Charming café in London

“A great little find. Friendly staff and good coffee.”

“Really unique and cute cafe truck, offers simple food choices, they have jacket potatoes, panini, bagels and some rice dishes. Their carrot cakes look very nice too. There are seats by the riverside and a bridge that can rotate 360 degrees, a hidden gem in London. I had the tuna olive cheese panini, it was okay for the price I paid, the staffs were very friendly.”

“Wonderful Breakfast Experience! Visited with my family last Sunday, and it was absolutely delightful. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The café was super clean, which added to the pleasant ambiance. We started with an Americano coffee , and you could immediately tell they use high-quality beans—rich and flavorful. My son thoroughly enjoyed the hot chocolate, which was smooth and perfectly prepared. The hash browns were crispy and delicious, probably some of the best we’ve had. Everything we ordered was spot on, and the experience couldn’t have been more perfect. Highly recommend this café for anyone looking for a relaxed, family-friendly breakfast spot. We’ll definitely be back!”

“It has been such a lovely experience. My husband and I really enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious, the service was perfect and the environment was incredible, we loved the live music. The perfect romantic birthday dinner. I hope I will be back soon. So far the best experience I had in London after many years. Thank you.”

“Positioned right on the river Thames. Sit and enjoy an ice cream or coffee and light lunch. On a beautiful day it's heaven to sit there and then stroll into Kingston or Surbiton. Great selection of vegan items”

“If you're near Kingston, you absolutely must stop by this wonderful cafe. It manages to combine cosy comfort with a level of presentation that turns lunch into a visual feast. The moment you walk in, you understand why people rave about the food selection. Everything from the vibrant salads and freshly prepared "baked" is meticulously displayed. It’s a true "eat with your eyes" experience, where the colours and textures are right there in front of you, making choosing a delicious challenge. But the real, undisputed star of the show is their Lemon-Ginger Honey Tea. It’s the perfect blend of sharp, sweet, and warming, a drink that instantly resets your day. Sometimes I genuinely only visit just for this tea alone, staff is always friendly and would add extra ginger or honey.”

“It’s always a great experience at Chai, the coffee is great, and food is always fresh and delicious! I got the chicken wrap which was great. The selection of cakes is incredible, they are not too sweet and are freshly made everyday. The decor is incredible and it’s very comfortable and cozy to sit here. In summers it’s very nice to sit outside.”

“LoPeto Is a little Cafe haven in Priory Gardens Park where you can enjoy the best coffee and cake surrounded by the beauty of this historic park. Ideal for friend's and family or if you just want to have some yourself. The staff are friendly, especial Gil who will always greet you with a happy smile !”

“We love Cafe on the Common- the food, service and atmosphere are all fabulous. I dream of the whipped feta, it’s that good! And we all love the cakes too. Eating here also supports a wonderful community initiative- training young adults with learning differences, so its win, win! Highly recommend.”

“I just bought an absolute amazing roll from here. The girl behind the desk was brilliant. I really think she needs to try peanut butter and mayonnaise in a roll or sandwich. Lol. Amazing place. Great staff. I'll be back”

“A fantastic café. Wonderful atmosphere. Welcoming and friendly. Fantastic choice of food and drink. Something for everyone. Waitresses are efficient and happy to serve. The café is very clean including toilet. Prices are affordable for great food nicely presented. This is a super café. Well worth a visit as you won't be disappointed.”

“Sean and the team are just fantastic. Have visited the Café many times and its our go to place for lunch! Great food, great service and stunning location!”

“Great music, great atmosphere. For a blackman I did not feel out of place at all with my Serb wife. People from the Balkans are completely different from white brits. Much friendlier and welcoming.”

“I visit Detour regularly. It's a lovely café with tasty, very well presented food. The coffee is delicious & the staff are all so friendly - I love having chats with them! 5 stars all round ⭐️”

“Really nice place.. Airy relaxed, good coffee nice selection menu (smashed avo and crispy bacon on sour dough!!!!”

“We went for the first time today. Lovely cooked breakfast, friendly staff, light and clean interior. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Decent tasty food at reasonable price with good service. One note tables suitable for singles and small groups, we were 3 so it was great but if we came, in full force of 10 might be an issue.”

“Nice place to grab a lunch while out on my visits. Free WiFi, nice chilled atmosphere, could do with bigger cushions on the bench seating”

“I happen to visit the cafe during hi team time. It is perfect place to relax with outdoor terrace seating in a warm and sunny day. The interiors are bright and inviting as well. The food is fresh with all European flavours to savory crepes . The cafe offers a wide choice of tea & coffee selection along with pastry & Ice cream to offer. The service was prompt and warmly anticipated.”

“The team at London Grace Angel are LOVELY and did a fantastic job on my nails. Great atmosphere and coffee too. Will need to return for the cocktails! Thanks for a nice experience.”

“Tried some starters for a quick lunch today. The sticky asian wings was yummilicious , the fried chicken tenders in lettuce even better and the nachos didnt dissapoint. Liked the cappuchino too.”

“I recently visited this restaurant for brunch with my friend and had an amazing experience. The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived—everyone was friendly and attentive. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. I had the Mediterranean breakfast with a refreshing lemonade, both of which were fantastic. My friend ordered the hot chocolate and couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was. We also tried the pancakes with bacon and fruit, which were heavenly, and the Eggs Benedict were top-notch. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy, but that wouldn’t stop me from coming back. I also loved the thoughtful touch of receiving a little card with our bill that’s biodegradable and has seeds, so you can plant it—such a great eco-friendly idea. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning to try more of their dishes. Highly recommend!”

“Lovely cafe, great coffee and food and friendly service. Good selection and well priced.”

“The food was amazing. I went for the 8 items for £12. It was verrrrry worth the price. The food was good quality as well. I will definitely come again”

“Just had our first meal here and will DEFINITELY be coming back. As an Asian family constantly on the hunt for authentic food, we were pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem. Our server, Maggie, was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend the beef pho - very large portion size and extremely flavourful. Extremely affordable prices and can’t wait to visit again.”

“The cafe is a great place. My usual sausage sandwich and double espresso are very good quality. Staff very friendly and welcoming.”

“Great old school cafe in the very posh Parsons Green. Food is great value for money and they are very generous with the portions, perfect for a hangover. Good to see a cafe like this still open in this day and age, very relaxed unpretentious atmosphere. Bonus marks for having a TV showing the Italian Job (original Michael Caine version) which entertained me whilst I waited for my mate.”

“Feels like home, nice coffee nice food”

“Great, cozy spot. It is quiet so I enjoy reading my book in peace. Also the food was good. I had a smoothie which was the best for such a hot day.”

“Wow! Amazing sandwich. Chicken, avocado and sun dried tomato on sourdough. Delicious and enormous. Only £5. My only concern was I think the price was too low in this crazy world we live in. It was worth £6.50. thank you so much. I will be back!!! No photos to add as took away and it is very happily nestling in my belly!!!”
