Customer Review Summary

Cakes and desserts anchor the praise, from a bespoke birthday cake that delighted a whole family party to a pistachio honey cake with a mulberry matcha that one reviewer called divine. Close behind is lunch, where a group ordered the three pizza tower, a coronation chicken sandwich and crepes and found everything delicious. A cream tea with good tea options and a luxurious selection of pastries is called affordable. Reviewers also describe the staff as kind and attentive, and mention the flowery decor, golden embellishments and calm jazzy music. The caveat comes from two three-star reviews. One found the sweets fine but nothing special, cute for pictures rather than for taking away. The other found the cake delicious but the cappuccino disappointing given the high prices. Two reviewers who arrived right at closing time describe the staff checking they could accommodate them, and one was asked about dessert before the order was sent down.

    “What a gem of a cafe! Very affordable cream tea / afternoon tea with good tea options (not just your regular breakfast or earl grey tea) and a luxurious selection of pastries. Bianca was a fantastic waitress, who made it really easy to relax, even though I usually feel a bit awkward to do small talk with waiters. I'm really fond of the Caffé Concerto style in general, with the beautiful flowery decor, golden embellishments and calm jazzy background music, so full points for the atmosphere as well!”

    “I visited this café/ restaurant couple of days ago... I ordered chicken escalope as a main dish and my mother ordered grilled salmon. Also we ordered drinks, I chose Nadacolada which I totally recommend.”
  • Alexandra Abarbanel
    “Very beautiful, staff is also very very kind:) That said the sweets are fine? Like they pass, they're cute for pictures but nothing special. Very sweet, a really good thing depending on who you are. Not my thing though. It's a fun place for a girls brunch but not like you're gonna order the cakes to go.”

    “Dessert lover’s dream Their dessert display window caught my eye, so we went in to try some. The service was lovely. Their menu offered a wonderful variety of drinks and desserts thay all looked incredible, so it took us some time to finally decide on the pistachio honey cake paired with a mulberry matcha. It was absolutely divine. The cake was perfect and I was in awe. As a whole, the place was clean and organised. It’s also very spacious inside, which is ideal for anyone with accessibility limitations. If I ever get the chance, I will definitely visit again to try some of their other desserts.”
