Incredible tea and cakes! The atmosphere was amazing. In the summer it is wonderful to sit out overlooking the main square.

Stop in here for one of the best macaroons you will ever eat. This Paris transport has several outposts in London and the goods are as delicious as the treats you will get in Paris. The price tag isn't cheap, but you won't be disappointed.

I found the place a little grubby. The staff rude . I was squeezed onto a table for two when we were three persons. I ordered two pots of tea and macaroons . When I asked for a third cup I was told I had to order a third pot . So it was ok for me to be squeezed in a space for two but to get another cup I had to have three pots . When I challenged I was recited policy . When the manager left the waiter was down right rude in front of my guests . I even had to ask him not to be so rude. The next table was appalled.
Dreadful !!! Dreadful experience.
Plenty of other lovely tea places in London . I will never go again despite living less than 100 yards away
Expensive, dirty and rude and not what you normally associate with this Parisian brand ..

Never experienced such poor service in my life! Could over hear the waiters speaking about the customers and laughing. Never felt so uncomfortable in a place! Will definitely not be going back. Not worth the money!

Rude reception today when tried to sit and have cake and tea (only lunch allowed to sit down). This is a place I always visit and take away large boxes of macaroons but not any more shame on you ! Arrogant!

I am a local, and this is my favourite spot in Covent Garden, besides opera or ballet at the nearby Royal Opera House. Their ground level terrace outside is fine for glass of bubbles and people watching in the summer, their indoor space squashy and not particularly inspiring, but it's their balcony terrace that is well worth waiting for. I spend a lot of time here in colder months, as there are heaters outside and they give you blankets. Splendid view to the terrace of nearby Punch & Judy pub and it's full balcony (pure theatre), the licensed street performers on the ground in front of the church, I saw 3 excellent performances on my last visit. I always purposefully come at odd times, very late lunch, or not quite dinner and never had trouble getting an outdoor table right at the corner edge with the best view. I have always had decent service here, at least by Paris standards, if not London ones. On this last occasion for pre-ballet dining, I had their Laduree "kir royal", a pot of wonderful Josephine tea, their latest macaroon, and later their small but super tasty French Onion soup to warm up. It's a little secret this terrace, with the best view of Covent Garden market hall and surrounds, and it's spectacular late November and into Christmas because you get the view of the largest and most beautiful Christmas tree from your table. I love it.
PS have just adjusted my review having been back for 2-3 times since my above review. I dont know what happened but service has gone down the drain. So so poor! Disinterested, unhelpful, cold, inefficient, everything takes forever. Thus no longer 5 stars, 3 max.

Food the the same everywhere, where as the service here is horrible, took us 25 minutes to just take our food order, just imagine when did we get our food.
Not to mention sofa is dusty, chair was dirty,.

I still remember the first time I had a bite of the unforgettable macaroons..and the feast of all my senses, when I tasted the raspberry one..such a perfection..I don’t know how it is possible such delicious temptations to be created..but it is a fact and I am loving it and so happy that we are able to take advantage of that so sweet and not even making me feel guilty, sweetness!

Often a bit grubby but in an area of so much footfall that it is understandable

I did not think that there is anything more perfectly created in terms of flavour..texture and filling..when we talk about Laduree macarons! As much as I adore them, I am happy that I can’t indulge in their harmonious flavours so often..otherwise I would be ruining my diet on a regular base and breaking my bank too..as such a sweetness do not come too cheap, especially if you are greedy like me and are always wanting to try at least few different flavours per visit!

Overpriced. Was brought here by a friend and I will never come again. It's one for the bourgeois bohemians hoping to mimic the behaviours and eating habits of their economic superiors.

My friends and I love going to Ladurée together for a treat! We like to dress up for it, but many patrons seem quite casual so it seems to be OK to just drop in. Popular choices with our group are the Marie Antoinette tea, the Ispahan dessert, and the delicious rolled up croque monsieur. Ladurée has a lovely atmosphere and every seating area has its own unique charm. The conversation flows easily here and the food is superb. The staff are also very friendly and professional. I can't recommend Ladurée more, everyone deserves to try their macarons at least once in their life!

The macrons are to die for! We shared a pack of 8 macrons on Mothers Day. My favourites were raspberry and vanilla. I will definately be going back again and again for more macrons.

Ladurée... More like La-rudé-e. The lady working on the counter this afternoon paid particular attention to turning her nose up at my presence. I'm not sure if it was the teeth growing out of my nostrils, or my piss stained t-shirt that she took offense too, but her disdain was palpable.
Nonetheless a small price to pay for a damn fine macaroon.

Nice place to have a tar and a dessert with guest in London, especially appreciated by my girls who come to visit me. A bit on the expensive side, the cakes feel like too long in the fridge sometimes and the service is pretty slow, inefficient. Otherwise alright

Sweet heavens. These macaroons. I could just barely afford one small one with all the change I had in my pocket, but I gave in and bought a pistachio one. I never wanted that little macaroon-y piece of heaven to end, ever. I took tiny little bites to stop it from ever finishing. It was the best thing I have tasted in awhile.. and I can almost still taste it a week later. Any more than one will cost you an arm and a leg, but I'd give up *three* of my arms and at least one leg for another one of those. Absolutely worth a try at least one time in your life!

Very poor, so disappointing. I ordered a club sandwich and fries: sandwich was small and soggy, with one tiny scrap of burnt bacon laid on top of it - essentially a chicken and mayo sandwich for £18+. The fries were completely cold and, when I complained, the waiter took them away, only to return the _same_ fries to me moments later with extra salt added. This place is best avoided.

Very nice surroundings. Rich and delicious food. One of the cakes did have a fair amount of fluff on it but they replaced it without question.

Really cute, quaint Parisian bakery in the heart of Covent Garden. The storefront's really eye-catching, and the interior décor is lovely too. As soon as you go in, there's a counter where you can find their macarons on display. I think I saw more flavours out in the Ladurée in Burlington Arcade though.
My friend and I sat outdoors on the upstairs balcony, which overlooks the market where street performers frequent the street. The china our food and drinks were served on were so pretty. My cappuccino was nice, but my friend's hot chocolate was honestly The Best, so I'd rec that. It comes with cream, too.
My French toast was almost room temp when it came out, but it tasted amazing nevertheless. My friend had a pistachio religieuse (which I hadn't previously heard of) which tasted equally brilliant.
The service was great; efficient but polite, and they were patient when we needed time to decide. It's on the expensive side, so go for a treat on a less busy day.

Nice staff, but that is about it. Poor choice of macaroons, everything else is far too overpriced and my tart tatin was cold and cream on top of it was at room temperature. Would not recommend!

I haven't tried anything other than the macaroons, but Laduree isn't famous because of them for no reason - they were delicious, the salted caramel flavour was to die for !

My best bud Chloe introduced me too the pure delightful world of the Macaroon and these guys make the best chocolate ones I have ever tasted . Treat yourself too something a bit naughty with Macaroons and a hot chocolate too die for . The service is great and the gentleman mistook me for a lady and called me madam which was rather funny .Too be fair my bud and I where on the balcony snuggled up in furry throw overs , which I have too say is a fantastic idea and makes it a bit more of a treat . Sweet munchies ✌????
