The Cafe at Foyles in Camden

There is a lady with short hair and blue eyes at the till and she is super rude and impatient to the point it makes you feel uncomfortable to even try order something. The dirty cups/plates sit on the tables for hours and people can barely find the space to put their own belongings in the meantime. It is such a shame for such a beautiful cafe.. The food is still amazing...

We went to the Cafe at Foyles for a pre theatre light dinner. We expected to have soup and a sandwich, or something similar. They also advertised a cream tea. What we found was no soup, sandwiches that were sitting out on the counter, not refrigerated. Cream tea with clotted cream sitting out on the counter without refrigeration. Very disappointed and settled for a Coke and a piece of carrot cake. Skip this cafe!!

Lovely location at the top of the book shop. Nice food and coffee if and when you get it. Slowest service in world history and don't order more than one thing as they forget

This cafe is lovely and I often work and eat here, meet friends etc but if it weren't for the fab atmosphere and brilliant bookstore I would avoid it. It's hugely frustrating that they never have enough staff and the staff they do have seem to leave one person to take all the pressure of orders and making coffees while the others wander around tidying up and avoiding customers. Slowest queue I've been in for a while and repetitively so. Food is not cheap so the whole experience is lacking.

I’ve been here before and it’s been fine. Today’s trip was awful though. The toilets were really unclean and several were out of order. A sign has been put up encouraging you to only stay for two hours. The blinds had been drawn and not all of the lights turned on so I had to sit at a table in the gloom. One of the staff tried to clear away an iced tea I was still drinking and was a bit rude when I asked if I could keep drinking it! Their card machine was down, which I know isn’t anyone’s fault particularly, but it just added to the general air of unfriendliness and discomfort.

Nice spot quite pricey but the food and drink are nice. Read other reviews of the rude waiter (male in his 40s) and had the same harassment from him - very condescending if you don't buy a drink straight away and he asked me to leave after about an hour due to store policy even though the cafe was basically empty. Will go again but try to avoid him.

While the overpriced hot chocolate I had ordered had tasted great, the waiter or store manager (white man in his late 40s or early 50s) was very asked me condescendingly if I knew ' know how cafe's work' while I had asked about a cafe policy- which was rude and unnecessary!! The floors and tables are dirty. Save your money and just visit the bookshop instead.

Love Foyles the Bookshop. The cafe is good, food nice. Unbelievably slow service! The toilets (mens!) was absolutely disgusting!!! One of the urinals was out of action with a clear sign taped across it. The other urinal was in service (allegedly) but was backed up to the brim with water running out of the pipes below. The stall was filthy, looks like it had not been cleaned the entire day. The cleaner (female) came in unannounced and removed the bucket beneath the gushing urinal - I mentioned how disgusting the toilets were - she looked at me for a second then walked away, muttering something. To add to this - people come out the toilets straight into the food serving area. When you consider the potential for cross-contamination - the level of hygiene is appalling.

Just reviewing based on my accumulated visits over a year. I would say the atmosphere is decent, and from my experience, staff neither encourage nor disdain laptop users so I was kind of surprised by the reviews. My time had been pleasant so far, so I guess there had been a slight change in management. I had tried some of the menu, they are decent. But the coffee, consistently horrible.

Ligger högst upp i huset. Prisvärt. Vi var här två gånger. Lite trångt eftersom många sitter här och läser eller pluggar. Välsmakande.

Erg gezellig hier, je kunt hier urenlang koffiedrinken en die is van goede kwaliteit. Het café is erg populair en dat merk je, het is heel lastig om een plekje te veroveren, vooral in het weekend. kom dus door de week

I love the Foyles Café Charing Cross and I use to pop in many times to study and have my lunch or coffee! Last time I went there I was totally out of battery and without my wallet. I tried to charge my phone in one of the plugs available in the Café so I would be able to buy my food using Google Pay. One gent with a grey-ish beard that was collecting the empty glasses (I think the owner) just jump behind me saying straight away  with a really unfriendly tone that it was  not allowed to use the plugs because IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS. First of all  no matter your position its good to show some manners like saying at least "hello" or "excuse me" when talking to someone that you don't know personally. Secondly why are you guys allowing REALLY DANGEROUS plugs in the space that I use to see students plugging their computers or customers charging phones all the time.??? Either the way you talked or the excuse ypu gave for not using the plugs I just can see a lack of consideration towards the guests. Disappointing!

