Willows - London

The vibes here are immaculate. Had the most gorgeous breakfast at Willows with friends.

Their menu concept is amazing, being able to select exactly what you feel like!

I loved the Tofu Scramble, paired with a croissant I was completely filled up! The turmeric latte was also a nice warm start to the day.

All the menu items looked so good it was a struggle deciding what to pick!

The team here are lovely, it was great seeing how social the space became over the course of the morning. Definitely coming back soon!

Absolutely love this restaurant concept! The service here is exceptional. They’ve created a warm, buzzing, and friendly vibe. The food is delicious. Great coffee too. And for a foodie like me who can never decide what to order, the build your own board concept is perfect! I particularly liked the scrambled eggs. Will definitely be returning soon.

Have been to Willows on multiple occasions including Valentines, my birthday, to catch up with family, friends and go to on dates. The ambience from the music to the fact it’s never over-crowded is always on point. Service is always so lovely - you can tell they are very selective about choosing the friendliest and bubbliest applicants. Food changes with seasonal ingredients so there’s always at least one thing new on the menu so I will never get bored of their menu. There’s something for everyone, from sweet to savoury and something to cater for all dietary requirements and restrictions. If I could rate higher than 5* I would!

The best place for breakfast, lunch or brunch, in London! I haven’t tried the evening menu but it also looks great. Each time I go, I am SO blown away by the amazing menu, the most helpful and friendly bunch of staff (genuinely every single one of them, which is rare!), amazing value for money and a gorgeous location and atmosphere. Can’t fault a single thing and will never stop recommending it. The best of the best ❤️

Such a nice little cafe! The staff is extremely welcoming and super attentive to dietary requirements! Love the concept and every item was delicious. Had the eggs, banana bread and beetroot and it was lovely! I would also like to give some praise to the delicious oat flat white that I had! Highly recommend visiting this place

Cannot recommend Willow's enough. The food was packed with flavour, great portions and I loved being able to build my own breakfast. The staff are attentive and really friendly and welcoming. The music playing was really good as well. They are also dog friendly. We will definitely be back again and again!

Beautiful cafe with really delicious food and amazing staff! The staff kindly were able to accommodate a table for my friends and I. The service was above and beyond and really fast! The food was also delicious, the scrambled eggs are fantastic. I think the concept for breakfast is really cool, I like being able to try a variety of foods. The chai latte is great too! Would recommend booking in advance as it’s very popular.

I appreciate the “build your own breakfast” concept at Willows, but unfortunately, it fell short in execution. The biggest issue was the lack of bread included in the breakfast menu—how can you serve breakfast without bread? We had to order it as a separate item, which felt unnecessary and added to the cost.

The eggs, sadly, were undercooked, though the cheese was a nice touch and added flavor. On the bright side, the “Pressed Amber” juice with carrot and apple was excellent, and the coffee was of good quality—both were definite highlights of the meal.

However, I found the presentation of the food frustrating. Serving everything as separate items made it harder to eat, and it would have been much better if the components were served together on one plate. This would create a more cohesive and enjoyable dining experience.

As for the banana bread, it was disappointing. It didn’t taste like banana bread at all, and the strawberry topping didn’t help—it overpowered any hint of banana flavor, which didn’t make much sense.

Overall, Willows is okay, but it didn’t live up to expectations. With better execution, especially addressing the bread issue and refining the dishes, it could be a much better breakfast spot.
