Visiting from the states on our honeymoon. After exploring all the must see areas for first timers: South Bank, Covent Garden, Borough Market, Camden Market etc. this was the best breakfast we had by far. My wife and I strongly recommend eating here, especially if you are staying at the Marriott in Regents Park. Only a short walk to Primrose Hill from there. The staff were friendly and helpful with menu selections. The food was unique and tasty with fresh ingredients. Sanitary, cozy, and quiet. A nice change from the busy downtown. Amazing cappuccinos, the egg fold was fantastic, and the banana bread was just enough sweet to cap off the meal. If you’re in the area you should consider eating breakfast here!

Wow! what a lovely place and a truly outstanding brunch/breakfast. We were on a day out visiting nearby family members. We opted for the large breakfast and it must be the best presented, most well cooked and tastiest we have ever had, just perfect in every way. The whole place was buzzing, the staff were very polite and enthusiastic, everything was clean and the prices were excellent seeing as it is so close to the centre of London. All in all, a great experience and we will definitely be back. Ps. The cakes we took home were also superb!

This is my third day in London and I am lucky enough to say that Alma is my new cafe local. I have a nut allergy and the staff were excellent. Removing any nuts from the dishes I was interested in. The food was insanely good, and the portions were excellent (I was absolutely full!). And the server we had (Hax) was just amazing. He has a great personality and, again, was really good with my nut allergy - and it was his first day which you would have never of guessed! I will 100% be coming back. Many thanks Alma.

I had breakfast here recently and absolutely loved it. The place has such a cozy, inviting vibe, perfect for a relaxing morning. The coffee was delicious and the breakfast was just as great. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Big portion and good quality. We've tried their acai bowl, full English breakfast and matcha raspberry cheesecake, all very tasty. Service is a bit slow when it's busy if dining in.

This cute cafe is a brunch lover’s dream. With its cozy decor and hanging plants, it’s as Instagram-worthy as it is inviting. The veggie breakfast halloumi with eggs on sourdough was divine. Friendly service and a relaxed vibe make it perfect for slow mornings. A definite go-to for good food, good coffee, and even better atmosphere. :))
