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

Good coffee, beautiful scenery and lovely staff

Excellent cakes and confectionery, can be bit busy but the vibe is nice

Nice place for a breakfast. Lovely inside the St James Park.

poor service poor coffee. small portions, extremely expensive

Great experience. Self service. Do recommend the burger and the fish and chips. Nice place to be in the summer.

Delicious breakfast, top service, I recommend it, it's really a great place!

I got a coffee and a muffin and when I saw they charged me for some pumpkin caramel latte thing, I figured it was the same price as the muffin. I then went back for a bottle of water that was £2.15 and they charged me £5.60. Think the overcharged me on some boujee latte that cost double the price of my muffin. Make sure you’re looking at the price before you pay because they’re taking the piss and overcharging everything. Make sure to get a receipt.

Great experience and lovely staff, small issue with the order as certain items didn't arrive, had to speak to multiple staff to resolve such dilemma but in the end was resolved smoothly once speaking to the manager

Very tasty vegan burger, nice service, clean and comfy.

Very good fish & chips - large portion, crispy fish, delicious. Lots of visitors, but they manage

I recently had the pleasure of dining at St. James Cafe, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, that makes you feel right at home. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. Each dish is crafted with care and precision. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes , you can tell they use high-quality ingredients that are both locally sourced and thoughtfully prepared. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring that your needs are met without being intrusive. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than happy to offer recommendations. I will definitely be back!

What a great place for breakfast! You can't beat the atmosphere and the views. Ordering with the app was both easy and efficient. Our appetites were eager and ready for the hot, tasty egg sandwiches after the fresh walk though the park. We enjoyed this stop and the meal.

I like the venue, I have been before, but definitely taken by Benugo the experience in quality, price and Service went down. Flavour and presentation was also not good.

Very nice place in St. James Park. The cakes were delicious. Café we're very nice.

Lovely cafe with plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor) and a huge range of food.

Good, convenient location in St. James Park - for a short stop, rest, drink coffee, eat a sandwich

Awful service. I just wanted to buy a bottle of water to go and took them almost 5 minutes to notice me and let me pay (and that cause I had to almost scream and ask say the girl at the cash: Hello there, I would like to pay). There was no queue, no client, anyone, all the workers were only not interested at all. Never again.

0/5 for the food poisoning I got from the fish and chips. Too too oily

Really cosy and comfortable with great view

Ordered a single coffee which I waited an hour for and never arrived. So not recommend, the service is shocking.

The Park is lovely and the cafe, overlooking the lake is respite in central London

Loved the full English breakfast! Server was fantastic!

Watched changing of the guards, stroll up the mall and had lunch there

Very nice space, the food is not that good, there are better places to eat Fish and Chips.

Very nice, in the middle of St. James Park,

It is such a shame that this place is not better. It literally has one of the best locations in the world. But it is a bit of an industrialised tourist trap. The prices are high and the quality is what I would call tourist adequate. The food is fine, but not memorable, outside has more atmosphere than in. Service today was very slow, even for two cups of tea, and even though it was pretty empty.

Big indoor cafe, with plenty of seating. The coffee is good and there are plenty of vegetarian options for breakfast/lunch, with good portion sizes. It was busy because it was a Saturday, but we didn't wait that long for the food to arrive. Good place to warm up after a cold winter morning walk in the park.

I live quite close to this cafe and have visited many times, but the quality of the service and refreshments is horribly inconsistent. Today's was nothing short of appalling. With only one member of staff taking orders the wait time was excessive, as was the wait for the ordered drinks. I saw them put a prepared hot chocolate towards the back of the prep area and there it sat, waiting for the coffees to arrive. At that point the staff, realising that the hot chocolate was now definitely not hot, topped up the mug with more hot milk. This overflowed into the tray and when I asked for a saucer, was told they couldn't let me have one and would have to ask for permission. I returned the chocolate and realised that asking for a refund would also possibly take an excessive amount of time. The tables on the veranda area were horribly cheap and a lot of them were not stable. You have an amazing spot for this cafe in a beautiful park and you are wasting an opportunity to provide an experience that would have people wanting to visit again. At the moment I suspect that many of the people in there today would have left with a very negative opinion and I for one will not be back until you have made considerable improvements to your ordering and service.

A cafe located in the park. Restroom available.

It sounds like you had a mixed experience at the shop. A 3 for the food due to its difficulty to eat might be a concern if you were looking forward to a comfortable meal. Not knowing if they have a microwave can certainly add to that uncertainty. On top of that, a non-smiling service desk lady might give the impression that the customer service wasn't the best, but it's understandable that she could have been working all day. On the bright side, giving a 5 for the shop's location in the park suggests that the setting is lovely and enjoyable. It's always nice when a place is situated in a beautiful spot. If you plan to go back, maybe you could ask about the microwave situation or try another dish that might be easier to handle.

We only ordered an expresso and juice which was fine. However, when I went to use the toilet one of the staff stood right in front of doorway like a security guard and was blocking my entry. He then plainly stated that it was for customers only… It was rude and unnecessary. Like, read the room brother!

Cakes and scrolls are dry and unpleasant, coffee is mediocre. Staff refused to heat it up after asking too. Main breakfast dishes were good.

A good spot, located in a nice park that offers brilliant food and drinks. I recommend!

