Overcharged. Made a small order- 4 drinks and 2 packets of crisps. We swapped one of the drinks - originally we asked for a hot chocolate but changed that to a coke. £25... I asked to see the receipt which was begrudgingly handed over to me. The sales assistant had added the coke but hadn't removed the hot chocolate. I pointed this out and they just stared at me. When I insisted, I was refunded the cost in cash. I then pointed out that I had Neen charged for 2 orange juices, despite only having one. Again, long silent stare and then more coins were dropped in my hand. Then I asked why my Corona was shown as a 'Pale Ale', to which I was told "Same price. Same price". I gave up, said my thanks and then walked back to my table. Once there, I looked at the coins in my hand and I could see that my refund was £1 short. Life is too short- I didn't bother to go back. To summarise - rude, unhelpful and numerically challenged staff.

Visiting the Natural History Museum, stopped off for a coffee at the Deli Cafe, located at the back near the Darwin Egg building. Very nice Café Latte - though as you'd expect London Prices! Friendly helpful staff. Only issue was that the tables were very dirty, covered in crumbs and the relics of other peoples food and hadn't been cleaned in a while.

We visited the museum today and this cafe. The cafe was not the cleaneast, and we had to wipe over our own table. My children had a pack lunch from here and the roll was quite dry and hard. I originally wondered if this was because it was in the fridge. However, on reflection maybe it was just stale, as the child who ate it has been throwing up since 4am. The other child didnt even want his...(cant say i blame him!). I had a cheese and ham baguette, the ham was a bit hard on the edges, so had been sat a while and also their was mustard in my baguette which wasn't listed upon ordering. So if you have allergies, and you dont want your london trip ruined id avoid this cafe! It was so vile and the worst £30 i've ever spent!

22.11.21 purchased a coffee and swiped my card and was informed the payment had not registered, waitress insisted the payment didn't register so I inserted my card and pin number as requested. Charged twice on my bank statement so paid £6.80 for a cup of coffee, be careful when making payments at this cafe.

We have visited the museum today and have stopped at the cafe. I couldn?t appreciate the coffee but the carrot cake and vegan cake were surprisingly tasty.

We stopped for a drink before leaving the museum, it was very busy but fine for a quick rest and reasonably priced with choice of snacks.

We were not the only ones as we were asked by someone else how to queue. No signposted properly, people hanging about so people got served before they were due to. No proper control. A measly small cup of cholate was lukewarm & cost - £3.50, disgusting.

We stopped here for some lunch around noon on 31/10/20. I'm writing this review as I wanted to give a specific mention to the gent with the beard who works in the cafe. The cafe was really busy with only 2 staff members on serving and 1 on clearing. He was working his absolute socks off and was extremely efficient, but still took the time to talk with all customers and was very friendly. He also looked to be training a new member of staff, talk about multi-tasking! We both opted for a sandwich with 2 salad sides, which easily kept us going till tea time and were very tasty. Food was pretty fairly priced, with 2 lunches and 2 drinks coming to around £20.

I usually eat outside the museum but because my son was very hungry we decided to stop here.... Food was very expensive and my bacon sandwich was so dry and very small ?. I would suggest to try the Deli café or next to the south Kensington there are better places.

They aren't very accommodating of dietary requirements and the staff don't really care about their customers. Not the best selection of food either.

Ate here after going to see the excellent Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. I had the best piece of carrot cake I think I've ever eaten, the icing on top was delicious and creamy and not too sweet. The cup of tea was also lovely, I went for a what I think was a green tea, it was floral and sweet. If anyone from the Central Cafe reads this and can tell me what make of tea you serve and the flavours I would be most grateful as I'd love to buy some for home.
