   Montparnasse Café has a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed break. They forgot to bring the cake I had ordered, and I didn’t realize at the time as I was distracted on my phone. When I noticed it was still on the bill at checkout and mentioned it, the staff member removed it without offering any apology or acknowledgment. While the setting is lovely, the lack of basic courtesy slightly took away from the overall experience.

   I went for a morning coffee and croissant and had a very warm welcome from the head chef, while he was carrying the freshly baked pastries to the window. It has charming décor and an irresistible aroma of freshly baked croissants, making the whole restaurant feel like a little Parisian escape. The pastries are perfectly buttery and flaky; and the ambiance is relaxed, and there is also a no laptop policy, making it ideal for catching up with friends or unwinding with a good book.

   Super busy small French café. Well located in Kensington. They do have a good variety of pastry and patisserie. Very nice and cosy too. The food was alright. Ordered quite a few things to try. The mushroom quiche, the tarte aux pêche, the mushroom tomato croissant, the mille feuilles, the chocolate éclairs were all very nice. Didn’t quite like the galettes Bretons, its was blend and tasteless, seems like boiled mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach been thrown into it but the salad that came with it was nice. Staff are nice but super rushed with the service as they are extremely busy. Overall we had a lovely experience there and recommended it.

   Beautiful and quaint French cafe. Feels like a corner of Paris in London. The Eggs Royale I had here we’re brilliant, definitely in the top 3 of all I have ever eaten. The pastel de nata was also top tier. My friend had a strawberry tart and an eclair and thought it was brilliant. Only downside is the crepe that my friend ordered. It was presumably made with buckwheat, so had a brown-beige colour and is clearly made for savoury crepes, yet the one she ordered was sweet. Little to no effort put into presentation too. Overall recommend for pastries and typical breakfasts (e.g. Eggs Royale).

   A hidden gem in Kensington! The inside has a Parisian cafe atmosphere and decor and is perfect for breakfast/brunch or coffee and dessert after shopping. The coffee is good, served in adorable rustic cups and the food is top notch. We have tried most of the menu so far and the top 3 are the eggs Benedict, the croque madame and of course the croissants. Great selection of freshly baked pastries too. The staff is fantastic, friendly and with humour. Prices are average considering the location and quantity/quality of food.

   Super cute french-inspired coffee place. Perfect for a calm conversation with a friend or to read whilst seating at the back. Staff are super friendly, specially an albanian guy. He made us feel very welcomed. Will surely come back. It is now one of my three top favorite coffee shops around Kensington.