My friend and I popped in to the very extensive and large bookstore and decided to pop in for a drink and treat. The hazelnut brownie was delicious and the drinks were tasty too.

A lot of people goes there to read books and do some work on their laptops. We did the same with my partner. We made sure we ordered coffees, teas, sandwiches etc but one waiter from the beginning was not really friendly and he was harassing all the people around who dared to sit little bit longer. He asked us to leave as well and I saw him doing it to other customers too. Young students at the table next to ours ran quickly to order something to keep the table. The atmosphere is tensed and you could feel that you are not welcome if you put your laptop/book on the table.

Barista was very standoffish and rude to myself and my wife. We ordered a couple of ice coffees, which he made without saying a word. Threw my receipt at me after I asked for it. Seemed pretty friendly with the pretty girls in front of me though - wonder why!

I went to the cafe this morning and was catching up on some work so pretty much was there the whole day. Kain and Christine were lovely to keep assisting me with drinks and food throughout the day. Rod on the other hand was VERY...

food choices are pleasant. Tea is very good. Customers are rude. The Laptop Brigade takes up too much room, too much space and too much time. DON'T SIT for over an hour and take up the space for three people. And, scowl when somebody wants...

Passive aggressive staff members who speak unprofessionally towards customers and go behind the counter and talk about customers. Very rude and no apologies given.

This Cozy Cafe is great for chilling out. They serve nice Espresso and Good Quality Earl Grey Tea. They serve decent bakeries as well.

Overpriced, £2.80 for a small can of Pellegrino lemon. £4 FOR a small almond tart, I mean small. Popular with,must be rich students. Could be quite nice without the constant late night music accompianment.

Popped in here as didn't have much time before the theatre and just needed a snack. Kids happy with choice of cakes: Chocolate cake, brownies and carrot cake were good at £4-5 a pop. Nice choice of expensive soft drinks but in London what do...

Good range of teas, coffees and pastries with usually at least one vegan option. Seating is comfortable and spacious although it can get busy at lunch times.

Disappointing experience. No indication with cakes about what was in them (allergies are no joke). Staff did not seem to know. Went to kitchen and came back with few choices (but not all when asked for more options). Why not put it on the cards??...

So good to have proper loose leaf tea in a nice pot rather than standard cheapo tea bag at London premium price.

I think you're coming here to feel cool drinking in a bookshop, not for the coffee. Boiling hot and pricey too.

Unfortunately, the service does not live up to the potential. Maybe they are just having a bad day, but they got every order wrong for everyone in the queue......that takes a special kind of focus! What crowned it was the fact that they tried to blame each individual customer. Wow! Coffee tasted ok.

In between shows so we popped in for a drink, ending up with a scone, jam and cream. Delicious! Nice surroundings and staff lovely.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Plenty of decent food options, though nothing amazing. Unfortunately, the pastries and cakes are mediocre and unhealthy.

Great location - 5th floor of Foyles bookshop and prices highly but reasonable. The only problem: spoons dirty and some glasses were dirty too. Service friendly though.

The food is very good, very tasty and filling, but for a pot of tea, a pink lemonade, a sausage roll and a chickrn foccacia £19.20. We will not be returning.

1 lasagne, 1 banana and 2 cans of coke =£16 First visit here. Not impressed as all tables were full.

good choice of food and coffee and a great place to sit after you've looked and bought some books. They do events as well

Very convenient for the Phoenix theatre and we had very good tasty snacks. It was busy and lots of people seemed to be sitting with their laptops and not eating. The tables are close together and we had to squeeze past people to get to our table but it felt lively and nice to have a browse among the books on the way in.

