Roni's Bakery - Hampstead

Had the best porridge ever here with banana and cinnamon. My son had tricolour which is poached egg on avocado on sourdough. Two of these proved too much with the mozzarella and tomato. I bought a bagel and some homemade jammy dodgers, which were a bit soft for my liking. Definitely a good eatery, inside or out.

Very generous portions and fresh ingredients! Recommend the Giant Ronnie Bagel- salmon, cream cheese and red onion, toasted with salad on the side

The staff was kind but the prices here are ridiculous. This cost me £16. They charged me £4 extra to eat in (why?) and also added another service charge. The sandwich was falling apart and was tiny. The salad did not look appetising at all. Won’t be coming back.

Got some cannoli and I was very disappointed - they are the very sweet, glazed, hard ones that you can buy in a box from some conershops, nothing fresh about them. But they are presented individually in the shop right next to their cakes. I attach an example picture of the boxed one I am referring to and the one I bought from them. I paid £2.5 a piece at this place. Horrible human beings! Oh, the seller also wrote down one extra cannoli which I thought was by mistake - or was it?

I’ve stopped by this café a few times for take-away coffee and pastries. The coffee is just okay, and while the pastries taste decent, they’re a bit overpriced for the quality. What really puts me off though is the staff - they’ve been consistently unwelcoming every time I’ve visited. A smile or a friendly greeting would go a long way but unfortunately that’s never been the case here. Overall, not the most pleasant experience.

£27 for a ration-sized salt beef sandwich, a bowl of unremarkable (McCain?) chips, and a lemon and mint drink which tasted mostly of water. Call me old fashioned, but I like to feel happy after I’ve eaten. And I expect to feel less happy after I’ve paid. But not by this much.

Rip off for food, really sub standard slat beef sandwich for a higher price than many specialists a short walk away. Said it was rye bread for the sandwich, clearly wasn’t. The “Roni’s chips” were the cheap frozen chips, only good thing about it was the portion, if you like a lot of bad chips. Don’t waste your money and just go down the road.

Went to Roni’s in Hampstead for lunch with my daughter today. She had the quinoa salad, I ordered shakshuka (which already comes with toast) and we had a few drinks (juice, Coke, and coffee). The bill came to almost £49, which felt steep for what we ordered. What really stood out was being charged £3.95 for a basket of bread I never had. I did ask for one extra toast with my shakshuka, but they billed it as though I’d ordered a whole side of bread. When I challenged it, they reduced it to £2.95, but that still meant almost £3 for a single slice of toast (!). I get that Hampstead is pricey, but that’s taking the biscuit. Add in the poor attitude from staff (as I’ve experienced on a previous visit too), and that was the last straw. Not coming back.

A wonderful selection of pastries, bagels, and premade bites! The beet salad is divine and incredibly refreshing. A great little gem.

Accommodating staff, able to allow for larger groups. Unusual layout to the store, felt quite busy despite not having many people there at the time. Breakfast was enjoyable albeit served on an unnecessarily large plate. Would recommend to those in the area as not many other similar places (Gail's doesn't have the range of food and others lack seating space).

Food ok. Humus ok. Not the best I had. But you order a humus. They give you a small peace of pita. And when I ask for more pita. You can't eat humus with out it. They say. 1.75 for more pita. Crazy. Greedy. Never again. I will not recommended that place

Great breakfast/brunch bakery & patisserie restaurant. Excellent menu, coffee and bakery products. Good service and reasonable prices. Somewhat cramped inside, but that's all part of the charm of Hampstead life.

We've used Hampstead Roni on & off for years. But last week we purchased some humus, it has gone off. Fridge issue? Today I wanted a drink and get some biscuits. But I went to the bathroom first. A shock. The stairs are filthy, the bathroom very badly kept, dirty, even the door itself. As I waited my turn for the bathroom, the sight of the kitchen was awful, disorganised and disgusting. Food debris and waste everywhere. Old aluminium foil badly lining cooking stations. One person refilling some half empty mayo bottles, pushing the mayo in with ungloved fingers. Some dropped on the floor and was not tidied up. Health & safety? I will absolutely not go there again. The Swains lane branch is sharp front of house, but I have not seen it's kitchen! Does not even deserve 1 star.

We had not been to Roni's in over a year and had forgotten how good the food was. Besides the delicious food the service was also excellent. I am so pleased we went back again and look forward to our next visit. John I

I only had a drink there, so can't really comment on the food. I drank a Chai latte, which was quite good. However, I was pretty disappointed with the attitude of some of the staff. The male waiter who served me was particularly rude and unfriendly. Also, children screaming in nearby tables doesn't fit my concept of a pleasant cafe environment (although considering the neighbourhood where Roni's is located, it was to be expected). Not sure I'll return...

A new addition to the walk up to Hampstead caught our eye, so fellow yelper Vickie and I popped in for work lunch. An interesting and quite diverse menu spans the tastes of mini burgers, all-day breakfasts, pastas and yes, baked goods. I went with a Mediterranean breakfast which kind of reminds me of how I behave when I eat breakfast on holidays in hotels, a bit of this, bit of that, but it all worked together- Eggs, tuna, tahini, salad, slices of cheddar, brie, bread, it's a mini buffet for one. Our nearby diners had the salmon breakfast platter which looked amazing and gave us a bit of food envy. There's something for any time of day, and a couple of outside seats so you can watch the traffic and dogs go by, a great cafe and good value for money!

Nice premises, really friendly staff, and OMG their shakshuka. Their shakshuka is sooooooo good. So good that while I've breakfasted there a bunch of times I can't review any of their other food, cause man the shakshuka is all you need. Also really great coffee there.

Food - the croissants are surprisingly crusty on the outside, doughy and soft in the inside. Cappuccino was light in flavor but foam was good. Service - very very friendly and fast

One of few options for breakfast/brunch in the area but sadly we were quite disappointed and won't be back. We order the royale and florentine Benedicts - the bread (both brioche and bagel) was dry and tasteless and the eggs were a bit watery. The lady who served us was quite strange and unfriendly and the staff kept propping the door open to serve the outside table on a day it was just about 0 degrees! Fine if you're brave enough to sit outside but we chose to sit inside hoping for some warmth!
