Had a lovely brunch and cocktail here sat outside in the sun. Great food, decent bloody Mary’s and a great location to watch the world go by. They have crammed in as many tables as possible inside so does get a touch loud but that’s ok. Only problem and cause of missing out on five stars is they have a single unisex toilet for the whole place, which makes it a bit awkward. Food is super tasty and they have a varied menu, everything is cooked well and served nicely

Great breakfast and lunch place. Food is good and service was good. If you’re staying in a local hotel and the breakfast menu is not to your liking. This is a great place for pastries and coffees also they have a menu with typical breakfast items.

Had a reservation here for 10:30am at the Covent Garden branch. Admittedly was 10 minutes late and turned up at 10:40am, but there is a 15 minute grace period policy so knew we were fine. There was a queue at the front door with 3 people in front whilst people waited for a member of staff to come and seat you as there was a sign instructing you to do this. We were waiting 7 minutes before somebody came to the queue to seat people as staff were serving other tables. The manager said we could no longer have our table because we were 2 minutes over the 15 minute grace period - but this was only because we were waiting so long for someone to seat us - and they had seen us in the queue! When we questioned this because we had been in the premises waiting within the time, he was really rude and said why didn’t you say before that you had a reservation - but there was no member of staff to tell this too as they were waiting on other tables. Would not recommend.

Chic little cafe with heavy wooden design & use of black. Latte I had was good. The toast was tasty and healthy with ingredients like sun dried tomato, halloumi cheese, spinach & mushroom. The little flaw I’d say was the egg was a bit overcooked to me. It gets quite busy during the lunch hours.

I don’t know where to start. When we came in we were seated and told we would get table service. We waited so long to get any waiter to come to us that by the time they did we had run out of time because we were on our way to the theatre. When I did try go up to the counter all the waiters were literally throwing things over me and completely failing to acknowledge I was waiting to order or talk to someone. The service here is terrible and I’m glad we didn’t stick around because the first impression was very bad.

My Mom and I dined where with one of our local friends who selected this spot. While it looks small from the outside, it is fairly spacious inside. There is no reservation system, just a good old wait outside until your name is called. Thankfully on a Sunday morning we were seated after a brief wait. The atmosphere was quaint, the service was decent but the food was AMAZING! I had the crispy confit duck hash and it was such a flavorful unique dish, I’m absolutely enjoyed it. We also ordered the Green Eggs and The Gatherer, which was also tasty dishes.

Mine consisted of two thick rashers of tasty bacon, two poached eggs, a large mushroom, tomato, sausage and spicy beans, garnished with rocket. Beautifully presented and sumptuous in taste. Yes this recommendation lived up to its " billing". My son had changed his eggs for scrambled otherwise the same as mine.

Went here with my cousin on a Sunday and was told the wait was 20 minutes, which was expected. A while later while waiting, the lady forgot that I had put my name down earlier and kept asking for my name, before finally accepting that I was indeed on the list and could be shown to our table. We sat down and looked at the menu (which is not that extensive) and did not receive any service for 10 minutes, when we finally asked a waiter if we could have some water. We had to ask to give our orders a while later, as nobody was waiting on us. The orders took about 40 minutes (!) to arrive, while everyone around us (who even were sat after us) got served. At the end my cousin asked to have the discretionary service charge taken off the final bill as we decided it was not deserved, upon which the manager who sat us came and asked why, then kept saying the slow service was because it was busy! I don't think it was more than an average Sunday. Another issue was that the entire place had only one toilet, so there was often a queue to use the bathroom. On the up-side the food was quite good (biggest portion of french toast I've ever had - wasn't able to finish it) and the freshly pressed juice I also really enjoyed.

En nuestro viaje de una semana por Londres, todos fueron cálidos, amables y serviciales. Ese fue el caso hasta que vinimos aquí para desayunar una mañana. Habiendo visto excelentes críticas en Google, decidimos pasar.Desde el principio, la camarera que teníamos no parecía satisfecha con nosotros. Muy breve con nosotros en la forma de preguntar, "¿qué quieres beber?" Normalmente, esto no sería un problema si estuviera teniendo un mal día o algo así, pero también estaba atendiendo las mesas adyacentes y era completamente diferente en su comportamiento cuando interactúa con ellos. Los demás eran obviamente asiduos y nosotros obviamente turistas con acentos estadounidenses.Nuestra comida tardó una eternidad y era muy básica, no genial, no terrible. Ella no vino a rellenar nuestras bebidas en absoluto. Y cuando terminamos, no se la encontraba en ninguna parte. Probablemente esperamos y conversamos durante 25 minutos antes de que me levantara a buscarla, ya que teníamos cosas turísticas que hacer ese día. Estaba conversando con la persona detrás de la barra, totalmente comprometida. Le pregunté si podíamos recibir nuestra factura, ella me miró fijamente, hubo un incómodo silencio de 15 segundos antes de mudarse y cerrarnos.Comida normal, muy mal servicio y tardó una eternidad. Nunca volvería

Vi que este lugar de brunch fue muy revisado y mis amigos y yo decidimos probarlo un sábado. De acuerdo, esperaba una larga espera dado que era un sábado, pero cuando aparecimos no había cola y la señora nos dijo que estaríamos sentados en 15 minutos. Esos 15 minutos eventualmente se convirtieron en una hora y 15 minutos, lo que hubiera sido genial si ella nos hubiera dicho eso originalmente. A la media hora, estábamos atrapados en la espera dado que los lugares a nuestro alrededor tenían tiempos de espera similares. Cuando finalmente nos sentamos, nos dieron asientos en el bar, que no son nada cómodos. Sé que el lugar es un lugar informal para cenar y tiene una "vibra nerviosa", pero el cuero se está cayendo de los asientos y esencialmente estás sentado en el marco de una silla de metal, lo que no es ideal. A pesar de todo esto, estaba convencido de que la comida satisfaría mis expectativas y ¡perseveré! ! Pero . . . 3) 90 para tostadas es ridículo y mis dos amigos huevos escalfados eran duros! La comida era muy normal por el precio, a pesar de ser agradablemente presentada. No me molestaría en esperar este lugar. . . ve a Bills en el camino para un brunch más barato.

