Great offer and wonderful products. The croissants and the pain au chocolate were amazing. Good coffee. The place was dramatically crowded, but we were able to find a tiny spot for two.

A really nice coffee spot at one of my favorite neighborhoods. Everything tastes amazing, and the cafe is so nicely decorated. Only downside is, it gets incredibly busy.

A really nice coffee shop, elegant but not over the top, filled with beautiful natural light. The service is friendly, and the food is well-prepared.

The Boxcar Cafe in London is a charming breakfast spot that offers a delightful selection of treats. Their pain au chocolat and cinnamon bun are standout items, both crafted with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. The avocado toast is fresh and satisfying, complementing the delicious pastries perfectly. The coffee is excellent as well, making it a great place to start the day. Overall, it’s a quaint and inviting cafe that’s definitely worth a return visit.

Very nice local bakery/cafe. They are famous for some of their baked goods and they offer few breakfast/light lunch dishes. The coffee was excellent, I wasn't a big fan of the mug though, nice looking but not practical. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Not sure why I haven’t written a review of my favorite coffee spot in Marylebone yet. My first visit was in 2021, and recently, I’ve been there three times. I always bring friends along. The last time was in December—a very cold day—with a good friend, but she got a work call to close a big acquisition deal. Today, I brought my musician friend over and was super happy with our conversation. I’ve tried almost all of their pastries, but the carrot cake is my favorite—highly recommended! I’ll definitely keep coming back again and again. :) Only one thing: it is super popular so you may not have spots sometimes....

Everything we tried was fantastic and the staff were super friendly. Perfect place for coffee, croissants, and chat with a friend.

Great place for breakfast and the coffee is fab! Great selection of eggs and bits or pastries if you just want something more simple. The outside seating is fantastic if the sun is out