Great cafe on the top floor. Food different from the usual. We had toasties and rolls. Mine was a chicken Caesar roll which was delicious and I had home made lemonade. Not cheap but worth a viisit.

Fica no quinto andar da melhor livraria da Inglaterra,e complementa perfeitamente o programa ,compra de livros e comer .

Plenty of better coffee shops with a better selection. Staff with attitude! Only one gluten free option. Limited milk options. I guess the only reason for visiting is its inside the bookshop

チャリングクロスロード沿いの大きな書店Foylesの5階にあるカフェです。店頭にパンやケーキが並んでいるので、トレイに乗せて好きなものをとりながら会計まで移動して、最後に会計のところで飲み物を頼みます。カフェはローカルな人々でとても混んでいるので、席がうまく空けばラッキーだと思います。席をあらかじめ確保してから、食べ物を注文しました。パソコンを開けて仕事をしている人や、勉強をしている学生など、のんびりとお茶を楽しんでいる人が多いように思いました。AMEXは使えませんが、VISAはOKです。紅茶はリーフティーでポットサービスです。

Pub lunches are great but heavy. We wanted a lighter lunch before going to an afternoon play. You order cafeteria style then scramble to find a table. We shared with a singe and then after he left, shared with a pair. Our skewer of broiled chicken with a salad was the perfect amount of food and yummy. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the prices reasonable.

Top floor of Foyles is this busy cafe. Good selection of sweet and savory, even though it was end of day. Fresh muffin was tasty and coffee was good. Bit cramped but the atmosphere was lovely, sense that you were surrounded by book lovers as well as book.

Nice little cafe I had a coffee and a pastry. Reasonably priced. Awaited around 15 minutes for a table

El café tiene un ambiente académico, literario y agradable, como podría esperarse de un café en una librería. La comida es sana y sana. Sin embargo, es muy difícil encontrar un asiento los domingos ya que todos los asientos parecen ser ocupados por personas que no son clientes que realizan una investigación "importante" en sus computadoras portátiles. Muchos de ellos tienen audífonos que les dan una excusa para fingir que no han escuchado sus preguntas preguntando si el asiento al lado de ellos realmente está ocupado o simplemente se está utilizando como depósito de todas sus cosas. Los observadores cuidadosos notarán que muchos de estos "investigadores" recuperarán de forma ocasional y furtiva pequeñas parcelas de alimentos que han traído para sostenerse durante sus largas horas de ocupación, sin tener que comprar nada en la cafetería o librería.

Cela fait partie des charmes des visites dans cette librairie que de pouvoir s'interrompre et se poser avec boissons et des gâteaux (de bonne qualité du reste) et de lire un peu les ouvrages que l'on a consultés en rayon. Un bonne endroit également pour un conjoint ou un ami fatigué, quand l'autre continue ses courses en rayon.

Fui a la cafetería de Foyles a comprar un café y algo de comer. . . . El hombre que me estaba sirviendo me preguntó si me gustaría algo más, dije que me gustaría un rollo. . . . . Luego me dio la espalda y me preparó el café. Fui a ver lo que se ofrecía, no hizo contacto visual, así que le pregunté a la señora que estaba detrás del mostrador, que estaba sacando los rollos, qué había en los rollos, ella dijo de una manera muy poco profesional y grosera a un cliente que paga que le doy 5 minutos. . . . Luego volví al cajero que claramente había olvidado su oferta anterior y me quedé allí con un espacio en blanco, muerto detrás de los ojos que miran su rostro. . . . Yo sugeriría Foyles café invertir en algún entrenamiento de servicio al cliente. . . . No volveré

Went there to buy a book and then discovered this very comfy cafe on the fifth floor, they make very good coffees and fresh salads

Der Kaffee war gut und die angebotenen Kuchen/Speisen vielfältig. Es war leider sehr voll und eine lange Schlange vor den Toiletten

Este café está en el quinto piso. . Siempre repleto de millennials turísticos e inútiles y de hipsters. . . muy mal ambiente no hay lugar para moverse y siempre colas. . . es horrible . . No voy a volver allí. . . Tomé una mesa y más gente quería sentarse conmigo. . . ¿Qué pasa con esta gente hoy en día? ? ? Inútil todos sus clientes. . .

