Leyas in Camden

Decidiamo di andare a fare colazione a Camden Town pur essendo consapevoli che fosse già tardi come orario, infatti appena arrivati in questo locale ci viene proposto un menu dedicato al brunch e non alla colazione, menu molto scarno e con alcune opzioni dove veniva indicata la parola NO! Nessun tipo di servizio visto che ci è stato richiesto di ordinare in cassa per poi assegnarci un numero da poter portare al tavolo! Non conoscenza effettiva di cosa offrisse il menu da parte dello staff visto che le cameriere non avevo idea di come fossero i piatti descritti, prezzi assolutamente non in linea al servizio e alla qualità offerta! Qualità cibo decente ma la semplicità dei piatti ( uova in camicia e toast) non poteva determinare la bravura nella preparazione! Assolutamente da non tornarci visto che a quel prezzo si possono trovare posti decisamente migliori!

Pedí un chocolate caliente que no estaba caliente y tuve que enviarlo de vuelta.Al preguntar sobre el menú (los huevos escalfados de Clarence) las personas que trabajan allí no pudieron describirlo. . . Finalmente descubrimos que se trataba de huevos tostados. . . Era un nombre elegante sin ninguna razón.¡Los precios son ridículos! ! ! ! ¡Por un chocolate caliente hecho con leche de almendras y los huevos tostados con 2 rebanadas de champiñones, pagué 16! ! ! ! ! Un desayuno inglés completo normal es un tercio y estás realmente lleno. Literalmente pagas por la ubicación y el lindo lugar, ¡eso es todo! Además, un consejo para el lugar: el azúcar no debe dejarse en una olla donde todos puedan mojar su propia cuchara. . . No es higiénico y en realidad ilegal en el resto de Europa. . . Sé que el Brexit está aquí, pero tal vez hay algo que deberías aprender de los países más civilizados.

Tenemos una tostada sin gluten con aguacate en la parte superior por alrededor de 6, que es una estafa. La tostada fue quemada a los lados. El aguacate era mucho pero definitivamente no valía 6. Tengo un huevo escalfado a un lado por 3. Probablemente fue el huevo más pequeño que he visto en toda mi vida. El chocolate caliente estaba frío, así que tuvimos que devolverlo. Todos obtuvimos un plato y una "bebida caliente" y terminamos gastando 43, lo cual es una broma para lo que obtuvimos y solo éramos 3. El lugar es agradable y limpio, incluso si te dan tarros de azúcar donde tienes que poner tu propia cuchara de té en la que es tan antihigiénico. En general, no recomendaría este lugar en absoluto. Estoy seguro de que hay muchos lugares donde puedes tener un brunch más grande por más barato.

Nipped in here friendly staff only had quick coffee and cake but everything was very good . If I’m in the area again I will certainly try the food looks lush Thanx

Impresionante. Un sitio tranquilo y cuqui para desayunar o para tomar el brunch, acompañado con una gran cocina. Los huevos benedictinos, en particular, o el “leyas breakfast”, son unas elecciones magistrales.

Was after a quick healthy bite and came across this place, i ordered avacado toast, and asked for additional egg + salmon with a breakfast tea. Service was very quick and the food was excellent, all this for £14!!! Cheap as chips well worth the it

Stopped by for breakfast at Leyas and had a wonderful time: tasty food, fair prices and a cosy atmosphere. I'll definitely be back if I ever happen to be in Camden again!

Accueil chaleureux et très attentionné de l'équipe de ce café,bien situé (quartier de camden). Petit déjeuner complet avec des produits frais et le pain excellent dans une ambiance sympa. À refaire..Merci

Excellents plats ou assiettes ! Type brunch petit déjeuner ! Produits frais !Café pas extra ! Si vous passez vers Camden faites une pause ici

Do not go for Brunch! Although the coffee was v. good, the brunch in terms of taste was nothing special really and the quantity was v. small for 10 pounds plate with no service. It is certainly not good value for money. I understand other reviews on cozy atmosphere but don't expect much.. For example, when we arrived with buggy and looking for a table upstairs or outside, the waitress sitting on table, politely told us "I finish my break in 10 mins or you can grab a chair from inside"!! Instead of offering the table! How polite is that?And when we explained that brunch portions were small she actually said that this was the biggest plate.. Not caring obviously.. Do not believe any photos you see, get there to be disappointed in person.

