Had a fantastic English breakfast today! The spread was impressive, with a crispy bread slice, juicy sausage, crispy bacon, flavorful beans, and a delicious fried mushroom. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the combination of flavors and textures was spot on. A satisfying and filling start to the day - highly recommended!

Great place to stop off for some lunch before heading to the British Museum, lots of range and good service. I had a cappuccino and a schiacciata with salami-I was surprised to see it actually had a non-conventional piece of lettuce inside it but to my surprise I actually enjoyed that.

If you’re in the area of British Museum - here’s your perfect coffee&cake place, and for the branch one as well. Surprisingly spiritual modest “Gaia” signboard in the heart of London’s babylon hiding cosy spacious space - beautifully designed, with the right lighting, music and atmosphere. Fresh tasty professionally made various coffee, home-made cakes (at least 10 options) and delicious sandwiches - that was my personal menu experience. Highly recommended.

A nice, cozy place near the British Museum. It has a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing break. The staff are nice. We tried the panini, which was warm and satisfying, the full English breakfast, which was well-cooked, and the bacon sandwich, which had perfectly crispy bacon. It’s a lovely spot to stop by after visiting the museum, and I’d recommend it.

WONDERFUL cafe across the street from the British museum. Wonderful tasty food and the service is fantastic. Very nice/kind people work here, and it looks like lots of happy customers. I come to London once a year and always stop here. The big window is lovely and the trees are beautiful. Soothing music and very good coffee and tea. Another great find.

I’ve just eaten one of the best English breakfasts I’ve EVER had (and I’ve eaten a lot!) in this Italian restaurant (lol) more or less opposite the British museum. Very difficult to find any fault at all to be fair, every part of it (sausage, bacon, eggs, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, tomato) were quality and perfectly cooked. Quantity was perfect for me and the price was very reasonable for the West End. The table I sat at could have been less ’sticky’ but that really is the only thing that I could fault with. Highly recommended!!!

I’d recommend to try out the fries with their homemade chilly sauce, delicious. Their gluten free bread wasn’t the nicest, but at least they have some gluten free options! The atmosphere and location is cosy, and you feel like you’re inside a museum once you enter.
