Paul in City of London, Westminster

Nach einem anstrengenden Besuch der St.Pauls Cathedral absolut zu empfehlen.Die Toilette sollte man sich lieber sparen.Das ist absolut eklig.Männer und Frsuen benutzen das gleiche WC und geputzt war es schon lange nicht mehr.Es gehört dringend öfter gereinigt und renoviert!

After visiting St Paul's, this was the closest establishment offering refreshments. We ordered cakes and coffee which were fine. However, after paying extra to eat in, found that the tables were full with people hugging empty cups and hogging the tables. I did ask for my money back, during negotiations, a table did become available. Once seated I regretted it, as the tables very dirty and rather sticky, the near by bin over spilling with rubbish. I left as quickly as possible.

Stopped in for a couple of sandwiches to go for lunch and enjoyed them very much. Highly recommend.

Really nice salad, great cappuccino. Prices very reasonable. Recommend for a speedy lunch. Tables only outside

Do not buy tea from this outlet. It was no more than a hot watery cream liquid with little tea content. If you are looking for a cup of proper tea shop elsewhere

I went here with my son for a quick bite and a coffee. I ordered three mini doughnuts to eat in and was told by the server it would only be a few pence extra to buy five, so I took up his offer. However he deliberately left out the eat-in surcharge so it was around £1.50 extra. I felt cheated already. The cappuccino I ordered was not good and had only a tiny amount of steam milk. When I asked for it to be remade, the girl serving muttered loudly that she'd never been asked to remake a coffee before. One of her colleagues told her to shush but she did it deliberately within my earshot. I let it go but her arrogance was shocking. I will avoid this place in the future.

Conosco questi locali in tutto il mondo… Questo sporco pieno di ragnatele tavoli che nessuno pulisce lo devono fare i clienti….. Ovunque ordini e ti consegnano al tavolo qui no anche se sono una ciurma lavorare….. Super sconsigliato

I visited while going to see St. Paul's Cathedral and it was one of the food highlights of my trip! I ordered a caramel latte and a chocolate croissant and both were absolutely delicious! I had stopped on one of my first days in the city and I talked about how good both the coffee and croissant was for the rest of my trip! When visiting St. Paul's this is the perfect location to stop for a quick snack and coffee break before or after the visit! I definitely recommend stopping by this location or any of their other locations while visiting London!

Sosta a pranzo dopo la visita alla Cattedrale. Si trova proprio davanti all'uscita di quest'ultima, dopo al visita alla cripta. Dispone di tavoli esterni ed all'interno, anche se questi ultimi non sono parecchi. Abbiamo consumato degli ottimi panini, freschi e croccanti e ben conditi. Unica pecca non vendono birra. Prezzi nella media londinese, ottimo posto per un break.

We went in after a boat cruise and good walk. Feeling peckish, we tried 2 different sandwiches w/a cup of coffee and cold drink. The bread of the sandwich was excellent. Felt so fresh and tasty. A bit like a sandwich in France, which is always a happy memory. There is seating inside and out and has lovely big windows allowing light and view. Feel good spot for a break in the day.

We were in the area of St Paul's Cathedral and where better to stop for a simple lunch than at Paul, right opposite the cathedral. The staff were busy but very friendly, and we had a nice lunch and rest. The upstairs seating wold have benefitted from better views outside, but the structure of the building did not allow for that. There were some ancient-looking wooden beams in the ceiling, which made one wonder if they are original, as the building itself did not look that old. There was only one unisex toilet, which could have been better cleaned.

After our disappointment with the welcome at Paul's in Lower Thames Street the previous day, the young woman serving us could not have been more friendly or helpful (she had longish hair that otherwise might have been very curly). We enjoyed a very welcome visit after a trip to the cathedral. I was tempted by the pork pie again and not at all disappointed.

Ordered a Birthday Cake Collection on 19th February was ready to collect. Excellent Service , swift and very professional from the young person who served me.

While the stand of food looked appealing, the rolls were dry, we were given saucers to put our food on and having cooked many a scone during COVID lockdown I think I am able to judge them. The scones came to the table frozen!!! When sent back they toasted them! You toast tea cakes. The tea was ok. The waiting staff were lovely.

Delicioso croissant de almendras, pero estoy de acuerdo con el crítico anterior en la selección limitada. Era la hora del almuerzo temprano y no había mucha variedad. El croissant de almendras estaba delicioso. Yo también quería un moka con leche no láctea, pero la niña me dijo que la mezcla de chocolate tenía leche de vaca, así que solo comí el croissant. Servicio amable y rápido. Bonita rama. Limpiar. Solo asientos al aire libre en la actualidad con distanciamiento social bien gestionado tras la pandemia de COVID-19. Sin embargo, una vez que haga más frío, tendrán que pensar en abrir el área de asientos de arriba o solo será para llevar.

