  “Beautiful place with amazing service. Didn’t have much room at the table we initially sat at but we were quickly moved to a bigger table without asking. Food and drinks both tasted amazing. Definitely a must try. 6/5 stars. Kishan you were amazing!”

  “Lovely place for breakfast! The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and the coffee was superb! It’s easy to see why there was a queue outside, but don’t let that put you off as it moves very fast. Great food, service and atmosphere ❤️”

  “The chicken and waffles were pretty good! The fried chicken was definitely the highlight—it was really tender and juicy, and the coating was nice and crispy. That said, the whole dish was quite sweet. Both the sauce and the honey under the waffle made it sweeter than I expected, and it got a bit overwhelming after a while. I found myself drinking water the whole time. If you don’t usually enjoy very sweet savory food, it might be a little too sweet for you. I also tried the Banana Matcha. It comes in a regular small cup. The matcha was just a small shot, while the banana layer at the bottom was very sweet. It tasted nice, but again, it was sweeter than I expected, and I kept needing water after every few sips.”

  “We had breakfast this morning at Half Cup, King’s Cross, and it was easily one of the most memorable café experiences in London. From the moment we arrived right at opening time (8:00), we were welcomed with genuine warmth into a space that feels both relaxed and carefully designed. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance: informal enough to feel comfortable, yet curated with clear attention to detail. The menu is exceptional. You’ll find a proper classic English breakfast alongside incredible sweet options like fluffy pancakes, French toast, and freshly baked scones. Everything we tried felt freshly made and thoughtfully prepared, but the real standout for us was the most amazing baked cheesecake we’ve ever had—rich, balanced, and unforgettable. What also makes this place special is the open kitchen. Watching a highly skilled team of chefs work with such precision adds a real sense of energy to the experience. Just next to us, we could even see fresh muffins being taken out of the oven, still warm and perfectly golden. The pastry selection is clearly made fresh daily, and it shows in every bite. In short, this is not just a café—it’s a destination. Without exaggeration, it might be the best place for breakfast in all of London. Half Cup”

  “Went back again. Best food I’ve had in London. Another seasonal egg dish. So good. Sausages were good too. And flat white. No q at 9 but there was a q at 10. This place is busy at 10 am on a Saturday! Yummy seasonal fried eggs, ricotta, sausage, kale on sourdough. Huge serving. Couldn’t finish the toast. Just wish it had been a bit hotter, temperature rise. Yummy kale, mango, apple smoothie as well. So full.”

  “Honestly, I had the best time at HalfCup. The food is tasty, my buds were truly pleased. I had so much pleasure eating my brunch. It’s been such a long time since I ate such pleasant food. The pumpkin pancakes and the waffle chicken were delicious. The employees were really nice and efficient. I hate queuing for food but for this restaurant it’s truly worth it!! I will come back!”

  “Bosh. Cute wee brunch spot, doing artisanal UK / American breakfast food. Homemade bits and bobs packed with butter and salt. Inoffensive food for everyone around the world, catering carefully to those with allergies. Waited for a while to get in, so if you can book, do. Staff were super friendly and apologetic about the wait. Service were slightly stretched on the day, they forgot our coffees and smoothies which was a wee bit unfortunate, but the food totally made up for it. The pancakes were hearty, the bacon was crisp, and the eggs were perfectly delicate. Sauces complemented the whole dish to make for a lovely start to the day. The full English included a fresh hash brown, which I may now have developed an addiction to. Cracking fresh goods, served hot and reasonably quickly given the place was packed. Smoothies, though late, were banging. Very refreshing and could taste every element of it. The atmosphere was bustling, the decor was modern and the seating was comfortable. It’s slightly dear at around £25 - £30 a head but worth it for a filling lunch! Cheers :)”
