Maison Bertaux in City of London, Westminster

The scones are delicious~ However, it's too much to buy one scone and one tea per person, so make sure to share them.

My Korean friend took me to this place, it feels super local! I really loved the scones here, they were delicious and very reasonably priced. The coffee was great too.

Decepcionante. Sentí como si se esperaba que supieras exactamente lo que querías tan pronto como entraste y tomarte un poco de tiempo para mirar era un inconveniente. La manera y actitud antipática del personal de abajo - espero que estos eran los propietarios. Caro y no vale la pena. Muchos otros cafés en Soho proporcionan una mejor experiencia y mejores pasteles por su dinero.

We had an open run at 9:30 on Monday morning and they let us in a little before opening time. The scones... are so delicious and the clotted cream... ㅠㅠ I'll come again to get takeout❤️❤️

Crowded… pastries were heavenly. Quaint little place but cosy and homely.

Didn’t live up to the hype.. Scone is not bad but honestly I’ve been to better places in the UK. And I felt they were a bit stingy with the clotted cream. I mean if we ordered two scones, aren’t we supposed to get two portions of the cream accordingly?

Poor service, didn't get a chance to try anything as staff were rude, dismissive and told me to wait outside when I tried to enquire as to what cakes etc they had available. Asked for a menu to have a look and was told again to wait outside. Kept me waiting another 5 minutes while they laughed and joked amongst themselves.

Amazing scones one of the best in UK and fantastic coffee! The beautiful lady is a hidden gem in the streets.

Delicious scones with clotted cream and jam and amazing service! Can’t wait to return😊

Muchos buenos recuerdos de té y pasteles maravillosos en MB en compañía de Derek Jarman que me presentó el lugar. Muchas visitas felices desde entonces. Un lugar único con ambiente alegre.

I walked past this place every day for about 5 years and have never been in. Popped in today for something sweet - loads to choose from, I had a lemon tart which was very nice although I would have preferred it to be slightly more acidic but that’s personal choice. Service was great. Would return.

One of the Soho originals. First rank choice of cakes. Cream cakes are a speciality. Service though can be a bit short on smiles.

Spinach tart was too cold and like a rock solid. The interior (especially upstairs) feels dirty and out of maintenance. But croissant was delicious.

Scones with cream and jam are so delicious, a must order😋 By 10 o'clock, the desserts on the window have been replenished, but we are here for the scones❤️

Fabulosos pasteles y una gran olla de té! Justo lo que se necesitaba después de la matinal de teatro. Gran servicio peculiar y auténtico siempre un placer visitar

Wonderful bakery. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Service is excellent, despite the shop and restaurant always being packed full of customers. They take time to pack your takeaway orders nicely, so that your pastries arrive home intact. One of the best bakeries outside of France, imho.

Umcheom’s kind and lovely owner’s grandmother? The lady, who was new to us, taught us how to eat it and even spread cream and jam on it. The servers were all friendly too. It was a leisurely breakfast eaten outdoors. Even though the food is delicious, it's a lovely place because everyone is friendly and not blunt with the excuse of being busy. The hot scones were good, but the croissants would have been better if they were warm, but they were chewy and delicious even when cold, and both the white flats and black tea were delicious.

I went around 3pm and waited for about 10 minutes. I met 3 Korean teams~ I only packed plain scones and ate them at the hotel, but I was disappointed, perhaps because I had too high expectations. I think Layered Cafe in Korea has a more buttery flavor and a moist texture. I'll just be satisfied with my clotted cream experience~~ Plain scone with jam & clotted cream, 6.5 pounds (a bit more expensive for in-store dining)

Beautiful French-style patisserie with some good pastries. The place is split into 2: a very small place displaying all the products and where one places their order and then next door where there are some tables. All pastries are big and tend to be fruit based: apricot, almond and plums seem to be recurring ingredients. Pastries taste good but have not the best texture. One plain croissant was not well cooked in the center while a second one was dry. The almond croissant was also good but hard to cut with a knife. Going to the toilet is a bit of an adventure...

It's delicious to eat scones with clotted cream and jam. They said the scones were big, so we ordered one for two people, but it's a size that allows one scone per person. However, there are many Korean tourists and the interior is narrow and not comfortable. However, there is a restroom and it is clean.

