Peyton and Byrne in City of London, Westminster

Always a pleasure to return to this friendly coffee shop opposite my office which features a superb range of food prepared fresh every day in their own group kitchen and bakery. Without doubt Peyton & Byrne offer the very best service and products of any coffee shop chain in London. Today for my late breakfast I had a delicious cup of Cappuccino (£4.00) and a wonderful Three Cheese and Tomato toastie (£7.80) which just oozed warm melting cheese between hot sourdough slices. Just the best start to the day for me. Much recommended.

Despite what appears to be a completely new team at this P&B outpost, there was no discernible slippage in service or food offer. In fact, the triple cheese and tomato toastie (£7.20) was probably as good as I have ever had at this wonderful coffee shop. A barista produced cup of Cappuccino (£4.00) completed my delicious breakfast before crossing the road for a busy day at my head office. This super little P&B outpost certainly provided an incentive to work-from-office rather than at home !!

Such a lovely coffee shop still managed by the same lady who started when it opened about 8 years ago. I was due a business meeting but my guest was running late so instead of an office chat we took brunch at No226. I had the ham, three cheese and pickle toastie (£8.20) which was very fresh thick sliced brown bread, delicious ham and oozingly wonderful cheeses. I would have gladly attempted a second if I had been on my own! My guest chose the salmon sandwich (£7.80) which he rated highly. All food and drinks delivered with a smile to our table. With drinks the total cost was £21.20 - exceptional value. Can't wait to return.

Warm welcome and the lunch was excellent. Highly recommend the salads . Service was quick and the Staff are very helpful. Lovely clean restaurant

This remains my favourite coffee shop mini-chain in London. This branch opened in 2015 when I was working full time from an office across the road and provided me (and guests) with a great fix of Latte or Cappuccino at regular intervals. Despite the ravages of Covid, this chain has recovered and, with staff who have been with them since the early days, is looking after their loyal customers with great service and superb home-cooked products. For my brunch, I enjoyed the hot sausage roll (a small portion of English mustard provided as a favour) and chicken mayo, avocado and tomato roll. Together with coffee, the total was £13.30 and worth every penny. Special thanks to the staff including the jovial young South African who joined the team in 2018 and is hoping for another RWC victory for the 'Boks

Ordered a Flat white to go with oat milk (lactose intolerant) and was given one with standard milk. Spending the rest of the day throwing up. Cheers Peyton and Byrne.

I was hoping for, well, something a bit more up market in this expensive area of London. The service was fine but the food disappointing. Orange juice was limp and the croissant looked magnificent but had little taste and was dry. Coffee small with unusual and interesting taste. The place has plenty of space inside although it could be a cafe anywhere. Just under £10 - the lot.

I came here after a hospital visit. Lovely atmosphere, great amount of space. We had the pie and a chocolate cake (melt in the middle) which was really nice. Would recommend the nutty hot chocolate. Only thing I would say is they didn’t have chai on the menu which was a tad disappointing. Other than that it was great and I’d recommend.

The coffee shop is pretty, airy and comfortable. the service was great. the choice of food was ample. Everything looked fresh and delicious.

Stopped here for a late lunch. Ham and cheese croissant was full of flavour and on a very hot day they offered me a colder drink which was very welcome. Followed by a delicious coffee. Service was excellent nothing too much trouble and following all Covid guidelines. Would definitely recommend

Well, Oliver Peyton is a staple of British television – Great British menu and so on. Used to run another restaurant – Mash – at the other end of Great Portland Street but that has long since gone. However, popped in to have a look at Peyton and Byrne expecting something wondrous. Nice mask-wearing people behind the counter but not a lot of produce for sale. But ordered two apple pies to take away for my wife and myself. On returning home, I warmed them in the oven and poured on some organic double cream. The pastry was nice enough, if a bit sweet, but where was the apple filling? There was hardly any. So only two stars from me, I'm afraid.

I popped in to buy a coffee on the way to work. My flat white was perfect, great milk and delicious coffee. The food on display looked delicious - small cakes, tarts, granola, pastries etc. Costs were average for central London nothing ridiculous. I didn't buy any food as I already had breakfast but it was very tempting. Decor was inviting and lots of places to sit.

Great breakfast stop...coffee was excellent and so were the pastries and toasties. The service was friendly. Wish we had one local to us.

