One of my new favorite places for breakfast out. I came here with a book (twice) while my husband was attending a conference. The food was delicious...perfectly poached eggs and fresh sourdough bread. When I left today, I saw a long line outside. It made me even more impressed that the staff were so kind and made no mention of me sitting for awhile and reading after finishing my food. They didn't bring the bill until I asked for it. A super relaxing Sunday morning. Great atmosphere ❤️☕ Thank you!

I wish I could give the Black Penny 4.5 ⭐️The food is made with high quality ingredients and aside from the usual suspects for brunch they have a few extra plates like the Ozdemir Pasha which really elevate the menu.But: basically being walk-in only, which will force you to wait at least 15/20 minutes outside every visit AND above-average price (yes, even for this area) really stop me for giving it 5 stars.But I hope it won’t stop you from visiting it; it’s much better than most of the brunch spots you can find in central London, that are much more uniform and bland.

First time at a Black Penny Cafe, and I was not disappointed. Food was delicious, well presented, and there is a good variety to choose from the menu.A note, they do not substitute anything from the menu. You can ask to have something taken off but will still have to pay extra if you want something added. The menu is varied so I can’t see this happening often.Service was great. Staff were friendly, liked to tell a joke, and all said bye as we left. The cafe is also situated in a great location. The cafe is on the pricier side, but I can’t fault anything with the experience I had.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Are the only words that are needed. Myself and my daughter loved our breakfast. It's very clear that its very popular, as there was a large cue to dine here. We arrived just in time to beat the cue. Be prepared to wait, but you certainly won't be disappointed. The bill came to £53 for two of us. Highly recommended.

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had, we had 'the gatherer' and the bubble and squeak and both were fantastic. The homemade baked beans were incredible and even the tea was great!

What a delightful experience that was, we truly did have an enjoyable one for sure. We ordered scrambled, fried as well as their pushed eggs on sourdough toast and it was impressive I had to say. That comes along with vegetables in the side with a very good presentation. We also ordered their vegetable breakfast that combined their pushed eggs, halloumi cheese, sundried tomato and beans all on top of their lovely thick slice of crunchy sourdough bread and was amazing. Something remarkable about their egg is the standout color of the yolks, which was orange color and tasted so organic. It was obvious that they do care about the smallest detail of their ingredients which proved the high quality of all listed options and overall the flavors were a delightful fusion of freshness and creativity. The coffee drinks were all fantastic and perfectly brewed and the milk was frothed just well and for sure did not disappoint. The impeccable service was stood out, in particular by Sami, who was so sweet and friendly making sure all was well. She did make our experience at this café a memorable one for sure. The café interior design and décor have a charming blend of cozy and modern making it a perfect spot for unwinding. All in all, our visit to the Black Penny was a unique one and we all left with a desire to come back anytime we’re close by. So it is highly recommended and surely should not be missed whenever your around wither you’re after a delicious meal for a satisfied palate or a cozy place to chillout. Good luck guys and thanks Sami again for being wonderful.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. I ordered their poached eggs on sourdough toast with a side of vegetables, and I was thoroughly impressed.The dish was beautifully presented, with perfectly poached eggs that oozed golden yolks when I cut into them. The eggs were placed on a thick slice of toasted sourdough bread, which had a lovely crunch on the outside and a soft, chewy interior. The combination of the creamy eggs and the hearty bread was simply mouthwatering.What really stood out to me was the addition of fresh vegetables. They were cooked to perfection, maintaining their vibrant colors and crisp texture. The medley of vegetables added a refreshing element to the dish, providing a balance to the richness of the eggs and bread. It was evident that great care was taken in selecting and preparing the ingredients.The staff at The Black Penny were alright, polite and attentive. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere that made my dining experience all the more enjoyable.Overall, I highly recommend it. Whether you're looking for a satisfying brunch or a delicious cup of coffee, The Black Penny is sure to impress. I am already looking forward to my next visit to this charming café.

Upscale cafe with really good food options that run all day. Love the twist on the classic foods and the flavours of the dishes I had.I came around a quiet time and it was wonderful to sit with friends and catch up. Love the nook at the back with the interesting decoration on the walls and ceilings. The service was also really nice, and the people were part of the experience that made me give this place a high rating.Only downside is the above-average price. It does not seem all that worth it for what it is, but you’re also paying for the location.
