid similar money for hot chocolate at the Harry Potter Studios bur that was worth it. Don’t get conned.

I used to go quite often to take coffee at Illy after my working shifts before the lockdown. I would recommend this place, for the good coffee but especially for staff, always very kind and friendly .

Expensive for a very small cup. Ordered hot chocolate which was barely tepid. I didn't want to complain as the staff were rather sullen. Someone else in the group drank it so it wasn't wasted.

The staff doesn’t speak enough English to take an order without having to repeat everything, doesn’t know the cakes, plays music they like even though their type of clientele suggests not to be interested in a heavy beat music where you can’t hear each other talk. If you’re going to charge 5gbp for a sliver of cake, at least create an experience.

Went to the Illy Cafe in the Park Plaza hotel in Waterloo. In fact, had breakfast there almost every morning. Omid, was a great barista and was very kind. He knew my order every morning and gave me a card for free drinks as I was purchasing 4 hot coffees a day. The rest of the staff was friendly as well.

DO NOT order “white mushroom matcha” — not only it doesn’t taste like matcha, it tastes like mushroom soup sewer water with the solidified fat particles (you can see clearly on the picture). Yuck. £6.50 thrown away to a trash bin.

5 out 5 would be best ever. This was great but not best ever. Would definitely return for more deserts when nearby. Visited recently and service was friendly and fast. Purchased a brownie and whoopie pie. Deserts were yummy and very happy with our purchase. Wouldn’t travel just for these but if I’m in the area would be happy to try other things.

J'ai pris le petit-déjeuner ici pendant deux jours lors de mon séjour à Londres.A l'heure du petit-déjeuner, contrairement aux autres restaurants presque vides à part quelques clients touristes au visage asiatique, ce restaurant minuscule, géré par un couple, est plus animé. Les gens locaux viennent prendre leur thé en lisant le journal du matin, ils saluent le couple par leur prénom, ils discutent de leur boulot et ils se plaignent de leur boss... On sent la vraie vie quotidienne des Anglais ici, d'autant plus que ce restaurant se situe juste derrière une station de métro...Certes, la taille de ce petit restaurant ressemble à celle d'un resto de kebab parisien, et la nourriture n'est pas si raffinée que celle servie dans le restaurant d'un hôtel de 4 étoiles. Mais pour 7 livres sterling seulement, on peut se régaler d'un petit-déjeuner à l'anglaise fait maison, composé de "English Breakfast" plus un thé. On reste bien gavé jusqu'à l'heure de déjeuner.J'en suis content, très content.

Me encanta Notting Hill Gate, pero desafortunadamente, el gerente de Pret A Manger es muy poco profesional e irrespetuoso. He tenido más de tres discusiones con él. Desafortunadamente, tiene muy malas habilidades de comunicación y no se comporta de manera profesional y respetuosa. Su actitud hacia los clientes es problemática. No recomiendo a nadie que tome café allí, ya que crea problemas en lugar de resolverlos.
