Half&Half

A little off the beaten path but the high quality food and delicious drinks at this place are worth the few extra steps. We came on a weekday so it wasn’t too busy. Well priced for the large dishes and fresh ingredients! Will be coming back for my next stay in London!

Great! Food was really good. Price - quality was very good. All self made. Staff was very friendly. If I'm again in London I'll definitely come again :)

Lovely cafe, quite busy for Saturday brunch. I just got a takeaway coffee but the food looked fabulous and they were packed so it must be good. I had an oat milk mocha with dark chocolate that was very nice. Reminded me of an authentic mocha (just chocolate and espresso) I had in salt lake.Highly recommended!

Got the savoury pancakes here. They were light, fluffy and perfectly cooked. The flavours of the ham and cheese could have been better, but still fantastic. The food at other tables looked equally good. Staff were pleasant.

I went an hour before closing and it was packed so I can imagine if you came for brunch you’d have to queue. Having said that I really enjoyed the atmosphere, coffee and carrot cake were delicious and I recommend sharing the cake as the slices are huge. It’s also a good place to do work!

Butternut and feta pancakes are the best!! Really recommend it! There was a queue on Saturday morning even at 10am in the morning! 😭

Wonderful breakfast here. Had a full English and it was delicious! Highly recommend.

I didn't have coffee here but the smashed avo here was the only truly delicious brunch that I've managed to find in three weeks in London. I wish I'd taken a photo because it was also beautifully presented.

Food is delicious, had the weekend special and the hashbrowns with poached eggs and hallumi! I would highly recommend this place, customer service was alright our waitress was very nice but the lady at the door is a bit rude and not to friendly! other than that i could say is one of my favourite places to brunch in London!

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had even if it was just eggs, toast and avocado. Lots of little details were paid attention to including seasoning. Coffee was lovely too. Service was on the inattentive side but they were justifiably really busy.

Cute little coffee shop just south of Kings Cross station. Stripped floors and eighties music but none the worse for that. Fair amount of space and seating. Great range of tea and excellent cake in generous portions. Not particularly cheap but a lovely experience.

Nice place, good food, quick service but long queue! Make it early for brunch on Sunday if you want to get a table without a wait! It’s a great spot in an area packed with big chains and no local coffees!

Great place we happened upon when walking to the train station. Lovely service and great food. We had the shakshouka, hash brown eggs Benedict, the purple chai and the mulled drink. All great choices! Fast service and lovely atmosphere!

We stayed at comfort inn & suites king cross and decide to take a walk and saw this cafe. It’s a nice little quaint cafe and serve really nice breakfast/brunch menu! Coffee was great too! Price is reasonable too! Staff were friendly and helpful! We were at the cafe at around 11pm and was one of the first customer. When we left at around 12:30pm, the cafe was almost full. Highly recommended!

The Cafe was awesome, and the food was fantastic. The seats filled up quite quickly after opening, and it became a bustling spot, but retained a cozy feel. A fair amount of seating options, good variety of food, and the service was great. Definitely recommend!

A little of the main road but definitely worth a visit. Delicious food and friendly staff. I think we went on a good day as didn’t have to wait for a table and there was a nice atmosphere inside. The only thing that niggled me is the drinks were a little expensive but that could just be London. I would definitely go back and would recommend if you’re in the area.

Very nice brunch location. I’ve been here several times for coffee and brunch, I’ve never been disappointed. The Full English is very nice if you want to try a bit of everything. And there’s also a vegetarian option. My favorite pastry is the carrot cake, I would definitely recommend the place. Be careful on weekend, you’ll need to queue for a bit.

Overhyped. Was looking forward based on other reviews. Service seemed rushed and patchy dependent on who it was. Food not bad but didn't meet expectation and cost was expensive for what it was. Visited The Potting Shed in Marylebone the day after and paid £3 more for breakfast, was a much better experience.

Really like the pancakes here- haven't been for a while as it gets busy and sometimes you have to queue.

Food served is good, but the thing that is annoying is that the staff asked us to wait outside the restaurant for a table to be available and the weather was really cold to do so. 😲 Felt like tormented

A great brunch place with a hipstery atmosphere. Good looking and tasting dishes. We tested the English breakfast and it was top notch!👌 Had to wait in the queue for about 15 minutes, so not bad at all.

Great food, but staff needs proper training. Maybe a change of management should be looked at as I've been here 4 times and had to wait each and everytime while empty tables are inside.

Not a spot for a nice chilled brunch. Food is tasty but from start to finish they rush you out the door. My food was cleared before I had finished it. Then the waitress immediately brought the bill and actually asked us to leave. If I queued for hours I would be annoyed as was on the premises for about 20 mins.

Cool cafe with nice atmosphere. Good menu, though beware - the kitchen closes early. Friendly staff.

Best breakfast we’ve had for a long time! We’re already planning on recreating the feta and squash pancakes at home! 🤤

Place is trendy and upmarket looking. Went in to get a take away flat white - unfortunately could barely taste the coffee in, mainly milk. Came in a very small take away cup that looks the part but unfortunately the standard was not great, especially given the price. Toilets were clean. Entrance door unnecessarily huge and heavy.

Decided to visit the place after seeing the instagram posts. However, I was expecting something more from the food. It was just ok.

