Half Cup is an independent café at 100–102 Judd Street, between King’s Cross and St Pancras stations. The colourful, compact room provides a change of pace from the nearby transport hub, with indoor and outdoor tables for breakfast, brunch, lunch or coffee.
The kitchen builds its menus around seasonal produce, using ripe fruit, vegetables, herbs and citrus to keep the selection fresh through the year. Creative brunch plates sit alongside eggs, toast, sandwiches and other substantial daytime dishes.
Coffee is prepared with care and joined by tea, juices and cold drinks, while cakes and sweet brunch choices suit a shorter stop. The café can become busy and does not take reservations, so guests should be prepared to queue at popular weekend times.
Plant based and other dietary choices appear on the changing menu, but availability and recipes vary with the season. Guests with allergies should speak with staff before ordering and confirm the ingredients and kitchen practices for the day.
Address: 100–102 Judd Street, London WC1H 9NT, England
