Breakfast spot in Richmond

“Picked this venue for a coffee after reading the great reviews and was not disappointed. Don't be fooled by the modest entrance, the shop is a visual cornucopia of artistic delights. The drinks arrived in cute, hand painted cups and saucers, with small wooden spoons and the coffees adorned with coffee art. We sat and took in all the amazing decor which was for sale: cups, small serving dishes, bags, spoons, a menagerie of small crocheted animals with some in key ring form plus so much more. It was a feast for the eyes and brain to take in everything that was on display. The coffee was equally good and hope to try one of the cakes next time. An absolute joy for the senses and would highly recommend.”

“Great coffee and a cozy place to sit for a short time to drink it. Busy enough that this may not be ideal for longer coffee shop days or larger groups if dining in.”

“I was visiting Kingston from out of town and popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back with a book for a nice cup of coffee when I’m next in Kingston.”

“Nice ambience and deco. Wonderful service, prompt and courteous. Food was amazing and coffee was smashing!”

“A wonderful gem of a place. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate and so much more. All expertly made by the very handsome gentleman. It’s lovely to see someone who takes so much care in what they do. The coffee is amazing. Love that Niall can tell you everything about his coffee and where it comes from. He takes great care with sourcing all his ingredients. He will make sure you’re happy with your cuppa and goes the extra mile. His toasties are fantastic and so tasty!! There’s always something delicious to try. It’s so lovely to be able to sit down and enjoy your meal/coffee surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. Four leaf is set in a family run garden centre right next to the train station. Such a gorgeous place to sit and relax.”

“Great cafe in Putney. Ignore the chains on the high street and you'll be rewarded. Good range of gluten free cakes, smoothies, coffees.”

“What a find! We just happened across this little restaurant for a weekday lunch and it was such a wonderful surprise. The food was fresh Lebanese family cooking at its very best and all for an incredibly reasonable price. The portions was very generous too and what we couldn't finish was beautifully packed up for later. Thank you, and we'll be back!”

“Great for Turkish coffee ☕️ Haven’t tried any food yet”

“Best coffee in the Richmond/Sheen area! Not only that but they have an amazing Italian Deli attached. Owners are the most wonderfully welcoming people who really take the time to get to know their customers and make you feel so loved you can’t help but keep coming back. The closest I have come to an authentic Italian coffee house outside of Italy!”

“What a lovely breakfast I’ve had in here and I can highly recommend this place for someone who is looking to eat healthy food”

“I absolutely love it here. Most welcoming cafe in sheen. The family is delightful and I love learning new Turkish words when I come. I love the Borek and the cakes too.”

“Absolutely incredible Italian restaurant. Every dish was so tasty, loved the music and the service was brilliant. Giuseppe made us feel so welcome and was great with recommendations. The pasta is all freshly made in house and you can really tell because it’s so delicious. The pistachio tiramisu is a must try!! Bottomless brunch is only £20 aswell, such great value; includes bottomless Aperol spritz and prosecco.”

“Hawthorn is 100% your new go-to spot in Kew/Richmond. For some background, everyone who I was with for dinner had previously dined at the Glasshouse at some point in their lives, so when we all arrived for dinner at Hawthorn, we were intrigued about how it would compare… AND WOW our expectations were blown out of the water. Not only did we each quite literally lick the plates clean, but we all felt that each course was complex yet also felt so simple and just plain delicious. We heard that the restaurant just opened a couple of weeks ago, but the food tasted as if the chefs have been cooking together for years. Whether you are there for lunch or dinner, either set menu is incredibly well priced (especially when the food quality is at this level). The sommelier is incredible, suggesting perfect pairings for each course to accommodate every taste bud or finding a bottle that works with a table of diners who ordered a mixture of seafood and meat mains! Conveniently it’s also right next to Kew Gardens station or a short walk from Richmond station - very easy to get to and definitely worth a trip. What an amazing new restaurant in Kew!”

““Rich cafe is very welcoming and cosy place with wonderful location. Every time we go there if it is just for a coffee, family breakfast or lunch, there is always plenty options to choose from tasty food and yummy deserts. The staff is so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thanks Mario for the wonderful care given to us. Forever repeat customers!””

