  “Passed this place many times in Paddington and the photos outside always looked inviting, so my wife and I finally tried it. Big disappointment. We ordered minestrone, lamb chops, sirloin, and a salad. The soup arrived late and tasted like watered-down tomato paste. The meat was poorly cooked — possibly because we came after 9 PM and the grill had cooled off. At restaurant-level prices, you expect restaurant-level food. The pizzas going to other tables looked far better, so that may be the safer bet. The owner is friendly, but kindness can’t make up for the food. Won’t be returning.”

  “Honestly, this might be one of the worst café restaurants and breakfasts I’ve ever been served or been to. The breakfast was so bad that I left half of it untouched in case of food poisoning. It really was that poor. The bacon was cooked but stone cold, the sausage was one of the worst I’ve ever seen, and the mushrooms tasted like they came straight out of a can I’d be shocked if they were fresh. The decor is somewhat nice and the staff seemed okay, but that’s just surface level. What matters is the food they’re serving customers, and it was genuinely disappointing. I felt sorry for the two American (or Canadian) tourists who walked in this might have been one of their first stops in London, and they were met with this. It’s no wonder why they’d get a bad impression of British food. For £13, it’s not cheap either. Would not recommend. Update: I returned to the restaurant shortly after leaving, just to check if I might have accidentally left something behind in the bathroom. I was immediately met by a very hostile manager who aggressively questioned why I was there, assuming I just wanted to use the toilet. Even though there may have been a slight miscommunication, the attitude was unnecessarily rude and confrontational. In the end he eventually let me check, who presume was restaurant owner but the whole interaction felt very unwelcoming for no good reason. Whether I left anything or not is beside the point I honestly doubt they would have returned it to me if I had. Thankfully, I had already cancelled the two items I was carrying, so anyone who tries to use them will be in for a nasty surprise when they discover they no longer work.”

  “Stopped in for a fry-up after taking the Heathrow Express following a really long (13 hours!) flight which landed at around 8am. Came in to this caff simply because it was close to the station and was pretty empty. We were rather sorry to have come here. The fry-ups were both pretty rank; the sausages were obviously cheap, the bacon was substandard and the mushrooms were disgusting - I have no idea what oil they were fried in but it tasted like it should have been changed decades ago. The tomato looked like it had committed hara-kiri before cooking, it was so emaciated and depressed. Our son's chicken nuggets and chips weren't much better. He didn't eat all of it and I can't blame him. The staff were ok, no problems there, and they allowed me to swap the egg in my breakfast for an extra sausage. If I'd known how bad it was going to be, I wouldn't have asked.”

  “My first visit to La Tazza Cafe, but it certainly won't be my last. The full English breakfast was so delicious, and great value for money. Next time ... 🍕 !”

  “We stayed near Paddington Station and stumbled across La Tazza by accident - and we’re so glad we did! The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming. We ended up going there every morning for breakfast, and even tried dinner one evening (the fish and chips were excellent!). People who work there are wonderful, and it was always such a pleasure to chat with the owner. We’ll definitely be back! (Anna)”

  “Visited 19/06/2024, arrived late so not many options from desserts menu to try, out of cheesecake, but understandable as near closing time. The older gentleman behind the counter was very accommodating and helpful along with the younger server, they allowed us to take our time. The apple pie was nice and portion was decent, very filling and tasty. Lovely venue with decent amount of seating, would recommend if near to Paddington/St Mary’s Hospital 👍🏽 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

  “I wanted to take a moment to share my outstanding experience at your La Tazza Caffe. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with excellent service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my visit was enjoyable. One feature that truly make me confortable is to providing of free WiFi. (Which I cannot say about the competitors "next door") In this day and age, it's essential to stay connected, (it is absolutely necessary in 21st century) and your recognition of this need is commendable. I appreciate being able to get work and browse the internet seamlessly while enjoying your services. I must also acknowledge the incredible efforts of Kiki, the owner. Kiki's commitment to customer satisfaction is evident, as they consistently went the extra mile to ensure that my visit was memorable. It's rare to encounter such dedication, and it made all the difference in my experience. Another aspect that stood out to me was your reasonable prices. It's refreshing to find an establishment that combines great quality with affordability. I felt that I was getting excellent value for my money, and I didn't have to compromise on the quality of service. The well-curated background music added to the overall ambiance of the place. It created a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, allowing me to focus and enjoy my time spent there. One of the highlights of my visit was the convenience it offered. I had a few hours between my hospital appointments, and your establishment provided the perfect space for me to accomplish some work. It was super convenient to have everything I needed in one place, and I was able to be productive in a comfortable environment. Lastly, I must commend the kitchen staff. The food was extraordinary, and I could tell that it was freshly cooked. The flavors were delightful, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Based on my experience, I will definitely be coming back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your establishment to my friends and family. Keep up the fantastic work, as you have undoubtedly earned a loyal customer in me. Thank you once again for providing me with an excellent experience. Your dedication to service excellence is truly commendable. I look forward to my next visit.”

  “Saw some negative reviews about this place as I had my dinner there and to be honest, I don't understand them at all. In short, a good value for money. Excellent service thanks to the very friendly and attentive staff. Food was tasty too. Ordered pepperoni pizza, spaghetti bolognese and hot chocolate, all of which were super delicious. Was surprised that this restaurant was empty on a Wednesday night but there were a bit more people coming in after 9pm. It definitely deserves more customers in my opinion!”
