St. James’s Café in City of London, Westminster

It is a very pleasant place to gain strength after a walk through London and continue walking through the park to reach other points of interest. interest. Although we only had coffee, I could see that they also offer food that looked good, the price was not excessive compared to other places in the city, since what we ordered was good and the views were spectacular.

Nothing special but a handy place to get a hot drink while having a walk through the park. Loos weren’t the best but otherwise is was okay.

Beautiful cafe in the middle of a garden

I came in last weekend way too close to closing time, and because I was freezing I asked for a hot drink, and the staff were ever so kind offering a tea since the coffee machine was being cleaned! Really lovely service, and a lovely tea. Thanks to the staff for saving me from a cold that night.

A nice cafe. And sweet waitress

Friendly restaurant, ideal for a break after a long walk.

We took English breakfast. Since we don't eat pork, we wanted to turn our sausage into vegan. They were very interested. They cooked vegan sausage with a different pan. Everything we ate was delicious. Breakfast options are many.

Yes, it is true that it is not cheap at all. At the end of the day, you are where you are. In the heart of London and in one of the most visited parks in the city. I recommend this place more than anything to get out of trouble. In our case, there were 2 of us and we bought an "Indulgent hot chocolate" for £4.75 to make the walk through the park more enjoyable on a cold autumn afternoon. The service was fast and efficient.

Warm setting in the heart of St James Park. The welcome is great, very smiling and responsive staff. The place is very clean!! We eat and drink very well there!!

After watching the changing of the guard and walking through the park, it's worth having a snack or even a meal, we ate the famous fish and chips, which were better than in other places, the establishment has a bathroom which helps after a walk through the park. There are several quick snack options too. A tip, choose a table and keep its number, as when placing the order they will ask for the table number.

El Brunch termina a las 11 - 45 , lo cual es una pena ya que el menú es mucho mejor. Si usted puede conseguir una mesa (sin reservas posibles) es un gran lugar para comenzar / terminar un paseo por los diversos parques de Londres. El personal es muy duro - prensado pero servicial, y la comida no está a la altura (hamburguesa vegetal es v ho - zumbido y patatas fritas son increíblemente salados) .

Lovely service and food was delicious Toilets where a big let down here !!!!!

Nice little cafe in the park! Food came out hot and fast! It was pretty crowded and loud but we had a good time.

I recently visited this café and had mixed feelings about the experience. The food, unfortunately, was somewhat of an acquired taste—not everyone might enjoy it. There was a noticeable lack of French fries on the plate, and the meat wasn’t cooked thoroughly, which left me a bit disappointed. Additionally, I felt the prices were a bit too high for the quality and portions served. Overall, it didn’t quite meet my expectations.

The place is extremely crowded and noisy. The mobile order is practically inaccessible. The base idea is good, but the cellular network can not serve so many phones and the order process gets interrupted very often. I received a dirty water bottle. The waiters are nice and really pro, and trying to overcome the chaos, but they are having a really hard time to serve for every table the right orders and sometimes they fail.

Matcha latte was horrible, it has nothing in common with matcha but the cakes were okay.

Nice cafe, we went late in the day and it was abit messy, pri especially were fair for London, but it's always busy sout be quite good.

On our visit to London, my husband and I visited this cafe, on both of us required the toilets, I can not believe how dirty both the men’s and the lady toilets were, i find this very concerning that a place serving food can provide facilities that are so unclean, it makes me question the hygiene in the kitchen, I reported this to a member of staff, hence we did not stay for any food, I would not recommend this cafe.

St. James’s Café in St. James’s Park has a lovely location with great views, but the food is just okay, especially considering the price. It’s definitely on the expensive side, which is expected in such a tourist-heavy area. The café is a convenient stop for a quick bite while exploring the park, but don’t expect anything extraordinary. That said, the outdoor seating and peaceful surroundings make it a nice spot to relax, even if the food doesn’t quite justify the cost.

This is a cafe on the north side of the lake in St. James park. Opening hours are 8am to 6pm daily and there is a large indoor seating area along with outside tables. You can order at the counter or by way of barcode you will find at the tables. Menu is a wide selection of sweet and savoury orders along with a fairly typical range of drinks. I recently took a rest break here and was served a good order of sweet potato fries and a coffee. Prices are reasonable, service fast. Its a good location for a drink or bite to eat break while exploring the park.

