Wellcome Cafe in Camden

The food here is nice, if limited. However, the place is hopelessly understaffed and hellishly noisy and chaotic. It's also really warm and stuffy which isn't what you want with a warm meal/drink.

We often pop on here when in London. I use a wheelchair and it's fully accessible. There's a button to let you on and then a lift to get to the exhibition, cafe (red velvet cake is scrumptious) and shop. Great choice of food, the cafe always has a lovely atmosphere. Awesome selection of goodies in the shop. Staff are always welcoming, helpful and polite. Highly recommend a visit here.

The cafe is in the foyer of the Welcome Collection and right next to the museum shop. It is clean and bright but difficult to find a table even on a quiet day. The food is appetisingly set out and satisfying. Typical of a chain eatery and self-service. It fulfils a need and is reasonably priced.

We visited the Wellcome Café for lunch after looking around the Wellcome Collection. We hit the café at lunch time, so it was very busy. We just had drinks and cakes (as we had brought sandwiches) but with hindsight their fixed price lunch option looked good and was sensibly priced.

Popped in to do a bit of work. Was relaxed and did not feel I needed to move on as soon as I’d finished my cake! Bright space and plenty of room. Love the lights. Food provided by Benugo - lemon drizzle and fresh lemonade were both tasty. Would visit again if near Euston.

A nice bright cafe with lovely lights that gently change colour. Friendly helpful service. There are baguettes, ciabattas, fresh salads (such as potato, beetroot, couscous, al dents cauliflower and green beans) pies (I had smoked tofu and spinach). A selection of cakes - I had a brownie cheesecake with raspberries that was nice. There were a lot of signs warning about bag snatchers . I don't think there were any bag hooks, which if fitted might help if there is no table too room for a bag.

This cafe is buzzing all day. A slightly cerebral crowd of students and those visiting local scientific and health bodies nearby. I overlapped with the end of lunch service at 3pm which was very full. By 4-5pm it was quieter and leas noisy. A mix of chairs and tables and sofa banquettes on the walls. a great place to meet a friend or go to read/study whilst eating and drinking. Good gift shop too with science themed books cards and games

We stopped by for cafe and coffee. Gosh expensive, over £4 for a piece of carrot cake! We also had a wrap, tasy but again expensive for size of contents.

The Welcome cafe is a large open cafe with some good fresh foods and drinks. Wine also available. Good food and service is prompt.

Expensive, (see below), and the banana bread was definitely past its best. Very dry and hard. Had I been on my own, I would have taken it back. A cup of coffee was £3.25 and the very disappointing slice of banana bread, £3.10. In total £6.35. Central London prices are high, but this is definitely at the upper end.

Visited this cafe when it was reasonably quiet. Disappointed that they don’t serve decaf English breakfast tea or sell biscuits.

Big up market lobby cafe serving the hordes of visitors who come to see the exhibitions and the people who work in this enormous building. The food and drinks are high quality, especially the cakes, and the ambience is surprisingly welcoming for somewhere so busy. Not particularly cheap, but definitely worth what you pay.

This is the perfect place for a business meeting near Euston station. But don't go here if you are in a hurry. Today I queued 7 minutes for my coffee even though there were 3 people working behind the counter. The delay meant the queue soon built up. Its a lovely place, although a bit noisy. If you go here allow time for that queueing - maybe its just part of the London experience.

Stopped by while waiting for my brother. The cafe is fairly large and has quite a lot of seating. They also have WiFi. We came by quite early and they had an ok selection of hot and (mainly) cold or room temp cabinet items.

Called in at lunch time. This is very very busy. It is a perfect cafe located in the Wellcome Foundation building. Reasonable pricing for London and a great atmosphere. Lovely place.

Clean tables but impersonal atmosphere. £5.50 for a tiny salad is expensive even though it was delicious. The food is overpriced and I will certainly eat elsewhere when I next visit an exhibition.

