Ambiance and Location

• "If you want to relax near Piccadilly, this is the place!"
• "It isolates you from the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly Circus which is barely a few metres away."
• "Came here with a group of 7 friends on a Friday night 30 minutes before their closing time. Welcoming and friendly staff made us aware that we did not have much time, but they were still happy to take our orders and serve their delicious coffees and teas."
• "The best place in Piccadilly for coffee and cake."

• "Right in the heart of London, close to the shopping areas and tube stations and road and central attractions, this place is an excellent coffee shop/restaurant."

Cons:

• "Waiting to be seated can be a little chaotic, the narrow aisle serves as entrance, exit, & service gallery."
• "It is always full and the ambiente is bad because it is packed like a tube car."
• "The alarm had been ringing so loud for more than 10 minutes, and it was an unpleasant experience."
• "Music was soooo loud, we couldn't hear each other."
• "Place looks very nice, is perfectly located."
• "Place was clean very quiet couldn't take a better photo as there was a power failure so only emergency light was on."
• "It's dirty, not looked after at all. Lamps covered in dust, including the shelves, floor not cleaned properly, furniture stained, walls scratched and not painted since probably opening."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "I doubt you will ever find a chocolate cake as rich and creamy as the ones here, and perfectly done every time!"
• "The quality of foods are good. Boreks and savoury foods are delicious."
• "The food is very good quality and fresh, unlike some other shops."
• "The taste was exactly the same as in Turkey. Turkish coffee was amazing."
• "They have the best deserts too for chocolate lovers, a chocolate fountain, chestnut chocolate or pistachio brick chocolate are usually my go-tos."
• "The ice cream and the pastries are absolutely delicious, definitely among the best I've ever had."
• "The indulgent chocolate truffle cake and chocolate soufflé are the best we have ever had."

Cons:

• "I was disappointed in that it was mainly pastry with very little beef filling."
• "The food itself was not very fresh and thus I'd definitely recommend eating elsewhere for both the food and service's sake."
• "We used to love to come here however today it was a shame, tuna sandwich with brown lettuce, tuna melt with excessive pesto, and chocolate milkshake with a weird taste and crystallised ice cream."
• "Yesterday however I was disappointed that my husband and I were served 2 radically different drinks despite both ordering mochas."
• "We ordered borekitas-dry, tasteless and likely was there for a few days as it surely wasn’t fresh."
• "The quiche was really nice, although it was pretty obvious that it's something just reheated."
• "We ordered a piece of cheesecake. It was quite dry and you could tell it's not really made in the store."
