Risking Cafe in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Can’t believe I paid £19 for 2 baguettes. I asked for a baguette with just sausage as I disliked the options and as they are made fresh, didn’t think this would be a problem. Obviously turned up with everything I didn’t want in there and one sausage for a whole baguette. Could see from where I was sat someone washing up, just a quick rinse under the tap. Should have walked away when they didn’t accept card.

Good breakfast - smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Husband said prawn and avocado baguette was very good. Lovely fresh orange juice with lime. Busy and friendly - cakes looked very good. Not over-priced for central London. Handy for British Museum.

Dalla licenza appesa risultava aprire alle 8 ma alle 9, ci hanno detto in malo modo che avrebbero aperto dopo un altro quarto d'ora. Quando siamo entrati non ci hanno detto di ordinare al bancone ed hanno servito altri clienti arrivati dopo. Gli scones erano veramente buoni ma la maleducazione del personale, la mancata pulizia del pavimento, le regole di igiene al banco non rispettate (infatti non era presente la vetrofania che indica il livello di igiene), il pos non funzionante (non l'avevano preannunciato) mi portano a sconsigliare assolutamente questo locale!

Average food, slow and inattentive staff and expensive. Our food (two breakfast baguettes) took 40 minutes to arrive and the American couple next to us had to wait even longer - her breakfast turned up first and she'd nearly finished before his arrived. Staff seemed more interested in talking among themselves than actually taking care of their customers.

Cafe was good but serving a bit chaotic. Good location pretty close to British Museum. Nothing to complain about, but nothing special either.

Situé dans un quartier passant proche du British Museum, l extérieur est engageant. Hélas… il n y a que cela. On vous presse pour choisir, les verres que l on nous a donnés étaient mal rincés: de la mousse de lavage à l intérieur. Et la tarte au citron: horrible! Gélatineuse synthétique et sans aucun goût (pourtant le citron)… et l addition est… salée ! A déconseiller

Très bruyant, n écoute pas ce que l on commande, car trop pressé d enchainer les clients...du coup vous n avez pas de commande complète..bref pas top

We stopped here for coffee and pastries, just passing by, and it looked good. We went inside but took our order outside to sit at a table and enjoy the weather. We got two fabulous pastries and coffee for about $12. We then went back in when we were ready to leave and got a few more of our favorites for breakfast then next day. It is quite small inside and feels a bit rushed but I’m sure they are used to people who have been there before and not strangers from the US like us 🙃. Don’t hesitate….stop here and get pastries, scones, full breakfasts, coffee, tea, etc….

We came here twice and neither time were we let down. The team serving were friendly and helpful. This is a small cafe but don’t let the size fool you. We had the cream tea on both occasions and the home made scones were truly excellent. We will be back.

El peor cream tea que he tomado...casi 8 libras por un scone sin sabor y blando, mermelada barata, en un local con un olor y un mobiliario muy mejorable. El staff hablándose a gritos, cargando el móvil y mirándolo en una mesa al lado de los clientes ..muy muy mejorable

What a surprise. We arrived in the area to take in the British Museum on a Saturday afternoon. Queue was about 1km long. So we decided to grab a bite and wait for the line to go down. Popped into this cafe for a bite. Pleasantly surprised we were. The pastries appear to be made in house. A custard tart that I sampled was absolutely heavenly. Had to purchase a second one. Toasties were excellent too. Had the Aubergine. Wife had the egg salad sandwich. Recommended.

We had couple of coffees and sandwiches and the price was much higher than indicated. I advice to stay away from this place they clearly are overcharging tourists on a permanent basis. Do not be fooled about tables being full!

Went there twice for breakfast. It was busy but friendly and cozy. The first morning we sat outside, the second morning inside. Service was great, food and drinks were fine. The hot chocolate is be best we have ever had in London, we live in Switzerland, chocolate is important to us, the brits have no clue but at Ruskins it was perfect. The scones beautiful, butter and jam in rich amounts. Can only recommend it!

It's always a good indication when a cafe in a tourist spot is popular with locals. This is absolutely true of Ruskins. Only 50 meters from the British Museum it also happens to be one of the best cafes in the area - great food and THE BEST SCONES IN CENTRAL LONDON! Enjoy!

