What diners say

Hannah Ali

Really enjoyed my visit to HALFCUP BARTS SQUARE. It’s a lovely little café tucked away just outside St Bartholomew’s Hospital, with a warm and relaxing atmosphere that makes it a great spot to unwind. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit. I had the vegetarian breakfast with a cappuccino, and everything was fresh and enjoyable. My server also informed me that they serve halal chicken, which was really good to know. Overall, I would definitely recommend this café if you want a little treat after a hospital appointment or if you’re simply in the area looking for a nice place to eat and relax.

Absolutely incredible brunch experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, with great attention to detail in every dish. The atmosphere of the café is warm, relaxed, and full of charm, making it the perfect place to spend a slow morning or catch up with friends. The coffee was excellent too. What really made the experience special was the lovely staff: welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. One of the best brunch spots I’ve been to in a long time. I’ll definitely be back.