Maison Bertaux is a quirky independent cafe, which is nice and which we would want to support. However, the cake didn’t live up to expectations. The cheesecake had so much gelatin that it turned out chewy, and the chocolate cake was too sweet. The real shock, though, came at the end: 2 lattes and 2 pieces of cake for £23.50! The value for money is poor. We didn’t expect to pay this much, especially considering that it's a simple café with basic cakes. Even some of Laduree's pastries are cheaper!

A French bakery founded by Mr. Berto, a communist who fled France in 1871. Karl Marx is also said to have been a regular. There is a house where Marx lived called Blue Plaque 5 minutes away, so it is worth a visit. It seems like Koreans often have their cell phones stolen, so there is a notice posted on the counter.

I took out scones! The quality was excellent, the size was good, and the taste was delicious, so I was very satisfied. I'm happy to receive jam in a jar⸝⸝^ ̫^⸝⸝ The cream is also super delicious and 5 stars is not enough!

It was the best scone I've ever had. The combination of strawberry jam and clotted cream was perfect. ❤️ There were a lot of people, Fortunately, I was able to sit down and eat. The inside is a bit small and there are a lot of people, so it was better to eat outside. The scones from last year are still unforgettable.

It's very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. It has a local feel and it looks cool that the British gentleman at the table next to me is having tea time :)

Amazing french patisserie that gives off “my grandmother’s bakery” vibes. Bakes were absolutely delicious, scones & clotted cream was a 10/10. The cafe is a small space so you might be squeezing with the table next to you, but the bakes were well worth it.

Maybe because I’m not a chef so I’m still not fully versed with the unfettered joys of a full wholesome freshly baked croissant - but I didn’t quite like it. Soggy, heavy, sugary, butter, thick goey cream and lots of flakes. Very old school. Not bad if it gives you joy. Just not my cup of tea.

Friendly staff, classic teapot, super yummy cakes! My favorite is the scone wz cream n jam. 😋🎶🎵 Very busy in the weekend, but still worth to queue. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The best scones I have had in London

cheesecake was lovely, staff were so kind and helpful ! would come again !

Always a nice place to sit after all the walking. Pastries are really nice and fresh. We arrived before noon and some of the staff are already a bit rude and unhappy except for the really nice sweet lady.

This is the worst London bakery that ignores customers with their English pronunciation. I heard that a lot of Koreans visit there, so I believed it, but it was a really unpleasant experience. Worst London bakery to ignore customers with English pronunciation. Quite impressed by the counter male employee's etiquette. Thank you for giving me a bad memory of London.

It’s friendly and has a nice store feel! It was more expensive to eat inside, so I took it away and ate it at the park, and it was nice that they added enough jam and clotted cream. Since I came to the UK, I thought I had to eat a scone at least once, so I ate it and it was okay. There is also a clean bathroom on the second floor. (But the scones eaten in Korea are more delicious haha)

The best scones of my life..🥹 Jam and cream go so well with heavy and fluffy classic scones!! There were many other delicious menu items and the Victoria cake was delicious too! There were many locals as well as Korean tourists, and there is a high possibility of waiting in the afternoon, so I recommend the open run! It's so delicious that I recommend packing it up and taking it to Korea 👍🏻 As you can tell from the many reviews, the owner is kind, lovely, and friendly, so it seems like a warm atmosphere. The other employees are also kind, and I have such great memories!

The scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, and hot tea were all excellent.

Don't arrive too early! Don't arrive too early! Don't arrive too early! It’s very important, so say it three times! Although it opened at 9:30 in the morning, it was so early that many types of cakes were not ready and put out yet. If you come too early, you will only have a bunch of croissants and scones to choose from. Therefore, it is recommended to arrive after 10 o'clock, or even after 10:30. The only advantage of arriving early is that you don't have to queue to get a seat right away, but after we finished eating and checked out, we saw a lot of cakes coming out one after another and felt it was a pity because our stomachs were already full. The portion of the cake is huge, so if you have a small stomach, it is recommended to share it with several people. I personally think the cake tastes pretty good. Will not visit again

Rude staff, don't asc if u need help or anything Instead of a cue they help the last person to come in , very slow Would not recommend

The scones were full of buttery flavor and so delicious. The owner and employees are all friendly and smile. I felt better. I recommend it 😊

Of course, it's better than Korea, but there are so many delicious scone restaurants in the UK that I don't think it was special. For your information, the bathroom sink here has a slightly unusual structure. I was embarrassed when I washed my hands.

