The Table Cafe in Southwark

Excellent, quick and efficient service. Decent value for tasty food. Bustling and convivial spot. We all had different requirements for the cooking of our eggs and they all came out perfectly.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit here. You must book as very busy! The brunches are delicious. The gluten free waffle is amazing - so tasty. There is outside space with heaters and inside space. We had table for 1.5 hours. Great atmosphere. Will go back!!!

Best brunch spot! So many great options and very nice staff

Very poor. Couldn’t hear the person opposite me talking because they were dragging (yes dragging not lifting) all the furniture across the wooden floor to set up, presumably for a group booking throwing cutlery around a very noisy uncomfortable place to be. Service was extremely slow. Food portions were small so very overpriced.

Wonderful breakfast menu in very cool surroundings. The music selection is always fun too. The Stack and The Waffle are my two favourite choices but there is plenty of others to choose from. My breakfast location of choice whenever I stay in London.

It's my birthday today, and was a great choice to come here, Pancake and Waffles were delicious, so as the crew members (especially Jason and Maisha) and the atmosphere... I indeed suggest, we will come back..

As an influencer, this was handsdown one of the best branches I’ve had a long time. A massive thank you, especially to Celeste, The customer service was amazing. The food came out so quick. It was delicious and the drinks as well was so good. A massive to the team for hosting all 12 of us :)

Really lovely team and amazing pancakes! Loved it

Fabulous place! Great food, really happy with our veggie breakfast and full English, the relaxed atmosphere and the friendliness of the waiting in staff was exceptional- we went for our daughters birthday and we were surprised with a little birthday cake treat! Really yummy! We took our 2 small dogs with us and they were made to feel very welcome by the staff who made a big fuss of them which was so nice ❤️ Really recommended

This place is “ok”. Distinctly “ok”, hence three stars as right in the middle.

This was a find. Londoners queuing for their breakfasts. Our brunch was good, nice selection of grub, and the staff were eagle-eyed but unobtrusive. We booked, which is advisable on Sunday morning. Easy on the website.

The reviews are pretty good. The food was okay but not special. If you are looking for the food which will surprise you, this is not the place. I ordered Eggs Royale, and my friend ordered Long Weekender. For Eggs Royale, the salmon and poached eggs taste good, but the texture of muffin was a bit thick and dry. I had a bite of Long Weekender, and I think the waffle got wet too quickly because of the smashed avocado on the top.

Service was a little slow, but the food was amazing. The flamin chicken waffle was delicious! Very good place to go.

Lovely breakfast/brunch/lunch spot if you’re in the area. I had the ham hock & chorizo hash. It comes on a bed of spinach and I asked for a poached egg instead of fried, it was really original and delicious - the additions of the homemade hot sauces complimented very well and brought another subtle hint of heat on top of the chorizo. Highly recommend! Lovely waiters as well and espresso coffee was good!

Nice place, very friendly staff also because they don't know English well, they were very patient, the only flaw was the slightly high price.

Had a really nice English breakfast, super friendly staff made me an my partner feel very welcome and comfortable. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area

Atmosphere and service were great. Food was not as much. Pancakes were not correctly cooked (raw and compact inside), bacon was served cold, not crispy.

Absolutely amazing meal and service. Thank you

Was staying right next door at Mercure London Bridge and popped in for lunch. Delicious burgers! And super convenient.

A fabulous local resto with some great brunch and lunch menu choices - been a few times now, fab service and atmos

Lovely cafe in an area when there is not that many Cafe. I had the english breakfast and it was nice and tasty, though I like my breakfast to be hot not cold like the beans. The service is a bit slow, but the restaurant is nice and cozy and the staff is friendly

We stayed in London for 4 days and went twice to the table. The food is very good and the atmosphere amazing. Very nice staff also The best caffe with coconut milk i ever drank

I recently visited Table Café for brunch and tried their caramelised banana pancakes with bacon. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit underwhelming. While the concept sounded delicious, the execution fell short. The caramelised bananas were slightly burnt and a bit cold, which affected the overall flavor. The bacon was decent, but I was hoping for a better balance between the sweet and savory elements. On the bright side, my friend ordered the pear pancakes, and they were quite good—nicely presented and well-cooked. I’d recommend the pear option if you’re looking for something sweet. Overall, Table Café has potential, but I would suggest paying more attention to the details in preparation to improve the experience.

