Cafe Continente

Came by on the last leg of our europe trip. Of course we had to get the tea and cake. Coming from America the cake seemed a bit overwhelming because its a huge cake. my partner got the beans and toast, he mentioned that he really enjoyed it. A great London experience.

Had a full English and the French toast. Both were amazing and it is a very short walk from Kensington West Station. Service was very good and extremely attentive and the prices were great. Amazing coffee selections as well as sweets.

Amazing service with extraordinary food. Their food and fruits were fresh. Loved their platters, very fulfilling and flavorful.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed this eatery immensely. She had bangers and mash and I had Guinness beef pie. Both dishes were absolutely mouth watering. Our waitress was both adorable and friendly. She was conversational and seemed to genuinely care that we enjoyed our meal. I was staying at the W14 Kensington Hotel right up the street and simply stumbled upon this place while out for a walk. They were fascinated with my "American" accent and it made for a pleasant conversation. I would eat here again if the opportunity arises.

Excellent English breakfast. Very cosy with good tea and coffee. Must come back for cake!

Cafe Continente is a restaurant and all day breakfast place with 4 star potential but currently settling on 3 stars.

Housed within a pleasant airy space and fronted by an inviting green facade, amid Victorian terraces, Cafe Continente offers a familiar range of all day breakfasts and other mains. I was here for brunch, so plumped for an English breakfast and a milkshake. My girlfriend opted for Eggs Benedict and a smoothie.

The service was confused and rather less flexible than I would have liked. I asked if I could have two slices of French toast with my breakfast rather than the four slices a standalone French toast serving came with. Not possible, which given how accommodating many brunch places are becoming (Balans in particular), annoyed me.

My breakfast was pretty average, with the sausage noticeably lower quality than the competition in this price range (£7). Not too bad, but not great. The milkshake was also average, with little flavour making up for the lack of ice cream. My girlfriend's Eggs Benedict however was considerably better.

The atmosphere is pretty chilled out, with a world music (think Enigma) soundtrack. We stayed for a while after finishing - despite its occasional culinary imperfections this is one of the more welcoming places in the area.

Overall - the atmosphere and some of the food (Eggs Benedict in particular) hint towards a possible 4 star world for Cafe Continente. For now though, it's 3 stars - A-OK.

Great breakfast close to the underground station & good prices.
The owner or manager wasn't too friendly with his staff or welcoming.
Our waiter was really good & we ordered the transitional English breakfast.

Wonderful spot for a quick and easy breakfast! We recently stayed at a rental flat around the corner from this cafe- we wandered in on our first morning in the neighborhood and wound up coming back two additional mornings because we enjoyed it so much. Every server we met was kind, the eggs were perfectly cooked, the tea was piping hot, and our kids raved about the porridge with bananas! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a perfect, relaxed breakfast spot!

I used to live opposite here in Gunterstone Road, and the hardest part about moving from West ken was leaving all those Saturday brunches behind.

I've always enjoyed all the fry-ups/eggs benedicts/smoothies and so on here, and wish I'd had the time to try the french toast too! The staff are really nice (or were when I last went there a year or so ago) too.

Cafe Continente has no real rival in the surrounding area, so just make sure you get there early to secure a table!

Fantastic breakfast. Our server, Gas, was exceptional. American coffee piping hot, fresh. Bacon and sausage was excellent. We'll be back!