Despite very nice sweets, the take away service is bad.

Another london hotspot. Very tiny cute teashop.

When I visited, the restaurant was quite busy. I had a piece of cream cake, which was large and had an abundance of fresh cream. Unfortunately, the cream didn’t taste very good, and I felt it wasn’t fresh. I couldn’t finish the whole piece. Perhaps I chose the wrong item, but I’m unlikely to return.

Nice service, good pain au raisin but their almond croissant was too dense, too dry.

This place is so friendly and the food is delicious.

I have been here a few times. Their cakes are always nice and fresh. The scones with the cream and jam were just perfect to me. It’s a really nice place for dessert or afternoon tea.

The place where you can see the most Koreans in London Everyone on the 2nd floor is Korean haha. The earl gray tea was delicious (I don't like tea in the first place), and this was the first scone restaurant that served fragrant tea with a burst of flowery scent and so much clotted cream.

I went on the first day, but it was late and there were a lot of items out of stock. I went again the next day. As expected, it’s delicious and there are a lot of people. Explains things well and is kind. It felt good The most pleasant staff

It's crazy. It's just a Korean-made restaurant. You'd better go somewhere else to eat there. The coffee is not good and the owner is rude.

For a moment, I thought I had entered a British cafe in Korea. At the entrance to the store, there was even a notice written in Korean, written in what appeared to be British handwriting, telling people to be careful of pickpockets. It's a small bakery famous for scones, Britain's representative bread, and many people seem to visit because of the interior and atmosphere that resembles a movie set. The owner's grandmother's posh British accent also plays a role. I ordered scones, milk tea, and the recommended cheesecake that were on every table around me. All in all, the price is close to 30,000 won, which is quite expensive even considering that it is London. Milk tea, also known as English tea, consists of black tea and milk served separately, so you can mix them to suit your taste. Adding milk makes it soft and savory, but it is slightly greasy so don't add too much. The scones are so light that you can only taste the flour, so it's best to eat them with plenty of strawberry jam and butter. You shouldn't think of it as a sweet scone with raisins and stuff like that here and there. The cheesecake had a thin sheet and plenty of cream cheese, so I personally thought it was just so-so. I'm not sure about the taste of the dessert, but it's the best place to feel British when you're in the UK.

The BEST cakes. A freshly-baked apricot Danish is absolute heaven. Expect to pay a tad more - but it's worth it. Unique Soho experience.

The staff were friendly, and I went around 9:30 a.m. on a weekday and was able to sit down without waiting :D The scones were so delicious that they were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, but they were so cut that it was a bit difficult to eat them all by myself! I've never had a scone like this in Korea, so I highly recommend it.

I’ve been here many times. The cakes are the best in London and I dream about them all the time. The cheesecake is so soft and melts in your mouth. The Mont Blanc is the best ever, and the lemon custard éclair is so exquisite. If you are a dessert lover and hate the bland, run off the mill chains with their boring bland cakes, then you must come here. It has the air of a Parisian cafe. You can sit outside and imagine you are Toulouse Lautrec.

Aside from the taste (the coffee doesn't taste good), they force all Asians into the basement~^^ At first, I thought there were no seats, but when I went in, it turned out that there were empty seats and everyone upstairs was white. My husband said it would be better to be quiet, so I didn't ask to change seats, but I felt bad, and only Koreans kept coming into the dark, dirty interior, and the basement without a single ray of light.

The taste was honestly sour and the cream seemed delicious. There are a few foreign teams on the first floor. Some of them may have collected it in the basement, but Koreans have it in the basement. I think the cream tea costs about 11 pounds. The service is just… . It was okay ㅜㅠ The server was okay, but the other server was sitting still. He fucked me and sighed loudly..? What are you going to do when you put it on yourself? If you're passing by, you might want to stop by Soho. Um... I don't have to look for it I don't think there's any need to go It wasn't very delicious, but maybe it was advertised in Korea? It was a strange restaurant with only Koreans.

