The Espresso Room in Camden

Después de deambular buscando el desayuno evitando las cadenas, tropecé con The Espresso Room, un tazón de desayuno perfecto y encantador de coco y bayas y un café con leche de remolacha. sentado afuera al sol Servicio amable y medio precio inesperado ya que se había olvidado de la promoción. Regresará cuando esté en la zona, ya que las cervezas artesanales parecen interesantes.

お昼の便で帰国、という朝に伺いました。朝食メニューが充実しており、ベネディクトをいただきました。ベーコンがなぜか甘くてちょっと想像と違いましたが、コーヒーは美味しかったです。

Trabajo cerca y de vez en cuando pienso que debería apoyar a las empresas locales comprando mi café o un bocado rápido en la habitación Espresso. Sin embargo, cada vez son decepcionantes. Son lentos para servir y los precios no son exactamente bajos. No almacenan leche de soja en absoluto y solo escuchan lo que quieren del pedido que usted hace. Mi impresión es que se trata de ellos mismos, más que del cliente. Es hora de entender a sus muchachos del mercado.

Si va a tomar un café expreso, no se detenga en la sala de "café expreso", fue un café muy malo. No sé sobre la comida, no comí allí. Cambie el espresso por favor o al menos cambie el nombre. Gracias.

Fermata per una pausa veloce, mi sono lasciata tentare dal piatto del Brunch completo. Davvero ottimo. Non lontano dal British Museum, cercavo qualcosa di tipico e questo posto (se anche ha una location moderna) mi ha soddisfatto in pieno con il suo menù! Consigliato

Ordered a decaf coffee. Was shocked to discover there was a £0.50 surcharge. The coffee was lovely but, to my mind, charging £0.50 more for decaf than regular is a rip off. When I asked the server why decaf was so much more expensive - in my case £3.00 rather than £2.50, an increase of 20% - he replied that he didn't have a clue! Full marks for honesty, I guess.

Went two days in a row and on day two they remembered me like a local. I really enjoyed the savory breakfast items and the bottled smoothies were perfect for me...plus the coffee was great.

I found the Espresso Room in a state of desperation after having postponed my afternoon coffee for the sake of being able to see the John Soane’s Museum before closing time. I just had an Americano and a sponge cup, but I must point out that this was by far the best coffee I had in six days in London. Quite simply a perfect cup of coffee with the right acidity, with some notes of dark berries to balance it up. The cake was delicious too. The place is rather funny with no seating in the vicinity of the counter, but there is plenty of room to sit elsewhere.

Homemade granola bars, cookies, drink, coffee, etc. Quick service, good selction of drinks, yougurt, sandwiches and the granola bars are to die for.

Had "coffee" here for a business networking meeting. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of space. Good choice of food and drink.

When you're looking for a really nice cake and a well made coffee this is the place to pop in for a sit down coffee or a take away if you're short on time. Big queues at lunch time for those who know it.

Dropped by here several times during my recent visit to London. Very nice service, great coffee and croissants and two nice spacious rooms to have them in.

Nice place to have a nice hot drink in a really cold day. Good to chat, study or just read a book. Very nice.

Really recommend getting involved with the hot chocolate advent calendar. Lunch is really healthy (if you can stay away from the amazing looking cakes) and there's just the right amount of choice. It's a great place to sit and get some work done if you don't mind background noise.

How lucky was I to find a great coffee shop, right outside my holiday apartment. The coffee was good and if I’d been starving longer would have got fat eating the sausage buns for breakfast. There’s healthier options, with a wide choice and a menu board for brunch. Oh yes a tasty choice of cakes - again one of my food weaknesses

stopped here twice on our visit to London in June. It was near our cafe and they had good coffee and lots of breakfast choices and pastries to choose from. Good service too - thank you!