The best coffee in Camden, made by friendly and kind staff who always wish customers a good morning. The cakes are delicious and the salads are light and tasty - if you get there on time to get one! I rarely drank coffee before I discovered Leyas and I'm struggling not to come here every morning now...enjoy when you visit!

Cerca del mercado de Camden... un café con leche de soja muy bueno . Personal amable el chico brasileño de la barra incluso hizo probar a mi madre los 3 tipos de bebida vegetal que tenian ya que elles no sabía cual

brunch was really great, healthy food and served by very friendly staff excellent cafè prices are really okay for this area

Les produits sont appétissants et tiennent leurs promesses, c'est excellent. Les autres points forts de l'établissement sont la propreté générale et le confort mais surtout la courtoisie du personnel aussi bien pour conseiller les sandwiches que pour le service, un endroit parfait pour un brunch avant Camden.

Whilst waiting for our drinks we noticed a large amount of flies all over the cakes. They were having a feast. They were small flies. These cakes should be displayed under plastic see through cases. They need to tidy this up as it does look a pleasant coffee shop and should look after what they are selling.

Spent an hour here over very nice tea and coffee, sat downstairs on comfy sofa, staff friendly and helpful, funny being able underground beneath us

Parecen tener alguna política de clientes anti - leales. Parecen estar cambiando sus horas de almuerzo con frecuencia. Un día sirven comida a la 1. 30, el día después es solo hasta el 1. 00. Me pasó un par de veces. Parece que solo sirven comida cuando están de humor. No volveré allí ya que es una pérdida de tiempo!

El café es delicioso ! El lugar muy acogedor y el staff muy amable. Super bien ubicado, a pocas cuadras de la estación de camden.

Una buena opción para un brunch a pocos metros de Camden.

Met friend’s at Leyas for brunch and found it disappointing. Some of us waited nearly an hour for our food even though it wasn’t massively busy and even options such as toast came out cold. Staff were not very approachable.

We were drawn to Layla’s because the reviews looked good but when I say this is the worst breakfast I have ever eaten this is an understatement! We both ordered avo on toast which was served on Tesco white BREAD (not toast) the avo was a mouse sized portion and all in all absolutely shocking. The poached egg was hard in the inside! To top it off, we asked for some ketchup and got looked at like we were monkies.... they don’t do such a thing here. What’s clever about this place is that fact you have to pay for your food before you are served! That was most unsatisfactory £25 spent & im absolutely gutted!

Lovely relaxed atmosphere in a very welcoming cafe. A perfect brunch spot in Camden. I had poached eggs on avocado toast with vine tomatoes and it was very tasty. Would definitely return!

Went for a quick brunch, food and coffee was tasty and arrived pretty quickly! Although portions were on the smaller side and had to specifically request that the table was wiped down. Other than that, a nice brunch!

We went to Leyas for breakfast after the bank holiday weekend. There’s a nice relaxed vibe inside.

Muy de moda, y un pequeño lugar muy ocupado! Tuvimos que compartir mesa con otra pareja, pero no era un problema. Plátano, canela, miel avena con semillas estaba bien presentado y sabroso, aunque tuvimos que pedir más miel! La única decepción fue mi taza de té. No creo que el agua estaba lo suficientemente caliente, así que nunca hecho correctamente - muy dishwatery, pero no quería armar un escándalo. Personal encantador y amable.

Hipster style of place for chillout and coffee and some food. Good to take your time with friends or yourself

We came for breakfast, we almost had dinner.

This is your typical lovely authentic coffee place where you can read and work and not feel under pressure to leave once you have finished eating - food and beverages are of a very high standard. If I lived in London this would be my regular coffee hangout spot.

Never been here before. It looks like a great specialist coffee shop with excellent looking cakes. My flat white was really well made but it just lacked a bit of punch in the flavour department.

Food is very good and coffe is good too. Issue is the multi-layer layout.as you have to go upstairs to get the coffee. However staff are friendly.

I've visited many coffee shops and I'm always excited when I encounter a new one. I had passed this place a few times but had not had the time to go in with the busy lunch hour.

A lovely Cafe with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious, perfect eggs benedict. The art displayed on the walls is a nice touch as are the mis-matched chairs.

