Cuisine De By Poilane

Their cakes taste of nothing. We had a table near their kitchen where food was all over the floor. Will not recommend at all.

A nice café, the staff were friendly if not very attentive, and the sandwiches were very tasty but rather expensive for what they were. We went in the evening but I imagine it would be a better place for lunch.

Lovely interior too and perfect location for local RBKC residents. Service can be a little hit and miss at peak morning hours but I still come back regularly for a coffee alone (takeaway) or a brunch in the restaurant with the wife. Ver carta

If you happen to be near sloane square Chelsea then Poilane is a convenient cafe with a good design and usually a good buzz. The menu is very snack and based on their famous sour dough. There is also some salads and cakes. All in all it works and probably the best cafe around

We went for a late breakfast and ordered a salmon egg dish which came with a side salad. My friend's salad had unfortunately a long hair and we asked it to be replaced. The waiter took it only to bring back the same salad and pieces of bread! Toilets are dirty too. Disappointing and expensive for what is was...

A relaxed cafe-style place with very good breakfast and very tasty open sandwiches for lunch. The jams are made on the premises and make an excellent accompaniment to the sour dough toast at breakfast. Alternatively, try the egg and soldiers! For lunch, try the toasted avocado and chilli open sandwich. The coffee is excellent. Ver carta

I always go to Poilane solo, witn family and friends. I love their food; however, service was below expectations. A server sat me down but no one came to take my order for 20 minutes. I ended up leaving very disappointed. In summary, service needs major improvement there especially when the place is busy!!! I don't know when I will start going back but for now, I would rather spend my money somewhere else!

We popped in here before the Chelsea Flower Show. The coffee machine was broken which was a let down but we decided to stay as the food was usually good. The service however was sub-standard; unfriendly and downright rude. No one bothered with us except to deliver our meals and even that was done in perfunctory and indifferent manner. I’ve eaten here many times before but standards, including the food sadly, appear to have skipped. Disappointing.

Had coffee, poilane toast and a croissant here recently. The 6 small hard slices of toast came with a very small portion of butter. We asked for some more, couldn't believe when looking at our bill they had the audacity to charge 50p for 2 more small squares. The amount of butter they gave to start with wouldn't have covered 2 slices of toast!. Needed butter as the toast was so hard. The coffee and jam were good. Had been before but not for a little while. Would we return, think there are better options around. The staff were very pleasant Ver carta