Good breakfast options, quick and friendly service

Great morning out - green juice, coffee and a very good Eggs Royale. Really vibey for a Sunday morning and somewhere I will be happy to return to!

The most incredible brunch, plus the service is second to none! banana and bacon waffle was to die for, as well as really delicious and beautiful coffee. My wife is also Coeliac, and the gluten free waffle option was incredible. Perfect for families, friends and dates.

Great place for brunch classics in a casual setting. I recommend the the French toast with avocado as something a bit different.

Delicious! They have blankets so you can comfortably sit outside, even on a chilly day.

Nice breakfast / lunch food and a big place if there is a good sized group. Great service. Can’t complain.

Ideal place for an original and typical brunch Careful and relaxed service 😎

Great brunch place in Southwark, good food and a nice outside seating area. Will definitely come back!

We had the english veggie breakfast and the brunch club - waffles, bacon, sausages and scrambled eggs. Excellent food. Lovely service and brunch vibes atmosphere

Food was lovely. The bagel in the breakfast was too thick but still good. Burger was very good. The ham & chorizo hash was excellent. Would come here again.

Decent breakfast. Lots of gluten free options. Good espresso. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Nice place, basic food - a bit hit & miss. The toast, avocado, home made baked beans were great, the poached egg was over cooked. Staff were friendly but service was very slow. Atmosphere is relaxed and casual.

Great place. Love it overall. I think food could be more value for money. Add some side to go with the eggs Benedict!

Was my first time at this cafe. The place was excellent with a great ambience and tasty food. Had the Chicken burger and Energise drink was absolutely delicious. Overall such a nice place for brunch in London.

I’m still dreaming about my meal here. Each bite was a delight and just blew me away. Don’t miss out on trying their "chicken waffle". Ms Grace should get at least 5 stars for her helpful service and good attitude.

Delicious food and friendly service

Went here for breakfast, absolutely fantastic food, great coffee, great atmosphere. Everything was fresh and delicious

Leider war es zum draußen sitzen zu kalt. Drinnen ist es sehr laut, busy, eng und echt ungemütlich. Die Stühle sind vermutlich extra so designt, dass man nach 30 Minuten unbedingt aufstehen und gehen will. Service war hoffnungslos unterbesetzt, dadurch dauerte alles sehr lang. Frühstück selbst war gut, aber das reicht nicht für eine sehr gute Bewertung.

Brunch for 10 adults and 5 kids, and it was a delightful experience. The meals were tasty and fresh, and the waitstaff was attentive. Highly recommend!

Good brunch place with several veggie options! The place was bustling on a Sunday afternoon with so many people, the atmosphere and food were good!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying "The Table Full Veggie Breakfast" at The Table Cafe in London, and it was an absolute delight! My boys also enjoyed a full portion of perfect pancakes. Both were generous servings and cooked perfectly. Especially the home made baked beans. The atmosphere was great with its bright, open space filled with natural light. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our experience was top-notch from start to finish. It was the best way to start our busy sightseeing trip in London. Highly recommend.

When I visited London recently I stopped in at The Table Cafe and was thoroughly impressed with both the food and the atmosphere. I opted for the avocado bruschetta with poached egg and grilled mushrooms, and it was nothing short of delightful. The ambiance of The Table Cafe is bright and vibrant, making it an ideal spot for Brunch with the family or a catch-up with friends. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. I would happily recommend The Table Cafe for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal in a welcoming environment.

Great breakfasts with very helpful staff. I was able to swap and change food to meet my pallet. A good range of milks.

Tables outside too tight and barely any space to move. 1 toilet only for 40 tables?

It was a really good place, I wandered here randomly for brunch, I will definitely come back!

Great Café with friendly and helpful service crew, delicious food

I came for lunch at 12 pm on a Sunday. I had made a booking in advance and this would be recommended as it was full and very busy inside. The booking allows tables for 1.5 hours, and they did remind us at the end that they had another booking for our table so we could not stay longer. I ordered the eggs florentine with the addition of avocados and an oat latte. The service was friendly and fairly fast. My eggs florentine was just as expected and delicious. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service. However, the cafe is very small, and the tables are very close together, so it did feel a little bit cramped in the cafe.

