Food is good and smartly done, good atmosphere but the clientele is nouveau riche loud mouthed arriviste. Service on arrival is dire. You could be ignored, walked on top of by the clientele...needs an attitude check.
Woeful, dirty and untidy....home to the hard boiled poached egg.... needs saving from an owner who must be used to running a chicken shop
Beautiful bar and amazing staff,Christian and Mittey were particularly friendly, had an amazing time and would definitely return. Happy hour is a fab bargain!
The cafe looks the part, with a beautiful interior, however the food really didn't match! We came on a Sunday for breakfast and was a little shocked to see loaves of Kingsmill bread on the side, just being whacked in the toaster, when they are literally right next to a fresh bakery... (When you're ...
Not recommended - slow and unorganised service, staff heard commenting to each other they could not help busier staff as it was not their section. Drinks arrived long after food, and long gaps between peoples food arriving. Food is average at best and overpriced.
As soon as I walked in I knew I would like the place it has a cosy warm feel to it with a stunning lay out. I took a seat by the bar which had lovely comfortable stools to sit down on and I ordered a few dishes such as the lamb channut the crispy cauliflower and a few other dishes. Wowowow the foo...
Service slow. Waiter brought the wrong food. Food was cold by the time it arrived. Charged us the right food though. Complete desaster and I am not surprised it went into adminstration. Shame though it had an exciting start.
The place has a nice interior but the service is a complete disaster and food is mediocre
What was lacking from their choice of drinks (no beer and limited wines) was made up for in service which was brilliant. Expensive for a Brasserie but you on the high street.
Food is good and chefs are very friendly
Unfortunately they have to compensate for a drunk bartender who is screaming at everyone who asks for a drink.
0 service, we couldn t even get water.
It is a shame that I am having to get this nicely decorated new cafe such a low rate. My past experience at this restaurant wasa disaster. Not only was the service Excruciatingly slow, orders were missed and the orders that did come we are wrong. The food was cold when it finally did come and I ha...
Great new addition to the area, friendly staff and delicious food
Always ready to try a new place
Service not great
Limited breakfast menu
No bread available
Not likely to revisit
Quality of food is ok. Portions too small for the prices you're paying. You can find better Israeli food, half the price and larger portions in Golders Green (5min drive away). Staff behaved as if they couldn't care less about their customers, although if all the stories are true, they're not being ...
Saturday afternoon I called cafe Hampstead to ask if it were possible for my boyfriend and I to walk in and have a table for 2 for lunch. The lady on the phone proceeded to tell me they were fully booked and did not accept walk ins. As we were in the area we decided to try our luck. When we arrived ...
Sat down, after ordering drinks/starters (having already sat down for 20 mins) we were told that no main courses were being served. This should've been mentioned at arrival or at the very least when ordering. We were made to feel their starters were "so hearty they will do". Towards the end of the m...
"Unfit for purpose ". I'm no longer surprised this business has gone bust. The food served here is atrocious and vile. The ambience is childish especially once inside. Awful unprofessional incompetent staff.
My favourite restaurant in Hampstead, I won't eat anywhere else now! The creamy hummus and pitta is a perfect starter and the burnt aubergine, cauliflower and all the lamb dishes are all to die for. This place perfectly combines the usual cafe comfort food favourites with an Israeli influence. The s...
Avoid at all costs - this restaurant refuses to pay it;s staff for months, a deliberate policy from disgusting management who have a long track record of doing this
Very good food
Great chef new ideas you will love every bit
Cafe Hampstead has some of the best breakfast I have ever had, the cafe feels very cozy and the staff are extremely helpful. My wife and I love it and will keep coming back.
The service here, is actually commical. Food is ok. But it is the most poorly run place in all of northern london. If you want to get really really bad service, and experience the true meaning of location location location then come here. It amazes me how ever the most poorly run stores in london st...
Chef Aviv makes a surprising and great tasting Mediterranean Food. Atmosphere is also super nice and warm.
Lovely little restaurant. Genuine and non intrusive staff. Delicious food. Pitta bread to die for.
Poor service, wrong order coming and then hair found cooked in the pizza and on top of that staff arguing about it. Really bad place.
service is not great... Food presentation is not great fast food quality but pricy.
great decor, lovely food and super service. Menu could do with being a little more comprehensive
Love the interior and atmosphere of this place. Food is great too! Salad is very fresh and well seasoned. Really enjoyed prawn kabab too. Service is a little slow to begin with but overall a great spot to have dinner dates. Oh and nice Bellini!!
I have been for dinner 4 times over the last year. The first time, literally 2 days after the opening, place was crowded and food/service amazing. Unfortunately the place has overall worsen... bad service(slow and they forget orders), once they run out of water, another time of coffee (had to wait 3...
Can't comment on food, but attentive staff, great cocktails (margarita and old fashioned both exceptionally good, easily a rival for a hawksmoor equivalent and at a tenner ideal) and live jazz on a Friday.
Made a reservation for brunch only to arrive and be told the chef never arrived so they were not serving food. We were not even called that morning or given any warning. Will definitely not be visiting here again.
Great place and food. Shouldn't run out of wine at 7 00pm !
