We were in London in August and before heading there, I had several convos with my neighbor who lived in London for 25 years. She had recommended Paul!

We went to several Pauls during our stay in London and it was consistently delicious, affordable, and with outstanding customer service. 

At this particular Paul, I purchased 4 pistachio macarons. They were velvety smooth, flavorful, and ginormous!!! I've never had such a huge macaron!

This chain was so consistently good, that I found myself wandering inside whenever I stumbled across one, just to try out a new treat.

I knew it would be less than good when I saw my flat white was poured from the same jug of hot milk right after the latte ordered before mine. Less foam than a latte. Not what I expected.

Nice break

Our visit to this Paul was mainly for bathroom access but we also got a bit to eat and drink.  It was a nice break after our Tower of London tour.  Water was popular with my family, and I got a raisin roll, I think they called it Escargot Raisin.  It, and my bottle of water, were both very good and appreciated.

We liked the place, you order along the display cases of pastries and sandwiches.  The team of people on the other side took out items as we ordered and moved them down to where we pay.  That went well, they gave us a tray, and we found a spot to sit inside.  They also have tables outside.

I love Paul. I don't feel like I need to say anymore but I will. 

I know this restaurant is a chain and I tend to try and go to local shops but I love Paul's. I always get the vanilla macaron and it never disappoints. 

I also highly recommend the Camembert sandwich- it's my favourite.

Went here for coffee & danish before the tour of the Tower.  The almond croissant was deflated and sad-looking, but so delicious that looks didn't matter!   Apple tart was not what we ordered, but it was yummy too. Cappuccino & a mocha, which was made right. Quick despite being so busy.

Paul's is one of my favorite bakeries in London and it's also one of the oldest too, so they have perfected everything over the many years. Baguettes, cakes, cookies, coffee drinks they've got it all and they look stunning but more importantly taste just as good.

As far as this location is concerned, they had usual fares with the view of Tower of London and Tower Bridge from a distance. We were in the area and stopped by to grab a coffee and some snacks.  They had delicious hot chocolate, pastries and hearty baguettes. Lovely outdoors seating area and intimate indoor space. Staff serve it all with smiles and welcoming wit. Well worth a visit. :-)

I love PAUL! I love PAUL! I love PAUL! 

By and far, my absolute favorite cafe. If I see a PAUL, I'm most certainly eating there, or having a latte, maybe a croissant, or a sweet treat. I'm going in for something. 

I first found PAUL in Qatar and then in airports (outside of US). I was so happy to find them in London! 

We stopped in on a cold day, had lattes, soup, sandwich, croissant, and a pistachio macaroon. Everything was delicious!

Fast-casual cafe with incredible food! I can't wait to find PAUL again! Consistently delicious!

This is a chain where u can get sandwiches (hot or cold), pastries or beverages. Decent prices- even for a touristy spot. A tomato and mozzarella panini, a pastry and a soda was for 11 pounds. Save ur receipt! U need that to use the bathroom. There's a code on there for access. U will pay an extra fee if u plan to dine in or around the premises. Weird. Anyway- great spot to ppl
Watch and when ur done u can walk a few feet to the London tower gift shop.

Nice place to get a quick bite or a hot drink when it's cold outside!
Also the location is quite convenient if you're visiting the touristy spots.

I happened on the cafe by accident while on my way to London Bridge. I stopped in to have a sandwich on a baguette and noticed they had a array of desserts. So, I indulged in a strawberry tart and a a slice of strawberry creamed cake. 

The chicken sandwich on the baguette was for my guest and they enjoyed it very much. 

I had the dessert mentioned above and they were way above the grade. 

I cannot comment on the sandwich as I did not eat it. However, the presentation was appealing. 

Excellent service and desserts. You can't go wrong.