Visited this restaurant last week,had a good range of cakes but the coffee and bagel I ordered was not the most affordable snack I've ever had, premises are very clean but a bit impersonal

Paró aquí cuando visite la Colección Wellcome, para tomar una taza de té. Las instalaciones son luminosas y acogedoras, pero las mesas son poky. El precio no está mal para Londres, pero tuve que pedir un platillo ya que solo me dieron una taza. Para ser honesto, tuve la impresión de que, a las 17:30 h, un cliente era un poco molesto.

I went for a public talk to this place. Later on I went to the Wellcome Cafe' for having food and refreshment. It hada nice atmosphere.

Este es un gran lugar para una reunión de negocios rápida con muchas mesas y wifi gratis por una hora.Tuve el pastel de pollo. La frustración fue que se habían agotado en 1. 10 pm y las tartas solo estuvieron disponibles de nuevo 10 minutos después. Fue bastante bueno aunque un poco soso. El 9. El precio del 95 era un poco alto, pero estaba recién cocinado. La ensalada de lado con los tomates ruborizados al sol era super.

Nice and open cafe. Near the shop. Loads of seats (but often busy enough they are quite full!). Just standard seats - no overly comfortable. Good selection of food - sandwiches, sweet stuff and loads of different hot drinks.

Situated on the ground floor of the Welcome Collection, the Welcome Cafe offers hot drinks and snacks. Prices are slightly expensive for the area. Free Wi-fi for one hour available. Interesting gift shop attached to the cafe with a great selection of books.

Airy, light, good food and a lovely pot of tea which despite looking small, contained three cups. Worth wandering around the attached bookshop as well.

La comida aquí es más restaurante que cafetería. Comí el pastel de Shephard que estaba recién hecho ese día y un magnífico batido de frutas y fresas. No pude resistir una de la buena selección de pasteles. 14 para todo eso parecía un buen valor para Londres en 2018.

quick friendly service, nice selection of food inc vegetarian / vegan, plenty of tables, no MUZAK, light and airy and spacious. next to a brilliant book / gift shop with a science / biology / health focus. good place to meet people as it is pleasant to wait for someone and easy to describe where it is. always interesting stuff to see in the collection. some of the best coffee outside Europe and NZ!

Who knew such a nice coffee shop was available so close to Euston. I’ve always stood in front waiting for buses but never knew what was inside. Nice coffee and better than London prices. Good selection of snacks to eat also

I was visiting the Wellcome library and was surprised to see a Benugo cafe in the foyer bustling with people chatting away. It looks like a convenient meeting place, right on the Euston Road but maybe not known to the hoardes across the road in Euston Station. My ham and cheese baguette was candidly very chewy, so in retrospect I should have had it toasted.

Paramos aquí un domingo por la tarde, alrededor de las 2. 00, después de haber visitado la colección bienvenido. No estaba lleno, estaba limpio, había mucha variedad. No es el más barato, pero el café era un ambiente encantador para sentarse. Si vas a la cafetería, haga tiempo para recorrer la colección.

Racial profiling galore, particularly from the one in the yellow glasses who claims to go by the name Mattia. Judging by other reviews on various websites, every single negative review is about the same man. For photos and details of this racial profiling incident, please search #DiningWhileBlack, #AfternoonTeaWhileBlack or #WellcomeKitchen on twitter.

Surly staff and a lack of decent customer service. Also, please put some trays at the very end of your counter for the regular occurrences when the staff lack the social cue to get you one.

The coffee and cake here are very good but the sandwiches and salads have sadly gone downhill recently, The sandwiches are dry and the salads tasteless. I will still visit as it is a nice place but not for the food.

This is a good, slightly expensive cafe, however on my last visit I was very disappointed to buy what was clearly sold as loose leaf tea and find both the Earl Grey and herb was a tea bag in a pot.

