   Went to this lovely wee coffee shop before our visit to Kew Gardens. The girl that served us was so welcoming and polite. Amazing customer service. I am celiac, and when I saw the g/f millionaire shortbread I had to have one ! I can honestly say it’s one of the best g/f cakes I have ever had. Just disappointed I done stay near this place so I could go back.

   Lovely little cafe along the cricket green just 5 minutes walk from Elizabeth Gate at Kew Gardens. Occupies the downstairs of what looks like an old pub and serves a fairly limited menu of delicious bakes in the morning, with the addition of paninis and a daily special salad/hot dish. Food runs out quite fast as it is popular with locals and passers-by alike. On the day I went, it was manned by two front of house young ladies, both friendly, helpful and efficient. They were helpful with making food suggestions as we were struggling to choose between all the enticing, delicious-looking bakes which were calling for us to pick them to accompany our coffees. Ended up choosing a sweet and a savoury, the ombre cake and a slice of cheese and tomato quiche. Both as good as each other in their relative categories, at the top of their games for texture, taste and appearance. Perhaps the quiche could have been heated in an air fryer or a mini grill type appliance instead of in a microwave, as the pastry suffered a bit of a hit despite initially being home made and flaky. The cafe is clean and well looked after, toilets just the same and appear very hygienic. It's small inside, with about 8 tables seating between 2 and 4 persons at each. Good range of soft drinks, juices and ice creams too. Coffees are fabulous, good range of milks (soy, oat, coconut) and very lovingly made. Available for drink-in and takeaway, both options popular. There are about the same number of tables outside, both areas pleasant and clean. Dogs are welcome, free dog biscuits for good pooches (only kidding, all welcome)!

   Lovely coffee place behind the nursery. The coffee was great, Angel cake is also yummy. But the main highlight is the friendliest service we ever got in London (today morning, 16/9/2025 - I don't know her name, but she deserves all the positive feedback!). Thank you!

   Stopped in today and had such a lovely experience! The staff member was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they were especially kind to my dog, which made the visit even nicer. The coffee was excellent, and the sweet treats were delicious.

   We had coffee here after a long walk through Kew Gardens, Lion Gate to Elizabeth Gate. Friendly, good coffee and the perfect spot before getting the bus or walking across Kew Bridge, as we did.

   Went for a Themes walk from Richmond to Putney Bridge and came to the sign by chance . Since we and the wife love coffee it was a must . It’s such a nice spot and the staff was so polite and yes the cakes are so good but so was the coffee .

   Pleasant place with potential but insanely expensive. They charge 30p for a dry slice of baguette and their portions are tiny. I was also over-charged and didn't realise until I got home - my fault for not checking the bill. Delicious cake but no repeat business here I'm afraid.
