PAUL bakery in City of London, Westminster

This place is close to a major attraction so we knew the prices are higher as usual. Which is okay, but the place was quite dirty. Tables were not cleared, garbage on the floor and we did not use the restrooms since we've seen better one. Coffee, tea and snacks were nice and very tasty.

Here mid afternoon for tea coffee and cakes after visiting the tower of London. Order at counter and collect items as you go. Tables and floor were a bit messy and had to ask for table to be wiped. Perhaps it had been a busy day but better attention to the state of the tables would be due.

After wandering around the Tower of London, we sat outside this little French cafe on the riverfront, enjoyed a coffee and cake, and watched the world go by. My hubby had so many choices of patisserie yumminess, me: not so much. The macaron (only vanilla: the others were not g-f) was however delicious.

I can’t believe the negative reviews about this cafe! It was excellent. Visited with my two adult daughters. We had coffee and wonderful cakes - they have a wide selection. The location is amazing overlooking the Thames with wonderful views of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and great spot for people watching. The staff were friendly and efficient and the place was spotless. Definitely worth a visit.

Coffee ok, biscuits reasonable but very hard, need to dip into coffee, does not take cash, and toilets appalling, weeks worth of food sat in the bottom of the hand driers

Wow. Loved the sandwich, such great flavours. I always worry when sandwiches are ready and on display but I definitely didn’t need to, it was so fresh. The bread was amazing (an olive bread) and the sandwich had lovely fresh tomato and mozzarella with pesto and olive oil! I then could not resist getting the praline eclair with my coffee. It was excellent and not too sweet which I appreciated!

Worst coffee and bargain regret of my trip. Had a very long day sight-seeing and needed a coffee before catching my ferry back to my hotel. Saw Paul's and thought it looked like a decent cafe for coffee. Ordered a cappuccino looking forward to a caffeine boost. Received a half filled, frothy cup of milk and if there was coffee in it was extremely hard to find.

Noisy, very expensive, and unable to supply a pot of cream with a coffee. £11.35 for a coffee, a dishwater cup of tea and a tiny croissant. At this location this venue could have been so much more-it's just wasted on third-rate delivery and pretentious offerings.

Ridiculous management we ask to use the toilet they refuse us. Got charged extra for dining in but no room to sit,no chocolate sprinkles go latte. After spending so much money we are disappointed. The service was poor no tissue given. The staff was on their 1st day unable to give us a good coffee. The manager was a complete idiot as he got a reason for everything refused. And place wasn't clean.

We are regular customers as we live close by. It used to be great in here. Now the majority of staff are useless, the service is slow. Nobody seems to be in charge. A real case of disinterested blind leading the blind. Paul management you must be seeing a decline in your figures, please sort it out.

We always enjoy dropping into Paul here as it’s right in the hustle and bustle of the Tower of London and also boat taxi. Great range of snacks and drinks with a chance to sit outside or inside. Only downside is that it does get windy being next to the Thames !

All I can say is, if you don’t want to work there…just leave! Asked what we wanted by one miserable server, who put the cold toasties in a bag and went on to the next customer, giving our toasties to another misery guts who took our coffee order and gave me the toasties…the look I got for the inconvenience to actually have them warmed up was incredible, even after “warming” they were cold…decent coffee but I doubt I’d go again. Oh yea, a fiver for a chocolate eclair…I never had one, just saying

Paul is a good venue and this bakery at Tower of London is well-situated for visitors to the tower. There is a good range of products and although it was busy there was enough room to find a place to sit. The man who appeared to be the manager (was he French?) was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the young woman who served us was one of the most miserable assistants I have ever encountered. She cheered up for her lunch break when sat with a friend and enjoyed animated conversation. However, when dealing with us all she would say was, 'anything else?' It's a shame as her surly and distant attitude marred what otherwise could have been a nice visit. What a contrast to her colleague at St Paul's the next day!

