Great hidden gem! Staff very welcoming, breakfast for both of us was lovely! Everything tasted fresh with great ingredients. Went back the next day as we enjoyed it so much! Only reason it loses a star is the tables inside at the left are very small so you can't really fit plates and drinks etc on and you gave to be very close to the people next to you

We stayed at a local hotel, that we've stayed at a few times. Their breakfast isn't great and expensive for what's on offer. Researched local cafés and found this place, 2 minutes walk from our hotel. We weren't disappointed. Fantastic food, great choice and the coffee was superb. Service was friendly and welcoming. Not expensive at all for London. We went there based on the other reviews and completely agree with them and would highly recommend. Not just for breakfast as they offer lunch and dinner as well. We'll definitely go there again.

My daughter and I happened upon this little place after a hectic few hours at a nearby embassy. What an unexpected gem on a busy but lovely corner of Marylebone. We chatted over mint and lemon juice and enjoyed a generously portioned Greek salad and a massive, flavoursome jacket potato with cheese along with a really well-seasoned side salad at very reasonable prices. They have table service which makes for a nice change. The potted flowers on the tables are so pretty and the croissants and pain au chocolat which we spotted through the window (which are filled with dozens of green apples) looked and smelled amazing. The outdoor seating area is surprisingly spacious for being on a pavement. All the other guests also seemed to enjoy themselves. What a street corner oasis.

To start with. There are no Italians associated with this business. Cultural appropriation again! It's overpriced and well below par. I am always disappointed that people try amd give the impression they are a regional Italian resteraunt when they have no connection and live off the recognition that true family Italian places try so hard to maintain.

The kids ordered french toast, with a side of hashbrowns, both were delicious. The service was fast and friendly. It's a small corner café, we'll worth the short walk from the Marble Arch.

Nos quedamos calle abajo y encontramos este café por casualidad. Nos recibió la chica en el mostrador y nos sentamos. Pedí los "panqueques de frutas" (como estadounidense, esperaba panqueques pesados y esponjosos) pero para mi deleite, era un panqueque delgado (más grueso que un crepe, pero casi del mismo grosor) y una maravillosa variedad generosa de frescos , fruta picada ligeramente cubierta con jarabe de arce. Por generoso, me refiero a un montón de fruta y una maravillosa variedad también. El café también fue maravilloso. . solo estuvimos en Londres por 2 días, pero si alguna vez regreso, iré directo a este café. Creo que conocimos brevemente al dueño y le agradecimos por el gran desayuno.

Una cafetería muy luminosa y alegre, tanto de decoración como de personal.Recomiendo encarecidamente el desayuno especial de la casa: huevos escalfados, champiñones, pesto y espinacas sobre tostadas. Latte también muy bueno: la temperatura adecuada, buena consistencia y una cantidad razonable.Buen sabor inglés completo, aunque preferiría un tocino de corte más grueso y salchichas más gruesas. Sin embargo, no puedo derribar el precio.Estoy acostumbrado a pagar los precios de Yorkshire y no había nada que me asustara aquí, probablemente más barato que Leeds.Me gustaría volver alguna vez y probar algunas de las otras opciones: el desayuno árabe suena interesante.En general, ¡una excelente manera de comenzar el día!

Fuimos para el desayuno, ya que nuestra hija vimos el menú y adora los gofres. Teníamos granola con yogur y fresas, el granola sabía un poco rancio, así que nos fuimos más. También habíamos pedido dos rebanadas de pan, cuando (por fin) salió vi que el pan estaba obviamente moho verde con patch. No me puedo creer que las dos chicas no verlo. Todo el interior ya está recalentado y justo. Hay muchos lugares bonitos y este no debería ser permitido para abrir en el centro de Londres. Se nos estropeó la mañana, tuvimos tiempo muy limitado y esto fue una gran decepción.

