Super nice and chill cafe right across the British Museum...  I just had a warming tumeric latte, and enjoyed the beautiful tulips by the window and looking at the view of the British Museum, whilst enjoying to their retro golden playlist.  Beautiful vintage design too. Worth to come!

Cute space although small- there’s an additional room in the back with a few chairs! They got wifi and a few places to sit with a laptop- though they are limited.  My oat latte was quite nice, as was the chocolate babka which had nuts in it. The price for both was 5 pounds which seems really reasonable for London/the area!  The only drawbacks were that the staff member was a bit rude maybe he was having a bad day?, and coffee was served in disposable rather than reusable cups.

Best coffee I have had in Europe! If you are an Aussie, you’ll love the coffee here. Good services and prices and right across from the British Museum.

You will find the vibes you miss in other chain coffee shops. Amazing ambiance and music. Such a gem in Bloomsbury!

The food and coffee were great, but what made this place special was the barista' kindness.  Beautiful and quiet place before visiting the British museum.

The worst experience I’ve had entering a coffee place.  No acknowledgment from the cafe staff when entered. There’s no one there waiting for order, he was just there wiping his coffee machine. When asked if we should order at the bar or at the table, he just looked at us, shrugged and didn’t give any response. We felt so unwelcomed and left without ordering anything.  Absolutely ruined our experience with all the beautiful hospitality received elsewhere in London. It’s a shame as the location of this place is so close to the British Museum.

Friendly barista, great oat milk latte, and tasty cakes, what more could you ask for?

Great tea and coffee, slightly let down with the use of disposable cups, but the great service and the friendly owner make up for it.  Charming 1920s-style decor and comfortable seating space at the back, separated from the counter and take-away area, velvet chairs, marble-top tables — there is a sense of peace and elegance that's quite the find in this touristy part of London.  ...and of course Babka! While all the other pastries and baked goods are delicious, you're here for the namesake Babka. Have it freshly baked and with some coffee and you'll be in for a treat.  The only criticism I have is that on multiple occasions I have seen a slice or two of babka in the morning, clearly a day old if not older. I'd recommend you look and ask before buying, stale babka is not amazing.

Great barista, would be better next time if the coffee would be in a actual mug than a papercup.

Really cute little cafe with super friendly staff and lovely coffee. With the architecture background, the owner put together all the furniture in the shop, based on a pastel theme and creating a sense of elegance with velvet chairs, marble table tops as well as floral china dishes and sugar containers. I particularly love the backroom which has a fireplace and a cosy vibe in general   P.S. check out my full review of cafe Babka on Instagram @londoncafereviews!!
