The coffee at Bafarat Café is simply divine. ☕️👌🏻pastries, desserts, and eclairs they offer are absolutely mouthwatering. 🍰🍮
What sets Bafarat Café apart is they are the 1st Saudi café brand in London. their commitment to serving Saudi coffee🇸🇦 (Saudi Arabian coffee), adds a tour of nostalgic taste that will make you miss home. 🥲🏡
This café is truly a hidden treasure, often underrated. So, if you're in SOHO and seeking an enjoyable coffee experience, don't overlook Bafarat Cafe!
Pastry is both beautiful and delicious. Yes, it might be a bit pricey, but c'mon, you don't indulge yourself with things like this everyday. Interior is well-crafted - minimalist, pastel colors, cozy corners. Service comes with a great smile.
It’s a nice place to study in, quite. The way the furniture is placed makes it feel cozy comfortable and inviting. The pastry I have purchased wasn’t fresh, but it was delicious.

Probably the first Saudi based cafe in London. Originally Bafarat’s journey started from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I can’t believe it’s in London. So happy for this franchise to come across this part of the continent.
Anyways I’ll cut to the chase, so my friend and I both had the Pistachio Eclair alongside with the Cappuccino and Caffe Macchiato. It was mouthwatering once I took the first morsel bite of the eclair. Unbelievable delicious taste. Amazing. I’ll still give you a 5 star review, even though they ran out of Arabian coffee (Qahwa Arabiya) by afternoon since they sell like hot cakes from morning - they’re imported from Saudi.
I actually came here for that reason, where else do you find Arabian coffee served in a gold/bronze plated dallah pot in London? Nowhere but Bafarat! Will definitely come here again and get my hands on the Qahwa. Wonderful customer service by the way.
Update May 2023: Finally I got my Qahwa Arabiya, it was very delightful taste. But I loved it. I think it was mixed with a bit more water than the coffee but somehow it was very pleasant taste.
The pastries here are the thing to get. I normally opt for the pistachio éclair, but I decided to switch it up with a Paris Brest. Very small, but it tasted divine.
Macchiato, on the other hand, was not so great. Might've come on an off day when the beans might've been overly roasted or the machine wasn't dialled in properly, but the espresso tasted overly bitter with not much else going on. Milk was overly steamed resulting in a scorched taste.
Not always like this though, the coffees are normally good - do take my above comments with a pinch of salt.
Took some home as post iftari dessert and what a delight each one was. Not too rich, and delicately flavoured, each bite was a joy. The staff serving were also friendly and all are halal (fish gelatine is used) I’m told. Will definitely be back for the afternoon tea. Transported well across the city.
Quality of all the pâtisseries were top. Scones were nothing like the traditional British, but more of a crispy and cookie flavored version, which was delicious. The featured Chocolate tree, on the other hand, was not exceptional, partly because there were only two varieties but not four as it seemed on the menu. The mocha was also one of the best we had had.
Request for a quieter table at the very back was fulfilled. Comfortable and spacious seating. Friendly staff.
£66 for 2 for such a good afternoon tea set was a real bargain.
An absolute hidden gem just one street away from the hustle and bustle of regent street! The staff were all amazing, such lovely people, each and every one of them. The pastries are super fresh and delicious, and there’s plenty to choose from. Im very picky about my coffee and I’m pleased to say the coffee here is very good quality. It was so nice to find such a wonderful cafe in London, will definitely be back again soon!
Excellent space in Soho that is ideal whether you need to study somewhere or are passing through and want to indulge in any of the several drinks & sweet treats available.
I tried the Matcha latte and my sister a cappuccino. Both impressed us on the looks as well as taste fronts! Personally I really enjoyed the latte as the Matcha was noticeably stronger than your regular Starbucks/Pret.
The Vanilla flan was also to die for however bear in mind that the desserts are very rich which came as a surprise (a nice one though!)
Needless to say that customer service was also super inviting and friendly as staff did their best to seat us at a table despite waiting at the bar for the first 10 mins.
A perfect place to have a coffee and dessert. Staff is so friendly and helpful.
We had such a wonderful time at Bafarat Cafe, it was an impromptu visit and I am so glad we popped in. The cakes were so delicious, coffee was also good and the people serving so lovely. I am so glad we discovered it and can't wait to visit again! I love hazelnuts, so the Paris Breast was my obvious choice. A perfect balance of nutty, creamy, crunchy and salty flavours! Thank you so much!!!
Hidden coffee shop between the busy Soho streets offering a nice ambiance with cold and hot drinks to choose from. Plenty of seating area with an elegant decoration.
One of the best pastries & coffee joints in Soho, London. Super friendly staff. Must try their Vanilla Flan 👍
Nice quite place near regent St., I came late so I didn’t have a lot of options, the mango passion fruit cheesecake was good I recommend it if you love passion fruit. The gelatin they are using is fish gelatin. They also service Arabic coffee. The staff were nice as well.
Another hidden gem in Soho London
and not too far from piccadilly and regent street
This is tucked away and definitely one for the coffee addicts and coffee lovers.
Very easy on the eyes and has a semi private space at the back which can be reserved.
The owner was super friendly and welcoming.
I stopped by for a mocha which was delicious.
The pastries looked very tempting, i’ll have to visit again for those next time.