Esta es una cafetería que solo califica como muy buena: la experiencia difiere según la hora del día. Temprano en el día lo califica altamente. Pero a medida que los asientos se llenan de personas que toman tazas de café vacías, usan audífonos y trabajan en sus computadoras, se vuelve menos una cafetería y más una biblioteca desordenada. En esta visita llegamos a la hora del almuerzo. Solo alrededor de un tercio de las personas en lo que realmente es un café de buen tamaño estaban realmente allí para almorzar, otras trabajaban en las mesas de café, todas ellas tomadas. Esto significaba que había muy poca rotación de mesas y bastante espera. Al final pudimos sentarnos en una mesa pequeña con otro par de personas que estaban allí para almorzar y que estábamos felices de compartir. Las opciones de comida se muestran atractivamente en el mostrador; una vez más, es mejor que más tarde en el día, algunas cosas pueden secarse. El personal detrás del mostrador era agradable y servicial. Cuando más tarde le preguntamos a un miembro del personal que estaba limpiando la mesa junto a nosotros cómo podíamos obtener un vaso de agua, ella nos dijo que tendríamos que alinearnos nuevamente y preguntar a "uno de mis colegas en el mostrador". La experiencia en general fue sólo una

It’s expensive but v tasty food. Good selection of drinks, cakes and savoury choices. Busy and you may need to wait for a table but I had a lovely sandwich with salad for £5.75 which I thought good value. Very pleasant place for lunch.

At the moment the cafe is insisting on playing very loud South American music all day. Its always a struggle to find somewhere to sit, suggest they get rid of the pretentious art that no one looks at and put some more tables in.

When you pay £7.50 for tea and cake, you might hope that your table would be cleared, but no. Instead, you get a shrug and a smelly wet rag so you can do it yourself. The tea wasn't bad, the food was good, the cafe relaxed and pleasant. But when I asked to see the manager, they said she wasn't there, and she didn't seem to be interested enough in the customers to come and find me, if ever she returned.

The coffee was fine and the cakes looked great, however there was nowhere to sit. It seemed that all the world and his wife were there using the free wifi and staying hours. No complaint about this, but they need to get more churn

人は多いですが、休憩するにはちょうどいいです。クロワッサンは普通ですが、アップルジュースが美味しかったです。JCBカードが使えました。

This cafe might not sell the best coffee or pastries in town, but being based in one of London’s largest bookshops it’s a great place to delve into a book or two (they are scattered around the cafe on tables and trolleys).

Ya que visitar Londres regularmente, amigos del continente a menudo me preguntan donde comer comida "englsh insinuando que "debe evitarse. Bien, ya que desde la tienda dash record para librería de entrevista cita a música de concierto, hay poco tiempo para sentarse para el almuerzo o la cena, así extendida que o fis y patatas fritas en un pub decente o un snack en mi librería favorita de todos los tiempos: la cafetería en Foyles. Todo lo que he oído sobre comida inglesa se contradice aquí. Tienen sándwiches, quiches, tartas agradable de combinaciones sorprendentes. Productos, fresca, sabrosa. Bien, no son baratos y debes evitar las horas punta. Es principalmente a pequeños que comer y surf (en la red! Simultáneamente, así que) se llena bastante a veces. También he notado que algunos bocadillos están muy bien en teoría, pero casi imposible comer correctamente como el pan va suave por la coberturas, etc. Además, muchas capas (carne, verduras, coberturas. . . Efectúe las gomas y) si muerde un poco difícil. Está de moda y no exactamente barato - 5 libras sólo te dan un sándwich más simple. Mi consejo sería: ir allí cuando está más tranquila, regálese un libro quieres navegar y tienen un sandwich no demasiado complejo o quiche. Ah, y el pastel con un gran café con leche. El agua del grifo es gratis. Veo como una experiencia relacionada con libros, no como un lugar para un almuerzo rápido (hay mucho de estos por la calle).