After a long day of touring the Tower of London and Temple area, I looped back toward the Tower for a light dinner. PAUL Three Quays fit the ticket satisfactorily with its selection of pastries, sandwiches, and soups. Because I arrived near day's end (and no doubt because of the restaurant's longevity and popularity), many of the offerings, such as the soup, was sold out at that time. The croque monsieur filled my stomach, and the server even warmed it up for me. Because it was near to closing, the sandwich didn't taste as though it had come fresh from the oven but was still palatable. The super-sized macaroon served as the perfect dessert--palm-sized, soft shells encasing rich, cocoa filling--ending the entire dining experience on a sweet note. PAUL Three Quays has a great location near the Tower of London and even outside seating where you can enjoy the view of the river and watching passersby. If you're planning to be in that area for the day, it would make an excellent lunch spot!

Posto perfetto per un panino con "vero pane", un dolce e un caffè. Locale pulito con una vista splendida del Tower Bridge. Tavoli interni ed esterni. Da tenere in considerazione per uno spuntino veloce. ( ci sono diversi "Paul" in città )

Excellent location with wonderful views of Tower Bridge from both the outside tables and inside (especially the bar area by the window). Paul makes consistently good French pastries and sandwiches, although they are a little on the pricey side.

During a day sightseeing in London we got off a boat at Tower Gateway. We decided to pop into Paul’s for a snack and was extremely surprised at the choice of sandwiches/cakes and importantly very reasonable prices. Despite it being a busy tourist area we found an outside table. Staff were friendly as well. Excellent value for money.

This was a lovely spot to enjoy morning coffee and the superb cakes on offer. Would have preferred a china cup, but current circumstances dictate. The summer obviously allowers the bakers to flourish and the cakes using fresh strawberries were superb. Credit too to the staff keeping the outside terrace clean and inviting.

We were on a sight seeing visit with the grandchildren, it was the youngest ones 12th birthday, they got to choose from the beautiful array of cakes on display, we bought birthday candles, the waiter lit the bithday girls cake with a flourish much to her embarrassment we sang happy birthday, lovely afternoon tea with great scenery to boot.

We had an impromptu visit here for lunch while we were in the area. The views were great and it was nice to be able to sit outside too. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was tasty. Definitely glad we gave it a try!

Nice assortment of pastries. Had a sausage sandwich and pate veg sandwich both were tasty and prepared fresh

Disappointing. Had the most amazing experience at Paul Johannesburg, Melrose Arch. Proper and elegant sit down service in South Africa. Made me feel that Paul was an elegant cafe. This Paul at Three Quays is a boring and mundane chain store with crappy paper ups. Even Starbucks is more fun. But, the barista was a nice guy.

Buona la qualità dei panini in generale. Un bel po’ acida l’addetta italiana ai panini che, essendo noi italiani, ha fatto finta di non conoscere l’italiano per non essere scortese con i suoi colleghi. Peccato che i nostri amici non parlavano inglese e per ordinare i panini ai bambini si sono ammazzati di tentativi, e la tipa faceva finta di non capire. Alla fine non ci ritrovavamo con il conto alla cassa e la tipa ha magicamente parlato in italiano con noi. Potete immaginare le bestemmie che le sono state tirate giù dai nostri amici, dato che i bambini erano affamati. No comment.

ci siamo fermati per una colazione a metà mattinata. locale molto carino... più una panetteria che un ristorante... per la colazione ampia scelta ... forse un po me o per chi vuole pranzare. caffè buono. personale cordiale... e paziente... eravamo in otto e l’ordinazione e’ stata complessa!

Nos sentamos afuera este fin de semana (diciembre) congelado pero soleado y pedimos nuestro café (muy pequeñas tazas para llevar y no el mejor), luego, cuando pagamos, pedimos una bandeja como si estuviéramos afuera, ¡si nos sentamos afuera es otro 2! Y argumentaron que habíamos dicho que se llevara a cabo, que nadie más fuera, así que ni asientos premium ni pérdida de ingresos. ¡No estoy impresionado con el drama del lugar donde nos sentamos (no por nosotros sino por el personal que recibe al gerente)!

Nice spot for a coffee and a pastry whilst looking across to the Thames. Good selection of sweet treats and a nice coffee. Staff positive and informative. Good recommendations for what to munch on and a tasty coffee. Nice bench seats to enjoy the view.

Great location right near the Tower Bridge. The food was quick and delicious. I had a Croque Monsieur and the Salmon Quiche. The quiche was ok, but the sandwich was fantastic. Finished off with a giant Palmier cookie.

