Went shopping to Ralph Lauren and bumped into this place. Had a few drinks here and they were amazing specially the old fashioned. The bar it self was very cozy and well decorated. The staff was very friendly and professional. Will be back!!
Obsessed with this place!!!! When I worked in London, I used to take friends, coworkers, and tell everyone about it!!! Cocktails are delicious and strong! Food is always very good!!!! It’s such a beautiful quaint cafe. I cannot wait to try the one in NYC
It was the only place we could reserve for Sunday lunchtime since it was Mother's Day in the UK and we were not aware of that in advance. When we booked we had no idea that this is inside a Ralph Lauren Store in Regent Street, the "Ralph's Coffee & Bar" name only made sense once we found it. Décor is classic, a bit "polo lounge" (obviously), tables are small and customers mostly well to do. Classical jazz records as soundtrack were appreciated.
Service was nice and accommodated one of us wanting to order an afternoon tea (30 GBP) after checking with the kitchen, since in principle it could be done only by previous reservation. That was nice of them and indeed it's well named as "afternoon" tea and not "high tea" as in some expensive London hotels (where it can cost 70 GBP). It wasn't gargantuan in size or spectacular in flavour but did the job with 5 finger sandwiches, one plain scone and one raisin scone with clotted cream and jam, one piece of brownie with some wort of whipped cream on top and some caramel popcorn. A good explanation of the different sandwiches and the waiter asking which beverage i'd like with it without me having to inquire for a cup of tea that then was included in the price would have been appreciated.
My husband ordered a toasted brioche lobster roll that was lovely but, at 20 GBP with only some crisps as accompaniment, it could well be.
All in all, it went well and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it taking the price level into account.