Good place but it is expensive.

Este es un café en el lado norte del lago en la calle. James Park. El horario de apertura es de 8 am a 6 pm todos los días y hay una gran zona de estar cubierta junto con mesas exteriores. Puedes pedir en el mostrador o por medio de código de barras que encontrarás en las mesas. El menú es una amplia selección de pedidos dulces y salados junto con una gama bastante típica de bebidas. Recientemente tomé un descanso aquí y me sirvieron una buena orden de patatas fritas y un café. Los precios son razonables, servicio rápido. Es una buena ubicación para tomar una copa o comer descanso mientras explora el parque.

Tasty cakes and coffee. The only minus is the long queue to the toilet. I recommend using the services of London Turysta. Polish guide to London.

Esto tiene el potencial de ser un excelente café. Está en una ubicación encantadora y ofrece una variedad de buenas opciones de comida. Lamentablemente, se ve defraudado por los malos estándares de limpieza. Las tortas se dejan descubiertas y desenvueltas en una pantalla, y fui testigo de cómo más de un niño las manipulaba y luego las reemplazaba antes de que otros clientes involuntarios las seleccionaran. Numerosas mesas quedaron sin despejar durante más de una hora. Los baños de mujeres eran particularmente sucios, sin papel higiénico y cerraduras rotas en muchos cubículos. También los están utilizando padres y madres para sus hijos (niños y niñas), que parecen preferir esperar en largas colas los baños de mujeres en lugar de usar los de hombres.

Never try iced matchas. Don’t spend your money for this trash. Including rude staff.

Lovely outlook to the river lovely ambience weather was perfect

Outside there was everywhere a terrible smell of urine. You could not sit outside .

Here now...toilets are disgusting...have photos

St James's Café in London is a charming spot that offers a delightful dining experience. Located in the heart of St. James's, it features a cozy atmosphere with tasteful decor, making it perfect for both casual lunches and more formal gatherings.

Great place for lunch! Had Fish and Chips and it was brilliant!

Went for a run with my acquaintance Jacques in the park, after which we had a lovely chat over lunch at this café. After fighting together in Guatemala, this Sunday we fought off St James’ army of pigeons.

A nice but busy place lovely location

Easy to order food from the table. Fish and chips were delicious. Only issue was our food was delivered at least 5 minutes before our drinks.

Their iced strawberry matcha looks horrible and tastes equally as horrible… Do not recommend

Beautiful spot for a break and a hot meal.

A good meal at a fair price, would visit again.

Expensive, but beautiful place with indoor and outdoor seating, very crowded but you can find a place.

Everytime I am at London I go there to eat scones with tea. Love it.

wonderful cafe in Saint James park, amazing coffee and pastries as well, reasonable prices for London, definitely recommend🙏🫶

Precio excesivo y sucio... Familia del extranjero de visita. Íbamos a Horse Guard Parade (visitar el museo y ver el cambio de Guardias). Caminaba por la calle. James Park, vio café así que decidió ir a almorzar. Primeras impresiones, la arquitectura del edificio única, la configuración de las diversas áreas de comida (postre, bebidas, sándwiches, asientos de mesa - interior y exterior) , lo suficientemente agradable. Puede solicitarse a través del código QR o en el mostrador. Pedimos en el mostrador como sin cola. Los precios son escandalosos, totalmente calibrando a los turistas! La selección de menús no es enorme, pero hay otras opciones, como la sección de la isla sándwich por las bebidas. Pedí un latte helado de vainilla, fish & chips. No podía probar la vainilla en el café con leche. Fish & chips - pequeña cantidad de guisantes y salsa tártara. Ok cantidad de patatas. Pescado rebozado de tamaño mediano. Pero la calidad no coincidía con el precio. Nos sentamos adentro, traen comida a tu mesa. Quería sentarme al aire libre pero cada mesa desocupada tenía caca de pájaro... y palomas alineadas en el riel esperando para agarrar comida de su plato. Las mesas interiores tampoco se limpian. Tuvimos que limpiarlo nosotros mismos antes de sentarnos. Por último, pero no menos importante, los baños eran asquerosos, no rollo de baño. Parece que no se ha limpiado en siglos.

