Reviews Drury 188-189

A busy and atmospheric breakfast and lunch venue. Fabulous food due to meticulous attention to detail. Generous portions. Eggs poached to perfection. Care not to place scrambled eggs on toast (which can make it soggy). Mushrooms pre-roasted to intensify the flavour and remove water (again to ensure no sogginess on the plate). A lovely touch was the carafe of water infused with mint leaves. We saw fresh ingredients brought in - mushrooms, herbs. Only negative was that it was a bit pricey, but then you get what you pay for.

I recently visited this cafe in London, and I must say, the food here is truly delicious. The portions are generous, and the presentation is visually pleasing. The taste of the dishes definitely lived up to the hype. However, I have mixed feelings about my overall experience. The cafe's high ratings and popularity led us to expect something extraordinary, but unfortunately, we found ourselves waiting in a 30-minute queue. While the food was excellent, the anticipation built up during the wait left us slightly disappointed. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but we couldn't shake the feeling that the cafe was slightly overrated. Despite this, I want to highlight the exceptional service we received. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Their professionalism and attentiveness were truly commendable. Now, let's talk about the desserts. We decided to indulge in a doughnut and a cronut. However, we were disappointed to find that both were dry and almost stale. It was evident that they had been sitting out for a while, and we couldn't even finish them. This was a letdown, especially considering the otherwise outstanding food we had earlier.

Had a lovely time visiting Drury 188-189 for breakfast! We did not have to wait in line and the service was quick. The portion sizes could have been a bit smaller in my opinion but you can take your leftovers with you. The atmosphere is very cute and hipster.

An average brunch spot in London with good coffee and instagramable food. Personally, I think the food is not as good as expected, not worth the wait for 40mins at least! Food price is average (££). Food: 7.5/10 Eggs Drury (10/10) - Really good. Hollandaise sauce was on point and eggs are really fresh. For bacon lovers, strongly recommend this. If not, the normal Eggs Benedicts will do! Avocado Toast with mushrooms (7/10) - It a little bit on the sour side. Personally not a sour person, so whoever likes sour food might like this! French toast (5.5/10) - Presentation was outstanding, but taste was not as good. Toast was too dry and berries are bland. Disappointed. Staff: 10/10 - Staffs are really helpful and polite. We were arranged to be sat on a couch and low table and we found it really hard to eat our food from the low table, so we requested to change to a normal table. One of the staffs quickly arrange a table for us and even helped us to move our food to that table. We really appreciate it!

We visited Drury for Sunday brunch last weekend and it didn’t disappoint! The portions were very generous and the food + coffee were amazing. The prices are reasonable for a cafe/brunch spot and the wait was not too long for a table for two, about 20 mins.