This place is really cool to go to for work meetings and to do work or to study. The food is delicious!! Beautifully made and fresh. Excellent coffee and cakes. Great vegan and vegetarian options if you need that. I cannot fault this place!

Vi spiste brunch på Leyas og fik rigtig lækker mad. Granola med græsk yougurt og frisk frugt, porridge med banan og honning samt advocado på toast. Alle retterne smagte rigtig godt og potionerne var til at blive mætte af. Hyggelig omgivelser. Kan varmt anbefale et besøg.

I recently started to come in regularly after visiting Camden Market. I just go there because I like the good vibes of the local, the service and the cutest spoons they serve next to tea or coffee (cappuccino in my case). I tried once a slice of carrot cake and it was so YUMMY! - I would absolutely recommend it to people who don't like raisins as they are not in the cake. There are also some few games that you can take and play with your friends.

Lovely quaint place for breakfast. Small menu but good service. Right next to Mornington Crescent tube station.

Came here for breakfast, lovely little place with nice food, very enjoyable. This is NOT a criticism, but wish places would cater a bit more for customers who can not eat bread made with yeast and source other alternatives like Rye or Soda Bread

Ambiente curato, ottima offerta sia di dolce che salato per la colazione o uno spuntino.

Kwamen hier voor een lekker ontbijtje en het viel zeker niet tegen. Wij kozen voor een belegd broodje dat goed gepresenteerd werd en ook erg goed smaakte. De verse jus d'orange en Americano koffie maakten het af. Degelijk ontbijt voor goede prijs!

I went to this place for a business meeting. Great coffee, prompt service, nice decor (it isn't very big but it is surprising how many seats they have managed to fit in downstairs).

Déco sympa, accueil agréable et petit dej au top ! Nous étions 8 il y avait la place pour nous accueillir !

Siempre estoy satisfecho cuando visité este café. Ambiente agradable, buena comida, asientos cómodos por abajo. Café y sandwich de calidad siempre es genial! Especialmente me encanta su brunch, sencillo pero sabroso. es tan bueno lugar para estudiar y trabajar, pero no hay wifi es la única cosa que no tienen.

Leyas have changed their menu and it includes a really fresh and yummy vegan brekkie now. They've also started serving Bonsoy and Oat which is great. Their coffee is pretty good, but the service can be a bit hit and miss. Also time your visit right otherwise you won't get a seat.

El ambiente es delicioso: mesas de madera y sofas que te invitanna sentarte y leer un libro. Las bebidas son buenas.La comida (bocadillos, pasteles,...) es un poco cara para mi gusto, aunque a partir de las 3:30pm está a mitad de precio!

Non so per i brunch, la la colazione lascia molto a desiderare....Caffè americano bruciato, cornetto stile Bauli e almond cappuccino pessimo (caffè bruciato e schiuma inesistente).Buono invece il banana bread.

Used to love this place as it has a very basic menu they do well, but in the last 4 visits it's been so inconsistent. 1 time the 'cook' had gone home sick (fair enough, someone else should be able to cook) 2nd time it was randomly closed around 10, 3rd time around 12 they had 'stopped serving food,' no explanation given as to why. Finally today they had no eggs, their entire menu is eggs. Really disappointing customer service as they seem so indifferent to the problems and almost react as if it's your problem for looking for food. Worth a try but don't count on getting fed.

The staff are so friendly here and the coffee not to bad. There is seating downstairs but if you have a pushchair it's a little difficult. Would stop for coffee here again

Amazing food .. I had the granola which had just about everything in it! The fruit wasn't freezing and it was a massive portion .. but I ate it all! My partner had eggs royal which came with amazing runny eggs, delicious bread and amazing little side salad with pumpkin seeds and balsamic reduction .. also a bangin breaky ! Coffee fantastic too ! Xx

Stopped in here for lunch recently and we thought this was a great place to eat. I had the eggs avocado which is like eggs benedict but with the meat replaced by mashed avocado – great choice. The sandwiches were good also. Coffee was excellent – they obviously care about what the coffee tastes like here and it shows in the presentation and taste of the drinks. We ended up having 2 coffees there as they were so good. Staff were excellent. Downstairs in the sitting area they have a small toilet plus provide water too.

Great find at foot of Camden. Start your day there and meander up Camden to the Camden Market. Tasty food, such as Egg Florentine or Porridge. Cute atmosphere as well.

