Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

A visually charming Soho cafe with creative brunches and attentive staff, but high prices and inconsistent food/service quality mean it's best for those seeking atmosphere over value.

Why it gets a B for overall quality

Toi & Moi Cafe excels with exceptional setting appeal and strong service warmth, making it a worthwhile brunch destination for the Soho area. However, inconsistent dish execution and premium pricing relative to portion sizes prevent it from reaching higher grades. The creative menu and photogenic atmosphere deliver solid value for experience-focused diners, though food quality alone doesn't justify the premium.

Restaurant Summary

Toi & Moi Cafe is a visual delight in the heart of Soho, drawing crowds with its whimsical decor, cozy atmosphere, and a menu that puts a playful spin on classic brunch favorites. The space is adorned with Instagrammable touches like a wishing tree and flower arches, making it a favorite for those seeking both a memorable meal and a photogenic backdrop. Staff are frequently praised for their warmth and attentiveness, adding to the welcoming vibe that keeps the energy lively but never overwhelming. Culinarily, Toi & Moi leans into creative brunch fare—think pancakes layered with chocolate and rose petals, vegan and halal breakfast sets, and a parade of sweet and savory options that cater to a broad range of tastes. While the menu is inventive and visually appealing, execution can be hit-or-miss: some dishes dazzle with flavor and presentation, while others fall short on taste or portion size, especially given the premium Soho pricing. Value is fair for the location, but diners should expect to pay a bit more for the experience and setting than for the food alone. For families, Toi & Moi is a solid choice—pancakes, waffles, and simple egg dishes are perennial kid-pleasers, and the festive atmosphere makes it a fun spot for birthday breakfasts or casual gatherings. The current menu offers vegan, vegetarian, and halal options, so most dietary needs are covered. However, picky eaters or those seeking traditional comfort food may find the creative twists less appealing. Space can be tight during peak hours, so reservations are recommended for groups.