Came here to meet a friend after buying books in the amazing bookshop. Staff ok, coffee ok - no more. Food congealing on the counter looked very missable and very expensive for what it was. Plenty of alternative venues within 100 yards.

Me encanta una librería con un café. Librería Foyles es un increíble y, apropiadamente, tiene un café bastante bueno. El café era absolutamente perfecto, había un montón de asientos, y el muchacho que me atendió fue muy amable y servicial. Sábado y mi café sobre un libro. Simplemente precioso. Nos hubiera encantado comido cualquiera de los pasteles, todo parecía de fiar (¡.

Esta es una increíble librería y la cuarta vez que he visitado en mis viajes a Londres, sin embargo esta es la primera vez que intenté usar el café. Primera vista de la cafetería es que parece increíble hasta que necesite un asiento y descubrir que hay más de 30 personas en ordenadores portátiles, rodeado por libros y el eterno café, muchos ocupando mesas para 4. Había 3 de nosotros y a pesar de casi 30 minutos esperando no fueron exitosas y decidimos ir a otro lugar. No eran las únicas familias para hacer esto. Mientras que no se prevea que debe mover a la gente en, me pregunto si están perdiendo negocios. No estoy seguro de qué es la respuesta a esto, la comida parece genial y esperamos algún día para probarlo.

We stopped here to grab a quick snack and to get warm. Great scones and other baked goods. Really good coffee. The portions were good and good value for the money.

We went on a cold but bright february day and found the food was of good quality and reasonably priced. Crowded but that was no problem

We try to make it to Foyles up Charing Cross road whenever we travel up to London. My wife for a French language novel, myself on the latest occasion for a new mid sized French dictionary. The Cafe at Foyles is a real tempting place to be. I like the way the cakes and muffins are heaped temptingly. The seating has a slightly crowded and confused look, but this chaos blends well with the more conformed multi floored endless array of neat bookshelves. Here's one slight problem. I queued for the men's toilet cubicle just passed the cafe counter, and the queue didn't move. We could plainly hear the person in the cubicle turning the pages of a book. Would you purchase this toilet used book after the (young man) had finished with it?

A welcoming open layout with interesting cacti-centric decor, a superb cake selection and pleasant clientele. Unfortunately this was let down by the many uncleared table tops and somewhat uncomfortable seating (very tricky to manoever oneself onto/off the bench when others are sitting along it -...

Stumbled across this while looking for coffee and because the choices were so good, we had brunch. A choice of 3 quiches and salads and also a some cooked choices available. Very nice coffee and lots of delicious pastries. Will be back here as its a great location also

It's just so nice popping in to Foyles, browsing the books and having a nice sit down in the cafe. Lovely range of teas!

Had done a lot of walking round and then chosen my books at Foyles,so got the lift up to the 6th floor and had a large Latte.Didnt have anything to eat,though quite a bit of it looked tempting but the portion sizes seemed small for the price.

A cafe above a bookshop. It's genius. This place is always buzzy, and very single person friendly They have locally sourced produce, and plenty of it (Jams made in Bermondsey? Amazing). Daily specials and accompanying choices of salads. Always a huge selection of cake too. It's great for people watching. You just pitch up and pick your spot, and with free WiFi, it's difficult not to spend the whole day here. Only 4 stars because their Hot Chocolate is usually lukewarm, and one time I asked for a large bottle of mineral water, got given a small one, then when I asked for a large one got a funny look. Apparently my hydration is suspect...

Un posto molto British, davvero piacevole e accogliente . Caffè americano ed espresso buoni, dolci non provati ma di aspetto molto accattivante . Panorama tipicamente inglese dalle ampie vetrate. Da tenere come riferimento costante a Londra !

Visiting after a few years away. Great scone with clotted cream & raspberry jam + cappuccino. Nice atmosphere low key jazz in the background. Nice laid back feel an oasis try it

Gran lugar para disfrutar de una taza cuando necesitas un descanso mirando cuál de los grandes libros para comprar.