The food choice was very limited. We paid to eat in the restaurant and there were no tables so had to sit outside in the cold to eat our lunch. A most unpleasant experience.

A nice cafe near St. Paul’s Cathedral. Nice range of pastries. Only one toilet. Has an upstairs seating.

We went in here to get out of the rain and so did lots of others so the small upstairs area was packed! We had good quality tea and 5 mini doughnuts for £3 and they were good! Shame about the weather as there is a nice outdoor area overlooking the side of St. Pauls Cathedral.

We love visiting the Pauls cafes and this one meets all our needs. Good food and hot drinks and located in the shadow of a historic cathedral.

just travelled down from Norfolk, needed refreshments after getting off tube at St Pauls. Qick efficient service good coffee and cakes.

The cakes are delicious, the staff look harrassed but are friendly, the Earl Grey tea was delicious but the coffee was awful. Vile with an extremely bitter aftertaste. I had to throw it away - 2nd worse coffee I had in one day in London.

Excellent location looking out at the steps of St Paul's cathedral. Good coffee. But glacial service, messy tables and broken chairs.

Hicimos un recorrido a pie por Londres que incluía una parada en la calle. La catedral de paul Mi guía, y otros guías de otras excursiones que noté, nos dijeron que podíamos ir a la tienda de regalos de la catedral para comprar baños y bocadillos. En cambio, miramos a nuestro alrededor y notamos que Paul está al otro lado de la calle, desde la entrada a la tienda de regalos de la catedral. Tenían excelentes pasteles y postres. El café era bueno y especialmente aliento a que incluyan el "chocolate caliente indulgente" en su menú. Si eres un fanático del chocolate, debes amar esto.Veo otras críticas que se quejan de la limpieza del baño. No nos dimos cuenta de eso en nuestra visita. Estaban bien Supongo que es difícil mantenerlos limpios como la calle. La catedral de Paul recibe una gran cantidad de visitantes y probablemente haya mucha gente que ingrese al restaurante de Paul cuando esté en la zona para ir al baño y tomar un café y un bocadillo.

This Bakery shop is really nice and next to St Paul's Cathedral All is very good: delicious cakes, lovely pastries, selection of sandwiches and salads; pies and other bakes. Very clean and presentable, staff very friendly Highly recommend to visit. Delicious

Paré aquí para almorzar mientras paseaba por los sitios de Londres. Un pequeño y concurrido lugar con muy pocos asientos en el interior y tampoco hay mucho espacio para consultar para ser atendido. La comida era excelente, la selección excelente de sándwiches ensaladas y pasteles. El precio era caro para 2 para un croissant. Todavía disfrutaba la comida y la bebida. Solo uno más piensa que solo hay un inodoro y necesita el código del recibo para acceder. En las horas punta una larga espera. . . . .

Una bella pausa dopo la visita della magnifica Cattedrale, Ottimo cappuccino bollente, caffè e brioche freschissima. Personale molto gentile e accogliente.

Cuando estés en Londres, esperas que te timen, pero cuando los grandes carteles publicitarios junto a la zona de asientos al aire libre y encima del mostrador digan 3. 75 para café y pastelería, bueno, es demasiado bueno para ser verdad. Aparentemente, la imagen de un vaso desechable junto a todos los pasteles es la clave de que esta es una oferta para llevar solamente. También me dijo un miembro del personal muy incompetente que luchaba por hacer café en dos órdenes para leer la letra pequeña en el cartel que colgaba dentro del mostrador. ¡Buena suerte con eso! Entonces, a pesar del hecho de que la oferta también dice, en una escritura muy pequeña, sentarse en + 30 p, en realidad es 4. 70 para café y pastelería. No me hubiera importado el precio si el anuncio no me hubiera atraído.

Excellent food in a great location. The toilet could be cleaner though. Great Hot Chocolate and chocolate macaroon.

Visited here after St Pauls cathedral for a sit down and a coffee! Had a a snack and some hot drinks that were of good quality! Only issue is that if sit outside you get dive bombed by the pigeons!

Not the biggest Paul's I've seen but the staff are friendly and the Apple pie to die for. Right next to St Paul's this is real gem among a lot of overpriced trendy eateries.

I had a latte and croissant here in November 2018 after visiting St. Paul's Cathedral. You can see the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral from the bakery. In general, Paternoster Square and the area near St. Paul's Cathedral is a nice place to walk after you have visited the cathedral.

