What a lovely place to have a relaxing…

What a lovely place to have a relaxing snack. Well an intensional snack turned into the beautiful “Power Breakfast” followed by the Rice-pudding the best I have had, sorry mum if you read this. All the food looked so so good we could not help ourselves. Got to say at this point it tasted as good if not better as well. The service was lovely and very attentive, our server was very good, unfortunately I could not put her name as they don’t wear badges but she had glasses on and was a credit to the establishment Will be back for more 😋

Rubbish staff there bad experience with one of the staff she is an old woman wearing a scarf on her head

Rubbish staff there bad experience with one of the staff there i am a regular customer there . Today she got me the bill without me asking her she wants me to leave the table because she had someone she knows that wanted to sit on the same table. I asked here i didn't ask for the bill but she still insisted that I should pay and leave the table. I didn't want any problem with here because she is an old woman. I think the manager should teach her manners how to deal with costomers.

I recently visited Cafer Erol London 1807 and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was elegant and relaxing, the Turkish coffee was rich and authentic, and the baklava was one of the best I’ve had in London. Everything felt beautifully presented and the staff were warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Worth the visit

I had a really nice visit there was lovely variety of choices from baklava to cake and sweets as well as sandwiches and lunch options, and a friendly vibrant atmosphere. The cakes were fresh and designs I had never seen before, definitely worth a visit.

more than 250 years old brand, proper desserts

I first tried Cafer Erol in Istanbul, and honestly it is amazing to see them in London.
There are loads of dessert places here, but this one just feels different. It’s not just trying to be trendy or “Instagrammable” it’s just proper, old-school quality. You can tell they’ve been doing this for a very long time.
Everything tastes fresh and handmade, not overly sweet, not artificial… just right. The kind of place where you go for a quick dessert and end up sitting longer than you planned. It’s also a really easy date spot without trying too hard.
Also, small warning: their packaging is too convenient. I usually go in thinking I’ll get one thing, and leave with a box for home and another one “just in case” I visit someone 😄
I’ve ordered online a few times as well, no issues so far, pretty smooth.
If you like proper desserts (not just sugar bombs), definitely worth trying.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed review.
It means a great deal to us to hear such kind words from someone who has experienced Cafer Erol both in Istanbul and London. Preserving the heritage, craftsmanship, and authentic character of our desserts while bringing that experience to London is something we truly care about.
We’re especially happy to hear that you appreciated the freshness, balance of flavours, and the atmosphere of the space. And we completely understand the temptation of leaving with more boxes than planned.
Thank you as well for your support through our online orders. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again soon.

£14 for a slice of cake? No thanks.

I popped into Café Errol and bought a slice of cake and was charged £14. This was to take away. The man on the till didn't give me a receipt just tucked it into the till. This is an extortionately big price for what turned out to be a stale cake. Don't bother with this tourist trap. Better cake elsewhere.