I really like the venue and it has a good offering but it's so crowded most of the day, I just don't enjoy being there anymore. It's hard to get a seat, you have to queue. The coffee tasted good but the presentation wasn't great. Service average. Nice shop. Toilets. Wifi struggles.

Isn't food will be served to you means precisely that? I find it ridiculous that the Italian lady in charge of the sandwich bar can give me the death stare for not collecting my food on time!

Really nice afternoon tea! Service was good and the food was delicious, especially the berry tea. Nice location and ambiance were very decent for an afternoon tea or lunch.

Decent lunch bite around Euston / UCL. Quiet setting, which is appreciable for a simple business lunch. Service could be a bit more attentive, but overall a nice experience.

Clean. Gets busy but there are plenty seats.

The food in this cafe is truly terrible. Their tomato soup is basically just a tin of tomatoes that has been put in the blender with some basil leaves; it is not seasoned and tastes very dull. The vegetable wraps are equally tasteless.

Lunch was extremely disappointing we chose a lunch dish thinking it would be substantial -the vegetarian curry ,tiny portion of sweet potatoes and stringy green cabbage,tasteless lentils no flalyr.The dish was lukewarm. When we complained we were offered a free coffee. We will not be back it certainly did not provide a decent lunch for our trip to Glasgow !

It couldn't be better located and I have stopped here for coffee a few times on my way home. It was a cold and miserable day outside so I was happy to come into the arm for a coffee before battling on the rush hour trains home.

Love the afternoon tea here. Good for a quick bite, before heading on to one of the exhibitions in the collection

Comfortable, cosy and good value tasty food for a lunch in a great space.

I was disappointed in the food, and found it overpriced as well as bland. There were 3 of us and no one was particularly fond of our meal.

This big cafe was packed when I visited in the afternoon. There were an assortment of people ranging from Museum visitors, rail commuters (Euston station ,) students, and workers from University college Hospital.Consequently, finding a seat after buying your selection proved difficult. The cafe is modern, bright, and has a great food counter.

This was a lovely and perfect spot to meet a colleague coming off a train from Euston Station for lunch/tea. Quiet and well designed with lost of light.

A great selection of food and drink and a contemporary atmosphere make this a good place to meet up with colleagues for lunch or for coffee. The space flows through from the entrance underneath the glass-ceiling and through the the excellent book and gift shop run by Blackwells.

Love this cafe and the Wellcome collection and bookshop. It's a great mix. Their "incurably curious" motto suits it well. The collection is free to visit and usually fascinating, the cafe is good quality and a nice environment for chat with a friend or casual business meeting or just to hang out and work for a bit (good wifi). the bookshop is very well done with some great science books.

Tuve un delicioso almuerzo aquí durante una visita a las colecciones. Soy vegetariano y fue capaz de elegir entre varios platos, y elegí una envoltura con una selección de ensaladas muy sabrosas las raciones eran muy generosos, también. El café es bastante grande y concurrido, pero no me sentí lleno o ruidosas. Muchas personas están usando la conexión wifi.

Cafetería encantadora y lugar para descansar. Incluso disfruté de la hija adolescente tienda preciosa y siempre disfruto de las exposiciones. Bien vale la pena una visita, incluso para una rápida taza de té.

Wellcome's restaurant offering is simple and effective. It's a "light bite" restaurant ... on a recent visit, we had the baked bream and a bottle of pinot grigio followed by the excellent lemon posset for dessert. We were in and out in just over an hour ... perfect as we also wanted to visit the collection. A solid value!

Muy accesible, limpia y agradable cafetería en el centro de acogida, en sí merece la pena visitar. Fuera del camino trillado y casi cafetería estilo pero la comida es buena, si la luz y un poco de moda. Me pareció que el servicio y el personal de recepción excelente y amable pero los precios sorprendentemente alto dado que muchos estudiantes frecuentan.

Lugar concurrido con amplios asientos, pero no lo suficiente de pastelería en el menú. Artículos costosos pero ofrece un lugar fresco y lejos del calor de la tarde. Wifi gratis, así que fue una ventaja.

