Truly fantastic place for brunch. Absolutely delicious and fresh. Coffee was watery not the best nor the worst I’ve had.

Great place for a morning meeting or catching up with some work over a cup of chai tea latte or fresh squeezed juice. Cheerful service and well proportioned interior. The salads look good! Hope to come back to try them.

To start this, I need to mention that I'm an American black coffee drinker. So with that in mind this was the best cup of coffee I got during an entire 3 week trip around the UK. Specifically the Tall Black I think it was called. My wife got a vanilla latte and was quite pleased with it and the food is good, but all of that was over shadowed by the sheer joy of finally having a coffee well above "meh". I feel like I'm doing a bad job selling this place but it was good. My only regret is not finding it sooner. Nothing against my hotel's breakfast set up, this was just way better.

A great brunch place near Waterloo. Lots of options for your breakfast whichever way you prefer it. I really liked their Turkish style poached eggs on toast.

What a fantastic lunch. I hade Peri Peri Chicken with some different salads. The salads were absolutely amazing, I'm not sure I needed the chicken (and I like chicken). The chicken was moist, nicely flavoured without being over powering. There was quite a queue but this moved very quickly. I will definitely be back and strongly recommend, especially the variety of good salads.

Good food, breakfast all day available, a giant salad buffet, tea, coffee and a very relaxed and neighbourhood atmosphere, a lot of things can be found at Balance Cafe in Lower Marsh Market in Waterloo. The staff are lovely and helpful. Varied clientele, hip decoration.

Came across this secret before we went to the BFI south bank, the place is a small hide away from the busy streets, take a menu, find a seat, order at the bar and the wait time… 5 minutes!! The staff are attentive and care about your order! The gent who served me repeated each item I ordered which I think is great! Again we only waited 5 minutes and our food was at our table! Shout out the chefs!!! The pastries looked incredible and was a great treat to have while watching the film. This secret is on our list now anytime we come back to London! Thank you Balance team for being welcoming, creating the calm atmosphere (I’m autistic and didn’t feel overwhelmed or stressed!) and creating a menu to suit everyone! If you have a family this is a great place to come as well!

Great Balance breakfast! Great breakfast which explains why it is so busy, luckily we managed to get an outside table. Amazing eggs and sausage, 5 for food but bacon was on the American side. The other food we saw all looked good as well. They did forget our hot drinks until we mentioned it when our food came out, we had purchased cold drinks and it was rectified quickly.