Avoid this place. Nobody cleaned the table, waited so long for two breakfasts and a coffee - had to remind them our order 3 times. Bad quality, very expensive even for tourist place.

We were doing a book-based treasure hunt with friends and fancied a coffee. Popped in here as we were passing. A good range of lunches was available but we only wanted coffee and very, very good coffee it was. Pleasant service and, for central London,...

Decided to pop in for a quick breakfast, lovely food, and seemed to be very busy all day (passed next to the cafe a few hours later after visiting the British Museum). Nice little place, a good choice of food, in the afternoon few tables...

Got our order wrong, didn't inform us that was cash only before hand slow service. Would not recommend

Charged us £40 for two small pieces of qiche and a piece of cake and black coffee. The food was ok but extremelly pricey plus they charge you for "service".

Delicious scones tea and coffee. A great stop any time of day. Happened upon it coming back from the British museum. Indoor and outdoor seating. Cakes looked delicious too.

I could not sleep after eating here. Not only because I got sick from the bad food but I could not understand why I paid the ridiculous bill.

Top cafe, mostly home made food that all looks delicious. Great portion sizes, really good service. We had some brunch, will be back tomorrow again!

Standard cafe in terms of the offer (sandwiches, jacket potatoes (at over £9!!), cakes). Sandwiches were standard, specified no butter (as lactose intolerant) but this was ignored. We were also over-charged though I suspect they would claim only service was added. The overcharging seem to...

After visiting the British Museum, we wanted some lunch. The cafe is just round the corner in Museum Street. The owners were very attentive and helpful. We had homemade quiche and Greek salad with a pot of tea. Delicious. My husband then had a Portuguese...

Excellent cafe just opposite British Museum. Fantastic choice, quality food and fast service. Perfect for lunch. Everything from baked potatoes to quiche to fill English breakfast. Much better option than eating at the Museum’s limited cafe

Absolutely awful place, forgot our food, it wasn’t busy - staff were just lax, gave wrong tea - cant usually go wrong with breakfast tea! And 7.90 for a Greek salad with about 3 bits of cheese on old wilted leaves is outrageous. Found something...

Great service in a no frills cafe. Socially distanced but with fine coffee, good pie and friendly banter from the servers and fellow customers. Used by British Museum staff!

Before you order anything here, ask the price first. Cafes that deliberately overcharge should be closed down. I know it's London, but paying over £18 for one jacket potato with cheese and a slice of quiche is disgusting. Avoid at all costs!!!

I called in yesterday and coffee was 3.80 - am sure this was not the price on the board but of course, I was in a hurry and in no mind to argue the point. I was intending to return to eat another time as...

Food was good and they treated us well on the beggining. But in the end when we had to pay, they charged us much more than we expectad. After making some number with their prices, our bill was around £42 but they charged us £64....

Delicious food and attentive staff. Pastries, potatoes in jackets, tea and scones. Good range of teas.

Went to this little cafe for coffee and a snack. They have a great selection of cakes, salads and quiches, and delicious homemade Belen custards that i strongly recommend. Plus, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Thanks to Ruskin’s !

A nice little cafe with a nice selection of cakes and quiches. The coffee was excellent and service was friendly. Decor is a little dated hence the 4 stars.

I come here every few days. The Cafe is very cozy with good tea and coffee. Great place to stay a while and read or chat with friends. Food is good too and not to expensive(~£5 sandwiches). The Cafe is right outside Brittish Museum and...

This is a delightful cafe. The food was terrific and the atmosphere very pleasant and quiet. I was expecting something less individual and more tourist-oriented so close to the British Museum but it was delightful and I would certainly strongly recommend it for the freshly...

Went there for an afternoon coffee and dessert; while coffee was good, the cake was neither fresh nor good. The waiter was offering fresh custard tarts (pasteis de Belem, in Portuguese) I opted for a local carrot cake. Not only was it really bad, it...

A very friendly place, and the cakes are delicious. The children loved their slices of chocolate cake, the hot chocolate and the carrot cake was excellent. The owners are really nice.

Looking for a place to have breakfast before joining the queue to enter the British Museum, we had breakfast at the conveniently located Ruskin’s Cafe. From the outside the place seemed attractive but the sandwich fillings in the display counter didn't look appetising at all....

