We had to do the tourist thing and stop by Crumpets Cafe to get some breakfast on our way to Buckingham Palace. With my limited exposure to crumpets, I'm probably not the best judge but what I ordered was okay.

I wanted a light breakfast so I just got crumpets with butter. My husband got the dish with smoked salmon; some of the toppings they usually didn't seem very fresh, which was a bummer. The crumpets were most similar to an English muffin but the texture is so much better, puffier & soft. Everything was brought out quickly. Overall, alright!

The service was awful and unprofessional. The employees are very rude and do not care about their customers

The service was terrible nad the staff was very rude and the crumpets were stale and felt like then had just come out of a freezer I don't care what anyone says, do not come here. -UPDATE (2 days later) I have developed horrible food poisoning from this place, at the time I thought I might just be a little ill and developed it suddenly but later in the day, I felt horrible and still do 2 days later NEVER COME HERE!

First time in London and this was our first English breakfast! The large plate is a lot of food! it's in a really good location, near Buckingham palace if you're visiting there! Staff were nice and the restaurant was clean and super cute.  I would go back again!

Took a bit to wait through the long line they had on a Friday morning but once I ordered, I got my food quickly! Delicious crumpets and very cozy spot, I would love to come back here sometime.

Amazing fresh crumpets and a fab Benedict! The food here is outstanding, from the traditional English breakfast to the baps and omelets, you can't go wrong! Men behind the counter a bit gruff but the service is good. A must stop!

Located near Buckingham Palace, we went immediatley after the changing of the guard, which was a busy time.  However, we were able to grab a table outside and recieved our food in a timely fashion.  The Crumpets with jam was very good, nothing special.  My husband got one of their paninis, which was also a solid choice.  Overall, a good place for a quick lunch near the palace.

Not very friendly at all. Given its name, you'd think they'd have the very best crumpets. They were ok but not great. Also, no clotted cream. I was hopeful this tiny place would be better but it just fell flat. My son did really annoy the hot chocolate.

Came here for breakfast when I was visiting Buckingham Palace. They offered veggie juice, but when I asked for that, they said they had no vegetables for juice. So, then I asked for water to go with my order...and they charged me for bottled water when I was expecting a complimentary glass of water. Call me spoiled, but being charged a water bottle was not what I was expecting, and most establishments offer complimentary water that you can put in a cup. I was not pleased to have an unexpected charge for bottled water.

I got the smoked salmon on crumpets, which came as 2 crumpets piled with smoked salmon, with a cucumber on top. The smoked salmon on crumpet was good. It was just what I was looking for in a breakfast: something with protein, but also light and delicious. The salmon tasted great and fresh, and the crumpet was light and tasty.

Quick and convenient breakfast close to the palace.