Cafe was clean cheerful . Menu was good choices of lite bites , full breakfast teas and coffees.Seating was ample area downstairs at rustic tables and comfy chairs. Free wifi and clean toilets. Food was well cooked , well presented and very tasty. Staff young and friendly. Worth the walk up the High Street from Chalk Farm. Please visit if in area. Will go again and the eggs benedict and royale as inspired me to have ago at home . Well done the cook.

Arrêt brunch avant d'entrer dans Camden. Endroit chaleureux et personnel sympathique. Possibilité d'emprunter des jeux de sociétés pendant sa pause déjeuner et/ou thé. Rapport qualité/prix correct : £12 plat + muffin. D'ailleurs le muffin chocolat custard est une tuerie ! Allez y sans problème

Fantastic little find in the Camden area. Rocked up just as brunch was ending but the lovely ladies and kitchen staff made my friend and I eggs...eggs Benedict to be precise. Well cooked and yummy. The coffee was great and with the food the bill was a very reasonably priced - £21 for two. The seating area downstairs is a good balance of comfy and practical so perfect for an informal business meeting. Give them a try-you won't be disappointed!

Pleasant atmosphere, variety of customers (designers, students, couples, families); quick service, tasty Poached Benedict eggs and Royal eggs, nice music. I would go back to eat my breakfast there again.

I discoverd this tiny restaurant/cafeteria by chance, wandering around Camden Town. Since then, i am a regular there, mostly for a late breakfast/brunch.Food is delicious, freshly made on the same day, with natural fruit juices that you can find only here.Don't miss the egg florentine, and ask for extra portion of mushrooms: the best I have tasted in London do far.Either for a light lunch, or simply for a coffee, this restaurant is simply a gem in the crowded Camden scene..

The staff , guy that served was really friendly and enthusiastic and I noticed engaged with customers. The women with long blonde hairy in a ponytail was polar opposite off hand rude and miserable, no eye contact and I notice practically dumped coffee on tables with no exchange....what's her problem she lets the business down, awful! Another waitress cleared my table with no interaction " are you finished" would have been just polite. Shame because the coffee and food is excellent.

The best latte on camden high street. Comfortable seating and friendly staff. Keep up the good work guys.

Before we went to the market we went here and ate our breakfast. The porridge and chia pudding where a bit dissapointing, but the sandwiches are really good in this place. We had one with whole wheat bread, egg and avocado and it tasted really good.

Le lieu reflète le quartier !! La carte proposée est typique de Londres. Idéal pour " take a breakfast ". Il fait un peut froid !!

We walked from Camden Market to seek out this place as we love our coffee and read the reviews. We would certainly visit again, though it wasn't perfect coffee it was pretty good. We found the staff pleasant and helpful, though the food was slightly on the expensive side. The seating downstairs was packed out mostly with laptops. We didn't mind sharing, but others might. More smaller tables would be a better option I thought that too much room was taken up with over sized leather settees - maybe more smaller comfortable seating would create more space, just an idea. Would visit again, thank you.

Came here Sunday morning and sat outside enjoying the December sun. Service was excellent as was the coffee. The pain au chocolate and croissant were OK if a little 'solid', no flaky pastry as you get in a good French bakery. The other food looked good so perhaps will try something different next time. It wasgreat to sit outside and enjoy an independent cafe serving good coffee and offering great service

Endroit un peu Hipster Avec une deco sympa et une bonne musique d'ambiance.Serveuse très sympathique.Breakfast très bon

Leyas is a nice little spot hidden away in busy Camden, we caught brunch (just) it's stops at 12pm on weekdays. It was tasty and nicely presented, however the poached eggs were not soft. The seating downstairs is comfortable and on a weekday never too busy. The staff are really friendly and even though the coffee machine was being repaired they handled it so well it wasn't an issue. It is average London prices and clean, however would be better if food was served later during weekdays.

Had an amazing coffee here, so thought I'd purchase a cake to go. As the lady picked up the cake about 10-20 fruit flies started to buzz around it. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, as it looked really great. I got home and bit into it and a hair was embedded in the middle of the cake. I almost threw up. They really need to cover their baked items - the staff must realised this too, as the flies were so obvious.

lovely cosy setup and all, lots of avocado choices which applies to modern culinary trends. Honestly it looks really really nice and the coffees and cakes are great but let's face it this you can find in too many places in London. What would make me come again and recommend it to my friends is a welcoming smile and some attention from the staff. On the contrary they were so rude to me they made me feel almost intimidated. Plus the music was a bit too loud - surely had I asked they would be more than happy to lower the volume a bit.....