This could have been such a positive review, but sadly the River Cafe has some major negatives that i feel obliged to write. First is the crazy system they use to order your coffee. They only have employed one barista who obviously when its busy, will be overwhelmed with orders and be prepared to wait and wait! Then when you finally get your coffee ( yes its quite good) its generally "luke warm" . And now comes the challenge.. You want to sit down and relax and start the day. You need to navigate, carrying your coffee (i only have it in a porcelain cup) down some stairs, then up some stairs, and then find a seat, And the chairs? OMG. They must have been picked up from some throwaway recycle place.. Half a broken, all the rest are like your school chairs, each one impossible to sit on for more than 2 minutes. And then finally, should you be bold enough to try their cakes, dont bother! They are consistently awful. The banana / walnut cake, is soggy and filled with cinnamon to disguise any semblance of tatse. Yup, you can see from this rather longer than required review that I'm not the happiest customer from this place. Time to seek others

Hidden behind the old buildings of Kings road is this little gem- they have homemade baked produce, sandwiches on sour dough and rye bread, bircher musli (homemade) and a great selection of brunch dishes available. They have a seating area downstairs. It get's busy around...

Not sure why but this place doesn't quite do it for me. It looks the part, independent bakery and cafe serving the kind of cakes , quiches, etc you would expect from a new wave cafe in London. However, have been there twice and both...

I have been using the Fleet Kitchen, on Tavistock Square, most days for the past four months. The baking is a tad pricey, but amazing. The salads are always a bit "funky", with an unusual ingredient most days, but the frittatas are usually excellent too,...

Love this bakery, close enough to the British Museum to come out of and have lunch here. Had scrambled eggs on toast as brunch was being served on the Sunday we visited. Couldn't resist the carrot cake which was excellent.

You gotta visit here and try making choices of what pastries, what cake, what sandwich, or what cookie would you like to try with one of a kindish Cup of Coffee on A daily Basis. The cakes are well made, fully - bodied, and especially...

We stayed near this bakery during our time in London and we loved it! Had breakfast here every day. The staff are friendly and the food tasty!

This is close to Holborn station. A fantastic place to eat in or take out breakfast lunch or snack. Superb coffee. I treat myself to the breakfast pot. Fresh fruit Greek yoghurt Bircher muesli and Berry fruit compote. Good selection of pastries and cakes sandwiches...

Recommended by a colleague, it turned out to be quite crowded even on a mild Friday lunch. (Bear in mind there are tables in the basement so don't be turned off by the full tables upstairs.) Main courses of the day were: quiche with courgette&(alleged)...

Popular, cool café on the corner of Lincoln's Inn Fields offering a range of teas and Monmouth-brewed coffee. Very tasty breakfasts including their healthy breakfast bowl of fruit, muesli and yoghurt. Excellent scrambled eggs ( one of the very few places I've eaten in that...

Studying at LSE for half a year, this place became a refuge from academia. They serve healthy salads, soups, quiche and frittata, as well as a range of sandwiches to take away, delicious cakes (raspberry crumble cake - so heavy, so many calories, but soooo...

The title says it all. I wish I could go back here. It was the best cup of coffee I ever had in my life. Not acidic ... so smooth and rich.

Stumbled across the bakery by accident and had a wonderful lunch, slightly tucked away from the buzz of Holborn. The quiche was delicoius and so were the salads, paired with very friendly service - a winner! Slightly on the pricey side (7 GBP something for...

We stumbled on this cafe on the way back from the Sir John Soane museum. Quite a studenty atmosphere, which is no bad thing. The quality of what is on offer here is very good, with big, good value portions. The breakfast pot is particularly...

Came here for lunch with my parents - service was disorganised and new customers were being served/orders taken before other customers had paid which caused confusion. Whilst trying to pay using contactless for my order the wait staff started serving the person behind me and...

I never write bad reviews but this was a very unpleasant experience. The breakfast was terrible probably the worst I ve had in a long time : paper from prepackaging around bacon found on plate, the bacon very very dry, bread was very stale (...

The wait here is ridiculous - they really need to work on their systems! This is SO disappointing as the coffee is GREAT!

We saw this place on Saturday afternoon on our way to visit the Sir John Soane's Museum, round the corner in Lincoln's inn Fields. it looked inviting and friendly. We popped in after our visit to the museum. Great lunch, decent portions and very high...