“Stopped by the other day and was blown away! The coffee was outstanding, which is so hard to find in London. Made me feel like I was abroad. Croissants were also spot-on, and the owner was so warm and kind. When you step out of the station, turn right, and it’s about a minute’s walk. The kind of place you go out of your way to visit again!”

“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!”

“Wonderful little brunch cafe with excellent food and friendly service! The cafe is nice, with a chilled out, relaxed feel to it. Lots of seating in the garden outside and some tables on the street at the front. The food is excellent. Very tasty. Full English was done very well with excellent quality sausages!”

“An absolute gem located in Putney. They serve an amazing English Breakfast, along with an assortment of incredible Smoothies. Every food item is extremely high quality at a reasonable price. The service is incredible as well. If you want a good start to your day, eat here. 10/10.”

“I haven't been to Beyzade in a few years until last Saturday and the food is even greater! Great food, great atmosphere and very clean toilets..what else would you want.. No wonder why its so packed, keep up please-:)”

“The best Japanese food in London. I go for their lunch plate every week.”

“Fabulous service, foods and fresh tasty coffee's from an independent cafe in a super location which helps lots of lovely young people increase their confidence and experience in the community. Brilliant management thank you for your work with Cafe Sunshine.”

“Lovely store and officially the best matcha I’ve had in London their Olive oil cake is so good too!”

“Really nice little café in a quiet neighborhood. It’s calm and peaceful, perfect for a slow Saturday or Sunday morning with a coffee and a book. Not crowded, just relaxed. The staff are friendly and polite, and the whole place has a nice, welcoming feel. Feels like a bit of a hidden gem in this area.”

“Quality. Variety. Been going here for a couple of decades. Consistently excellent. Always a nice welcome and attentive and confident service. Really good breakfast choices. Wide salad selection. Just addicted !”

“Lovely cafe, bigger than it looks. Large selection of home made snacks and pastries. Great atmosphere. Perfect for breakfast”

“This is the cafe in the heart of downtown Richmond. Everyone will pass by this cafe, so it is the ideal place to drink one of your coffees of the day. The friendly staff will serve you with a smile. The tables outside become breathtaking on sunny days since they have a place where the sun can see them. One of the few cafes in the area that serve espresso in its glass and no bigger, (espresso lovers will love it).”

“Lovely impromptu coffee stop in East Putney. Decaf americano excellent as was my cheese tomato egg toastie especially made on request. Thanks for a really nice experience!”

“This Ham Cafe is open now after a six month if I am not wrong. New management, New menu and great tasty food and amazing coffee. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. So much clearer and tidy then before.”

“I’ve been visiting this lovely café in Putney quite often lately, and it’s become one of my go-to spots in the area. The atmosphere is calm and inviting never too noisy, just the right place to relax, read, or catch up with friends. The staff are always friendly and attentive, and there’s a genuine warmth in the service that makes you feel welcome every time you walk in. The coffee is consistently good, smooth and full of flavor. You can tell they care about quality; every cup feels freshly made. But what truly stands out here is their banana bread it’s freshly baked every morning, perfectly moist, and has that subtle hint of cinnamon that makes it irresistible. It’s simple but absolutely delicious, and no surprise that it sells out quickly during the day. Beyond coffee and pastries, the food menu is also impressive. They have tasty brunch options and light meals that are fresh, well-prepared, and nicely presented. Everything feels made with care rather than rushed or pre-made. Overall, this place has a really nice vibe great coffee, fresh food, and genuinely kind people. Definitely worth a visit if you’re around Putney!”

“I had black Americano and my wife had cappuccino, we both really enjoyed our drinks a lot. My Americano had that light fruity aftertaste that you often only find with very high quality, it was genuinely very delicious. The interior is relaxing, calm and light and we really appreciate the soft music as well, not at all over the top. I love what this place is going for, as I am new to the area it's nice to find a place nearby that I know I can be comfortable in. The woman serving us on Monday 6th was also very kind.”
