Cons:

Service and Staff Attitude

Pros:

• "Our guy was very attentive and made key recommendations and was polite and respectful as well as courteous."
• "Had to ask twice to pay the bill but no one came. Went to the till and asked for my bill, of course, I was going to ask the 12.5% discretionary service to be wiped away."
• "Lovely quant place. Staff were friendly and accommodating."
• "The staff were attentive and friendly. The matcha is delicious and the coffee is rich and fragrant."

Cons:

• "Had to ask twice to pay the bill but no one came."
• "Beautiful brunch place with outdoor space which is hard to find in London. Unfortunately, the service was unfriendly."
• "The service was the bare minimum so we wouldn't have tipped at all."
• "I asked for a table for 1 to have breakfast. There were no parties waiting to be seated ahead of me with 2-3 open tables inside and 5 open tables outside. They wouldn’t seat me because there wasn’t a free space at the high top bar."

Pricing and Value for Money

Pros:

• "Fun place to eat and people-watch. Menu includes all-day breakfast options, many with North African influence. A bit pricey, but it is London and a tourist hot spot."
• "Nice location near the museums in South Kensington. Extremely expensive though."

Cons:

• "Ordered two salmon bagels, a small red velvet cupcake and two waters. Upon inspection, we saw the small red velvet cake costed £5 and a small bottle of water costs £3.7!"
• "The service charge was added to our bill without asking first! This was so rude and unexpected."
• "Got an acai bowl for £8, which you do get a big portion of it but would still say its not worth the money."
• "For £14 I was expecting double everything. I asked for butter and it was in a lurpack packet, as if at a travelodge!"

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

• "If you enjoy the busy atmosphere of Exhibition road or just acting like a tourist in London, this place is a great meet up point for breakfast and light lunch."
• "This recently transformed gastropub is an inviting venue for young families and has a great atmosphere."
• "Fantastic brunch and remarkable service. We had a lovely Sunday break in between visiting the museums."

Cons:

• "Visited this establishment for some lunch. It looks nice from the outside. There were a few issues for me with this place: food quality is lacking."
• "Overall, I would not recommend visiting - plenty of better places in South Kensington."
