Popina in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very expensive for what you get, £14 for eggs Benedict, 2 poached eggs on 1 piece of sourdough toast. £6 for a small glass of orange juice. Definately not worth the price, total for the brunch was £50 and that included a service charge that was automatically applied. Would not recommend this place unless you like overpriced food / drinks

We stayed at the Marriott Grosvenor Square across the street and Popina was our go to breakfast location. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoyed porridge, french toast and a variety of coffee drinks and all were excellent and served quickly.

Visited in passing with my husband and two children the cafe was small so I didn't think we would be seated but the waiter was more than accommodating pushing 2 tables together for us. The menu was amazing I could have eaten anything and lots of French toast flavours for the children. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful even with it being so busy and service and smiles were not lacking!

Waited in a queue outside in freezing conditions for over 1 and half hours. Eventually a space for 2 became available and we were invited in. On entry we were then told that the kitchen was too busy and we would have to go back outside and rejoin the queue. I commented that this was not ideal and was told ‘well no one is asking you to be in a queue’ to eat here !! I was totally dumbfounded at such an answer from the manager/staff, so we left and will not return.

Amazing place with lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff providing great service. The food is fresh, homemade and tastes excellent. Really recommendable!

Bad service. Very slow. Very expensive for brunch or breakfast. 40 minutes to get a french toast with avocado is too much. Narrow place. Barely can have a place to set. Definitely bad choice for having breakfast or eat at all.

The service was super friendly and quick! The food and drinks were delicious and pretty! And the interior, and music in the background made it all super cosy and chill time. Overall, had a lovely time so thank you guys! X

Popina is such a yummy and healthy treat!! The porridge was wonderful, and I love the great selection of teas.

French toast was made out of stale (hard) brioche. The egg had not penetrated in the brioche at all, just some burnt egg scrapings on the edge. I left almost all of it in the plate. None of the staff even thought to ask me what was wrong. The berry compote that came with the french toast was too sour and not sweet enough and this was not balanced by the very small amount of maple syrup offered with the dish. Coffee was mediocre. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Good food, good service and great coffee! Nice little spot about a 6 minute walk from the JW Marriott. I was craving a traditional English breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. My wife got the eggs Benedict which she also enjoyed. My favorite part was their flat white coffee!

Last minute brunch decision with 2 friends. The staff were very accommodating and friendly! Plenty of choice on the menu however my Green Shakshuka was underflavoured. The bread was brilliant. Average price for the area

Not sure what the poor reviews are about - I have eaten here almost a dozen times (whenever I frequent London from Canada) and have yet to have a bad meal or experience after working my way through every egg and breakfast dish on the menu. Great coffee, both the red and green shakshuka are incredible (as is the bread they serve with most their meals), wonderful hollandaise and super delicious meat additions for any of the dishes. Wonderful, friendly, and accommodating staff - a total gem of a spot, just wish they had a rest room or I would hang around longer!

I loved this place recommended by my daughter who had been there before. I had a breakfast type food Green Shakshuka. Spinach and poached eggs with raclette cheese melted on top. It was so awesome baked in a small caste iron pan. Loved the fresh mint in the water pitcher too! Would highly recommend. Such a lovely family run business. They even put out a cook book from the wife’s famous baking. Can’t wait to return.

I came with my friends to have a coffee ☕️ and Shakshoka.. Food and coffee was good Decorations good Chairs not for people who want to take time in the coffee (drink and go)

I ordered a simple Ham/cheese sandwich. They forgot it, served a later customer with fried bacon and salsages. Then I complained and they did my order after 50 minutes. I left smelling fried bacon at 8am in the morning...

Because of bad planning on my part I ended up killing 2 hours here one Saturday morning - the only place open seemingly for ages, despite the proximity to Oxford St. The food and coffee were fab. I had granola and it was enormous. It was a bit hard in there - rock solid stools. Not the kind of place to unwind or chat.

This place is so too tiny and pokey. Felt like i was being watched by those to my right the whole time. Horrible feeling especially while eating. So off putting. The tables and Chairs are terrible and super uncomfortable. No backs to hard wooden seats . It’s as though they don’t really want any’ eat ins’ and the set up is to encourage you to grab food and leave. Weird. Also £4 for a tiny skimpy helping of bacon? Bit of a rip off. Eggs were pretty standard. Kid loved the french toast though! Probably won’t be back. Shame as halal breakfasts are hard to come by

This was my first time eating from Popina and I loved it! I would definitely come again! The service is amazing and friendly! Highly recommend:))

We know them for their food to go when they are in Kings Cross and their Burritos are the best. Recommended 130% for their attention and for the quality. A must to have when around.

Pure class. Beautifully made pastries , cakes and delicious brunches and lunches. Must surely be the finest high end eating establishment in London. Clearly a lot of effort goes into this place, professionalism and highest standard of hygiene. Their offering in Farmers Markets also worth...

Small cafe serving very good coffee and a range of small dishes. The porridge was very good but the avocado on toast was lacklustre and stingy (just one slice of toast with a thin spread of avocado for £7.50!). On the other hand, the carrot...

I came across this gem of a cafe on Thursday, it was a miserable rainy lockdown London day and when I walked in I was greeted so warmly, the coffee great and the food delicious! Such a contrast to the chains in every respect. I...

Very tasty Shakshuka. Great breakfast menu and friendly atmosphere. Most importantly the owner plays tasteful music! Through his food and his friendliness he shows the benefits of multiculturalism.

Popped in with sister and two kids for brunch. Staff were the most unhelpful I’ve ever come across. When requesting a high chair staff told me that the restaurant wasn’t child friendly. I asked if we should leave-response “up to you”! Nevertheless, as food was...

