Notes Coffee Roasters & Bar | Kings Cross

Quite expensive as you have to pay extra to eat in plus pay for service on top of that ( as it’s table service). Came to around £20 for 2 drinks and 2 cakes!

It was a chilly day and this place advertised a rum hot chocolate outside so we thought we would try it out. When we entered we thought it was a cafe where you order at the till so we waited at the till for a short while. Then a member of staff asked a group who came in after us if they would like a table, ignores us and asked two people directly in front of us if they would like a table. When we had been seated for a while, no one came by to take our order so I stared to make my way to the till. A staff saw me and made their way to our table. We ordered 2 rum hot chocolates, slice or carrot cake and a chocolate cookie which came to almost £30! I realised this was because on their display, the eat in prices are in a very small print compared to take out. Also, an OPTIONAL service charge was added to our bill but the person who took my payment failed to mention this. The food and drinks were definitely not worth the price. The cake was dry, cookie was salty and the rum hot chocolate tasted worse the more we drank it. Would not recommend. In my opinion it’s called notes because they take all your notes and you get nothing in return😐

Great. I’ve been here a couple of times over the past 10 days and the place never disappointed — service is quick, very friendly and food arrives swiftly. It’s typically packed with people given the nearby offices, but still they make an extra effort to treat you nice and serve you good things out of the kitchen. I’ve even seen people having a brunch there on tapas; haven’t tried those myself but looked good.

why i gave 3 stars is because we ordered iced vanilla latte and the coffee itself doesn’t taste good, tastes bad quality band way too much syrup was added and the syrup also tasted super artificial. also ordered the goats cheese on toast which was good and service from staff was good. overall, bad coffee for a place that markets itself as a coffee shop

Service charge for what? We were seen to a table outside, waited 10 minutes to order, and another 15 minutes for our coffee to arrive after having to chase it up. When I asked why the bill didn’t add up, he relied “well it is quite expensive here”…

They refunded the service charge, but £16 for 2 lots of coffee and cake (it was pretty good, tbh) just can’t be justified when there’s so much choice around
