The Chelsea Quarter Cafe

This café has a lovely décor and ambiance with big rustic tables but some of the staff there are really, really rude — I have only had a ruder waiter once in my 10 years in London!!!

The window display called our name yesterday, as we were walking by this charming café. Here are my thoughts on our lunch:
Ambiance is great. Love the rustic atmosphere.
Service is friendly but unbelievably slow. This despite the restaurant being less than ½ full.
Food is a real letdown.
– Salmon salad was fine, more vegetables than salmon and such a small portion for the price.
– Avocado and tomato salad was excellent but again a bit small in terms of portion.
– BBQ chicken was well-​received by my picky husband — I didn’t try it.
– Broccoli soup tasted more like split pea. I wouldn’t recommend ordering this, especially since it was expensive.
– Shwarma was a bit dry. Obviously this wasn’t the smartest place to order a shwarma but try telling that to a 10-​year-​old!
This café has real potential but needs to step up their food and service. I don’t think we’ll return.

Let’s see… It takes over 30 minutes to make scramble eggs and I’m the only one ordered anything at the moment. What do you want me to say?

This is a strange place. I think the window display is fantastic but the interior does not match up to this! A little bit Travelodge-​esque. I might being a tad dramatic but I can’t help feeling this way. My coffee was absolutely fantastic but my eggy wrap was a real let down. The wrap itself was beautifully soft but the egg inside was insipid and old tasting. I would return but only for coffee and a sample of their cakes in the window.