# Overall: Maison Bertaux is a lovely French patisserie to visit for the vibes. # Ambiance Maison Bertaux has a nice cafe aesthetic and all the pastries are up for display. There's plenty of seating outside in addition to the ground floor and first floor where there's a quaint and cozy atmosphere. Where this establishment really shines is in its customer service. Everybody on the staff was kind and helpful. We were given plenty reminders to watch out for phone swipers as we sat outside. # Food and Drink English Breakfast Tea I really liked that they provided an extra pitcher of water so we could replenish the tea as we drank it. Plain scone This scone was on the dryer side and the clotted cream was on the thicker side and didn't spread as well, but the overall taste was still good. Ham and Cheese Croissant Even after going to Paris, this is one of the better tasting croissants that I've had. Perhaps I just don't enjoy croissants, but the flavor was good here.

I found a little fly and i told to the waiter and he showed to the chef, and the lady came back to me saying I can eat it anyway cause its only for the jam, they got attracted. They didnt even change give me a new cake and not even a discount. Very disappointed plus I couldnt finish thinking about it. Never again here.

Treated my Mom and 2 children to a cake and drink before going to see MJ the Musical today. Perfect location for a delicious treat near to many of the theatres. We had been here previously, several years ago, so it was lovely to fall across it again today and be served by the owner who I had remembered from our previous visit. Despite being so busy, she took the time to help us decide which of the many delicious cakes to try and was so kind with my children. The chocolate eclair that I and my daughter went with were sublime and my son raved about the amount of delicious jam in his choice. The children also absolutely loved the organic lemonade and said it tasted ‘so lemony’! I pointed out it actually said ‘lemony’ on the bottle! My mom found her Millefoille absolutely scrumptious too. A very busy spot but very accommodating in finding us a table and perfect location offering delicious cakes and excellent service.

There was no great emotion The clotted cream is sticky and everything is good, but the cup is chipped and discolored, so I didn't like it. This is not a house you need to visit.

This place has a lot of great things to eat, and you can see it right from the window of the store. The place is a little small with seating upstairs as well, but it may be crowded, depending on the day you go there. I recommend getting a scone and/or a tea. If you are going there with more people, try to get a variety. A nice place to rest before going around other parts of the London city.

A place you don't have to waste time on.. It's not special at all. It is an atmosphere and taste that can be fully experienced in Seoul.

As famous as it is, it is a great restaurant with nothing bad about the taste, service, or atmosphere. This is a store that makes you feel good, especially thanks to the energy of the employees. There is a bit of a wait, but it's definitely worth the wait.

I like this messy French vibe!!!!! lots of choices of ultra-creamy decadent pastries and I had such a hard time picking just one thing. went with a little chocolate choux after all, and it was nice although you could tell it was just custard with a dash of cocoa, and i would have liked it way more if they committed more to the taste of chocolate. otherwise, it was still enjoyable. my boyfriend got a pain au chocolat that was huge and filled to the brim with chocolate, much appreciated!!! :)

I can describe this cafe with a sentence. Poor service, normal taste. Also, the table is soooo tiny for adults. That experience was very uncomfortable.😔 It's a scone place that a lot of Koreans go to, but the service isn't very good and the taste is average.. The servers were confused about the order, so they confused it with other tables, so I kept saying no, but after asking 3 times, the tea and dessert came out about 15 minutes later.. And what? It's a better place!!!!!! It was a bit uncomfortable because it was so close together. I don’t recommend it~~~~~

Very tasty but very large scones. Tight space to sit and relatively expensive, hence 1 star deduction. But otherwise very good

weirdly popular with Koreans, quality is 'okay'

Nice strawberry tart. Friendly and helpful staff.

It is just an average place, not rly bad nor not rly good. We got a table upstairs and the place was quite tiny. The scone wasn't served warm. The server spilled the tea little by accident but he didn't clean the table nor the kettle as u can see in the picture. I went there because it was said to be a good restaurant among Koreans, but I don't think it was very delicious. It was full of Koreans and no locals, so you couldn't tell if it was Korean or British. Especially since the name of the restaurant is French and they only sell British scones and tea, it's a Japanese restaurant in Chinese. I don't think it has an authentic feel. I went there because they told me to go to Audrey Green below, but they don't specialize in scones, and even though I went there in the morning, they weren't there... Don't bother eating expensively here, just go to GAILS. I recommend going! Just that quality.