Cutting through the back of Oxford Stretch, we saw this attractive corner cafe, not a chain and, outwardly, pretty welcoming.We assumed the only member of staff on duty was having her first day and a bad one at that. We listened as she attempted to understand the customer in front of us who insisted in ordering in Arabic only. She took our simple order which took an age to produce.Her friend then entered the cafe and a loud, long conversation in Spanish ensued which covered everything from the dreadful customers she had to deal with to the problems she was having with her landlord. During that time three customers entered the shop but all left without placing an order.Pleasant-looking place but plenty of other options around which are far better.

Roberta, Larissa and Sara, provided a good service creating a friendly service and atmosphere. Located behind Marble Arch-Oxford St area, makes a good spot to stop either for a palatable meal, or can also be the perfect place to have coffees with yummi "naughty" cakes, resembling the original Italian ones.

This morning, I paid £6.20 for a takeaway coffee and marmalade on toast in this grotty cafe - yes really! To add insult to injury, I got home to find the coffee half full and undrinkable.

My friend and I used to meet for breakfast at La Masseria. It was quite nice, and not a chain, which was our reason for choosing it. It's a bit draughty (2 doors create a wind tunnel effect) and the seats aren't comfortable (why not invest in some cushions?), but the staff are nice. But we have stopped going because when we arrive at 8am (which they say is their opening time), the cafe is always very very closed with no sign of life. Around five past or ten past eight, the staff roll up and start taking chairs off tables, turning on the coffee machine, etc. We only have an hour before we have to go to work, so time is precious. So we've become a bit annoyed with the place and they've lost our custom. Tip to owner - buy your staff alarm clocks.

I prodotti utilizzati provengono dalla maggior parte dalla Daunia e sono buoni e scelti con cura ma i primi piatti é meglio lasciar perdere.

tra una battuta sulla politica italiana e una sugli italiani a Londra un aperitivo alla Masseria si trasforma in un pomeriggio divertente e gustoso. Nel piccolo shop di specialità italiane, si respira aria di casa: scaffali pieni di prodotti familiari, il banco dei salumi e formaggi che invitano a derogare alla dieta, ma soprattutto i piatti preparati da Barbara per intrattenere degnamente gli esigenti palati dei clienti. Tartine fantasiose, sformati saporiti e verdure in pastella innaffiati da vino bianco e rosso in caraffa, tutto a volontà per £8.Beh clienti è riduttivo, quando si esce dalla Masseria si ha la convinzione di aver passato del bel tempo insieme a vecchi amici!

We passed La Masseria Apulian delicatessen on the way between The Arch hotel and the underground on a cold March day. The next day we returned to re-live the warmer days of our May 2008 visit to Manfredonia and Lecce in the Apulia region, the region in the heel of the boot of Italy that provides half of Italy’s olive oil. We arrived at La Masseria intending to eat a light breakfast and sampled the small Italian pastries: the cannoncino (light pastry shell stuffed with white chocolate--the ones on the far right of the counter in the photo) and aragostina (small delicate lobster-shaped pastry shell stuffed with lemon custard--the next ones to the left in the photo). They were so tasty that we tried the croissants and found them so light and fluffy that we bought one more for take-out. Other pastries (shown in the photo) looked interesting, but breakfast turned into brunch as my wife simply had to try a salad plate with sun dried tomatoes, eggplant, artichoke hearts, and olives topped with slices of a light provolone cheese. We ate far more than we expected, and the bill for everything including take-out was Stg. 20. In the basement there is a store selling specialty imported goods and a private place to sit. We regretted that we were leaving London and could not return to enjoy the luxury of more Puglia regional fare right in the heart of the West End. It must be an ideal lunch place for hotel guests and for Oxford Street shoppers. There are tables both inside and out, the delicatessen staff are happy and delightful, and it is just a few blocks from Marble Arch.

Walking I noticed this small pizzeria characterized by a wood oven. The furniture is typical of an Italian trattoria. The staff is friendly, rapid and attentive to the customer just as you expect in Italy. The pizza is exceptional. The dough is well leavened and, therefore, light. The condiments are of excellent quality. Cooking is perfect. Excellent beer and ice cream also fully satisfies the palate. The account is adequate.