Definitely a solid choice for brunch, had a very varied menu with sweet and savoury breakfasts. The staff were friendly and we didn’t have to wait to long as a walk in. The food was well presented but left a little to be desired in terms of quality and size. The only other complaint I have is that the coffee cup (made of some kind of recycled plastic) was quite worn, resulting in loose bits of plastic on one side of the cup.

The price is reasonable and the taste is very good. Everything looks delicious. It’s a place I want to go again. The atmosphere is good too.

While looking for a breakfast spot, we stumbled across this fine cafe and it paid off! Super nice staff, very accommodating & respond to 'extra' requests & the food was also excellent.

Visited whilst visiting the city and wanted somewhere excellent for brunch. Good was delicious and the staff were all friendly. The waffles were all perfectly cooked with plenty of toppings.

Jason was helpful and the food was great! Thanks

This place was fantastic. I was seated sooner than expected, the food was served not even 5 minutes after being ordered, and tasted amazing 10/10

Hearty breakfast and good americano

Lovely outdoor space and the food and service were both great. Would definitely recommend

The pancakes was incredible here! I got the very berry!

My order: chicken and waffles with avocado and sweet potato fries with pineapple juice Was absolutely gorgeous no complaints

Great place for a hearty and delicious typical English breakfast.

Had a fab brunch experience here. Food was delicious and service was great. Will defo be back soon

Excellent service, fantastic food, worth to come again

Excellent menu and food and very polite, professional service. I'll be back.

We had a great experience for breakfast. We both had waffles (my wife is coeliac and could get GF waffles…!!!) and both thought they were delicious. The team and location were great too.

Best brunch I’ve had in such a long time. Staff were lovely and very attentive, couldn’t fault it

Perfect brunch options, nice attention, well organized, very little waiting time. Not cheap but good quality for money.

Food was mixed reviews with my family. Kids expected sweeter pancakes but once we got the extra syrup they were happier. I had the chicken and waffles with avocado and it was fantastic. Very nice service as well.

Actually very good value for being near South Bank. It would benefit from more savoury breakfast options that are fully vegan.

Truly lovely place the staff were bubbly and worked rapid fire, stunning food (yes I took a guilty picture of those pancakes to show off), great value for money. 10/10.

Great food, coffee and service was impeccable as always. Often come here when dropping into London for work, always recommend here for quality and a good service experience.

My girlfriend and I went for a date in after noon and we had an amazing time. We were in awe with the atmosphere and ambiance. The staff was very welcoming all the server Jaison was really nice and made us feel extremely special . The food was amazing. And worthy it as everything tasted delightfully delicious. It was definitely a place I would highly recommend and will be coming back again soon. We didn’t feel rushed at all and our as I mentioned Jaison went above and beyond on us which was nice to make sure we had all we needed and more. Highly recommend this beautiful place

Fantastic coffee and delicious food

Great brunch spot with indoor and covered outdoor seating. Make a reservation if you can, it gets full! Vegan and gluten free options abound.

Very nice Café. Great breakfast, great location, great people. Looking forward to eat there again at my next London visit

I really enjoyed brunch here. We booked for four about 3 days before for a Saturday. There was quite a slow walk in line. It has a large outdoor seating area where we sat on a warm Saturday. My pumpkin pancakes were so good! Well spiced and super moist, not too sweet. The service was very friendly.

Food was unreal, took a little while to come out but was a Saturday morning so understandable Gluten free option, the waffle is amazing couldn’t tell it was GF

I was looking for somewhere with space to book brunch for 3 the next day at the weekend, which can be a big ask in some parts of London, so I was glad they were able to accommodate us. I skimmed the menu beforehand to check they had vegan options (they did), but once we were actually seated and looking at the menu, we realised they were actually very disappointing. 'Vegan options written by a non vegan' as my partner put it. Yes, there was a 'full vegan breakfast' option, but it felt very sparse given there was no sausage, bacon OR egg sub. A full breakfast doesn't really feel like a full breakfast without ANY of those things (even one would have been nice, and it's 2024, they're not exactly hard to source!) My partner had the vegan burger which, again, skimming the menu I thought 'great, there's a vegan burger!' but actually on closer inspection it was a bean/veg burger (we're back in the dark old days of veganism again), and oh, by the way, you can't have the brioche bun so it'll come on bread. A burger on bread? More of a sandwich really? Anyway, it was all fine but just extremely lacklustre as a vegan — definitely the kind of place you'd come with friends but never go willingly with a party of just vegans.

