Mikel Coffee in Kensington and Chelsea

We arrived promptly for our reservation and waited outside to be seated, as instructed by a sign at the door. Multiple staff members looked at us through the glass window but did not engage with us. There were many empty tables inside and no one else waiting outside, so it’s not like it was too busy for us, we were simply being ignored. After a while, I opened the door to get the attention of someone, only to be literally shooed away by a member of staff. If it weren’t for the no-show fee, we would’ve left at that point. After waiting outside for almost 15 minutes, we were finally invited in (and marked as late!). From the moment we sat down we felt rushed and unwelcome; the staff were not friendly at all. The food wasn’t great either. In summary, our dining experience was pretty uncomfortable and left a bad taste in the mouth. Wouldn’t recommend.

90minutes for dinner! very tight seating and relatively loud. food was generally nice or at least good. portion sizes for sharing. but we were asked to leave after 85 minutes for dinner (730pm seating). we weren't told when we sat down. at booking about a week earlier, we had understood a more normal 2 hour slot (possibly our mistake but would be normal to be reminded on the evening). either way, 90 minutes is not enough and means we won't come back. the rest of the experience would have been fine or even great, it would be easy to fix.

Food was insane -so tasty. Atmosphere quiet but it was Sunday afternoon so expected. Loved the decor, the Chelsea feel all the attention to detail, will so be back 💙💙

Interesting place. Seems like a neighbourhood gem but also kinda rough. Had a nice coffee and filo pastry. It place has sort of charming yet grimy vibe.

Nous sommes allés au Daphne's suite aux nombreuses publications sur Instagram qui étaient alléchantes. En effet cadre chic et cosy validé, mais dîner bruyant en réalité. Le personnel est très accueillant et disponible. Concernant la nourriture, c'est bien mais pas non plus extraordinaire ! Vous aurez affaire à des plats simples mais au prix élevé ! En somme l'endroit est sûr côté. A peine la bouche terminée, l'assiette est partie.