Dove mangiano i londinesi? È una domanda legittima. Girando per le vie della metropoli si può apprezzare un’infinità di attività commerciali e di certo non fanno da meno le occasioni per uno puntino. Ma resta una domanda legittima chiedersi un londinese autentico dove pranzi. La risposta può sorprendere. Il londinese autentico mangia proprio come in posti come Paul.Il locale è bello e ben organizzato, il servizio è molto veloce ed anche in una giornata di autentico meteo londinese ci sono alcuni posti in cui potersi fermare per consumare il proprio pasto in tutta tranquillità. Ovviamente il “servizio” non esiste ma il personale è molto corretto e cordiale. Gli avventori non sono abbandonati completamente a se stessi e ciclicamente il locale viene pulito.La varietà dell’offerta è molto ampia. Le molte scelte disponibili ci pongono solo davanti al cosiddetto “imbarazzo della scelta” e si esce tutto sommato saziati e pronti per continuare la propria giornata. Anche il turista o il lavoratore possono modulare la propria pausa pranzo in base alle loro singole esigenze di maggiore o minore pesantezza.Il costo infine, che non può essere mai elemento secondario… Ragionevole. Si spende come in un fast-food e probabilmente il livello qualitativo oltre che il gusto sono decisamente migliori. Quindi se volete un consiglio per un pasto veloce, beh Paul merita decisamente che lo valutiate.

Lovely setting after a walk over Tower Bridge. Food was nice but what disappointed me most was the hostility of the staff or should I just say plain rude. It costs nothing to smile and be polite ...

Even lekker koffie drinken en een broodje met uitzicht op de Tower Bridge en met de Londen Tower om de hoek is niet verkeerd! Leuk om hier even te relaxen voor de raam aan de Theems!

Nice spot with a view of the London bridge. Fresh ice teas and juices, a good chain bakery from France with some nice desserts, freshly baked bread and pastries. Those «canelés» are really nice (pastry with rhum and vanilla)

Abbiamo pranzato vicino alla torre di Londra. Buona scelta di cibi ma servizio molto gentile. Anche il caffè espresso era accettabile da un italiano quindi non male.

We popped in just before 6.30pm last night whilst we waited to board a boat at Tower Pier. My partner had a croque monsieur which was ok and I had a mozzarella and pesto olive roll which was also ok. What was disturbing, though, was the hive of activity of staff cleaning floors and clearing tables ready for closing some hour and a half later...they seemed much more enthusiastic about this than on serving people. It didn’t really create a good atmosphere...sadly quite the opposite...

靠近倫敦塔、面向泰晤士河的法式麵包咖啡店。在陽光普照下，休閒地坐在咖啡店室外座位，享用了牛角包和熱拿鐵。雖然牛角包和熱拿鐵平平無奇，但勝在景色怡人。

Pedimos croque monsieur y un croissant.

Called on a busy Saturday afternoon, having said that where ISN'T busy in London on a Saturday? Don;t think the staff coped that well, lots drinks missed off various orders. They are nice enough though but it's very cramped inside and I wouldn't rush back. Toilets require separate review!

Nos metimos en Paul's mientras estábamos en Londres con la familia para almorzar.

not many paul in bradfrd but this place had amazing cakes for all the family fair price also but not many seats

Os doces, cafés e ambiente do Paul é sempre maravilhoso. Sem conta que foi um aconchego ter um cafézinho para tomar com um docinho no frio londrino que pegamos.

Abbiamo fatto colazione in questo locale a due passi dalla torre di Londra. Avevamo già provato questa catena a Bruxelles. Bel locale, personale gentile, prodotti buoni,specialmente i dolci.

La tarta de limón estaba bien, bien y con sabor a limón y tenía sabores sabrosos. El café tenía un tostado fuerte pero era un café débil, lo que significaba que solo sabía a quemado. Pero la mayor decepción fue que el lugar estaba sucio. ¡No volvería! Starbucks no es genial, pero iría allí en este basurero. Lástima teniendo en cuenta el precio.

Great french-style pastries in a calm and pleasing environment, right next to major attractions such as the Tower of London.