This place is only recommended if you are looking for an hipster vibe, regardless of food and drinks. Cakes are basically butter bricks, and wildly overpriced. Salads and quiches are just ok. But the chief reason why they are known among local workers is that...

The Fleet River is handy for my university so I've been a few times for lunch or a coffee with friends. It's got a charming atmosphere, lots of communal tables, a huge range of tea (which is excellent value as it comes in a pot...

I was in London for a meeting and pop in for lunch with a friend, food was good and reasonably priced, service was friendly but a bit slow, I guebe expected..

My friend and I wanted somewhere for a nice glass of wine, on a nice street sitting in the afternoon sunshine. This was really lovely, small but lovely selection of artisan and organic wines, all selected from small producers, we didn’t eat but all the...

Second time I've visited whilst working nearby, deliberately choosing an independent rather than the plethora of Costa, Nero and Cafe Rouge chains nearby. Painfully slow service whilst ordering only to be told items on board and menu 'Not ready yet'. Ordering is slow and chaotic,...

Visited this establishment for breakfast and was disappointed. Poached egg on toast were extremely dry with no butter on toast and the Full English breakfast wasn't full at all The portion size was minute. Not good value for money either, and the service was so...

Although the coffee was great, eventually, it was as if none of the staff had ever worked in a coffee shop before. Or indeed had worked with other people before. In fact, as if they had never encountered another human being before. It was just...

great lucnhes, excellent tea, fantastic cakes. this time just nipped in for quick tea and cake, but the service always friendly and to the point. free wifi

Friendly, good value alternative to hotel breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. Generous portions, scrambled eggs to die for. I'll be back!

First time here for lunch, won't be the last. Good portion sizes and reasonable pricing. Busy, but many people taking away. A good find.

Great quality food - fresh ingredients, healthy, quick service. Seating area includes communal tables - which is fine. Great coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. Location is away fork the main roads at the entrance to Lincoln Inn Fields.

Good cafe. Limited menu options. Staff at register (American or Canadian) seemed a bit annoyed that we took a while to order since we were waiting for friends. How about we just stand to the side and wait for them, and we'll let you know...

I was here for lunch and the food was nutritious and tasty. I would have liked some salt and pepper though! I'm sure there must be some somewhere but I only just about found the wooden cutlery and after finally bagging a lone seat wedged...

This coffee shop is nice but it has a small seating area inside with few communal tables. The coffee is lovely and the cakes are tasty.

I stopped in here a few times when I was staying nearby on vacation. The service can be a little slow and crowded at lunch, but they have good coffee and food at pretty reasonable prices. I'm not a particularly healthy person, but I had...

I used to eat lunch here almost every day because it was great for gluten free and veggie diets. But a few months ago they started adding meat most days to the gluten free options and often having no gluten free salad options. I found...

The food and coffee here are good, but the service last week when i went was utterly terrible. They had 6 people serving (!) on the top floor where the shop is (all falling over each other), and they still couldn't serve people in the...

Been twice now for the full english breakfast. Really well cooked not greasy or fatty but very filling. Choice of poached or scrambled eggs which helps. Just tucked round the corner from Holborn Tube but nice and quiet and very reasonably priced for London. I...

Was walking pass Holborn and saw this tiny place, the visit has paid off for sure! The cake was moist and not too greasy and the flavour of the banana is very dominating, there's also the subtle sweet taste of coconut flakes in there with...

I go to the fleet river bakery regularly to get take away lunch, because it is right next to my university. They have very good wraps, salads, sandwiches, panini and changing specials. Try to avoid the time between 12 and 1 as it gets very...

One of my favourite cafe in the heart of London. Given it's above-the-average prices, this is a place I go when I am in need for a meal that will boost me on an emotional and physical level - all of their lunch options are...

Hi, I went to this place about a year ago when two ladies served and it was expensive but good. Went on Sunday 6th Dec and was looking forward to it... wish I hadn't bothered. Service was really poor (eg no cutlery with food and...

Encouragingly busy, but good friendly service and excellent breakfast (recommend Spanish toast - good value too). Characterful place in a good location - knocks spots off the [inter]national chains.