Vine aquí para una taza de té y un pastel, la cafetería está en la planta superior, con una galería. Es muy concurrido, con un montón de gente en sus laptops de espacio de trabajo y mesa. Sólo hay dos miembros del personal así las cosas estaban un poco lentos, servir y limpiar. Relación calidad-precio un poco caro para lo que te dan. Deshacerse de la galería y poner en más mesas, claramente es la suficiente para justificar la expansión.

Mi familia asistieron a la librería el sábado 22 de julio, haber comprado y miramos libros en varias plantas mi marido y nuestro primo aún estaba examinando. Así que yo y nuestra hija organizó a su y nuestro primo en la cafetería de la planta 5ª. El café estaba bastante concurrida y logramos encontrar un compartir mesa con otras 2 personas. En espera unos minutos, un hombre grosero nos pidió que mover o comprar comida me explicó que estábamos esperando para mi marido, entonces, él respondió "Estoy aquí para hacer dinero y gire las mesas". No me podía creer lo que había oído. Mi hija y yo nos levantamos y nos fuimos, en dejar que le dijeron que hay una cosa llamada atención al cliente y no es acerca de dinero. Que nos fuimos a otro lado y gastamos nuestro dinero. Sin embargo, la librería es muy bueno, con un personal servicial. Se evitará el cafe en el futuro y voy a hacer una queja formal.

The best bookshop in town. Attentive staff. Restaurant has great breakfasts and lunch. Coffee is a bit pricey. Tea - good value since it's a pot with at least two large cups worth. A favourite respite. It's become a regular.

We needed to fit in lunch in between arriving in London and going to the theatre in Tottenham Court Road. Remembered Foyles. The food is that bit different and interesting and definitely tasty. Cost for central London is reasonable. Seating at long trestles is different but it works.

By central London standards the cafe at Foyles certainly isn't expensive. It isn't cheap either, but in my opinion pitched about right. Lunch time can be a little busy so the communal tables are normally full. If you don't want to share with other patrons then perhaps this isn't the place for you. The food is about healthy light bites as well as a selection of cakes and pastries. Of course the other attraction is that it's in the legendary Foyles bookshop. Sadly the current incarnation isn't as charming as its previous incarnation, however, it is certainly fit for the 21st century and worth a couple of hours browsing.

Being limited for time, we decided to have lunch in Foyles after purchasing a few books. We remember the Borders book cafes of the past and they were not great. Foyles is nothing like Borders. It was fantastic. The food was fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. They cater for many diet intolerance. I have a vegetarian brioche roll and a fruit tart. Both were flavoursome and not expensive. A most pleasurable lunch. Thank you

Rather tucked away on the 5th floor, the cafe at Foyle's makes a thing of local providers of food and drink, and feels like a place where the people who run it care about the food, which is fresh and delicious. My friend loved her soup, and I had an excellent sausage roll. The cakes looked great, and home-made, and worth a return visit to sample. The bookshop is a pleasure to browse in, and the cafe rounds off the experience. When I'm next in London, I'll certainly return.

Cafe on the 5th floor was quite a good size, and had good food and drink options on offer. However, service was extremely slow, and the cafe allows people to sit and play on their laptops so there is often no place to sit for people who actually want to use the space as a cafe.

Really private cafe away from the shelves with great coffee and delicious scones. The aesthetic is really cute too. Very rustic, and there's a cute little art gallery that's part of the cafe.

it is a coffee in a bookstoreto rest and assess the choices madesnothing specialfew tables, so hard to find where to seat

I love Foyle's (the bookshop). The cafe, however, is perennially crowded (but not noisy), as expensive as most central London cafes and, unfortunately, not really good. Their Chai Latte is without foam and tasteless, their cakes look great but seem stale and only taste of sugar.

Great Service with a smile which counts for a lot!!! Lovely food (too full from lunch to try - but that Lemon and Coconut slice - well I will be back to try that!) and drinks were fantastic. An overall enjoyable experience.

