It’s all change at the Foyles cafe. Ray’s Jazz has moved upstairs, leaving this perennially popular second-floor lunch spot with double the space in which to scatter mismatched wooden chairs, tables and a handful of leather sofas. All of which means you’re more likely to find a seat at which to savour the sandwiches, artisanal quiches or own-made soups; there are also cakes galore, many of them suitable for vegans, and the range of teas and coffees is second to none. Yet there’s no denying the fact that – ongoing live jazz performances and the occasional decorative record sleeve notwithstanding – the loss of all that vinyl has turned what once felt like a culturally edgy meeting place into a pretty conventional café.

Great cafe. Can get on the busy side with lots of table sharing but once you get over that it's got great coffee, a good selection of teapigs, and some rather enjoyable sandwiches/side salads. Great for reading/studying. Not sure what Timeout are smoking with 2 stars.

Not sure I agree with TimeOut on this. I miss the old Ray's Jazz too, but the cafe is excellent, definitely deserves more than 2 stars. Friendly staff and best coffee I've had in Soho (having worked there 7 years!) On the downside food is a bit on the pricey, but heh that's Central London I guess.