Been here a couple times now. Depending on time of day there's a bit of choreography involved in finding a seat (do that first), placing your order at one order and paying for it, and picking up your coffee at another counter (or they can...

I came to the Fleet River Bakery as I wanted to avoid the usual chain places that surround Holborn tube station. The fact that I'm writing this review while sitting in the Starbucks just down the road is testament to the quality of my experience...

I've been to the Fleet River Bakery before and really enjoy the coffee and the atmosphere. But I wouldn't recommend it if you want the staff to talk to you or help you in any way. It was fairly clear the person taking my order...

I went there for a family breakfast. Quality of food was fair but quite expensive for a self service. Ladies at the front desk are not very pleasant and forgot to smile. Minimum service to clean and reset the tables in between customers is not...

Australians are famously picky about their coffee, but FRB always delivers a delicious cup. Great food too - fresh, interesting and always different.

I've visited Fleet River a number of times over the years. The service has always been average at best but the food was good so I put up with it. However, after a recent visit I have to agree with the numerous negative comments about...

Found out about Fleet River after a quick scan of the Internet brought up the Evening Standard's top 50 bakeries - if Fleet River sets the bar, I can't wait to try the other 45! I was surprised because initially it seems really small. A...

Had lunch there on a day out with colleagues!! It's like a little gem. Everything is fresh and staff are extremely attentive to customers. Their salads area amazing!! Want you to be eating healthy all the time!!

This place is great, delicious cake and frittata, only thing was they had only 2 types of salad by 2pm, and one salad was just leaves and a bit of feta. Still the food was good and plenty of space to sit.

I would happily come back here for a coffee and food. The prices are reasonable and the staff were very friendly. Best bit was the massive amount of seating (underground dinning room as well as ground level) and there are plenty of power points, so...

I've been a regular to Fleet River Bakery since they opened on Lincoln's Inn Fields and until I left London. The lunches are super popular with those who work in the area - there's usually a massive queue outside. And for a good reason! The...

I love their savoury stuff quiche , frittata , toasties everything. Its expensive. But worth it! There giant scones are absolutely mouth watering. Service is a bit slow though.

Every time I have been it has been very busy. Check out all the seating areas if you are looking for people. Coffee good.

It's an attractive little shopfront with a few outdoor tables. Like many central London establishments, the "littleness" is deceptive, there is another space inside at the same level and a deep cosy basement. There are lots of fresh baked goods on offer and a fresh...

After a walk around the park it seems churlish not to stop and recover at the nearby Fleet River Bakery, its just the place for a proper coffee and a sausage sandwich. And they are very happy to top-up the dog's water bowl. Fantastic

To start with, the staff are amazing! Joey is really helpful and makes amazing coffee :) I have been coming here for three years since it is right next to my university campus. The coffee is great and their pastries and cakes are delicious. I...

It’s always a pleasure and a relief visiting this lovely café, either for breakfast, a coffee break or a tasty snack. A pleasure, because of the relaxed, unpretended atmosphere with the friendly service and the wonderful, homemade delicacies. And a relief, because even though you...

Stopped here for a quick lunch in the middle of a day of sightseeing.Staff were very welcoming despite queues out of the door, and we were served quickly and efficiently.Interesting and healthy choices on the menu and three large salads with our choice of maincourse....

Excellent food, particularly the bacon bagel. Toilets should be upgraded though as they were pretty run down and smelled weird.

If you read the who's who of Cafe's, FRB is generally always listed. It's an unassuming small cafe located at the back of Holborn tube station just near Lincoln's Inn Fields. As far as gourmet cafe's go, FRB has gone for the shabby chic, minimalistic...

I love lincolns inn fields and this is one of my favourite cafes. Care taken over the coffee and nice food. Tables outside on a nice day complete it. Regular spot

Fleet River Bakery is still a great spot for breakfast/brunch...terrific staff, food and vibe. We ate here every day while staying in the area. We rented a room above two years ago while visiting London and it became one of our all-time favorites. Too bad...

Lucy & Ashleigh and Team are so lovely and accommodating. We had a reservation for a large booking for a friend's baby shower. It was a bit of an ask on a sunday afternoon hogging two large tables for a couple of hours but it...