Disclaimer: my wife and I live in Southwark and were not visiting the Tower of London as weary tourists. Paul’s is one of the few bakeries open on Sundays before 9:00AM. They also make one of the best croissants in London—a flaky exterior, and crucially—light and airy inside.

Llamado para tomar un café y un eclair de avellanas (que era encantador) una frecuentada cafetería maníaca cerca de la Torre - luchó por conseguir un asiento - ¡algunos de estos lugares están demasiado ocupados para la comodidad del cliente! ! (Ideal para negocios ... a corto plazo ... pero, ¿cuánto tiempo lo soportará Joe Public?)

Utsikten och läget är allt med detta ställe. Annars är det ett mediokert café, snäppet bättre än typ Starbucks. Men att ta med en kopp te och en croissant för fortsatt promenad längs Themsen fungerar alldeles utmärkt

This is a nice place on a sunny morning, sitting by Tower Pier watching the world go by. The coffee was pretty good and the pastries are very fresh, so I would definitely go back. Very friendly staff also, unlike the Pret next door, where they just jell at people.

Après une ballade sur la tamise, nous avons fait halte à Paul. Sandwich au thon et une tarte à la fraise tout à fait correcte. Le seul problème manque de place à l'intérieur ou des clients qui ont fini leur repas depuis un bon moment mais qui ne bouge pas pour laisser la place... Nous avons mangé dehors dans le froid... heureusement que la vue était sympa.

He estado aquí antes y los baños estaban asquerosos, pero debido a la excelente ubicación con vista al puente y a la Torre, pensé que podría haber sido uno apagado, pero no.

This is a new modern Paul with seats inside and out and great views of the Tower of London. My chicken baguette was excellent quality and a fair price for the location.

Terrible food... and staff! The bread for the sandwiches was more dry than Sahara! Even my eclair, which suppose to be creamy, was dry. So disappointed. Much better in Brussels or Paris.

Eat at Pret a Manger next door, PAUL is the grossest food you will ever eat. Plus it is pretty expensive. Also, every sandwich comes with at least 1/2 a stick of butter on it and is DISGUSTING

We had a very nice lunch here, sandwiches and coffee over looking the Thames / tower bridge / the shard Highly recommend

Our experience here was not great because there were so many people and the place was something of a mess in spite of the employees trying to keep up with the large crowd. Food was pretty good but just too many people all at once.

Mir hat mein Salat hervorragend geschmeckt und meine Tochter war von ihrem Sandwich sehr angetan! Die Preise sind halt "London"-hoch.

Este lugar no está muy lejos de la Torre del puente. Fue un buen lugar para almorzar. Tenga en cuenta que los precios para comer son más altos que para llevar. Además, no hay reposo.

Paramos aquí para almuerzo, y estaban encantados con la amplia variedad de panes, tartas y pasteles. Una cafetería de estilo artesanal, no esforzarse mucho, tiene un ambiente encantador, relajado y se basa en la calidad de sus productos para vender en sí. No me decepcionó! Elaborados con ingredientes frescos, el pan es delicioso y el pain au chocolat es la pena las calorías!

Good cakes, beautiful views and nice decoration. Friendly staff and management. Overall a good place to stop if one visits the Tower Hill area. A slice of France in London.

Paul ligger precis vid Tower Pier, när ut och ingången till Towern. Bästa stället i närheten av Towern i min mening. Bra kaffe, fina bakverk och härliga sandwich. Prisläget är detsamma som i övriga området, men kvaliteten något bättre. Dessutom snabb och uppmärksam service. Skulle välja Pauls för en kaffe to go, även om Starbucks ligger bredvid. Prisvärt.

Bon emplacement ! Nous étions dans le coin entre la visite de la Tour de Londres et du London Bridge. 2 sandwish montagnards comme ceux qu'on trouve chez Paul à Paris, à 5.35 chacun et un café à 1.96 £.

런던 타워와 템즈강 풍경을 함께 할 수 있는 곳에 위치한 카페입니다. 직원도 친절하고 내부는 깨끗한 편이어서 더더욱 만족스러웠습니다. 제조해주는 음료의 맛도 괜찮았습니다. 음식은 맛보지 않았습니다.

