I went there yesterday and it’s literally the best lasagna I’ve ever consumed, I’m still thinking about how I’m going to go back there and eat this scrumptious meal again

I had to get a quick bite before visiting the British museum and this was the perfect place. A wide selection of paninis stuffed with many ingredients. 100% worth trying

I had my first mini British breakfast here, accompanied with nice service. although I had it indoors, the view is quite nice for a tourist like me. I feel quite lucky especially considering there is some construction work on the road in front just after a few days.

Food was perfect and great prices for the area service was great will be coming back again

I visit the UCLH every 6 months and always have a beautiful meal, coffee, drinks and biscuits at Presto Cafe. Their salmon, avocado, scrambled egg on toast with pepper is always perfectly made. The service and value for money are amazing when you consider where Cafe Presto is located. If you ever are in the vicinity, give this brilliant local business your time and money! They are always busy, which is the best indication of how really good they are.

We was looking for somewhere for breakfast and came across this Cafe. We thought we would give it a go and wow!! For such a small cafe we was not expecting the service we got, the food was incredible, the food I wanted wasn’t on the menu but they went out of there way to make it for me, I had my 4 year old son with me and they where very accommodating with him. The service from the lady and man that worked there was outstanding!! I highly recommend a visit if your in the area. I will definitely return on my next visit to London. Thank you so much to the staff there you have an amazing Cafe, you finished off our trip home perfectly.

One of the best places for lunch around- delicious sandwiches, great value and friendly service. They'll even make you a fresh sandwich of your choice if you ask nicely, so great for people with food intolerances!

Our department at UCL have ordered pizzas and sandwiches from Caffe Presto numerous times and the food is always of high quality and well enjoyed by our staff. If you are looking to cater for small or large groups of people at work, Caffe Presto is a great choice. They have a wide offering, including many vegetarian and vegan options. I would not hesitate to recommend.