I stopped here after a business meeting with my boss as he had eaten here before and said it was good. The service was excellent we ordered at the counter and they brought everything over quickly. The coffee was one of the nicest I have had and the food was also very good, tasty and generous portions.

Bustling with coffee & cake lovers, this is a great place for meeting friends, chilling over superb coffee, having business meetings, quiet enough to be able to have a confidential interview even. Love this place

I was on the Kenneth Williams trail when I came across this cafe. The name was vaguely familiar but I had never knowingly visited one of its establishments. I found it calm and relaxing, and there were colourful displays of cakes and sandwiches, though I only had a plain scone, it being sometime before lunch. The coffee and scone were excellent. I refused the butter and jam which were proffered. I will visit again.

Only popped in as we were around the corner and fancied a coffee before heading back to the underground. We ended up having proper breakfast. Very nice and friendly service, chap forgot my salmon in my scrambled eggs. When I pointed it out, I got it within the minute. There is no fancy-schmanzy decoration on the plate. There is also no massive plate and little food. It's a proper portion on a normally sized plate. We had scrambled eggs, one with extra avocado and bacon, another one plain, and I had the one with salmon. Coffee was good and whilst we were sitting there, the cakes and tartlets caught my eye. My husband is gluten-free and I saw quite a few gluten-free options, so took the opportunity. The chocolate mini-tart and the orange mini-cake thingy were absolutely delicious! I don't understand why so many companies have so much trouble with gluten-free stuff. Decor is simple yet nice. The chairs are solid wood and whilst I would love to have that kinda chair, I'd put at least a pillow on them for seat comfort. Toilet was broken, boss fixed it. As simple as that. We're quite often in the area, I think we'll definitely go there more often.

I am a regular for the takeaway large latte which is always served piping hot but with cardboard trays and lids to ensure minimum spillage en route to my desk. Occasionally opt for the sweet, fresh bun with hot bacon - such a breakfast treat....

Good tea, flattened brioche bun and 3 sad streaky bacon rashers, obercooked to the point inedibility, nah, not my idea of tasty breakfast

Dropped in to try the cakes after the super tempting window display. Lovely food and atmosphere. The cakes were lovely and fresh and tasted great. Highly recommend dropping in for coffee and cake if you are near.

Just had a takeaway roll sandwich and it really wasn’t anything special. Was supposed to be different cheeses and that wasn’t noticeable. Plus it had tomato so the roll had gone all soggy. Just generally quite poor. Also had a Chelsea bun and that was...

Had the pleasure to stumble on this lovely cafe, which has a very calm relaxing atmosphere. The food is excellent, home made tasty cakes, muffins, lovely salads, excellent ciabattas and pies. Truly recommend a visit. Staff are very polite.

I have been here for the past two Fridays in between appointments at the hospital . Lovely relaxed atmosphere , friendly helpful staff bring over your food and drink . The array of home made cakes , salads and sandwiches are outstanding , I had...

Great little cafe offering fresh salads sandwiches and really great scones- buttermilk or raisin! They are soft melt in your mouth- yummm! There is also a selection of other sweet treats to try. Nice place!

We had just arrived in London and needed a place to stop and grab a coffee (or tea for me). This place had good coffee (according to my friend), friendly staff, and clean facilities.

Yummy oats, although somewhat sweet and lovely scrambled eggs although somewhat salty and peppery. But both yummy dishes. Coffee was terrific. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Busy time, busy street and busy cafes but found a table for 2 here and had some good strong coffee and decent ready made sandwiches. Not a lot of room but cafe reasonable quality and efficient with service

Dirty cups, Milk served in take away cup , dry coffee cake , Cracked saucer Average tea Not sure if I would go back

Though not the cheapest cafe in the area the coffee and tea is lovely and the cakes and scones are exquisite

Popped in for drinks, so cannot comment on the food. My wife reckoned it was the best cup of tea she had had in a cafe, and the coffee was excellent too. The decor is simple, modern and comfortable. The staff were friendly. I can...

4 of us arrived at 5pm on the 23/2 and ordered cups of tea and a cake from a nice gentleman who was pleasant.and were served promptly however 2 minutes later we decided to have a piece of the lovely raspberry roulade. My friend went...