Mocha - excellent & rich Croque Florentine - very flavorful Christmas Turkey sandwich with cranberry - pretty good Coffee eclair - not bad (Cost about £15 in total)

Right beside the Tower looking out onto the Thames. Great variety of choices with excellent service. There are also small heated pods outside the main building which looked great for small groups - business or social. You could go here for any of breakfast lunch or dinner at night and feel that you are having a special meal out. Staff were very helpful with directions and advice for the rural tourist and genuinely appeared to want to help. You can sit as long as you wish and wide variety of newspapers available for customers while you wait.

Deludente, pochissima scelta di prodotti, poco invitanti, ma soprattutto molto costosi per quello che sono.

All the tables inside were dirty. Staff stood around talking to each other rather than either serving or cleaning. Disgusting and a poor reflection on the brand. What a minging place, it needs a manager.

During busy hours, they only know selling without cleaning up for next customers. Luckily this shop has a good view...

Siamo venuti da queste parti per visitare la Torre di Londra, non avendo fatto colazione abbiamo notato questo locale sull'angolo e siamo entrati.

Situado justo fuera de la Torre de Londres. Excelente para un almuerzo rápido. Recogimos Croque Monsieur y Quiche de espinacas. Ambos eran excelentes y abundantes. Tiene otras opciones de almuerzo, que pueden ser tomadas como realizar o comido por dentro.

A lovely location to grab some refreshments before walking along the Thames. Once sat down all the tables have a lovely view across to Tower Bridge you can watch all the people crossing the bridge. Located just across from the Tower this cafe is a hidden gem.

This cafe is situated in a lovely spot near the Tower of London and has a fantastic view of the Thames. The croissant I had was delicious and the staff were very polite and friendly. The cafe was very clean as were the toilets which are entered via a code on your receipt. A welcome break after a hectic day sightseeing in London, a nice place to relax and enjoy the view.

A fantastic café opposite the Tower of London with great views of the Tower, Tower Bridge, The Shard and HMS Belfast. Very friendly staff and the cakes are baked on the premises. We enjoyed our coffee and croissants so much that we made a special effort to return the following day.

After the Tower of London, we were ready for some good eats. We found it! Paul, Three Quays offers a great seat with views of the Thames. We all had tomato soup and sandwiches. Followed up with a delicious cappuccino!Cheers, Enjoy!

Ótima opção bem ao lado da Tower of London. Saladas e sanduiches muito saborosos. Tudo fresquinho, com preço acessivel.

I had an apple tart and almond croissant for breakfast and it was nice and not busy at all. They did not have the filled Baguettes but maybe they come out for lunch?

The usual stuff but ok and the staff try. We only had a coffee and a sandwich so can't comment otherwise. Near the tower and ferry so handy

早上十點來到倫敦塔附近，看到旁邊有一間paul就就去買了一杯焦糖拿鐵以及兩個麵包當早餐，焦糖拿鐵超級好喝，麵包也很好吃

This is a typical Paul's cafe serving nice sandwiches and cakes with reasonable drinks.This one is in a great location near the Tower of London and we sat outside to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the place.I would recommend this as a place for lunch if you are in this part of London, but my one word of cation would be that the code for the toilets is on your receipt, so hang on to it. One of the staff was very keen to tidy up and took ours away before we realised, so prompting the awkwardness of hanging about outside the toilets waiting for someone else to come out and grabbing the door before it shut.

When in London we always use Paul at Three Quays. The food always looks so appetising and it is!! Good to eat in at a great location on the Thames or to take out.

A due passi dalla Torre di Londra questo locale è perfetto per fermarsi e fare una pausa gustosa. Panini freschi e con diversi ripieni, dolci, bevande e caffetteria. Prezzi nella media. Posti a sedere sia all'aperto che all'interno. Insomma è la sosta ideale tra le varie tappe turistiche.

Typique de chez Paul, nourriture simple et excellente, propreté irréprochable. Et manger son sandwich ou sa salade avec vue sur la Tamise : presque du luxe !

Wir waren bei Paul zum Frühstücken und haben uns draußen hingesetzt mit Aussicht auf die Tower Bridge. Das Paul ist ein selbst Service Restaurant in dem man hauptsächlich Kleinigkeiten für zwischendurch bekommt. Wir hatten dort zwei Käsebrote und zwei Croissants mit Omelett gegessen.