I had a meeting in this lovely cafe on Camden High Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good coffee and great breakfast! In a world of fast food chains this place is a must! Recommend it! Only downside is a slow wifi connection

Der Kaffee und Cappu nur zu empfehlen, super lecker. Die Auswahl an Frühstück ist großartig. Super nettes Personal und coole Location!Einen Punkt Abzug wegen einiger Preise, die Toasts sind verhältnismäßig teuer, aber auch sehr lecker :)

Nice and cosy place, good coffees and breakfast meals. Price are mid-range but it is definitely worth it. Right next to Mornington Crescent station!

This is such a lovely little spot in the middle of busy Camden. Downstairs, you could be anywhere in the world! A great hideaway to get some work done or read with a coffee, with comfy Chesterfield sofas and warm lighting. Wholly recommend the chai latte.

Leyas provides good value for money compared to most other London being places who serve similar quality of food, higher prices and smaller portions. Would definitely revisit!

Had a lovely latte and red velvet cake here this morning and bale to sit outside which was nice, no seats inside as it was packed. Bit pricey but totally worth it. Also, the latte could have been bigger! But that aside I will be coming back for the cake! :)

Popped in for afternoon tea. Cakes were all lovely. I had the gluten free mandarin & choc chip. Really yummy.Love the old fashioned desks as tables .One member of staff was a bit unfriendly.The only real thing I'd like changed is that my iced coffee came in a plastic takeaway cup. PLEASE serve in proper cups!

We attended Leyas twice, 6 weeks apart. We noticed that the lady at the till had a bad mood, asdasdshe wasn't welcoming in any of her six senses. That wasnsdasdasdt the issue. Here is some points to consider.DRINKS=======I asked for a skinny latte, confirmed it 3 times with her to the point that it was annoying the team, twice in the two times I visited the place. The coffee arrived warm, not hot. How can anyone enjoy a warm coffee, a coffee is meant to be served hot, not warm. It could be that the barista is scared to burn the milk, I told her its fine even if she burns the milk.FOOD======The sandwiches were amazing, outstanding vegetarian rolls and perfectly toasted.Facilities========There is no disabilities access to toilets, the cafe is on three levels, with a small seating area on the ground, and a larger seating in the basement. You have to order your food on the very top floor.The chairs are wooden old/classic and although there are some sofas around, its not comfortable if you plan to use it as a workspace to do some studies/work.Verditct:

A 15 minute wait for a skinny cappuccino at 11am - unacceptable. This was compounded by the fact that someone who ordered their coffee after me received theirs first. The woman making the drinks was incredibly slow and offered no apologies for this. Seems like a nice enough venue but probably won't be heading back any time soon.

I discovered Leyas cafe a couple of months ago and it has made my gap year near London as tasty as you want it to be. Having tasted several types of brunch, although a bit expensive, I must say that this one is worth the price you pay.The granola bowl, the avocado on toast or the variety of sandwiches along with a nice cup of coffee will help you start the day.The lounge downstairs is the perfect environment to work or read a book, listening to some quiet music. As for my last visit, I was disappointed by the absence of brunch on the menu, this one being the last time I could come for that purpose.

great space, great coffee. nice place to go and work. i don't think there are any other decent independant coffee places in camden.

The cafe is nice enough and the service was friendly - liked the photo exhibition as wellHad the full brunch and it was nice, but I expected a larger portion for £10

Was taken here by a regular local and was really impressed by the breakfast we hadService was quickI had the veg special breakfastThe avocado was perfectly ripeCoffee was very specialVery filling breakfastDidn't need to eat again all day!Will definitely go back there Thank you

Fantastic place, fantastic food, fantastic people. They make a great brunch, too bad they end it at noon (they should really extend brunch to lunch time because they are missing out on a lot of good business). Do not get coffee to go, the cardboard cups they use leak 90% of your drink within minutes.

camino de camden marketing un oasis de comida sana y precio razonable. WiFi gratis de verdad, sin registros ni cosas raras.