It was a sunny day and we ate at thz terrasse. We had a salmon and asperge quiche. Couldn't find the salmon, so few ! Bot great at all ! Really disappointed !

I've been longing for a traditional English Cream Tea - Scones with clotted cream and jam, and this is the right place for that. Scones are handmade and delicious, if you're lucky you get them straight from the oven.

Location just behind corner of National Museum facing mini-square, really nice. The coffee was strong, value for money, also large choice of cakes. The owner is nice, relaxed, easy going. Recommended!!

The place is unimaginative. Although it has a great potential because of the position, it fails to have a charm. The desserts were ok (a bit too sweet for my taste). The tea was a normal Twinings. Could be better managed.

interessante Atmosphäre, aber besser bei warmen Temperaturen, wenn man draußen sitzen kann, als bei Regen/ Kälte; die Auswahl ist gut,...

A deux pas du British Museum, café très sympa à l'heure de l'afternoon tea.D'accord, on n'est pas chez Fortnum & Mason mais le thé, les scones et les pies dégustés ce jour là étaient délicieux. A visiter aussi pour l'ambiance de café littéraire.

When your feet are aching after hours at the British Museum, take a break at this cafe where we had good latte, scone and tea. Friendly staff. Wifi.

Bel posto davvero. Vicino al British Museum.Fuori si stava molto bene ed il cibo era buono. Servizio veloce ma il conto è stato a mio vedere esagerato anche per Londra.

A 2 pas du british muséum, un café fréquenté par des Britanniques et aucun touriste en vue !!! Un vrai full breakfast with a pot of tea. C était très bon. Free Wi fi en plus

We had tea at several places while in London and many of them much from expensive and fancy but these were the best! Just a block from The British Museum. A cute little shop.

Nos topamos con Ruskin durante nuestro 45 aniversario de viaje a Londres. Un restaurante con corazón, alegría, buen servicio y excelente comida. Si usted es afortunada como para coger buen tiempo, podrá sentarse afuera frente al Museo Británico. Sí, es pequeñita pero este lugar dentro de la familia llevará más de ti. Pijo? No. Pero quiche super y bollos y más y más. Parada y una sonrisa.

Nos estaban grabando un material en el Museo Británico y fuimos buscando un lugar para comer, y encontré Ruskins Cafe en Londres. Este es un lugar muy pequeño, y fue contundente cuando llegamos allí, que normalmente es una buena señal. Nos agarramos una mesa en la parte trasera y una ensalada de berenjena, pedí Quiche de salmón y un jamón Ciabatta. La comida era deliciosa y recién preparado. Bajar con agua Washin reluciente y té/café, nos dirigimos de nuevo al museo, bien descansado para continuar con nuestro trabajo.

Proche du British Museum, endroit sympa pour boire un thé. Le cheesecake était bon.

La ubicación es excelente, así como la salchicha y tocino sándwiches, pasteles y tarta pecan, acompañada de un excelente café. El servicio era amable y eficiente. Me hubiera concedido al lugar un perfecto 5 pero por el estado de la "facilidades". 20 minutos de trabajo se abordara esta cuestión. La cafetería está cerca de la tienda de ropa retro, un fantástico caballero llamado Penny Farthing, con un real fuera. Altamente recomendado.

Este pequeño café está justo fuera del museo británico y un gran lugar para sentarse y tomar un par de bebidas frías en un día de calor de Londres!

Fuimos para cafés y tocino butty. Buen café y butty, muy amable y alegre, buena maña, pero £13.50 para dos café y dos sandwiches bacon parecía caro para mí... pero es justo enfrente de Museo Británico. Un lugar agradable, buena comida y pasteles por otro buscando visita.

Soy italiano y vivo y trabajo en el REINO UNIDO.

Simple honest cafe. Very reasonbly priced for the location - had a lovely freshly cooked English breakfast. If I could have I would have gone back for lunch- the food looked spot on Breakfast for two with coffee £17

Atendimento personalizado e ambiente agradável. Preço adequado ao local. Recomendo aos amantes de Londres!

Parece un lugar agradable, fui allí con algunos amigos. En primer lugar, yo tuve que sirven, agarrando mi taza de té y una taza de mi mesa. Creo que no está seguro, porque la taza de té estaba muy caliente.