Beliggenheden og indretningen kan der ikke klages over. Latte og cappuccino samt kagen var også i orden, men vi følte os i vejen for tjenerne eller hvad de nu er....

A trip to Paul at Three Quays is always delightful. The fare is fresh, wholesome and terribly tempting. Everything looks delicious but also tastes delicious. The location is fabulous and the views over the Tower and the Thames are breathtaking. You could spend hours at Paul! Easy to get to as it is a short 5 min walk from the Tower station.

Atendimento excelente, local aconchegante, comemos baguetes de salmão e estavam maravilhosas! Apesar do local ser em ponto turístico, o preço é muito bom.

Sono stato in questo panificio/ristorante durante un tour a Londra.Situato di fronte la torre di Londra permette di mangiare velocemente e a costi contenuti se non si vuol andare dai soliti Subway. I panini sono freschi e ben preparati. Tavolo e sedie piccoli per pranzi veloci.

Called in for coffee, which was good, but the Praline Eclair I picked up was delicious, full of flavour and it really was the nicest eclair I've ever had. Thankfully I don't live near there or I'd be the size of a bus.

Ik wilde al lang deze keten bezoeken. Het woord PAUL in gouden letters op de bruine achtergrond heeft iets heel sjieks. Binnen was het echter iets minder sjiek. Zelfbediening. Koffie in papieren kopjes. De kwaliteit van de broodjes en de taartjes was echter perfect.

A French cafe setting beside the Thames at Tower Pier.Crispy tasty roles with the rolls made by the cafe.Reasonable prices too for London.

Called in for lunch after a visit to the Tower. Had two delicious soups and shared a chicken bagette ( huge so perfectly adequate for the two of us) plus two cappucinos - all for under £20.Comfortable and good quality food and excellent value for the location.

Decent food, a step up from Pret next door. However, staff not willing to accommodate my wife's wish for sandwiches with no butter. Location is the best thing about it.

Uscita dalla visita alla Torre di Londra,guarda caso piove, ci fermiamo di fronte all'ingresso del monumento e decidiamo di mettere qualcosa sotto i denti.Optiamo per questo locale pseudo francese! Servono panini o insalate.Io scelgo una tartine Camembert,non mi accorgo però che c'è anche spalmata sopra una salsa con un retrogusto dolciastro:non mi piace!Per i miei gusti è da dimenticare.

The food was lovely but getting the food was a bit of a circus and eating it was uncomfortable...sitting hunched over a dirty table eating from a take-away paper bag because "all the plates were wet"

Popped in for a Mocha take-away. The girl on the till explained the chocolate was very rich and would we like extra milk? She let us try the chocolate before we purchased the drink, which was delicious. Excellent service and delicious Mocha!

Een gezellig zaakje met de gebruikelijke luisruchtige Londense ambiance. Heerlijke Coppa Burger gegeten.

Amazing bread for a quick veggie sandwich! Loved the mozzarella pesto sandwich with the very fresh olive bread. Quick service as well.

這裡的戶外座位可以直接看到Tower Bridge、The Shard，離Tower of London也非常近，絕對適合來此經典觀光區域小憩一下，早上08:00開始營業，也很適合來此用過早餐再開始一天的行程。

Fresh sandwiches, great sweets, coffee, and lots of seating. Great for lunch after the Tower of London or the Tower Bridge. Great view of the Thames.

Called in for a baguette and a cuppa whilst waiting for the boat to Greenwich.The shop was lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly.The food was gorgeous with plenty of filling and reasonably priced.Top Cafe

Only had a snack and coffee. My apricot pastry was divine. My friends had macaroons which they loved. Nice food looked lovely and fresh.

très bien situé, trés bon casse croute du midi, server trés sympa. Le sandwitch est fidèle a la réputation de la chaine, très convenable et bon, pas transcendant, mais c'est normal, c'est un sandwitch :)

PAUL is always a good place for sweet breakfast, but this one is my favorite.Offering both Tower of London and Tower Bridge views, it is a perfect location for me. The food (slice of Black Forest cake and a pink macrone) was delicious and staff friendly.Great breakfast option if you are in the area.
