This place short changed me 20 years ago. I live just round the corner and have never been back since. I can't be sure it was deliberate but it really seemed deliberate at the time. I feel 3/5 is fair on balance.
We went to Cadogan Lounge few days ago for afternoon tea and it was an outstanding experience. I admit I had done quite a bit of research of the Afternoon Tea options in London and we thought this would suit our tastes best, and we were right. The savouries were absolutely delicious, in fact we had to have a second round of the cornbread and wagyu beef and the cheese & black truffle toastie as they were so amazing. At that point I thought, it must be downhill from here as these savoury sandwiches cant be beaten. But I was wrong , the pre dessert which isnt even on the menu was absolutely delightful. And then followed by two incredible pastries, of which the rhubarb was my favourite. We had a glass of champagne and a couple of teas for our drinks, and managed to have a slice from the cake trolley at the end. The room itself is very elegant and intimate. The lady who served us was very professional, friendly and knowledgable and ensured our experience was unforgettable. We are so glad we choose the Cadogan above all the others .
Not somewhere I would visit again. We went in for a snack and a hot drink as we were early for a funeral. The coffee and the hot chocolate was okay. Two of us had a bacon sandwich, the bacon was so overcooked it was inedible. The tuna sandwich wasnt much better, it looked and tasted very bland. It's a shame as this cafe is situated in a perfect location, but it was just the food that let it down for us.
DONT EAT! They are cooking somewhere they shouldn’t be. My partner has food poisoning from them.
I see the shop has letters up and are operating from somewhere illegally