À noël j'ai emmené ma mère et ma sœur a Londres, nous ne pouvions donc pas loupé le typique english breakfast ! Celui du Ruskin's cafe était vraiment délicieux, produits frais et savoureux, le jus d'orange maison à tomber par terre. Petit bémol sur le prix un peu élevé toutefois mais à refaire sans hésiter !

La cafetería de Ruskin está a una corta distancia a pie del British Museum, y sirve una amplia variedad de aperitivos y bebidas. Mi esposa y yo, y un amigo nos detuvimos allí para un descanso de la tarde, y quedamos bastante satisfechos con el servicio. Entre nosotros teníamos filtro café, cappuccino, taza de té, un bollo grande con jamón y crema, y una especie de tarta, llamado creo que a - todo Floriana por menos de £14 total, que no está mal en el centro de Londres.

Después de una visita más decepcionante para el Museo Británico, Ruskin es realmente levantadas los ánimos. Tuve té de la tarde con deliciosos bollos, un montón de mantequilla y mermelada y una sonrisa muy amigable. Todo estaba delicioso y siento que me he comido almuerzo antes. Tuve una agradable conversación con la señorita italiana que me dijo que le hace los bollos frescos cada mañana. Este es un agradable, amable, modesto café y puedo recomendarlo a cualquiera a quien le guste bueno, sabroso, hecho-en-los locales. Una gran selección de té y café.

Good place to come and relax after visiting the British museum. Lovely food, nice cup of tea. Friendly staff. Reasonable priced. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside.

The quiches are lovely. The homemade, still warm scones are huge and as they are generous with the jam and cream, a gooey delight is cheap and easy to enjoy.

Es como un gran lugar para ir después de una visita al Museo Británico. La tea&coffee; no es muy caro, pero la comida es. Sin embargo, tienes la opción de tomar, que es más barato. Fui a hacer algunas leyendo en una tarde, y tenían gran, wi-fi gratis. Tienes que pedir la contraseña pero el personal es generalmente muy servicial y agradable. Los baños no son brillantes, sí, pero yo he visto mucho peor lugares. Simplemente, son pequeñas y no muy moderna. Si hace sol, es un gran lugar para disfrutar del sol!

Stopped here to have tea and a cake, lovely place, friendly staff and a great selection of foods. We sat outside and enjoyed the afternoon sun

You won't find a place in London worse than this.

Este lugar puede perder su marca con nosotros ... y parece que con otros, a juzgar por los otros comentarios ... por una milla del país. El menú era muy interesante pero la comida servida estaba por debajo de la media.

Expensive, bland, terrible service. Saw the staff drop food on the floor and then still use it! Do not go here, even if you are starving!

Después de una visita al museo B nos sropped para un café en la terraza de este café. los bollos estaban deliciosos, puede ser un poco seco, pero me gusta el helado mucho. pero aquí está mi consejo, no vayas a el inodoro no unles que está a punto de explotar. Creo que es mejor si no dar más detalles. asquerosa.

Paramos para un café y un croissant pensando en lo que podría salir mal, incluso, parecía un poco cutre. Bien, nos sentimos enfermos para unas pocas horas después de eso. Probablemente el croissant era más de 1 semanas de edad. Y el café era horrible y muy caro.

L'emplacement est top, le café moyen, l'étalage de nourriture fait frémir, les gâteaux sont infectes.

Creíamos que habíamos pop en la cafetería de Ruskin llamado romántica para el desayuno antes de visitar el Museo Británico. Desde el exterior, el atractivo de bollos caseros nos dio una buena sensación de anticipación. Pedimos dos cafés, pero pronto decidió no pedir cualquier tipo de comida que necesitábamos haciendo - los rellenos parecía que habíamos salido toda la noche, y cualquier restos de comida fueron almacenados en la 'servirte el frigorífico de bebidas enlatadas. allí nos hemos comprometido a un croissant, que nos pareció alimentos seguros. Sin embargo, esto fue duro. En el aspecto positivo, el café no estaba tan mal. Nunca recomendaría este café, higiene también cuestionable. Nos sentimos decepción ya que tratamos de apoyar las pequeñas empresas en vez de ir a las cadenas hoteleras normales de café.