After walking around Hyde park on Christmas Day as nothing was open, the trains didn't run my hotel had nothing open what a joy it was to find this place serving coffee and warm food and snacks. A real Christmas present in a crazy world...

Went here yesterday before a meeting. Not a fan of chains but sadly in London often only chains available. Anyway freezing cold day so fancied soup. The soul was advertised as ‘chilled’ asked if they had hot soup, yes apparently the advertised menu was wrong....

P&B is an attractive venue serving excellent coffee and teas with delicious food as well. My staple in the morning is a large Latte to take away (£3.10) which is provided with a lid and carrying tray to avoid spilling as I cross the road...

Scones and tea - what more could one want for the afternoon. A busy, lively cafe type environment. Good service and good scones!

Very fresh, interesting salads, pies, lovely salmon dish, everything nicely presented - and prompt service. Proper tea with real leaves. Great!

Excellent fresh baked goods to stay or to go. Engaging serving staff who knew the products. All in a bright cheerful space.

We passed this place on the way back to our hotel and decided to have breakfast there the following morning. We only had coffee and chelsea buns but both were delicious. I would like to return to try one of their other fabulous looking cakes/pastries...

I visited this coffee shop for the second time this summer; this time for lunch. The food selection for lunch is not extensive but everything tasted perfect. They could use better allergy advice and a wider savory selection. Definitely recommended.

I was meeting an old friend of mine, so he chose this location as a central place for both of us to meet. Nice coffee and pastries and well laid out seating made it a nice place for our meeting. DIdnt get to check out...

A frequent venue for a takeaway lunch (I haven't actually eaten in yet) - and everything I've had so far has been tasty, well baked and great value. The quiches have lovely buttery crisp pastry and soft, creamy fillings. Sausage rolls are good too. Cakes...

Order at the counter. Nice service. Cakes look better than they taste. However all the cakes are uncovered in front of where the customer orders so must be covered in tiny globules of saliva and germs. Quite disgusting. I suggest a thin transparent cover such...

Called in when walking from Marylebone Station into Bloomsbury, looks inviting from outside and is light and airy inside with plenty of seating, friendly staff, super individual lemon merengue pie with good tea and coffee. Would revisit.

Now also in their new artisan bakery and caffe in former Victorian flower shop on Great Portland Street. Trusty and tasty British fare from sausage rolls made from ethically reared British pork to carrot and lemon drizzle cakes. My Orange & Plum piece was absolutely...

There is nothing in Kent remotely as good as a P&B coffee shop so always enjoy my early morning Latte and breakfast nibble such as the proper, meaty sausage roll or egg and bacon mini baguette. However, the staff turnover seems unusually high as no...

Don't touch the bread on display even if you want to buy it you'll get screamed at!!! No marmalade!!! Don't ask again you'll get a rude response from staff!!! I'm sorry only works if it's said sincerely!!! Not in this case. Advocado toast far too...

Was on a visit to London with my daughter and stayed in a hotel near here. We decided to go for breakfast because the food looked lovely, which it was! But the staff were so rude it was almost comical. One of the waitress in...

Popped in for a coffee and a granola, but had to wait in a queue for a few minutes to place my order, then a few minutes more to collect my coffee. When the coffee was ready, it was just left on the side too...

Came across this on the way down from Gt Portland Street station. It used to be a very high class florist that obviously couldn't make it work. This looks like another coffee winner. Will try the coffee again before passing judgement. Selection of cakes to...

Arrived into London early for a meeting and popped in for a drink. Great selection of food, cakes/pastries and beverages. Friendly and good service, also very clean and inviting.

We found this gem by coincidence on a Saturday morning and thought we would try some of their lovely looking scones and cup cakes for breakfast. My daughter took lemon meringue fairy cake and I had the fruit scones with clotted cream and jam; all...

Nice clean eat-in and takeaway bakery cafe. We went there twice during our stay in London. The scones are excellent and so is the carrot cake. The fruit is fresh and the lattes are good.

It's a lovely and delicious place to stop in the aftermoon for a sweet bite and chill or hot drink. The apple crumble muffin comes with my prized recommendation.

These premises were used for an upmarket flower shop but recently morphed into this utterly delightful café operated by the fast growing P&B group. The coffee really does have proper flavour and the food offer is excellent. At breakfast there was an array of muffins,...