Fantastic cafe in the heart of London right nxt to buckingham palce ,the mall,horsegaurds Been comming hear for 20 years pluss and a real great place Nice staff adam is great! And coffee and food allways good

Idéalement situé dans le magnifique Park St-James à quelques minutes à pied de Picadilly, ce café-restaurant propose une carte variée dans un cadre très agréable et dispose d'une jolie terrasse. Accueil sympathique. Paiement uniquement en CB. Rapport qualité-prix correct. On y déguste un très bon Fish & chips, copieusement servi !

Delicious lunch and the gardens were beautiful. Great staff!

Decent fish and chips. Chip portion a bit small. Nice outdoor space to refuel in the park. Watch out for the pesky pigeons.

Great cafe with remarkable outdoor space❤️🦆

Unfortunately, as a solo traveler, I wasn't able to look for a table with a number - should I leave my handbag there unattended? - and then order at the counter. So I just drank some tea and later observed that a table that became vacant was not immediately cleared away, but was immediately taken over by winged guests. From the other reviews I see that hygiene is a problem here.

Delicious food but at prices that do not justify it and the staff, with exceptions, do not have the patience to work with tourism, which is the main client of this place. Serious would not be the problem, speaking badly is the issue. I'm not coming back PS men's bathroom not working

It's ok. A bit overpriced. Oh and they add sugar to the Matcha....it's a shame I had to find out by taste. Coffee was ok. Cake was a bit dry. Overall there are a lot of other better options nearby.

The Fish and Chips were disgusting. The view was great tho.

Restaurant "canteen" very well located

Has self service for pastry/cakes in the open (which the flies/wasps were attracted to) and a selection of pre made sandwiches/wraps. You need to have a table/table no. to order all other food, not incl made to order drinks, which you have to wait for at the counter. Service when I visited in the morning was extremely slow, and it only had a few customers. I'd hate to experience the wait in busy times! Mens toilet was out of order when I visited (they were queuing for the single diabled loo) and Womens had a few cubicles out of order. The setting for the cafe is attractive with a view of the park. There is some outside seating too.

The cafe is great and worth a try

The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was fast and friendly, and the cozy ambiance added to the experience. A delightful restaurant!

Lovely cafe in the park - lots of seating in and out - order via app - great table service - lovely salad and coffee

The atmosphere of this café is beautiful, a little bit noisy but pretty good, the service was relatively well... I consider the food (cakes) a little bit pricey.

I ordered a decaf mocha and it came with too much cocoa with hardly any coffee to taste. I returned and asked for refund. At least they agreed to refund me.

They don’t do any dish with just egg. So we ordered Egg Royal / Egg Benedict without Salmon/ Bacon. However we had to pay full 14 pounds price which makes no sense Male urinals also need redoing

Very nice cafe and super well located, the problem is the pigeons that attack the tables on the balcony.

Very convenient and reasonable choice, though if outside troubled by pigeons.

Great attention on ST James Park, the vegan burger was really good, the fries are awesome. I recommended this place, very friendly people

Just popped in here for a coffee which was nice and quick and a good price for London.

In the heart of the park we ate some good fish chips😊. advise

Large choice or cold and warm drinks. Nice pastries and cakes. Plenty of seats inside and outside. Well located. The service is average though.

Our first ever fish and chips experience. Delicious. Then cappuccino and cake. Delicious.

Great place, food and views. Centric as well which is great for when people visit and want to continue doing touristy things

Very nice atmosphere. Prices ok. Unfortunately, the toilets are in an absolutely unacceptable condition, hence only two stars.

Good coffee and cinamon rolls. Take away in the park.

Good place to have snacks or meal as well

A great little place where you can have a coffee, tea or some soft drink after a walk

Young lad who said it was his third shift was perfect, very polite and demure

Eggs Benedict and pancake Americano are both delicious!! All you have to do is sit down first, tell the table number, and order!

Nice food and selection of Camden Town beers set in lovely St James park.

The Café itself was very beautiful, but the carrot cake that we ate was way too sweet. Especially the topping. The staff was more annoyed than helpful. Considering the Café is quite expensive, it wasn't worth it.