Después de un viaje fantástico a el museo nos detuvimos aquí para almorzar. Todo parecía agradable al entrar pero pronto empeoró. Cuando la comida no llegue ( una tostada de jamón, queso y huevos además de un sándwich de queso de cabra para la mujer ) era sosa en el extremo y posiblemente el queso de cabra pasando por su mejor momento. Las bebidas eran de la media y el servicio era lento.

This place is in a bgreat location, but offers nothing particularly special over what you might expect from a city centr cafe as distinct from a pub or restaurant. Serviceable enough, but better options nearby.

Después de una visita el B. Museum, fuimos para el té de la tarde con mi agradable . El té de la tarde fue, piezas de sándwiches apples,3 de crema de queso Sainsbury's con cucumber,2 bollos con mermelada y vestidos, y crema y 4 muy pequeños brownies. Con un sabor extraños plus 2 té,total pagamos £18,90 . El servicio es muy malo. Nunca volveré otra vez.

Le gâteau au chocolat et le cheesecake étaient très bon et pas chers pour le quartier. Le service est moyen mais pas désagréable non plus. Je le recommande en cas de petit creux et pas trop de moyen !

Solía ser un lugar seguro para un buen sandwich recién hecho y un café. que haya ido cuesta abajo con servicio desultory pobres y los ingredientes que ahora demasiado caro (turistas: ¿qué saben? Let's forro polar 'em parece ser su lema). Mejores ofertas en otro sitio cerca.

Nous avons pris un thé accompagné de scones, assez déçu de l'accueil,nous n'avons pas eu le choix du thé. Les scones étaient bons, la salle est petite.

Habíamos leído los comentarios publicados aquí después de visitar Ruskin's. Me alegro que ese camino o no han ido en! coincidentemente Aparecimos para té, café y bollos después de visitar el Museo Británico en domingo por la tarde. Nos recibieron como entramos en el café en un chico agradable (sinceramente, no podría decir si él era el propietario/gerente vilipendiados en muchas de las críticas recientes). bastante bien, no para una comida completa como algunas de las críticas, pero los bollos fueron los mejores que he probado en mucho tiempo y fue una agradable atmósfera, y otros más por nosotros parecía contento. Sobre esa base, volvería - si sólo para los bollos.

Very rude owner. Bland bought in food. Shockingly expensive! DO NOT GO HERE! £27 for two cups of tea and two slices of quiche .....!

Así, le permite comenzar esta crítica con unos advertencias - tuve hambre, y nunca había tenido real british bollos y cuajada antes. Y eran increíbles! Así que, muy bueno. Al haber elegido el almuerzo, y teníamos hambre, ya que estaba llegando a tiempo para la cena, decidimos probar el té de crema, que venía con, bien, té y dos bollos, una simple y una Currant, con cuajada y mermelada. ¡Oh Dios mío! Delicioso. El café es también muy bien ubicado si usted está visitando el museo Británico, que es lo que encontramos. El personal no es el más simpático, y el espacio es un poco viejo y sucio, pero en serio, volvería para esos bollos.

Como londinense, es raro que tengo la necesidad de escribir una crítica de este tipo pero creo que es necesario que informe sobre este terrible café managed. Mi amiga y yo somos miembros del Museo Británico y regularmente exposiciones seguido de almuerzo. Ruskin es una cafetería muy convenientemente ubicado cerca del museo y sería un buen lugar para parar si no eran bien ya que es un lugar ideal para visitantes y potencialmente un excelente negocio. Sin embargo, lo que es en la actualidad director/propietario (la persona que supongo que será el director y que parece que tienen en la mayoría de los comentarios negativos) que es grosera y odiosa con absolutamente ningún concepto de servicio al cliente, de preparación de comida ni de café mantenimiento o distribución.

Buscando un lugar para disfrutar de un almuerzo liviano por el BM. No vayas por las cadenas hoteleras - Pret está, Caffe Nero. Vamos a hacer nuestro encargo a un individuo mixto. intentemos Ruskin's. Error. Sucio, oscuro, antiguo Loo down stairs vertiginosa en ocasiones a los 60 años época Loo. Una comida mediocre lasaña, ensalada y una botella de desechos era £9,55 . Están riendo? No, no, y No. La próxima vez, diríjase a Pret está.

This is the single worst restaurant I've ever visited. Do not go there.
