Watchhouse Somerset House

We were there at a brunch and unfortunately we were not so satisfied. We had pancakes, avocado toast and coffees. Pancakes were quite dry because of really small amount of coconut yogurt that wasn’t enaugh for six pancakes at all. Avocado toast was tasty but the bread was little bit hard to chew. Quite expensive. Coffee was fine. Service and the place was nice.

I love the whole feeling of this coffee shop 🤎 First of all their coffee is 10/10 and their pastry and baked goods are delicious. We tried the matcha cookie and chocolate tartine w salted caramel, highly recommend them both. The place has also a very warm and calm atmosphere indoors and the feeling continues outdoors too, as the place is a neighbour of Somerset House.

Coffee with a purpose!😍💜 It's so unique to come across such concept. As they have no franchise as similar to the other with respect to the ordinary place one could imagine. It brings that unique space to life as if it's telling you a story from the past with much historical value. After conversing with one of the people at WatchHouse Somerset, I came to know that one the rooms belong to a king and that's exactly where you sit and enjoy is so much fascinating. Not just an ordinary coffee but the coffee with unique taste giving recognition to it's bearer who grew it from places like Columbia to Costa Rica. I tried the brunch which was amazing. Felt bit expensive but every penny you invest is worth to treat yourself once a week. ;) And I also tried the hot chocolate which was yummy! It's a shame that I didn't try the coffee, but I'll definitely do in my next visit. Try the banana bread toasted! Ginger loaf💜 and Hot chocolate 😋

I came for the competition quality coffee, and I was not disappointed. They include a batch brew and a palette cleanser with the high level pour over. It was fantastic. Definatly worth the premium price if you love great coffee. I ordered the finca Heartman natural. Great sweet fruity flavors balanced and nice body. No bitterness (as expected), and a balanced brightness I also ordered eggs Benedict. Nice presentation, the bread was a little too crispy for my taste, and I found the pork flavor a little overpowering. All in all tho, I am a super picky F@#$er, and was happy enough with it. Service was fantastic. They took the time to explain everything, and answered questions. More importantly they really knew their stuff. Sooooo often baristas have no idea, really, about good coffee, technique etc. Here they seem to be much better educated. Cudos to the management for prioritizing this.

I would give 5 stars (even though the desserts were quite …) because of great savory dishes, drinks, and services provided. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly and polite. All had smiles on their faces. Both outer and interior designs were very pretty. We also had a chance to take a look at King’s College’s campus from the outside, which was a plus. We ordered truffle oil sourdough open sandwich with poached eggs, avocado salmon poached eggs sourdough, and hollandaise egg Benedict with english muffins. We all enjoyed the dishes. Cappuccino was very nice, too; it was lightly roasted coffee beans, harmonized with milk and foam. We also ordered desserts afterwards, which included lemon cake, coffee and walnut financier, and egg tart. I must say they didn’t suit our tastes.

This place is a gem!! Beautiful, cozy, with excellent quality of coffee and delicious brunch options. I tried the avocado toast with poach egg, spinach and mushrooms. The quality of each ingredient was evident in every bite! Finish it with a Hot Chocolate! Trying it with the Oat milk they serve, is a must! Lastly the staff was exceptional. I was served by Mark! Best Host ever! Always smiling and with the best attitude. You can see their passion at what they do! Well done WH Summerset House ❤️