The decor was lovely and the idea of having a bar upstairs (unfinished ATM) will be amazing for Hampstead. However, the food was very bland and the female manager was particularly rude and unfriendly.
Unfortunately our last visit for a while. Great food when when you can get it, but recently missing items from an already limited menu.
Only 3 menu items for breakfast and today there was no shahsuka; last time no French Toast (which is amazing btw albeit today with none of the usual compote).
Th...
Very nice middle Eastern/Israeli food. However ran out of desserts on a Thursday night! And no decaf coffee?
Service was badly managed, our order was forgotten and we were waiting for a long time. Management on the floor had a very bad attitude I hope cafe owners reconsider! This is so unfortunate cause the food actually was very tasty but the worse experience we had!
What an awful experience . I am surprised that places like this still exist in today s day and age.
They have small breakfast menu and even that is not all in stock - missing out on bread and salmon when you only have 5 things on your breakfast menus is inexcusable.
We had to order the same th...
Great place with delicious food and beautiful interior. I love positive vibes here, super friendly staff and an open kitchen. I look forward to the second floor opening :-)
The appetisers and sides might worth more of a hassle than the Mains. I was surprised on how different the mains proportions are, some of them were utterly disgrace whilst others were tasty and well balanced, so best to search ahead and relies on the sides and appetisers.
The shop atmosphere is good and the food is quite delicious.
Good service and very stylish design but food was just Ok!
If you wanna try modern middle eastern cuisine, this is one of the best places in London.
Amazing interior design and good service.
Great selection of wines and delicious food!
Compliments to the chef!
Food was fine nothing special. Very loud atmosphere. I was surprised to be asked to leave the table less than 1.5 hrs into our 2 hour reservation. Mid-eating we were told the next group had arrived and they needed the table within ten minutes. Lots of choices in London, I wouldn't make this one of t...
Great vibes, the cafe has a lovely feel from when you walk in the door to when you sit down, the decor is great and the staff a really nice. The food is incredible and I will be coming back with some family.
I was there about 3days ago and the restaurant get really good I went before about 7 mounts ago and was in a bad conditions the food was cold and the staff wasn't that hard workers .
But now every thing changed I will like to start by the good music that is in there is makes you smile and get nice ...
The food is fine, good simple menu, but the place is being let down by diabolical service. Some days you go the service is professional, other days you go and it's like they've left a bunch of mopey teenagers in charge to run the place (literally). We had to ask for our cutlery twice, in the end I w...
Amazing place, amazing food and amazing chefs. We will definitely come back again!
Thank you very much for lovely food.
Just what Hampstead needs. The food is delicious, staff super friendly and cocktails are great - can recommend the "penicillin"!
Terrible service, scanty dishes, over the top prices
The food is really delicious and the decor is beautiful. However, the service still needs a lot of improvement as the waiting staffs are quite cold thus cannot live up the atmosphere of the place.
Service was great, changed the order after food was ready but they gladly replaced it. Shakshuka was spicy but tasty
After ordering the waitress informed us they had run out of pizza...we ordered chicken schnitzel with mash potatoes and the mash tasted like powder mash potatoes with water!! Then the manager decided to chose the table next to us to sit with the kitchen staff to discuss why they were no pizzas which...
Fantastic food in this exquisite venue. Newly launched, the food and ambience impresses and adds a much needed dining and lounging destination to Hampstead. Well done! PS: Simone is fantastic
LOVE the ambiance and Vegan options! The Moroccan Lentil Stew with the handmade Israeli Pita is so delicious!
I was two days ago at Caffe hampstead I mean they had an excellent work force .. the food was delicious the same and the cocktails .. the waiters were grueling forces always been careful that everything was okay ... can says it was very nice
This has become my favourite cafe in London, the interior and vibe is amazing and the food is out of this world, i have never wanted to come back to a cafe more.
Beautiful restaurant, awful service! Have tried this place three times, and as much as I loved the food and decor, I can t bring myself to go back. Hopefully they can sort that out soon...
Excellent food and staff in a very well-done interior. Excited to have this option on Rosslyn Hill!
Fantastic Middle Eastern food in a fresh, crisp setting. Kitchen is expertly managed, on top of every detail and wait staff is super friendly. Incredible lamb and grilled eggplant, as well as adventurous wine selection! Only draw back was the host wanted to shuffle me around while I ate. Hopefully t...
Delish chocolate mousse! Best I've ever eaten and staff ever so friendly
Fantastic place to eat great food plus nice bar area friendly staff.
We went there for breakfast but left without ordering anything because the menu didn't inspire us and it was empty. Nice looking place, though. And friendly staff.
I was very curious to meet Cafe Hampstead and I confess that I was disappointed. The service was slow and I had to ask for it.Mos 3 times for a highchair for my son. Apparently there were several menu items not available and on the 4th attempt I was able to order. When I ordered the wine there was a...
Exceptional place. truly magical! stylish, delicious food. nice people and great atmosphere through and through!!
Gorgeous cafe with a delicious menu and drinks :) Staff were great and brought us copious amounts of tap water as it was a warm day.
Love the cocktail bar and jazzy atmosphere with groovy live music.
This is a handheld.
Is this Heungmin Son's favorite cafe?!?