£14 for 2 small poached eggs on 2 small muffins with two over cooked burnt bacon slices.Tea was ok. Worst food ive had in a long time. Person serving was not interested in being there. Unfriendly service. Eat somewhere else if you can. Overpriced

We had a chicken coconut curry with rice for lunch at Popina. It was a horrible experience, we both felt sick afterwards, the dish was swimming in oil. The rice to curry proportion was ridiculous, see pic. This coupled with really bad service from the...

Fantastic service and really great food. Had to wait a while for seating but it’s definitely worth the wait and the manager was very apologetic. Thoroughly great service, and very attentive staff. The best french toast I’ve had and everything was a hit. Thank you!

We had an amazing breakfast here. Prices are alright compared to the neighbourhood and London. The place is small but has a nice vibe.

I went there for breakfast and I had a soft scramble egg with avocado and a Nutella French toast stuffed with melted marshmallows both dishes were extremely delicious and fresh! I went there again after two days! Highly recommended.

Pleasant service; excellent scrambled eggs on toast; pastries looked good. Recommend Shakshuka or Eggs Ranchos with lime guacamole for lunch

I have been there twice this week for breakfast. The first time was for eggs Benedict and the second forScrambled eggs on toast. The eggs Benedict had slightly runny yolks which was grat and the second time the scrambled eggs had some cheese adde and...

This cafe seems to be more popular for take away coffee than for dining in. We had breakfast at Popina. The coffee was good and the service prompt. But my poached eggs were not cooked the way I requested and the presentation and flavours were...

In our last stay in London we stayed in a nearby hotel and in 9 days we went there to Popina at least 4 times. The place is small but very clean and cozy, the staff is very friendly and the food is excellent. Popina...

A small restaurant with not many tables. But the food was tasty - the eggs in particular were very high quality and the carrot cake was fluffy and light. Also, the coffee was good - strong but not at all bitter. And the owner was...

I went out for brunch with my friends. The staff got all our orders wrong. They also told us they ran out of poached eggs and could only give us fried ones. When we told them this does not make any sense, they then said...

poached eggs were good. Sourdough toast was really disappointing, the slices of bread were more holes than dough. i think i was charged £3.50 for it! coffee and tea were good. would not be my first choice in this area.

We had a really good brunch at this place the egg sandwich was delicious and they have Halal beef bacon which is amazing for me The benedict was average Next Time I will try the the deserts Amazing staff

So I have been reading about Popina and follow them on insta. Decided today after the gym to visit popina as it is close by to my gym. Popina have recently introduced French toasts to their menu. French toast is my weakness!!! I ordered the...

I was here early waiting for a friend, and was patiently waiting for an outside table. One of the staff (possibly the owner?), went in the back, got me a table and chairs, set them up outside, and was not at all bothered that my...

We discovered this little jewel by accident and were thrilled with the food, almosphere and cleanliness. And the prices were very reasonable for a London eatery.

We stopped by after a cold morning stroll from Paddington to Mayfair, willing to grab a coffee and have a sweet treat. What we discovered and tasted was incredible: outstanding coffee (cappuccino), delicious cakes (carrot cake, chocolate pistachio tart, and chocolate cake); and friendly welcoming...

Found this hidden gem and oh boy what a gorgeous simple breakfast. Don’t pass it by. Keep up the brilliant work

Had an egg and bacon sandwich for breakfast and got addicted to it. Food is fresh and very tasty. Definitely going back.

An alternative to having an expensive breakfast in your hotel. Everything was good, the portions large and fresh and the prices were decent. I downgraded this place as the service was long, unorganized, messy and the waiters loud to each other. Shame as it nice...

Honestly i can't fault this place. As a group of 4 we chose this place at random. Very clean. Nice atmosphere. Staff are lovely. The food is amazing!! I had the scrambled egg and HALAL beef bacon. This dish was to die for!!! Best breakfast...

My family and I just happened upon this restaurant as we were looking for a place to have a hot tea while my husband was in the guitar shop down the street. It was such a pleasant surprise. The tea was superb, the plum and...

We were staying across the street at the Marriott and stopped in for breakfast before our day of sightseeing. The egg dishes are eggselent. They do a great job. Orange juice is freshly squeezed. My son loved the quiche. We will be back.

Cosy place with delicious food, plenty on offer; had a brioche egg sandwich with bacon and amazing carrot cake. Truly delicious! Highly recommend this place!

The coffee was amazing and the dishes look delicious, bread was great and the desserts really good. The chef has been really nice. A great experience overall.

This place is my favourite place in Mayfair I love the place and coffee also food and great tortilla and pastries with fresh salad

This place offers a nice variety for your sandwich / salad at your desk. The bureks were new to me but tasty and filling. The salads were flavoursome and well dressed. The menu does not seem to change much (if at all) and with a...

My partner & I stumbled on this place walking through the Mayfair area & it's an absolute gem! I had a beef stew which was a special for the day (they should make it permanent on their menu as it's amazing!) & my partner had...

PopIna is my favourite place for lunch in Mayfair. Great food, including delicious vegan options and good coffee. Nice friendly service and spotlessly clean. So close to Oxford Street & Bond Street too. Fabulous to sit out side al fresco on a sunny day.

This food is a bit different from your average cafe....Mediterranean a bit like Ottolenghi but less distinct flavours (and about half the price!) Price is reasonable for a central London location and the staff helpful

I just had the most delicious, healthy quick lunch here today. both my coworker and I were really impressed by the food quality and taste. there are a few small tables and a bar. quick service. prices are reasonable. The thai curry roll, salad and...

Loved everything about this place. Amazing coffee. Fresh and delicious sandwiches. Don’t leave without trying the pogacha and poached eggs.

Want to go back for food! Looks amazing! Lovely small place over the road from Marriott Grosvenor Square, don’t do the big chains when you can support local business owners!