Me sorprendió cómo llena el café estaba cuando hay muchos otros en la zona. Yo estaba pensando que debe ser bastante especial. En mi opinión, bastante normalito. Café (que es el meollo de un gran café) sólo fue mediocre. Pasteles para los clientes dejaban para gente respirar a/contacto. No muy higiénico. La zona de estar era limpia, sin embargo. Y, por supuesto, este café está situado en el Museo bienvenido, un empate tarjeta en sí mismo.

A great place for a business lunch near Euston Station. My colleagues were very impressed and we'll definitely be back again soon.

The place was buzzing when I visited as it was loaded with students, all being very intense. Quite a selection of food, but apart from it being over priced (there was a big turnover, so prices could easily have been reduced) much of it was laid out in the area used by customers, some of whom were less that careful when they walked by swinging computer bags - I did see 2 rolls being knocked on to the floor & hastily picked up & replaced on the display plates. Even behind the counter nothing was covered up, so despite the food looking attractive, I resisted trying any of it.

I have been to the Wellcome Cafe several times now, for afternoon tea. They have a nice selection of sandwiches and cakes, and teas. You also get scones, jam and cream. Wonderful!!! Usually busy, but not overly loud. I will go back!

Top Preis-Leistungs Vergältnis dank Groupon Coupon. Super Bedienung und richtig leckere Scones und Sandwiches :-)

Spacious Cafe in the reception lobby of the Wellcome collection. They had nice coffee, and decaff Tea was available.Recommended

We had lunch here after visitng the museum. A good selection of light lunches, including lots of options for vegetarians. The coffee was good as was the cake selection. The price was reasonable, and all in all one of the better museum cafes I've visited

We stopped for a coffee and cake before our visit to the Wellcome Collection. It was very busy and the almond cake was a bit dry.

A reasonably priced venue in an interesting location. However the staff were too stretched for the number of guests meaning service was slow.

We booked a table for 6 for lunch. When we arrived at 12.25 we were told reluctantly that we could go in. The dining room had bare tables except for our table. Then we were completely ignored and had to go to find a waitress to serve us. The menu we were offered was not the menu visible online. There was a misunderstanding about the starter ordered. The waitress didn't repeat what we ordered to confirm she had written what we wanted. When we had finished our starter we had to get up to find a waitress to ask if our food was ready. One person in our party said it was the worst meal he had ever had. He ordered cod which came with an enormous quantity of chick peas and a burned vegetable which may have been fennel. No-one came to the table to ask if we were happy with the food. No-one of us said the food was exceptional. Again when we finished, we had to get up to ask to see the dessert menu nad have the bill and even when the bill came we had to indicate we wanted to pay. This was very disappointing and certainly, would not recommend this restaurant because of the terrible service and the non-descript food.

Just inside the Wellcone Collection building, this cafe opens about 9.30 offering quite a speedy service, good range of drinks and snacks at sensible prices. The museum and shop opens at 10 at which time it gets quite busy and lively.

Wellcome Kitchen is a great place for a business light lunch and/or coffee - if you get a chance check out the collection too!

Great atmosphere, will definitely be back.

Convenient for Euston Station and visiting the (free) Wellcome Collection in the same building, this is a busy cafe serving delicious cakes, soups and salads. They even make up their own tea-bags!Friendly and efficient staff show other establishments how it should be done

Dopo la visita alla Wellcome Collection e prima di prendere la metropolitana che è lì a due passi , breve pausa azzardando un cappuccino, che di solito è cattivo a Londra. Invece non era male. personale gentile, ambiente confortevole, prezzi leggermente più alti che nelle catene, ma non eccessivi

It was good to go to a restaurant in an area of London where you wouldn't necessarily expect to find one of this quality. Also it's great that it's within the Wellcome Foundation where there are other attractions.