It was very hot and busy inside so to take our food and drink outside was a pleasure. The pigeons were a touch annoying but still sitting under the cathedral was kind of magical. The food was very good, We had quiche and reuben sandwich. The tea was giant and coffee good.

Great little cafe, been here a few times. Cosy, clean, with friendly staff and a great choice of stuff to eat and drink! Would most certainly recommend their hot chocolate, it's so rich and thick! Check this place out!

Great patisserie and would recommend the croque Reuben, however getting served was a chore due to the small area for taking orders. To get the autumn sun, go after 3pm as that’s when it hits the courtyard proper, otherwise it’s in the shade.

Just a pit stop but good tea and coffee and an excellent chocolate cake. Warm enough to sit outside and good WiFi.

A nice coffee shop with the usual excellent Paul’s bakery items available but with a small upstairs seating that is different with pew type of seats. Right next to St. Paul’s and adjacent square.

Needed a quick lunch, excellent tasty soup and pastries. Nice but small inside eating area . Very French.

I really appreciate this small restaurant that is right next to St Pauls cathedral. A baguette with brie and a delicious capuccino and I’m totalle happy.

Disappointing visit compared to other visits to Paul. Will be going to Valerie Patisserie next time.

Después de visitar la calle Paul, nos sentamos para un almuerzo rápido, aprovechando el almuerzo para 2 menú, que tiene una gran relación calidad-precio. Los bocadillos y pasteles siempre son excelentes y hay una gran variedad. El sonriente personal era muy servicial y amable, también. Mucho mejor que otras alternativas similares.

On se retrouve presque chez nous ! Des serveuses sympathiques, au pied de la cathédrale pour déguster un thé et des tartes ! Un bon moment !

The dome is very unique thing I ever seen before. It is the 2nd most beautiful ever made dome. It's good place to know about jesus christ followings .

This is a artisan bakery/café which does really good pastries, quiches & sandwiches. Sadly the rest does not match up - the coffee was very disappointing and the toilet was a disgrace. There is just one cubicle for everyone and it was a mess which is disappointing to see so close to a major tourist site. What our foreign visitors make of it I dread to think. I suggest the owners should stick to being a bakery and forget the café part. 5* for the food, 1* for the rest.

there is always an excellent choice of snack and pastries. Service is always prompt. Youcan sit outside too. good value and decent food compared to some of teh other places in this area.

Fare colazione davanti st Paul non ha prezzo. Buono il caffè ed anche la briochette che abbiamo provato

Visited twice in April for early morning coffee, open from 8am. Nice seating area opposite St. Paul’s. The cakes and pastries look really nice, and the venue albeit very small looked clean and tidy.

Visited today, no problem with service or the quality of the food and drink. However the toilets were filthy, paper on the floors which were wet and smelly, no useable toilet paper. Piles of used plates on the tables outside. We cleared one to use,...

Still a place that I love returning to. Great coffee and food, all with a french twist. Upstairs was busy both days that I was there this weekend. Very popular. Some seating outside.

Grandios, Great food nicely served, professional staff nice layout. A bit loud when crowded. Still recommended even for a business talk....

a nice café with standard Paul fare located right beside St Paul's cathedral, has some tables and chairs outside so you can sit there and gaze up at the cathedral domes

I’ve just popped in for a late morning baguette and coffee which was fine, albeit £7.50. I ate in upstairs and the place looked like a rubbish dump with most tables uncleared from previous customers. I mentioned this to the lady behind the till who...

Wasn't what I had in mind. After watching it on TV. was a lot smaller than I expected it to...

Typical Paul next the Cathedral. I stop here quite often to buy some treats for my family (they love the little doughnuts).

Café y croissant. No podría pedir más. Aunque PAUL es una cadena, sirven café y comida de calidad. Este lugar está justo al lado de la calle. La catedral de San Pablo, así que es muy agradable. El personal era agradable.

Yo tenía mi mejor pain au raisin en Paul, húmeda y rica bajo una oscura pegajosa. Sólo que no era un pain au raisin, fue y 'Caracoles de plátano y ese toque galés hizo probar todas las mejores. Fue mi elección de una maravillosa variedad de panes dulces y salados y pasteles para acompañar un café temprano en la mañana. El café tenía un buen sabor, pero no estaba suficientemente fuerte para mi gusto.

PAUL es una cadena de cafeterías más caro pastelería/sandwich de todo Londres. Solemos visitar el uno cerca de la calle Oxford y es particularmente pequeño y siempre está lleno. Sin embargo, la variedad de sándwiches, pasteles, etc. es fantástico. La primera escala es el PAUL, cerca de la calle. Paul's Cathedral. Tiene limitado abajo para sentarse, una zona de estar y un peculiar arriba estar fuera, lo que es encantador en verano porque puedes ver el mundo!

