The Lowdown

Amazing brunch and coffee. Im very particular about the coffee I drink and I really enjoyed their oat flat white. Creative menu with interesting flavours. We tried the pineapple and mascarpone pancakes and loved them!! Great aesthetics, downstairs is more of a bar vibe in my opinion but offers plenty of seating (upstairs is limited seating). Would go again!

So glad I decided to go inside and have brunch here. Their pancakes are definitely a must if you’re craving for hot, fluffy and filling pancakes (or if you’re simply looking for something sweet to start the weekend vibe), then GO FOR IT!! I’m usually quite picky about pancakes since I’m a crazy pancake lover and I do prefer soft and fluffy pancakes rather than dry ones, but theirs did not fail me of course! The pancakes went very well with the creamy mascarpone and poached pineapples. The almond flakes on top definitely brings the taste to a better level, adding some extra flavour. If you’re tired of berries pancakes, it’s worth trying something different and special (not berries!) The coffee was good as well. And everyone here was super nice and friendly. Would recommend to give it a try if you’re around Covent Garden.

Found this little coffee shop near my hotel. Took a chance and was glad I did. Coffee was amazing, just what I needed in the morning. Food was good as well. Too bad they don’t have the coffee beans for sale, otherwise, I would’ve brought some home with me. Definitely give it a try.

It was a nice little cafe that had a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the food was good. Seems like a good place to grab your light morning breakfast.

The Lowdown is one of fairly few quality brunch spots around Covent garden so this was a nice experience. The service was particularly wonderful and the staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming. We had eggs Benny and the chicken bun and while I liked the combination of flavours, the food was quite average unfortunately. The coffee on the other hand was great.

Very cute place with good food & great service. We got the avocado toast, kimchi sandwich, & the choritzo dish (forgot the names). They were all very good but I think I would have preferred larger portions for the price.

Probably one of the most pleasant and most wholesome experiences I have had at a coffee shop in London! From the second I walked by the cafe I was not only pulled in by the lovely aroma of the cafe — but also the incredible friendliness of the staff and guests in general! I had a delicious flat white and went by my day while chatting with people around me. If you’re looking for a good cup of coffee, a small aesthetic cafe and an overall good environment to be in: this is it.

Scrumptious food, nice decoration and super nice waiters ! I highly recommend ! The chai lattes are super tasty and the potato waffle is on another level ! And don’t hesitate to buy yourself a muffin, they’re delicious !)