Situated on Euston Road , convenient to Euston stations offers a lovely place to sit and have your refreshments whether it is food or drink. Very Courteous staff who serve with a smile and eye contact ( a rare thing these days in so many places).

Excellent food for a really great price! I scheduled a casual business meeting with a colleague as my usual haunts were booked up for Christmas dos (fair enough!). As it's inside the Welcome Collection, it is a bit off of the usual track and so my colleague and I were able to have a great chat with no interruptions. The food was really good and fairly priced. Wine selection is great. My one note would be that the decor, while nice, could perhaps be more reflective of the Wellcome itself (just because it's such a quirky, cool place), but of course that's not vital and the restaurant itself is perfectly pretty--just one girl's observation :-). All in all a hidden gem!

Clean and well presented environment. Adequate portions although we would prefer a little more sandwich rather than too much cake content. Facinating exhibition in the same Wellcome building. Worth a visit.

The Wellcome Cafe is very close to Euston Station and offers far better food and drinks in a much better environment if you need a good cafe before joining a train. The food and drinks are fine and served properly and its all quite reasonably priced for London.

The café is a nice place to visit but it can get very busy. I always forget there is a second café on the second floor which is quieter. The coffee and food is very good and has always been tasty. The selection is quite good and it looks fresh. It is a place I will visit again but it can get quite busy. Shows it must be popular!

This is a really nice space for a coffee or lunch, we popped in after visiting the Bedlam exhibition about asylums...v good. We had a light lunch of sandwiches/ciabatta/wrap and drinks. The wraps etc are very nice but are around £5 each and a can of coke was £1.50. Not being from London this seemed pretty expensive but the quality was good and the atmosphere was nice.

The carrot cake and tea were delicious. There is a good range of food at reasonable price. The service was friendly and helpful.

Wellcome Kitchen was perfect for a quick lunch catch up and browse around the collection, will visit again and browse some more.

The service from the very friendly and professional staff was excellent. We had afternoon tea and the selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes was very good.

I have been here twice now, and I love the afternoon tea! Lovely little bites of sandwiches and cakes, and a scone with cream and jam each. A full pot of tea each too. You can pay extra for alcohol if you like. The service has been very friendly and polite on both occasions I have been there, and the ambience is relaxed and peaceful. At their prices you definitely need to book to avoid disappointment!

I ventured to the cafe after a great mental health exhibit at the Wellcome. I had a small lemon cake slice and some Earl Grey, taking in the quaint vibe of the fellow visitors and the adjacent bookshop. Along with tea and dessert, there are sandwiches, salads, and coffee, if you desire. A nice break within a museum dedicated to highlighting the human body's vast mysteries.

Perfect ace to meet for informal business meetings. Good coffee, food and wifi very close to Euston Station. The book shop is fab too. Highly recommend this.

We had a coffee break at this busy place just before visiting the exhibitions at the Wellcome. This seems a popular meeting place for those just passing by. It sells everything you would want from a cafe, including light lunches. Self service, quick and efficient if a bit pricey.

The Wellcome Kitchen team were their usual friendly selves , helpful and attentive. The Chef and colleagues - Bernadette et al + Annelise , the manager were very obliging in rustling up at short notice a VEGAN afternoon tea - with soya milk, tasty vegan sandwiches + vegan cake which is something of a rarity in public places + fruit — beautifully served. A 'posh' vegan tea seems hard to come by in London — is this a first for Bloomsbury? It impressed my non-vegan guests. Congratulations and thanks to WK staff .

Pleasant oasis on the side of the frenetic Euston Road. Much more pleasant to wait here for a train than in the confines of Euston station. Enjoyed a simple snack.

We decided to visit the cafe for a family lunch before catching a train at Euston station which is just opposite. We had a light lunch - the quiche of the day was carrot and broccoli served with salad - and there was a variety of interesting sandwiches and wraps.Lots of appetising cakes on offer too, but we resisted the temptation! Slightly on the pricey side, but a very well judged menu and pleasant surroundings, including the pink bulbs on the ceiling! The cafe was well patronised but not excessively busy (although we visited on a Sunday). Very enjoyable.

