Very nice place with good coffee and plenty of type of pastries, very kind service and an incredible selection of books and games in the shop. We didn't have the time to see the exhibitions but we'll definitely come back.

Visited the Welcome Collection on a rainy Monday 30/09/2024 wishing to see an exhibition or two only to discover they're always closed on Mondays! The staff on duty were really lovely and so helpful Instead we went to the cafe for hot drinks and to the shop. The shop's great and always worth a visit but the cafè invariably has really slow baristas and many people were hanging around waiting for their orders.

I had the carrot cake, which was very tasty. If I can pick on something, it would be that the frosting was very sugary. From what I could see, they only had two vegan cakes and one falafel wrap as vegan offerings. Great museum concept, but the café is nothing special. This might be because I'm a tourist, but £4,95 for an average sized slize of cake sounds excessive to me. Staff didn't care much.

I love this café. The food, service, and location are great. The A/C is also amazing here, which is great given how hot it is out at the moment.