Conocí a un colega aquí para una reunión. Es escenario es perfecta, ya que está justo al lado de la calle San Pablo en el lado norte. Tiene un montón de sillas afuera que no usé porque era un día frío, pero luminoso.

Nice little place. It is very hard to find a place inside, it is very little but they do have a terrace outside with over 10 tables. Th location is nice, it gets sun after noon time.The macarons are amazing, I have one every time. I also like the mille-feuille(it is very very sweet). Last time I had a nutty eclair and it was not that great(the filling seemed a bit unnatural more like a cheap foam), I would not recommend this one.The downside is that it is always very crowded, you have to start the queue from outside and no matter how fast the staff is, it will seem long. Plus all the people crowd in there to see the display and pick their order.

Its a tiny cozy place beside St. PAul's and the ambiance is lovely. I had a delicious sandwich & Paul breads are to die for! Their coffee is nice too, and the staff here are friendly.

Les pains, les viennoiseries et... des soupes ma foi très bonnes et pas trop cher. Soyez patient pour avoir une place assise, mais c'est meilleur que dans bien d'autres concurrents sur le même segment.

Great place for a snack, queuing is not very british as the place has very limited space and theres a bit of a free for all to get to the counter. Coffee and quality of food are redeeming features.

Muito bom para comidas rapidas, chocolate quente ou café! Adorei! Voltarei! Atendimento rapido e preço justo

메뉴는 다 비슷하고 맛도 다 비슷합니다.여름이라면 야외테라스도 좋지만 2층에 있는 좌석은 의자가 성당 성가대의자처럼 생겨서 특이했습니다.

Paul has been one of my favourite places wherever I go, for its pain au chocolat or macarons.It's a choice you can never go wrong for. It smells so good and everything is tempting here.On the other hand, the place is quite small and the restroom needs definitely to be improved.

You just have to try the hot chocolate here especially in the London Winters! I wish I could pack some and get it back to India :)

I always try to to visit PAUL at St, Paul's. Your need to arrive early to get a seat as this place gets really busy and when you taste the cakes you will know why!

Delikat presentasjon av varene i disken. Vi valgte sesambaguette med camembert + Kaffe. Beste lunch! Vi satt i 2.etasje. Rustikk, sjarmerende interiør, autentiske kirkebenker å sitte på.

In Francia o fuori, questa panetteria / pasticceria è una certezza soprattutto per il pain au chocolat.Praticamente impossibile trovarlo buono fuori dalla Francia a meno di non andare in un Paul e gustarselo (peccato a Milano non ci sia!!!).

Love going to Paul cafes. Always good food and coffee. Great location (apart from pigeons!). Toilets are poor and could really be looked after better.

They make fantastic sandwiches from freshly baked bread. Limited seating upstairs with great view on St. Paul's Cathedral.

Great food ....lovely little cafe ..I couldn't bring myself to use their toilet as I thought it was horrendous.I told a member of staff and she thanked me and said they would get cleaned.To me the overflowing paper towels and nappies and the state of the toilet hadn't happened in the past hour so I think they need to check it more regular .

Excellent croque-monsieur and very good coffee, in the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral, what more could one ask for?

Voordat wij de kathedraal in wilde gaan was het eerst tijd voor koffie. De Starbucks heeft niet onze voorkeur. Toen ontdekte wij bakkerij Paul. Koffie in een kopje ipv in een meeneem beker en met heerlijk gebak. Een prettig en rustig adres voor een kopje koffie.

We piled out of St Paul`s Cathedral having not wanted tea in their hot undercroft cafe, and had a good cup of tea and a lovely tasty baguette here and sat outside in the splendid if freezing November air. Heartily recommended.

Love this place, especially upstairs.The seats upstairs are pews, or constructed similar to pews.You may actually miss that there are seats upstairs as much of the seating is outside.Really good for a rustic sandwich or as I often do, a pain au chocolate and a coffee to wind down / escape from things.Recommended if you just need to stop, take stock and recharge.

We stopped off here for afternoon coffee and cake. It is right under the shadow of the cathedral at the back and so affords an excellent setting. Coffee and cake was good so I'm happy to recommend.