Pricey, but very delicious fresh scones! Kind services, lovely English afternoon tea.

Actually the cheesecake not as i think is the classic tastes cheesecake. Not my fav taste anymore. The extra layer cake at the bottom is stiff Emmm It tastes bad! Their service is not bad.really kind the lady served. The environment is normal. Really crowded and chaos. If u prefer silence Cozy cafe. This cafe probably not suitable for u. I went to try the chocolate cheesecake is not i expected that the chocolate mix with cheese, But not bad. And my friend ordered strawberry cheesecake, the strawberry on top is too stiff. Overall, dessert in normal, but the place is not bad for hangout with friend.

Good sit-down stop for a scone with cream & jam and a cappuccino. Very tight interior, but should be fine if you’re a small party of 2.

The prices are high but the scones (accompanied by cream and jam) are delicious, as are the teas/infusions. The waitresses are pleasant… and the other pastries are tempting. A place to try but too expensive to go there often/several days in a row.

¡Escuché cosas buenas sobre este lugar y no nos decepcionaron! Tomé dos pasteles y té para 2... y el cheescake original wow! Es muy pequeño y pintoresco para sentarse, pero la selección de pasteles está fuera de la escala - Ir a probar por ti mismo

The waffles are crispy and paired with clotted cream, perfect I didn’t expect scone to be so delicious without being reheated! The uncle who is responsible for placing orders downstairs is also very kind. I like the warmth of this old store.

I tried the croissant and it was a cheese croissant and it was the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten in my life

It's such a cute, pretty and delicious place. The people who served us were all very friendly 👍👍👍 The chocolate cake wasn't that good, but the almond apple tart?? It was delicious!! There are plenty of seats on the second floor and the bathroom is clean.

Wonderful food, great choice of sweet and savory, the internal environment (the room) is shabby and not particularly comfortable and welcoming. Very high prices. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Excellent scones, pain au chocolat, hot chocolate. Romantic, typical english atmosphere.

Maison Bertaux in London was an absolute gem I discovered during my solo trip last year. If you're looking for a quintessential English tea and scones experience, this is the place to be. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt transported to a classic, charming tearoom. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing afternoon treat. The star of the show, of course, was the tea and scones. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and homemade. The scones were perfectly crumbly and buttery, and the clotted cream and jam were the perfect accompaniments. Paired with a steaming pot of tea, it was the ideal way to indulge in a traditional English afternoon tea. There was a bit of a wait when I visited, which is a testament to its popularity, but it was absolutely worth it. Maison Bertaux offers a truly authentic and delightful experience. The combination of delicious treats, charming atmosphere, and classic English charm makes it a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable afternoon tea in London. I highly recommend it and would gladly wait in line again for another taste of their wonderful scones.

The taste is just right, but the problem is that one scone costs 7 pounds = 13,000 won... . Crazy price The line is long and the seats are narrow. You don't have to go. Unless you're really curious and going crazy, you really don't have to go... audrey green < go to this store, not here. Of all the scones I've tried in London, this one has the best bread jam cream. I didn't even take a picture, so I'm posting the store I just mentioned. I didn't receive any money from that store. I'm posting this because I'm really upset that I burned over 30,000 won for 2 scones + tea at this store.

This is a great place!🌈 I don't usually write reviews, but it was so great that I wanted to share it! ! 💯 I visited just after noon! I was greeted by a very nice old lady who looked just like the one in the picture (she looked like she was making sweets). They seemed busy, but they greeted me with a smile☺️ Order scones, cake, and tea! ✨️ It was a small store, but there was just enough space, so I was able to sit down without waiting! There were both tourists (especially Koreans) and locals! I felt very happy with the very cute store and the delicious sweets 💕 I think it's less sweet overall! ! A Japanese staff member happened to be there, and he told me about some recommended places, which made me very happy! Good memories 🥰 I definitely want to come again next time! I highly recommend it! 🫶🏻

Excellent, the cakes are delicious, highly recommended,... the only bad thing is that it is super small, but you can order to take away ☺️

Very popular spot judging by the number of patrons waiting to have a seat upstairs. Lots of bakes and pastries to choose from as well as drinks. Perfect for breakfast or tea.

