"Staff are really friendly and service is good."
"The people working there are kind & helpful, they deserve another 5 stars."
Cons:
"The waiter pushed me while taking the empty dishes from the table without any 'excuse me'."
"The waiter then started arguing with me, a pregnant woman mind you, thus losing the sale over what amounted to a now finished pizza slice - he was exceedingly rude and aggressive."
"Also the staff weren’t very nice either so I got it to takeaway."
"The rude, pretentious millennials who “work” there are too lazy to walk 5 metres to take your order at the table."
"The host is unfriendly, cold and inefficient."
"Staff were useless! Food overpriced and average."
"Rude and unfriendly service. No smile, no communication."
Food Quality and Variety
Pros:
"The porridge looked like a work of art as expected from the images I saw on their website."
"If you like porridge, you'll love 26 Grains."
"26 Grains has various sweet and savory porridge options which are based on different grains and cooked with broth or milk."
"Would wholeheartedly recommend here. The porridge was divine, eggs and sourdough a real treat and top quality coffee."
"The food is yummy and actually quite good value for money."
"The banana porridge and it was amazing, the consistency is something that even though I've tried a few times at home, I can't reproduce."
"The food was to die for."
Cons:
"I’ve had breakfast at yours yesterday and now I have contracted gastrointestinal infection."
"The only downside was that it was a little overpriced."
"Portions are very small and overpriced."
"£13 for a very cutesy sized savory tart with a few pieces of dressed salad leaves and a dollop of some kind of cheese?! Seriously?"
"The porridge: It was just okay The toppings were tasty, but sparse. When I had finished the toppings, the left over porridge just tasted like plain instant lumpy oatmeal with water."
"The Nordic Pear Porridge is very bland; the pears were hard, not sweet and no spice."
"I ordered the yogurt with peaches and the peaches were not ripe and the portion of cereal was like a tee spoon which is ridiculous for a breakfast of £ 9."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"A beautiful little nook in Neal's Yard. The food looks delicious and extremely finely prepared."
"The atmosphere is lovely, seeing as how it sits in an unobstructed corner of Neal’s Yard."
"Everything was simply scrumptious."
"Set in a hidden courtyard with a great atmosphere."
"The atmosphere is fantastic in the Neals Yard location."
"A really comfy atmosphere and the porridge is amazing!"
"Located in adorable, cute yard, surrounded with lovely pretty houses."
Cons:
"Mega expensive egg roll and coffee."
"The space is very small and seating is limited to about maybe 20 seats inside and 6 outside."
"The service is slow and not attentive at all."
"The rude, pretentious millennials who “work” there are too lazy to walk 5 metres to take your order at the table."
"Some of us didn’t like the food and some thought it was ok but not worth the trip we took."
"It's small and you can't reserve so you can be on the terrasse even in February but with a cup of tea it's fine."
"This place is small and they had the big doors open even though it was cold."