I visit Leyas almost every weekend and I absolutely love it. The drinks are fab, (I always order a mocha - so good), the cakes are devine, as well as the brunch options and salads. All really nicely made with attention to detail and care. The staff are always really friendly and service is always quick.At busy times it can be hard to find a table, but sharing is often the case at Leyas. The atmosphere is so relaxed people don't mind sharing tables. That's what I love most about Leyas, its so relaxing, and its a great place to chill out and escape from every day life. This is partly due to the seating area being down stairs, under street level, so you feel almost hidden from the outside world. I have seen many business meetings take place here, so it provides service for all types of visits. Leyas also showcases local photography work which is really cool. As well as this it has free time out magazines to browse, as well as local papers. If you are choosing a seat, choose the sofa area at the back if it is free - so comfy!I would recommend this café to anyone, it is the best thing about Mornington Crescent. (only 2/3 minute walk from the tube station).

I've been to Leyas a few times and each experience has been pleasant and relaxing. The staff are friendly and if you go often enough tend to know your order from memory. Seating goes quite quickly upstairs but thankfully, they are more seating downstairs. I would say pricing is slightly overprice considering it's in Camden but the flavour of their coffees and homemade cakes.

My friend and I popped in for a quick bite whilst waiting for the barber across the road to open. The Eggs Benedict was a delight and very enjoyable. Served on batch brown toast rather than a muffin, and with some beautifully salty prosciutto ham, the hollandaise was perfect and the eggs poached exceptionally well. A sprinkling of chives was the perfect garnish. I would definitely recommend this dish.Service was quick and efficient, and the ambience was convivial.

Nice coffee shop in Mornington Crescent with a good selection of cakes. The interior is quirky and fresh, the coffee is nice and strong and the service is polite. I have tried their velvet cake and cinnamon bun, they are delicious.

Because I live very nearby, I go to Leya's often when I fancy a non-fryup breakfast. I pretty much always have the eggs avocado, because it's absolutely delicious and consistently great. The coffee is also good, although it suffers from the "independent coffee shop strength syndrome" - it's nice but you can rarely manage more than one. Prices are a bit steep, but then the quality of the food and pastries is definitely in a different league to the rest of Camden.The real drawback for Leya's, and I really wish they would do something about it, is the service. If you arrive when it's not a rush, it's fine. However, if you have the misfortune to arrive with even one other person, it all goes pear shaped. Today I had to go and get my own milk for my coffee, despite asking passing staff 3 times. I also had to ask multiple times for cutlery. I wish I could say it was the first time this happened. Also, there was only one trainee running a till, and they had no idea of what their priorities should be.It just seems that if there's any kind of a queue, they cannot cope at all. It's such a pity, because the food is so great and the service spoils what should be a lovely, lovely experience.Please Leya's, sort it out!

I visited Leyas on the weekend with a friend from France (I wanted to avoid all chains on purpose) and we both really enjoyed it. It was definitely bustling but our Leyas breakfast was delicious! Next time I would add an egg to it but it was certainly filling. The tables could probably be a bit better organised as there was 1 person spread out on a 4 person table and then 3 people crowded around a small 1 or 2 person table as there was no space. I will definitely visit again as the food was divine and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Quaint little cafe.Mouthwatering cakes and amazing breakfast!Extremely friendly staff Such a great find! Starting off my day on a positive note. ...

Basés à Camden pour un long weekend londonien, nous avons découvert Leyas au rez-de-chaussée de notre logement : déco simple et cool, assiettes sympathiques, service un brin distant mais pas de quoi troubler la très bonne impression générale. Une chouette adresse qui donne envie de s'y attarder !

Called for coffee and cake at around lunchtime. Nice coffee but very limited choice of cakes. Toilets clean and free wifi. Friendly service.

I went to Leyas several times because it is just around the corner from where I live. The coffee is really good and they have several different types of milk (soy, almond, ...). I also had a yoghurt with granola that was very good. They have seating facing the street and seating downstairs with cozy armchairs and sofas, so the atmosphere is very relaxed and nice. The only shortcomings are that the prices are very high and that the wifi sometimes isn't working well.