After waiting for over 35 minutes because my order was missed, the Earl Gray tea I received was noticeably different from the tea my friend received. It was very light in color, lacked flavor and aroma, and wasn't even warm, as if it had already been steeped several times. I requested an exchange and received a new one, but I was suspicious that someone else's drink might have been the wrong tea. I visited with high expectations after seeing good reviews, but it was a very disappointing experience.

Typical noisy tourist cafe. I had a very bizarre afternoon tea experience where I couldn't find anything relaxing while drinking tea.

A great place to have tea and taste an excellent cake. Highly recommended.

I ordered scones, strawberry tart, and tea. It wasn't as good as I expected, but the taste was okay. However, I don't know how many times the seating information went down and up because of poor communication between employees. The slightly older employees were very nice, but I was surprised that a woman who looked a little younger responded very rudely. Only the scones and tarts came out, but the tea didn't come out, so I was waiting, and the orders of people who came later than me were all served, so I just asked when they would be served☺️...

Very popular and typical place. The exquisite sweets. Great coffee and tea. Of course, there are a lot of people and the place is small, so you have to wait and queue. The service is magnificent

I will not recommend eclaire and strawberry cake. It is not a genuine original eclairs at all, just a cream chantilly filling , big disappointment. The strawberry cake was also the same, butter cream filled, no custard. I like I scammed.

The owner was very friendly and the staff were all very friendly. The bread was delicious, but not to the point where I was really impressed, just mediocrely delicious.

I was seated in the corner of the shop. It was hard to squeeze into the seat, and the table was not clean. It's understandable when the store is popular, but it was so awkward... The scone was served cold (surprisingly) with jam and cream. The coffee was terrible, as you can see in the photo, which was kind of expected since this is a bakery. The worst part of the experience today was that all servers looked really unhappy except for one person. I had to ask for serviettes more than 3 times, and when they finally brought them, they nearly threw them at me. I also asked them to heat up the scone, which they didn't do properly.It's not worth visiting just for scones here. If you're around and want to experience scones in a small cafe packed with people, maybe! Visited this place since it has nice reviews amongst Korean.. very disappointed

It was just an ordinary cafe rather than a scone restaurant.

A cute and cosy place for fresh French artisan cakes, with artwork on the walls. Great cakes! You do feel like you’re in a patisserie in Paris and not in Soho!

The staff are wonderful. The food is sublime. Always recommend to people I meet at work, looking for places to visit in London.

Pasteles absolutamente lucidos. Sin embargo, el café es sabroso y muy lleno de mesas ridículamente pequeñas apretadas juntas. El nivel de ruido es terrible, por lo que es difícil escuchar a sus compañeros hablar. Pasamos de una mesa cómoda, aunque muy ruidosa, en el sótano a una patética mesita apretujada en un rincón diminuto, de nuevo rodeados de grandes grupos de personas gritándose unos a otros. Dado el costo de los pasteles (£ 22 por dos pequeños cafés y cocas) realmente arruinó la ocasión.

I didn't have high expectations because it's a place that a lot of Koreans go to. Unlike Korean scones, the scones were soft on the outside. Perhaps because I ate it right away, the scones I packed the next day were hard. It's delicious eaten with clotted cream and jam.

Best pastries in London for food price and coffee ❤️❤️❤️

Sublime cheesecake, I had to have a second slice. Tea and coffee really good and lovely staff. You could spend half an hour just looking at the cakes in the window. Very fair prices too for high quality cakes, all made from scratch on the premises.

I love scones that don’t taste like flour! The taste of clotted cream was felt here. There was plenty of cream so I was able to spread it on a lot!

The food is good and the place is cozy. But the kettles and filters were really dirty

It was a rare act of kindness in England. I packed it and they packaged it carefully. The female staff was so lovely🤍 The scones were so soft and creamy that they were delicious.