I spent a few hours sitting in the front window of Half Cup, eating a delicious full-English breakfast, sipping tea, and soaking in the sun. The night before I came here was a very long one and I needed somewhere to rest and restore. I found exactly what I was looking for. I was astonished at how generous the portions on the breakfast were. I've never had such delicious and savory bacon. I can't wait for an opportunity to come back and indulge in another morning spent lounging in the sun of the front window! #letsguide

Taste good. All ingredients are fresh and well seasoned but nothing surprised us. Taste more like homemade food. “Pink Dream” is quite a small cup for £4 without VAT, looks very beautiful, and taste OKAY. Service is great. Need to queue up for a bit but not waiting too long. Over all, good for visit once but we won’t return.

Just had the most utterly delicious smashed avocado toast. Sublime. Thanks... I'll be back

Prepare to queue!The menu is straight forward and simple.Alcohol is served from 12pm.It is really a shame that my french toast was slightly dry as I loved all elements of the dish! (ripped ricotta cheese was heavenly and sweet which was perfectly balanced with the peach compote). The french toast was surprisingly not heavy at all but still left you satisfied. My partner opted for the croissant with scrambled eggs and ham which was also very nice and I chose the aubergine on a bed of butter pea mash. Was quite overwhelmingly sweet on its own however eating it with a side of toast will balance it out.The spoonfuls effortlessly disintegrate in your mouth although I do wish there was more contrast in textures as all elements (except the pomegranate) were quite mush mush.Wasn't a great hit on that day however definitely hasn't put me off. It's one of those places that you know if all elements were perfectly executed, it would be a marvellous brunch experience!

There is nothing half about this coffee shop! It has excellent and colorful food with excellent coffee and above all consistency in what they offer. The staff is always friendly and ready to accommodate you. The long lines for this small coffee shop are justifiable!

I think this place is a bit overrated. Food was good, well presented but not amazing. One of the portions was good but the other was quite small for the price. Drinks were good, place is okay but that's it. Plus we had to wait around 20/30min for a table. It was a good experience, but not good enough or good value to go back.

First impression is that the service needs to be improved. I was not happy to receive a warm can of drink with no ice and there was no vegan cake left at 2pm so I didn't eat. The scrambled eggs my friend had looked nice though.

Great brunch. Hash Benedict is a brilliant idea. So so coffee though (even with beans from Nude)

Small, hip English cafe with delicious coffee and food. Few tables, but if you get a seat you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful food, best eggs I've had Inna long time! Lovely staff and a cosy restaurant

Lovely spot! A hidden gem in Kings Cross. Great coffee. Service was on point for such a busy day.Thanks to our wonderful host and server Marcus for not missing a beat with some unintentionally difficult customers. You put a smile on all of our faces. We will defiantly be back and will recommend Half Cup onward.

Bit of a wait for a Saturday brunch but the delicious food was worth it

Deliciously decedent (and a little bit naughty) the Oreo french toast was amazing. Also treated myself to a few of their 2 for 10 mimosa's (other cocktail options available) and my friend enjoyed her croque-maddam. Lovely brunch atmosphere, friendly staff and the WiFi worked a treat. Great little find thanks to other good reviews and pictures on google, would recommend

Savory pancakes we're really dense and chewy, I wish they were lighter and fluffier. The portion could also be smaller. My companion had the sesame brioche with bacon, egg and avocado, but the avocados were not ripe at all and barely edible. The space is not sound insulated, so everyone in the small space talking was deafening. Service was very nice though, and the coffee was excellent.

This is a hidden gem. Stumbled upon this along the way as we are researching for breakfast. The breakfast is so far one of the best we had in London, far better than The Breakfast Club. We had the Wild Mushrooms on Toasts, a Croque Madame, and the Butternut Squash & Feta Pancakes with added bacons. Superb comfort food in the morning. Highly recommended

It was just alright. The space is quite small and obviously very popular, so it’s quite packed and loud. The food was no better than a chain-brunch place but with artisan-niche brunch place prices. Nonetheless, the staff was friendly and accommodating!

Hands down, probably the best breakfast I’ve ever had. It was so, so delicious! Also, the menu offers plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options and the drinks list is extensive. I got the Oreo-raspberry french toast and mulled rapple (which is a ginger-apple-raspberry drink that’s heavy on the ginger) and it was divine. I will try to recreate the dish at home. The staff are SO nice and helpful, and it’s just a really great place to catch something to eat. Food comes quickly, and even when it’s filled with people it isn’t that noisy. Such a lovely place.

Love this place. The service ist great. The staff is very friendly and willing to fulfil your wishes. The coffee tastes really good. If you want they put grated chocolate on top of your cappuccino which makes it almost a dessert. For vegans they have different types of plant based milk alternatives. I highly recommend this place!

Despite the name my cup was quite full. And then quickly became empty.

Perfect place for brunch. Me and my friends we loved it there! Thank you!

Food was good, coffee good and the guy who served our table was excellent. The manager on shift however was perhaps having a rather bad day (early morning start on a Sunday, anyone?) and not very welcoming or hospitable. It was quite unusual and abrasive, negatively impacting our experience as a result.

Was looking forward to this but was disappointed. Overall it was alright but it doesnt have a wow factor. I ordered an oat flat white, the veggie full English and the french toast. The coffee was average.My eggs were cold and they only gave half a piece of toast. The french toast was better but again nothing too special.Not sure I understand the hype around this place. I came on a monday morning and there was a queue outside which is hard to understand.

Excellent coffee (make sure you get the grated chocolate on your cappuccino) and delicious range of brunch food. Big portions and good veggie options. Expect a long queue for weekend brunch, but it's worth it when you get your food!