The atmosphere in this restaurant is amazing, great staff members, wonderful service and incredibly speedy service. I ordered the very berry waffle and it was scrumptious. I will definitely be coming here again

I came here with my daughter for her 18th birthday. The cocktail were amazing and not only was the food exquisite the people here really gave her a sublime experience. Really excited to try their restaurant in Battersea.

Decent food, but very slow service

I recently had breakfast at The Table Cafe in Bankside, London, and it was a delightful experience. The breakfast options were excellent, with a variety of dishes to suit different tastes. I tried the full English breakfast, and it was cooked to perfection – the eggs were just right, the bacon crispy, and the sausage flavorful. The coffee was also top-notch, providing the perfect complement to the meal. The atmosphere of the cafe was warm and inviting, with a modern and stylish interior. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Despite being busy, the service was prompt, and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. Overall, The Table Cafe is a fantastic spot for breakfast in London Bankside. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quality meal in a great setting.

Loved it, ingredients are fresh, tasty and the team is so nice

Didn’t have a booking on a Sunday morning…bit silly by me, but they did tell us there would be a 30min wait. Our group of 3 only needed to wait 20mins. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. I’m not really a brunch guy, but I had the eggs on sweet waffles with halloumi! We sat outside, I noticed they had blankets out just incase. Very nice atmosphere.

Great food and great service! Would recommend

Good service, fast and efficient. Great friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff.

Very nice breakfast/brunch at about 10am on a Friday... But the serving staff were either under too much pressure (only a few waiters for all tables inside and out) or just not very effective; it took ages to take an order, for coffee to arrive, multiple asks for water etc. On arrival we were told we'd have the table for one hour, but a simple pancakes + avo toast and 2x coffees order took us over 50 minutes from arrival to completion. Owners: get more waiting staff!

Lovely staff, good food! Great menu to choose from

Good food and a great atmosphere

My favourite place to bring non-Londers for Sunday brunch. Food always, always delivers and happens to be cute too!

Food is amazing and setting is great

Best breakfast so far to my visit. The waffles were delicious! Staff was also very friendly.

This review has been a long time coming, I visited the cafe back in February when my wife and I were in the area for a weekend. The food was so amazing that I had it on my to-do-list for this long to make sure I did a review. The pictures do not do the food or the service justice. We had pre-booked a table for brunch, when we arrived it was fairly empty so we thought perhaps we could have just popped in. No less than 10 mins after being seated the place was packed and there was actually people queuing for a table, I would recommend booking a table in advance just in case. The staff were extremely polite and helpful with food choices, which is handy as my wife is so picky! From the point of ordering the food, it arrived in what seemed like five minutes and it was clearly all freshly cooked. The breakfast/brunch options are different but all look amazing, I wanted to try everything. Absolutely loved the food and we will definitely be staying in the same area on our next visit to London. Highly recommended!

amazing vibe and great food and service, such a cute place for brunch 💅🏽

We used the table cafe as the event space for our (St Mungo's) volunteer week event 2024. Celeste and her team were amazing at their jobs - really helpful, engaging and professional on the night and on the run up to organising the event with our team. The food on the evening was extremely good (so tasty!) and the portions were generous so no one was left hungry. Thank you so much Celeste and team!

Stunning cafe and amazing food . We had the chorizo hash which was superb and the fried chicken waffle which is a must try even for the ones who are not a fan of waffles. The sweetness of the waffle with the pickled onions and blue cheese dressing is overwhelming and a must have . The service is a bit slow and we had to wait for 30 minutes for our bill to arrive. However, as it was a a busy Saturday morning I can cut a slack on that and definitely recommend this place as a nice brunch option in London.

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. The only thing I need to critise is the 10% service surcharge added to the bill. I would honestly prefer giving a tip of my choice.

Delicious food, fast and friendly service

My recent visit to The Table Café in London was quite the culinary adventure. My main small thing to pick on is that nearly every item came with a boiled egg. However, the waffles I had were absolutely fantastic and didn't come with a side of egg, which was a relief. Paired with a Punk IPA beer, it made for an excellent combination. One downside was the enforced 12.5% service charge, which seemed a bit greedy as I couldn't see what justified the extra cost. Additionally, it was difficult to distinguish the waiters from the regular patrons, which made service feel a bit disorganized. Overall, a mixed experience with some high points.

The best brunch that I ever had in my life!!