Really friendly and accommodating venue. (It was hard to find a venue for our booking that didnt require everyone to spend over £20 on a cream tea!) Despite being very busy on the day our party was well looked after and we were able to...

This place seems to be trading on its reputation and the quality of food is suffering. I ordered a cheese and roasted veg toastie which left a lot to be desired. The bread was stale and there wasn't much filling. Pretty disappointed given it wasn't...

Perhaps our expectations were a bit high as we were so excited to visit Fleet River Bakery. We were originally supposed to stay here but they had to cancel our reservation due to changes in licensing. We still wanted to eat here but the service...

I had walked past many times because of the queues but ventured in the other day and was pleasantly surprised. Although the menu was not extensive I had a good choice of vegan salads including tasty dishes with fresh coconut and pineapple and green lentils....

I'm really sad to read the poor reviews of Fleet River. I must say that over the years that I stayed in the rooms upstairs, that are sadly no longer available, I enjoyed delicious breakfasts downstairs. I had noticed that the prices had risen substantially...

My partner and I went to Fleet River Bakery today after we'd read that the scones were super tasty and I'm afraid I was very disappointed. The scones were ok (although lacking jam) but the service was dismal. The table we were sitting at wasn't...

This place needs a visit from the Food Safety Department, every surface is dirty and grimy, especially around the area where the sandwiches are stored and the coffee area, all the walls and tiles are disgustingly dirty. I was meeting a friend so had to...

I really want to like Fleet River, but having paid over £12 for a flat white, a tea, a chocolate brownie and a scone with cream and jam, I just think their pricing is out of control. I was mulling over the total as I...

Popped in here after reading reviews as was in the area. Did not fancy the standard hotel breakfast so opted for this alternative. Breakfast was very good, well made and presented. Staff were helpful and attentive. Will come again if in the area.

Fleet River was recommended to me as a super place to go and work. Neat, tidy place close to Holborn tube. Big wide wooden tables, friendly staff. But, the wifi wouldn't work on either the free network or the private one - and there wasn't...

I went there for a breakfast on sunday morning. The staff was very welcoming and I had a tasty coffee with a yogurt and granola and a piece of cake. Really enjoyed this and I will definitely come back for a lunch. It is worth...

I passed this place a while ago thinking it looked lovely and made a mental note to return. I did, on a Friday lunchtime. It wasn't clear whether the queue was for take-away only as I noticed there was a seating area downstairs. To find...

My morning coffee on the way to work, lovely staff, great coffee, and if you have time to park up then it's a pleasant spot not far from busy Kingsway. Definitely recommend, even if there's a long queue it is worth the wait.

Fleet River Bakery is quite close to LSE, and still gets eduroam wifi, so expect quite a few students there during weekdays. I don't mind though, because I'm one of these students! Since it's a bakery, the cakes and brownies are amazing, but I came...

At the moment the shop is running a hot chocolate festival where they combine different flavours with hot chocolate which sounds like an interesting idea. However the hot chocolate is lukewarm when you receive it. Also the combination of the flavours does not work properly;...

The rooms are quite atmospheric as well, and service is pleasant. My only fault, and I am afraid one that will stop me having breakfast here is the porridge. Made with water (unusual in London these days), and basically a solid lump at 7:30am. Go...

Good choice of food and very tasty. Staff were friendly and accommodating, the queues didn't seem to get to them even though there weren't many staff to handle to amount of people waiting. I had the buckwheat pancake and my friend had sourdough with egg,...

We were going to have lunch here but decided against it as there wasn't much choice for veggies on that day, it was basically soup, salad or soggy looking vegan wraps at £5 a pop, so we went elsewhere but came back for coffee and...

Really excellent coffee. I stopped by as I had heard that the coffee was first-class - it is! Their website says that they source beans from my favourite coffee shop - Monmouth Street.

From the outside it looks really nice, but once inside they were out of cups, which was not a major issue but in the morning?? the tables were filthy and plates lay around with partially eaten food. The sandwich I ordered came quickly and the...
