Bookstore in London

“Located within the former Grade II Listed Library building leading onto an attractive garden. Contemporary minimalist interior that succeeds in being attractive, welcoming and unpretentious. Albeit a limited menu (vegan options) the quality, price and the service, WAY surpassed expectations. The coffee exemplary. Also a nuanced range of gifts, cards and miscellanea. Happenstance on the periphery of London. Readily recommended.”

“Food was excellent and service was great too. The pancakes were so good!! And the savoury options are excellent. We popped in for a coffee and stayed for brunch. It’s a great option in a very busy area with great interior.”

“I had issues with my bookings, and the support service by email was amazing and very understanding!”

“Lovely place, fully gluten free. Delicious cakes and croissants, I went back for more! Very friendly staff. The coffee was excellent too! I say this as a coffee snob!”

“Last 8 years we stay in touch with Alla Silajeva about all our immigration issues. From Temporary Resident Permit till British Passport. Alla has been extremely knowledgeable , demonstrating hi skills and professionalism . I am glad we met her and Thank you so much for everything you have done for us”

“It was the most lovely and warm cafe during my trip to London from korea. I have a lot of good memories. It was a place where I went to find coffee in the morning, and it was so comfortable and warm where the staff and the people of the neighborhood greeted me warmly. I don't have much time, so I'm sorry I couldn't stop by again. I'll definitely stop by one more time!”

“Charming cafe relaxed and very friendly with young people with special needs serving customers. Lovely cakes that are homemade and coffee and something a little stronger. Highly recommended. Excellent service.”

“Melk is one of my top coffee shops in the area! i come here very often. lovely coffee shop, gorgeous sweet treats and welcoming staff. laptop and dog friendly too. However, Limited seating and gets very busy xxxx”

“Came here for a nose piercing and piercer was great, extremely professional and very bubbly. Will be back for some more. Very well priced especially considering the quality and experience of staff. Highly recommended for those who are nervous. Great atmosphere too.”

“What a gorgeous store and lovely owner. Came looking for a unique gift for my Mom and left with art for myself too. Had a lovely chat with the owner too and learnt more about what Bless offer by way of events and experiences so I'll look forward to trying some of them.”

“Hidden gem! We popped in for brunch - really quick service, great menu options and DELICIOUS food! Really good value. We had the courgette fritters and the smashed avocado, poached eggs and bacon on sourdough. Thank you!”

“Great shop for czech groceries. Always have what I'm looking for. Even though it's kind of far but it's worth the travel. Service is always nice and friendly also.”

“Tasty food with generous portions and quick service. I’d definitely come back again.”

“I always have a relaxing time at Villiers. This is a cozy and laidback café, with a lot of different treats on offer that cater to a variety of diets. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I was very appreciative that I could choose between a few flourless snacks. I’ve had the flapjack, the cheesecake, and the salted caramel brownie, all of which I enjoyed. Shoutout to the barista Anna, who always ensures that the gluten free goodies I get are handled safely so I can enjoy them without getting a reaction! The coffee is very good, and I can't complain when there's nice latte art. I don’t love that the latte is served in a glass instead of a mug, but that's more of a preference than a comment on the quality. It tastes great regardless! In short: very nice and recommend!”

“The loveliest coffee shop and people, they’re always so friendly and attentive. Delicious coffee, a real community gem.”

“Friendly staff, good coffee and sandwiches. It's nice that they serve coffee with a small cookie. Also tidy and clean inside and comfy chairs.”

“Neelams is like a home away from home. The family treat everyone as friends rather than customer's. The shop contains an amazing range of goods. This should be your number one stop outlet for your needs.”

“Go here religiously for presents for my friends kids. It’s not cheap but it has an amazing collection and the staff are so helpful. I had a really specific request for a friends child and the incredible staff helped me find the perfect book for him. Could joy recommend it more - definitely worth a visit!”

“Awesome store. Loved all the Vintage Native Jewellery and Art. Friendly & Welcoming.”

“I had a fascinating first visit to the National Archives researching my family history. I started my application online for a readers card which is essential to be able too use the full archive but it was a simple process, which I completed when I arrived at Kew. The assistance I received from the staff at the National Archive was excellent, they were patient and understanding and seemed to have as much time to give as was needed to help visitors get the best out of their visit. Parking... There is adequate parking available which is payable using machines in the main foyer. Blue Badge Parking... There is a good number of Parking spaces for those with Blue Badges, split between the front and back of the building. Disabled Access... The building is well designed for all people using the facilities, with ramps and lifts as an alternative to stairs. Toilet facilities are equally well thought out. Food and Drink... There is a large refreshment area with both casual seating if you're just having a quick Coffee plus a large number of places to eat at tables. Be sure to check the closing time of the hot food service, it isn't the same as the Archives. I went on a Thursday which is the late opening day of the National Archives, yet although the archive wasn't closing until 7pm, the hot food stopped at 2pm and there definitely wasn't a full choice of options at 1.30pm. There is book-come-gift shop on the same floor as the refreshment area.”

“Always friendly and helpful service from Mo and his staff.”

“This corner cafe has been around for quite a few years now. However, it recently changed name (and possibly ownership). It remains great choice nonetheless! Note to self: I should be going there more often. The staff are friendly. There is a good selection of savoury items, reasonably priced. Laptops are not allowed, which is OK, as there are a lot of books to read and even buy. Halfway between Ealing Broadway station and South Ealing.”

“What a great shop. The owners are so nice as well. Nice prices”

“Very friendly and considerate staff. Will go the extra mile if needed.”

“Great atmosphere, great staff and wonderfully smooth coffee :) definitely recommend.”

“Ho comprato una casa in Italia : Inverigo (Como, Lombardia). Allora, Il Primo Caffe ed un piacere mangiare qui. E veramente un Caffe Italiano Autentico, buonissimo espresso, tutti quanti mangia bene ogni volta, senza dubio. Amazing super friendly and genuine Italian proprietor. The young Italian “Bossman” and myself talk in Italian and his passion and love for his venue is obvious to see. I bought a Summer home in Inverigo (a province of Comi about 20 miles North of Milan in 2005) and our Family try to go on vacation there every year. Highly recommend Primo Caffe without a doubt it is the BEST COFFEE and serves a beautiful selection of Authentic Italian food, in Orpington. Caveat : it can get SUPER BUSY (which is a good sign of an excellent venue). Ciao”

“The cafe is brillent use it about three times a week staff are great food and drink 5 stars great atmosphere”

“Amazing little breakfast place lovely customer service and amazing fresh food would highly recommend if your in the area Would definitely be visiting here again”

“Was recommended this place by a barmaid in a local pub which didn't have soup on their menu. It was very cold outside and I wanted a heartwarming soup. Went in and was warmly greeted by the owner Milko. We struck up an engaging and lively conversation. I ordered the chicken and vegetable soup. The soup was superb, and a very generous serving at that. The bowl was huge and it took a while for me to finish eating. 10/10 Finished with a Macchiato which was very good. Thank you Milko for such a great experience. I will be back very soon!”

“Visited the shop today, Anna was wonderfully heplfull it came to my shopping experience she was patient and understanding of my wants and needs and certainly couldn't ask for a better shopping experience thank you !”