Very overcrowded, no longer has the flair of before when you were served. Now self-service, where everyone can touch the open cakes...

I ordered the vegan burger and it was nasty. I couldn't eat it anymore after a few bites, plus the fork that came with the meal was dirty. The only positive was that it was a very nice place to sit on the patio.

Wonderful ambiance, tasty dishes, and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place!

Unwelcoming staff who don't take the time to take an order. Neither my friend or I had 4g or WiFi to take an electronic order when I explained the problem to the staff, no one bothered to help us. I won't try again!

I've been going there for three years and I'm satisfied every time

Ordered pink lemonade, they brought out normal lemonade because they ran out of the syrup, without asking us. The lemonade turned out to be water with a hint of lemon juice. On request they replaced them with an iced latte that turned out to be bitter. The orange juice was good but I’m pretty sure it was from a bottle, not fresh. Nice location though

Expensive and the tannoy music made it unnecessarily loud.

I give the food at the St.James Cafe 5 stars! I was totally blown away with the menu items. I tried the Josper Chicken and a Mount Grace Beef Burger. The presentation 👌 was beautiful and everything we tried was absolutely delicious! Fast service, generous portions, friendly staff, clean restrooms, reasonable menu prices, and smack dab in the middle of the park! The dessert selections look soooooo good! I will definitely return!

The place is incredible and the Atmosphere was great , the food is so delicious.

Delicious food but not many gluten free options available today

Cafe in the center of St James's Park. English dishes and lots of people

With regret, I would not recommend this cafe. Everything about it was tired, boring, and ordinary. It needs the business manager to look hard at what is offered to the public in order to give them an experience in keeping with the setting. The cafe was busy due to the location but it was little better than a Joe's cafe!

The lettuce was not processed properly, lots of brown spots. My daughter was also looking forward to the burger shown on the menu, but when we ordered we were told that they didn't have anything like that. Big disappointment because she couldn't eat anything.

Disgusting toilets, horrible expensive food and small portions

Excellent friendly service. Clean baby changing room.

Really good place for food in the park. Charles must be raking it on

Sat outside to have a late lunch. Our table didn't have a number, and inside I was unable to order food to eat here, only as takeaway, because of this. And quite frankly, it's difficult to bring outside two glasses of prosecco (in plastic cups), a box of chicken caesar salad and a cup of coffee, which was inexplicably given to me in a regular cup to make bringing everything to the table extra difficult. Nice location with decent food, but the food ordering is a joke

Self service cafe with a selection of hot and cold food. Nice cakes and coffee! Plenty of inside and outdoor seating.

Nice location but long wait times due to forgotten orders and broken toilets made the visit a poor one.

Fish & Chips were really very decent although very expensive. Advice on allergens was very good. Overall very expensive. It's a bit difficult the method that you have to have a table first because you need a number to order. The toilet was scary and that's why a point was deducted.

Nice good service but im not sure how I feel with women using the mens bathroom. probably should have management look at that but im sure they where aware .

Nestled in a garden The place is nice, clear and spacious, but it can be difficult to get a table during peak times The products are many and delicious Return to him

I tried the vegan Burger for £16. The burger was great. Only the patty tasted a bit too smokey, in my opinion. But very nice view and great service.

Not impressed. Food was OK. Service at the counter was OK. The toilets however, after you had your receipt inspected to make sure you are a paying customer, were disgusting, men's and women's. I suppose at least they don't charge for the toilets, that would have added insult to injury!

I had a burger and the other half had a pasta dish the food was good, The burger had flavour and was moist and very filling. The chips were really nice although there could have been a few more of them. The place needs a good clean, we sat outside and there was an array of cob webs and bird poo this should be cleaned every day as far as I'm concerned I also had an issue with the toilet not being looked at regularly as the urinal had been filling up for some time as someone decided to put tissue paper in it.

The coffee was good, but we saw people touching the cakes at the entrance with their hands and leaving them in their place!!! The toilets are disgusting, there is no soap. It's a shame, because the place is nice and it's nice...

The coffee is good, and the place is very good quality/price, but the service (bathroom) is horrible, everything is very dirty and disgusting, a horse's toilet is cleaner than that bathroom. The cakes and food are outdoors and I have seen a child eat one and finger them all, otherwise perfect.
