Filo — Restaurant in London

I love croissants and I tried many in South Kensington, but none compare to the quality of the croissants at Filo. They are crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Two of my favorites are Croque Monsieur and the Pistachio and Raspberry croissants.

The Croque Monsieur has slices of turkey and a special handmade cheese that if you ask them to warm it for you, it will just melt in your mouth. You'll love it!

I am not a fan of turkey meat, but this turkey meat doesn't taste like turkey. It tastes like a nice moist slice of ham. The combination of the handmade cheese, turkey and the crispiness of the croissant is to die for.

The Pistachio and Raspberry Croissant is also amazing. They slice it in half and inside you will be delighted by a heavenly, pistachio almond cream, raspberry gel, caramelised pistachios, pistachio ganache, whilst the outside is topped with pistachio almond cream, roasted pistachio amd sesame tuile.

I also tried their sticky cinnamon bun with an intriguing flavor. I won't reveal its mysterious flavor. You will just have to pop in and taste it!

Filo is now one of my favorite hang outs as it has the perfect croissants, the perfect capuchino and an amazing staff always ready to greet me with a smile every time I stop by.

I highly recommend you...

8月1日对于商家回复的更新：这是一家非常不诚信的小店。对于商家的回复让我变得很愤怒。非常不好的一次体验。差评这家店铺擅自添加小费的不止我一个，说明他们就是惯犯。店内监控可以证明，明明没有任何服务，明明没有任何询问我是否愿意付小费，就擅自骗取了小费，怎么还居然在狡辩说我同意了。我哪里知情？？真的非常不诚实。不管小费是1.44英镑还是144英镑，就不应该在顾客不知情的情况下骗取，这是不道德的行为。何况我不住在伦敦，如何再来退小费？就这个态度，我也不敢来啊，你们能确保我的人生安全吗？这是整个英国最差的体验，没有之一。

August 1st update regarding the merchant's response: This is a very dishonest shop. The merchant's response made me very angry. It was a very bad experience. I am not the only one who had additional tips added without consent, which shows that they are repeat offenders. The store's surveillance can prove that there was clearly no service and no inquiry asking if I was willing to pay a tip, yet they deceitfully added it and even lied saying I agreed to it. It is really dishonest. Regardless of whether the tip is £1.44 or £144, it should not be deceitfully taken from customers without their knowledge, which is unethical behavior. Moreover, since I don't live in London, how can I come back to get the tip refunded? With such an attitude, I don't dare to come back. Can you ensure my safety? This is the worst experience in the UK, bar none.

Actualización del 1 de agosto respecto a la respuesta del comerciante: Esta es una tienda muy deshonesta. La respuesta del comerciante me enfureció mucho. Fue una experiencia muy mala. No soy el único al que le agregaron una propina sin consentimiento, lo que demuestra que son reincidentes. La vigilancia de la tienda puede probar que claramente no hubo servicio ni consulta preguntando si estaba dispuesto a pagar una propina, sin embargo, la agregaron engañosamente e incluso mintieron diciendo que yo había aceptado. Realmente es muy deshonesto. Independientemente de si la propina es de £1.44 o £144, no debería tomarse engañosamente de los clientes sin su conocimiento, lo cual es un comportamiento poco ético. Además, dado que no vivo en Londres, ¿cómo puedo regresar para que me devuelvan la propina? Con esta actitud, no me atrevo a volver. ¿Pueden garantizar mi seguridad? Esta es la peor experiencia en el Reino Unido, sin ninguna duda.

————————下面是当天消费后的评价 这家咖啡厅吃相非常难看，就是买了2杯咖啡1个肉桂包，坐了五分钟左右，全程没有任何服务，要了我1.44磅的服务费。最恶心的是服务员自动加了小费，也不主动给小票。付完费才看到小票上多付了12.5%的服务费。英国本来就是服务费加在菜单里，没有小费文化的，这么舔着脸骗服务费不觉得太恶心了吗？何况咖啡和面包中规中矩。服务费我认可你的服务，愿意给你才能要，但你不能坑蒙拐骗。更何况是连个普通学生都不放过，买2杯咖啡1个面包都要骗服务费，真是穷疯了！

This café's behavior is utterly disgraceful. I only bought two cups of coffee and one cinnamon bun, sat for about five minutes, and received no service at all. Yet, they charged me £1.44 for a service fee. The most disgusting part is that they automatically added a tip and didn't even offer a receipt. After paying, I had to ask for the receipt, and only then did I see that I was overcharged with an additional 12.5% service fee. The UK typically includes service charges in the menu prices and doesn't have a tipping culture. Isn't it disgusting to shamelessly scam customers for a service fee? Especially when the coffee and pastry were just mediocre.

El comportamiento de esta cafetería es absolutamente vergonzoso. Solo compré dos tazas de café y un bollo de canela, me senté durante unos cinco minutos y no recibí ningún servicio en absoluto. Sin embargo, me cobraron £1.44 por una tarifa de servicio. La parte más repugnante es que agregaron automáticamente una propina y ni siquiera ofrecieron un recibo. Después de pagar, tuve que pedir el recibo, y solo entonces vi que me habían cobrado de más con una tarifa de servicio adicional del 12.5%. En el Reino Unido, generalmente se incluyen los cargos por servicio en los precios del menú y no existe una cultura de propinas. ¿No es repugnante estafar descaradamente a los clientes por una tarifa de servicio? Especialmente cuando el café y el bollo eran...

Visited today, this place is highly rated and for very good reason! They've only been open a couple of months and people are already raving about them in their reviews! This is what attracted us, as well as the pics of their pastry counter 😂😍

We had the sharing platter which was absolutely delish 😋 I had a pistachio latte which was amazing. We shared a cinnamon bun and I think it's one of the best I've ever had. My partner and I like a cinnamon bun, we've eaten a lot in our time but the one from here is unlike any I've had before, in a good way! The topping was orange cream cheese which I've never seen on a cinnamon bun before! These guys are doing something different! My pics are quite red because we sat by this really cool sign 😂

We also got some goodies to take away, there were other things we wanted to try! My partner opted for some baklava, and I had a tiramisu danish. Both incredible! We also got to try their mushroom and truffle pastry! Pictured is my half 😁 as a bit of a truffle fiend I was super happy with this!

Nothing was too much trouble and they were very generous, we were very well looked after! I'm actually really sad we aren't local, we may try and squeeze in another visit before...