I have tried to support Leya's visiting every now and then in the dim hope that one day they may, just may get it right. I like to support our local independent eateries over chains, however this place makes it very hard to follow through. They are not cheap, there are other places you can have breakfast or brunch far cheaper and better. Customer's should not have to reiterate that poached eggs must be runny, because guess what owner of Leya, poached eggs are supposed to be runny! Also when one asks for the posher fare at just shy of £8.00, there is an expectation involved, hollandaise is not half a teaspoon per egg, hollandaise should envelop the eggs. Coffee should be hot not lukewarm, and service with a smile instead of sullen and sulky is preferential. I rarely, if ever comment on this type of experience, but anyone walking past Leya's, just keep walking, there are plenty of other places for brekky!

I ordered a Full English breakfast. . it was not full at all. It came a sandwich, a good sandwich don't get me wrong but for the price I was hopping for more. Nice cafe and decoration, not so nice staff.

Walked into this place with my fiancé today, and was excited to see they actually had Filtered Coffee. Walked up to the counter to ask the barista about the coffee, and she states this word for word: "If you want a proper American coffee you should try the Americano". I was dumbfounded since Americanos aren't "proper" American coffee - they're just espresso (burnt beans) with water in it. Meanwhile, I just went ahead and ordered the Filtered Coffee, which was a pour-over. It was a bit too fruity for my taste, therefore I think it must be Ethiopian or Kenyan, since they have quite fruity, bitter beans. Meanwhile, I absolutely loved the lounge area, and we grabbed some salads to nosh on whilst sitting and sipping our coffees - it was quite good! Overall, it was a nice little coffee shop, but they should perhaps explain to their baristas what a "proper" American-style coffee is.

Stumbled past key as on my way early morning to kings cross. The coffee was outstanding- lovely atmosphere, so decided to try one of the brunch options. Truly outstanding !

Whilst Leyas certainly looks the part for an artisan London coffee house, its food, service, and most vitally, the coffee, can only be described as sub par. I have visited a few times as we live close by and we're lazy, at best, my experiences have been average. I went recently and ordered a cafe latte and a chocolate brownie and was met with the usual curt service. When I sat down to eat I found the brownie to be nothing short of disgusting. It comprised of an extremely oily and salty sludge. I forced myself to eat two more mouthfuls in the hopes it would improve but had to give up and abandon my pursuit. The coffee was drinkable but not particularly enjoyable, it pales in comparison to other cafes in the area!

Leyas is my nearest coffee shop. Living less than a minute away, and being a coffee fanatic, it dawned on me that I haven't been in more than twice in the last year. We went in the other day in the afternoon. It felt like they were closing up, but to the staff's credit they were still friendly and happy to serve us some coffees. We got a couple of flat whites for the first time in a long time, and then I remembered why it had been so long. Clearly poorly extracted shots, served with dollops of burnt milk with no attempt at a pattern or even appetizing presentation. But fine, maybe they were having a bad day. They have Assembly coffee around the place, and seemingly scrapped using Union long ago enough that they're considered 'serious' about their coffee. We went in for a meeting the other day and the same quality problems came out with the coffee, except eating in seems to make it take 15minutes. You seriously order your coffee, go and take a seat, and wait a considerable amount of time for your drink. Nothing on order before us. It's a problem that has been there from the opening and if it still hasn't gone it's just a trademark. The decor of this place is fantastic, and it's great to duck in off the bustling high street. The upper deck style is always strangely comforting, and the trimmings like mint water and cafe del mar esque playlists make it fit for any purpose. The staff are genuinely always friendly and I'd even say the blue haired girl who served us gave amazing service. The food is yummy. But then all of this applies to the local Costa or Starbucks, and it isn't enough.

If you walk away from the main bit of Camden towards Mornington Crescent this little gem can be found. Brilliant coffee and salads. My favourite is the peach and parma ham one. Their baguettes are lovely too. For some reason I always think it is a little expensive, which I think may be unfair.

Had a really delicious brunch with a few friends. The smoked salmon with scrambled eggs was fantastic. Very cute little cafe, reasonably priced and the service was good.

Highly recommended for coffee addicts! Cozy place, where you can relax, listen to a good music. Recently I've tried cold almond Matcha tea, absolutely lovely!

I have been to Leyas twice now and have received excellent customer service both times. The food has also been delicious both times, and even though I visited when the shop was quite busy, I received my flat white very quickly. It was one of the best I've ever had. Thank you, and I will definitely be coming back!