Abbiamo pranzato in questo posto meraviglioso immerso nel parco. La Manager Chiara ci ha accolto veramente alla grande spiegandoci tutti i piatti e consigliando molto bene. La carne veramente buona. I bambini hanno gradito tutto ma soprattutto hanno gradito i dolci. Pulizia del locale ottima e servizio molto rapido e preciso. Forse le specialità tipiche londinesi migliori che abbiamo mangiato in questa piccola vacanza. Torneremo sicuramente. Grazie CHIARA.

Abysmal, ordered there big breakfast which was cold when it arrived and the place was very quiet. Drinks when ordered with your breakfast are not brought over to your table, but you are not informed about this so you sit for 15mins and no one says anything. Would not eat or drink here again, even if someone else paid. Avoid this inefficient joke of an eatery at all cost.

A cafe with a British atmosphere on St. James's Park. It is recommended to arrive before the changing of the royal guards in the morning at Buckingham Palace for a coffee and pastry in a local atmosphere with a background of the park and the London Eye.

Stopped here on our walk to Buckingham Palace on a very cold day. We all ordered the hot chocolate and it was just what we needed to continue our walk!

Had the pleasure of dining at StJames Park last weekend, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance and decor set the tone for a fantastic evening. The service was top-notch - made excellent recommendations.

Decent breakfast in a beautiful location just across from HG parade.

This is a great place to stop for breakfast. Before 9 am, we didn't have any wait and picked our seat. The food was delicious and the view was beautiful.

Good is fine but quiet pricey. The environment doesn't say much.

Overcrowded and with the image of a school canteen. Mediocre coffee. Staff struggling with the numbers affecting the quality of service

Lovely setting in St James's Park. Ordered via online in-store and received order promptly and efficiently. Good quality food at reasonable prices.

We ate very well, it was plentiful and tasty. Nice setting. We recommend

Sat down for a quick coffee as we were with our child, ordered the coffees came on horrible condition, dirty plates and cups, the waiter was so rude when I asked for a spoon and sugar, just replied is over there when to the counter and he was on the tills that moment asked him again and he was just pointing me random things in the shop. Then I asked the other lady that was on the tills and she just gave me a cup of sugar that had been used by others with a dirty spoon.I understand some people have a bad day but don't pass it to your customer that comes to enjoy their coffee. Horrible place even if it was the one and only coffee shop in UK I wouldn't bother to drink coffee there again.

At great place to rest and refresh. Close to parks and attractions with good food and coffee.

Great location, but ordering takes a very long time and is very inefficient.

Bad service, there is shouting and there is hardly any human contact. Staff argue, do not respond to customer questions and work unhygienically. They also messed up the order for a single double espresso that I made. I got a normal espresso and it was also undrinkable.

Very busy place and also crowded. Okay food and very good service

Very poor layout & bad ordering and collection of coffee is more like a market too chaotic and have to fight your way through. Waited 11mins for a mocha only for it to taste like warm water. Seating arrangement is inconvenient.

After 30 minutes wait, had to go to other que

Incredible service and attention from its manager, Miss Robyn, a charming person and a great professional, her food has been the best we have tried here in London, beef, mashed potatoes, sausages, hamburgers, her desserts are incredible, in short, 10 stars in every way, and the best coffee and desserts we have had, the great quality is evident in all the products. Congratulations to your director, for his products and above all for the success of hiring such professional and wonderful people for the public, without a doubt 10 stars

The long wait in line to place orders and the extended preparation time for the coffees indicate a need for more staff. It would be better to have additional employees to improve the service speed and customer experience.

Great place does really well as a restaurant

Made a "warm-up" stop along the way while cycling. 1 staff member not so friendly. Furthermore, it was not clean.

Excellent English breakfast after slight service mix up...

I absolutely do not recommend Very poorly received by the staff Their menu specialty is the savory breakfast which was refused to serve us for no reason The toilet door was boarded up Expensive for a simple coffee

Came with family after experiencing the guard changing ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Got a good seating area, the staff were friendly and the service was great. We ordered fish and chips and it was amazing. Will definitely recommend this place ❤️

The restaurant is overcrowded and not cozy. It must be ordered via a QR code. We found that very annoying.

Very dirty and unkept with staff who just don’t want to be there. Dirty seats and floor. Come on owners, sort it out please

We bought caesar salad where the chicken was very dry and hard, the croutons chewy and there was far too much dressing. Not worth the money!

La comida y el café era agradable, sin embargo, el personal podría haber sido más amable. Hice una pregunta a un miembro del personal que estaba discutiendo algo con sus colegas, y ella fue desdeñosa. En su lugar me redirigió a otros colegas. Más tarde parecía que trabajaba en la cocina, sin embargo, en un negocio público, todo el personal debe recordar que el servicio al cliente es responsabilidad de todos.

Visitamos este café antes de ver a los guardias de caballos desfilar. La mañana que visitamos estaba limpio en el interior (no recomendaría sentarse al aire libre como platos apilados en mesas y palomas que tienen un día de campo). Las ollas de yogur y compota estaban frías y sabrosas, los cruasanes estaban sentados al descubierto y eran muy promedio. El café era bueno. Los baños estaban limpios. Imaginaría que se pondría muy ocupado en el punto álgido de la temporada, pero está bien la mañana que estuvimos allí. Personal bastante agradable.

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.

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!!

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.

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) .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Beautiful spot for a break and a hot meal.

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