Even though it's a small cafe we found it very organised considering the huge number of visitors. The panini with tuna it was very tasty and served with salad and crisps for 8.50 considering that only the crisps are 1.50 at Tesco's and the Red velvet cake was delicious for 5.95 cheaper than High street Kensington were I bought one take away for 6.50. The staff very young but they were trying their best to be attentive with all customers being very patient with all the demands.
The sandwich cabinet was between the service counter and the toilets so there was always a knot of people restricting your choice. The staff on the counter were bored and dismissive. We ordered 2 croque monsieur and were told to ‘look out’ for them. Just as well we did - they were just slammed down on the counter and left there. If we’d been in the garden we’d have had cold food and at £9 a shot that’s appalling! Wouldn’t eat there again!
My family and I had a lovely experience at the cafe. The cakes and cookie were absolutely delicious. My son is very particular about cookies, for him “It was the best cookie ever”. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. We are looking forward to visiting again.
Spent £11 on two watered down iced coffees and a dry cookie. Never had a worse cafe experience to be honest. Coffee was basically water. Prêt and Costa are worlds above this cafe, which is saying something. Even if you’re hungry or thirsty, it’s worth the walk yo go somewhere else.
I have enjoyed food from Kensington Palace Café on several occasions, but my recent takeaway experience truly stood out. The seasonal watermelon and goats cheese salad was a revelation. This combination was surprisingly refreshing and delicious, especially on a hot weekend! What consistently impresses me is the unfailingly polite and attentive staff. Their dedication to ensuring guests are satisfied resonates with me, making each visit a genuinely pleasing experience.
Just exquisite. We had toured the palace on a different day but the guy at the door was wonderful about letting us run in and get dessert and to the bathroom. This amazing dessert was an "Eaton Mess Berry Cake." Another woman and I laughing about "most elegant Eaton Mess ever." And the taste was MAGNIFICENT. Loved the Rose Lemonade. And on a sunny but cool breezy day what better place to be than the gardens just outside Kensington Palace having delicious snack.
We got tea here, as well as rosé, lunch sandwiches and a slice of cake. It was rather expensive and the sandwiches were honestly a little plain, but the cake slices were divine and the tea was served in bone china which feels nice and fancy. The cafe itself is very comfortable, it's basically in the gift shop, and it gets plenty of natural light.