This is a good place for friends get together, for work, and for study. I had lunch here with a friend and had ordered beef with rice. The service was great and the staffs were friendly. The price was fair. It was a pity that the rice was not very well cooked and was hard to chew.

Var här med mina 80+ föräldrar under en runda med bokköp. Borden med långbänkar var lite bökiga att klättra in o ut ifrån och det var lite skolmatsal över ljudnivå och aktivitet. Vissa satt förvisso och läste eller pluggade också. Fikat var ordinärt med priser i överkant. Ändå skönt att kunna fika på plats om man vill gå runt länge i bokhandeln.

本屋さんの5階にあるカフェです。平日の15:30頃行きましたが満席で少し待ちました。カウンターには5.6種類のケーキ、ペイストリー、惣菜も並んでいてどれもおいしそうでした。私はキャロットケーキとラテをオーダー。ケーキの上に乗っているチーズのクリームが、甘さ控えめのケーキにとてもマッチしていました。ラテも美味しかった。

We went for coffee and a catch up after lunch at the Southbank earlier. With a wonderful selection of fresh food and cakes etc and very low level jazz music we had a great relaxing afternoon there. It's really buzzy and busy and yet not too loud. Highly recommend.

Too expensive at over £17 for a sandwich, bowl of soup, two drinks and a packet of crisps. Additionally, seating is always a problem here and was not helped by a rogue tray left on the floor which almost tripped me up.

I often visit the Foyles cafe whether shopping in Foyles or not as the food is so good. A delicious array of lunch dishes from homemade soup to quiches & sandwiches all beautifully prepared on site. Coffee & cakes delicous to. Only downside is it's so good it gets very crowded so be prepared to share a table with students & their laptops!Would definitely recommend.

An excellent book shop and when had enough then make your way to the cafe by the lift. Excellent location, service and choice of food and snacks. Worth a visit.

The cafe itself is has a lovely atmosphere with books, light from the windows or big tables to share. Coffee is very good and tea is OK too. If you want something with your drink, there's plenty to choose from unless you need gluten / dairy-free / avoiding fructose. Then you're stuck with nothing (there's a cake labelled gluten free but it's stored inappropriately so it's as if it wasn't suitable). I'm amazed at such schoolboy error at this day and age.

Foyles has recused the bookFabulous bookshopFriendly staffCafe - great menuExcellent coffeeThere is however a problem It's so popular that they have run out of spaceThe two cover tables are really for intimate couplesNot sure how they might solve the problem

This is a great place to sit and look through your purchases-while sipping a coffee and nibbling on something delicious. It has a lot of light too and a pleasant skylight above. The only draw back is that the toilets are very small with only one sit down toilet and they do not appear to have considered the volume of people who would pass through their doors! This needs improvement!

Although the new Foyles café – new to me – has lost the rather intense bookshop atmosphere it had on the old site it is a vast improvement in almost every way. It is a large open space which feels much cleaner and fresher than in former days with plenty of seating and a great deal of light to accompany an exciting exhibition space. (There is additional subdued seating, quieter, almost library like, on the mezzanine above). Despite having a much larger service area the queue that forms at busy times means that hot food bought at the beginning of the queue can be considerably cooler by the time your drink is made and you have found a table. I felt a moment of nostalgia not being able to sit at a window overlooking Charring Cross Road, but I thought the food was good, very reasonably priced and much better presented. Be prepared to be surrounded by people using computers rather than reading books!

I had a hot lunch, rice with meatballs in tomato sauce, after browsing the bookstore. This whole building has been so beautifully refurbished! Calm and tasteful décor and fair prices. Coffee is also good!I only hope they will finish/open the terrace next year!

Relaxed atmosphere, always friendly and helpful staff, home made fresh and tasty foodPerfect place for relaxing, studying, reading or working

El nuevo local de la librería Foyles, librería mítica de la ciudad, es aún mejor que el antiguo. La cafetería está perfectamente integrada en la tienda, invita a entrar y buscar un sitio donde alejarse del barullo de la gran ciudad, aunque curiosamente está en pleno corazón de Londres. Bohemia y sofisticada. Buenos tés y bollería.
