This summer, my friend from the states and I planned to spend a day at the three museums (the Science Museum, the History Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum) before walking down to Harrods. A day spent in museums required a nice breakfast, and I have been wanting to try Muriel's Kitchen outside of South Kensington tube station for a couple of years now but never got around to it. We decided to go inside this restaurant-bakery combination to have a breakfast, and the baked goods were also very tempting. We both ordered the breakfast sandwiches.
The breakfast sandwich consists of egg, bacon, and avocado inside our choice of bread. The eggs could be cooked as we liked.
The restaurant/cafe is well-lit and in a prime corner location. The decor verges on homemade and vintage-style. I took a photograph of some plastic flowers in a tin bucket and salt and pepper shakers that I thought looked nice.
The window by the cash machine is filled with pastries and baked goods of all varieties - macaroons, cupcakes, muffins, cakes, cookies, meringues, and brownies.
I ordered a cupcake and a brownie to try. The cupcake still did not beat my favourite cupcake place in London (Morning Indulgence at Primrose Bakery), but the brownie was the best.
This is a place to return to and worth a stop for another day and another visit to the museums.