Used PAUL in may places around Europe - this one is no different, they have a good understanding of the products they serve, particularly coffee and vienoiserie - it is easily the best coffee stop option in the StPaul's immediate area

PAUL chain tea rooms always have a great standard of food and drinks - including a great hot choc! Came woth family and understaffed - no seats inside and outside pigeons eating on tables not cleaned up :(

Im ersten Stock sitzt man in einem Chorgestühl. Es gibt feine französische Backwaren und feine Chocolat. Oft trifft man hier Geschäftsleute in ungezwungener Atmosphäre an.

One of the best croque monster I have had good service and unique venue under the shadow of St Pauls

Szerintem elég rossz a kávé, a többi termékük viszont egész tűrhető. A COSTA kávéját ajánlanám inkább aki kávézni akar.

O Paul existe em diversos pontos da cidade de Londres, inclusive um deles ao lado da Catedral de St Paul. Café com lanches, saladas e doces gostosos. Atendimento rápido, bom preço, pode comer no local ou levar. Normalmente, para sentar, paga-se um preco um pouco mais alto do que se comprar para levar. Bom custo beneficio. Recomendo!

朝食のパンを買いました。小さな店舗でしたのであまり種類はありませんでしたが、他にもマカロンやケーキが少しおいてありました。味はフランスと同じで美味しかったです。

Went by to grab a mozzarella and tomato sandwich. The bread was nice and crispy, sandwich itself was full of tastes. So, it was all good. But, salad was worn off, perhaps because of it was 4pm. So, it was not fresh, but probably made in the morning. Staff had conversation with each other, so there was no smiles, they paid no attention to customers after the order was done. So, i would say average experience as I hoped for small Italy.

日本でも時々訪れるパン屋さんがホテルの近くにあったので、思わず来訪。朝早い時間からオープンしているので、起きてすぐに買いにいっていました。近くにはベンチなどもあるので、テイクアウトして外で食べるのがおすすめです。

This place is part of a chain of bakeries popular in France. We bought baguettes from their bakery when we were in Paris so we were excited to find them during our lunch break from our London city tour. The Quiche Loraine and Salad Nicoise were good. Service was quick and friendly.

Great place for lunch after visiting St. Paul's just on the exit. Nice salads and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Bons cafés, et quelques en-cas, le réconfort au pied de St Paul après avoir monté les marches pour accéder sur le dôme de la cathédrale.

this is such a reliable great place for a quick bite or a breakfast. They always have lovely fresh desserts and pastries. Their strawberry parfait was out of this world. We stopped there on the way to the other sightseeing places we had outlined for the day. Service was prompt and courteous. There were plenty of tables plus alfresco dining .

Worth a visit to one of the several branches of Paul in London just for the hot chocolate. Indulge further in a pastry while reading your newspaper and your day is complete.

A truly nice location just behind St Paul cathedral. A wide choice of croissants and drinks, and a nice room for having breakfast. Italian waiters make nice the environment.

After long climb to the top of St Paul's dome, PAUL is a welcomed respite. Very nice sandwiches, salads, and soup. PAUL is a chain, and can be found at many locations around London. Always a good choice.

We have eaten at Paul restaurants throughout Europe and they never fail to impress, with excellent food and service. The various croques and quiches are really worth trying. Space inside is limited, but there is plenty of seating outside on a sunny day.

La comida es muy buena aunque con precios altos para el tipo de servicio. Falta limpieza y el sanitario estaba cerrado sin explicarse el motivo.

We needed a quick meal before a tour, so we stopped at the Paul near the Tower. The croque monsieur was covered in delicious cheese. Good coffee and pastries.

Nice and great desserts, but the tea is not as good and not well served.Toilet needs to be refurbished, small, old and not tidy.

Un paul..comme en France. Mais avec des serveuses parlant anglais :) Au moins on sait a quoi s'attendre, pas de surprises !

If you're looking for a great coffee and not your standard Costs etc... Definitely recommend choosing this place, can take a little longer than other places but always worth the wait!

Popped in for coffee and cake, service and food good but the cleanliness and toilets were very disappointing. In particular the toilet (only 1 of them) it says on the wall it is checked regularly by the management, it's not. Plenty of other choices locally.

You might expect to be ripped off on the shadow of St Paul's. Touristy area etc etc. I wish I could say not so but this place confirms the stereotype. Coffee and food ok. Supposedly French patisserie run by anyone but French people? No surprise. Over priced cakes? Yep. Cramped and busy? Normal. But shockingly unhygienic toilet? Not really expected.. Floors wet (and not from mopping I fear), wet tissues strewn about, smelly... If this is the front of house looks like...We won't be back. To any of this chain. Sad to say, maybe, but the ubiquitous Starbucks and Costas do a much better job. And I hate to recommend the safe bet. But I couldn't recommend this place based on today's visit.
