Short black, long wait 29th January 2009

Great food- small portions and great produce.

Out of hours it is perfect for a snack - but in the mornings and at lunch time it all takes far too long. The layout is a bit pokey, but this is a place that needs a serious barista that can turn things around more quickly.

Great quirky brand, great food, good coffee, but I generally can't face going there as all that waiting makes me cranky!

first-rate coffee 26th November 2008

The sign outside says, modestly, "rather good coffee", and that drew me in. The coffee is excellent. It would be nice if there was a counter where one could drink it. The staff care about what they're doing.

Nice small portions but quite expensive 12th November 2008

I've only ever been to Reynolds once, and even though what I had was nice (a small portions of chicken noodle salad) I thought it was overpriced for the small portion.

Yes it's a great idea to have lots of small portions of salads, wraps, sandwiches etc but please also give them reasonable price tags.

This little eatery is top! Small portions of healthy and more importantly tasty food, brilliant coffee and wonderful service. I had the mini mezze, prawn and spinach salad and a double espresso- highly recommend all!

ps. not sure I want to mention the amazing brownies incase they sell out!

Great Coffee 8th March 2008

What a great little find this place is. Reynolds does small portions of food (which suits me as I eat all day!) but the coffee is great. I’ve tried to get decent coffee all over the west end and this is the best I’ve had so far. If you ask they even know how to make a flat white even though its not on the menu.

It’s a really nice friendly place and worth a visit if you want to get away from the faceless chains with their mediocre coffee.

Best Coffee in London and great food 8th March 2008

What a find! Finally somewhere in the West End which does a great cafe latte. The coffee is delicious.

Reynolds also serves great food much of it organic in small size portions. It's so much fun!

Great coffee and food combined also with friendly service makes this a favourite destination of mine and many at my office.

Bravo Reynolds 27th October 2007

One of the things I love about Reynolds is that all the food is made that day in the kitchen downstairs. It's all absolutely fresh.

Also, if it looks like your favorite sandwich has sold out, you only have to ask them to make another and they are more than happy to oblige.

Bravo Mr and Mrs Reynolds, you run rings around Prêt/Eat/Crush!!

Reynolds - out pret'ing pret 6th September 2007

Reynolds is a new sandwich/coffee shop with offerings along a similar line to that of Pret and Eat, but done with a smaller, family touch, and veering even further into foodie territory; think Belu water, BBC's (Bacon, Brie and Chutney) sandwiches and bread from Borough Market, rather than BLTs and Pret Cola.

Other than that, most immediate differentiation to the big two (other than being a small family business) is the emphasis on variety and light portions, for example selling half wraps, single sandwiches, and small, but perfectly formed baps for around the £1.30-1.50 a piece, as well as the more common full size, full price sarnies, wraps, and subs.

The produce is made in a steady stream throughout the day, so selection isn't as wide as Pret outside peak periods, but is likely to be fresher.

A real find, and great you're hungry on Oxford street and want to eat well, and eat ethically.