Seis de nosotros habíamos estado - rápido aquí el 9 de julio. No teníamos reserva, pero la camarera pudo acomodarnos en un rincón. El servicio fue excelente al igual que la comida. Delicioso café y zumos recién exprimidos. La comida era de alta calidad. Realmente disfrutamos de nosotros mismos.

Stopped in for some coffee while out and about in the area. Lovely little cafe - clean, friendly staff and very cosy. Most importantly - the coffee was fantastic!

Myself and my partner walked from Tottenham court looking for places to eat when we stumbled upon this gem. I had the bubble and squeak with a side of halloumi with the best cappuccino I’ve ever had. 5 star, incredible.

Stopped by for drinks and cake. You may have to wait for a table as it gets very busy. They do a mean chai latte

Had breakfast here rather than at the hotel with friends. A great way to start the day. English breakfasts can be so stodgy but this was fresh and well cooked. Service is very friendly

We used a red letter day voucher for our brunch. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We both chose The Hunter from the menu and wow it was amazing. The food is all of an excellent quality and cooked to a good standard. The poached eggs were out of this world. We really enjoyed our meal along with the delicious coffee. I would definitely recommend The Black Penny for an amazing experience.

Firstly, the decor was modern and clean. I found the staff polite. The food was nicely presented and tasty, but pricey. I was excited to taste the water as it looked very appealing with a bunch of fresh mint in the carafe, however it was completely tasteless and odourless, so had obviously been topped up without changing the herbs. However, the biggest disappointment was the treatment to my vegan/gluten free daughter. The menu stated vegan options, yet there were none. There was one dish that contained no gluten but it did include an egg. She asked the waiter if she could exchange the egg for some mushrooms or tomatoes. He told her she could opt to remove egg but they would not substitute. If she wanted anything else it would be at an extra charge of £3 plus per item. I understand that the management do not want to do this on a regular basis, but when they cannot offer a vegan option , i think that attitude stinks. Especially when you consider that the cost of her food was £12 plus and for the 4 of us to have breakfast and coffee it came to a total of £71 !! I Wouldn’t recommend this cafe as there are many obliging coffee shops in the area

Another visit to Black Penny and same good food and service. We had scrambled eggs and salt beef hash and both dishes were good. The sourdough bread that came with scrambled eggs was not as tasty as it usually is but was ok.

Food was superb - great flavour & portions. Staff couldn’t have been nicer. Bottomless Prosecco just kept coming! Strongly recommended (contrary to some other reviews)

This place was decent, it had what we were after. However, I would agree it’s on the pricey side. At first I didn’t think it was that bad but when you look at over £25 for two bacon and egg baps, a coffee each and some water, it seems excessive.

Awesome food here - lovely menu with a variety of choices for food. I can highly recommend the Granola and Sourdough Toast with black penny jam. The jam was sweet and sticky, and the granola contained fresh pineapple. Lovely.

I went for bottomless brunch and was disappointed. Food was mediocre, and unlike other bottomless brunch places they refused to leave the bottle at your table, so you have to wait 5 minutes whenever your glass is empty for them to top up. They don't give you your first drink til around 15 minutes after you arrive, and don't refill your glass in the last 10 minutes of your session as it's near the end. Overall just felt very stingy, must be a very stingy nasty manager making their staff act like this. Maybe try giving customers a good experience than just trying to make a profit from them? You may find you are more successful.

Found this place after been recommended in google. Nice location, great atmosphere, great service. Wasn’t impressed as much as I thought I would be with the food. And of course, a bit disappointed with pricing .. brunch for one £17 ?? And at the top of the bill 10-15% service charge... unfortunately this was something that really put me off. My experience overall ok.

In search of a little coffee place for breakfast in Covent Garden; this one is a bit out of touristy area but very nice indeed. The breakfast selection is great; went there once and came back again the following day, yes it’s that good. Cozy and delicious

Opened last year or early this year..very pleasant and airy bar / cafe, which if you're arriving early for a meeting or finishing early, is a nice place to chew over the errors in your recent ritual meeting! As usual in London all a bit pricey but very convenient after a meeting in the Temples. Very bright and tastefully decorated with the usual good staff.

We loved our lunch at Carrots and Daikon yesterday. I had the garlic tofu Banh mi and my husband had the tofu lunch box. The baguette forming my Banh mi was the perfect combination of crunch with a soft centre and the tofu was nicely garlicky. What really made our day were the ice creams! The chrysanthemum and mango ice cream was such a fantastic combination and the matcha and pistachio was delicious too. We then bought one of each of the other flavours and I must admit that the combinations are creative genius! Who would’ve thought that mint choc chip would go with coffee and raspberry and jasmine tea with its floral notes would hit the spot?! I thought that the coconut and lemongrass was super refreshing too. Thank you to the friendly folk at C & D.

It was my favorite place to have the typical English breakfast, but it has lost a lot in recent years. The food and ingredients are correct (somewhat bland) when before it was delicious. It is a place absolutely opposite to those for tourists, extremely simple and, I think, without a toilet. The girl who served us was friendly. The manager or owner, not so much, apart from wanting to charge us £4 more. Correct and economical option if you are there, in short.