A great meal in a lovely quiet dining space, the service is good, the food fresh and tasty as well as being of good value. This place is a lovely secret away from the chaotic streets of Euston.

We had never visited or even heard of Welcome, what a surprise it was, they have exhibitions and museum all available for free. The staff were exceptional and very accommodating if you have to change a time and date. The food was delivered very quickly and was very tasty. I recommend Welcome very highly indeed. Will visit again next year.

We checked out this modern nicely decorated cafe while taking in the museum and book/gift shop. Ultimately we opted to eat elsewhere, but the food looked and smelled good, and the prices were rather reasonable for a museum cafe.

This café is on the ground floor of the Wellcome building, which houses a medical sciences museum freely open to the public as well as a library and it holds regular lectures. There is a light and open feel about the place and it is crammed full of interesting people to sit and watch. The museum shop is situated adjacent to the café.The staff were pleasant and friendly and the café was clean and well looked after. The food and drink is fresh and interesting, including Catalan Chicken soup, a variety of salads and watermelon juice (which was chewably delicious) and Orange Rooibos Iced tea.Toilets are available just a short walk around the corner and are very clean.We ate twice and were taken aback at the price the first time, four cakes and four cold drinks cost a staggering £24. But the second time three soups and a baguette (no drinks - we took advantage of the free tap water just past the till) only cost us £17.I would use this café again.

This cafe has potential and is in a great location. However the food is underwhelming, and all plates are served cold, including things like the savoury tart. The temperature control is poor, and air conditioning is left on even when the restaurant is largely empty of customers and cold. After asking for it to be turned off, we were told this was not possible. Cold, and dissatisfied with the food, we left.

I have used the restaurant on many occasions for business meetings. However, the menu now is too limited. For mains there was Salmon and then two different quiches- we nearly left because the choice was so bad. Its good for business meetings because of its location and the fact that its not too noisy. The burger at least should be brought back- quiche is so lazy. The food that we had was good and the service was good. I will try the restaurant once more before I recommend it to any more people.

Fabulous service. Limited but good choice of food. The chocolate brownie and ice cream was delicious.

The room is lovely, service was ok though it was difficult top attract attention on a couple of occasions. However we were not rushed at any stage. The food was dissappointing. My friend and I had the large mixed salad with 3 options - it was a bit tastless and did not seem to have any dressing nor weer we offered any. The coffee was good.

Great range of home cooked food - the lemon drizzle cake was to die for! Lots of people here were meeting friends/colleagues. It is bright and welcoming.

Very nice and big cafe. You can work here or eat and then use the library or work space on the 3rd floor. They always have exhibitions going on and a book shop right next to the cafe. Love it!

Um lugar incrível para tomar um bom café! O que realmente enche os olhos é a experiência vivida em neste lugar!

very bright and airy cafe and nice food too. We enjoyed our visit.I can't remember what I ate but it was nice.

Wonderful and tasty. Very reasonable prices. Great service. All round good experience and the Reading Room next door is magical!

Visiting UCL, I was taken to the Wellcome Cafe by my hosts. University food is typically bad or heavy, so, as usual, I was concerned. The Wellcome Cafe has modern decor and serves truly excellent food. I was really surprised! The hot-smoked salmon, avocado, arugula and mayo baguette was absolutely delicious. If you work in the area, definitely a place to grab lunch or a quick bite.

Good choice of soups, sandwiches, salads and quiche. Hot drinks all excellent including lovely Spicy Masala Chai. Staff always cheerful and friendly. And I can gaze across at all the tantalising goodies in book/gift shop while drinking my coffee!Excellent disabled access.

Great choice and good portion of freshly made salads. Had a beetroot salad with feta cheese, turnip and root vegetables, that I really enjoyed. Wonderful atmosphere and ready for my next visit.
