Coffee house in Kingston Upon Thames

“This restaurant offers exceptional service — they treat you like family from the moment you walk in. The staff genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast was a highlight: fresh, flavorful, and with a wonderfully natural taste. I left feeling satisfied and appreciated. Highly recommended!”

“This place is under new management and is truly changed for the better, the new rotund boss has made some brilliant changes. Tom who resembles the jolly round butcher we all grew up with, has rebranded as a ‘Tea and sausage sandwich emporium’. You can come and enjoy your pot of lapsang suchong and bacon sarnie until late afternoon. The colourful range of local clientele also makes each visit similar to a visit to the zoo! Well worth a visit! Honestly the only coffee shop in town that is worth frequenting!”

“Very welcoming cafe with much appreciated bike stands! Really enjoyed the lentil soup”

“Hands down best coffee in Kingston. Lovely and friendly staff and efficient service, even on a very busy Sunday. Toastie was delightful! Would recommend!”

“Great coffee from very knowledgeable baristas. I will say the flavours are great, I’m not particularly fond of the Ethiopian blend by my partner loved it. Price was fair and reasonable. The coffee prep techniques is far superior to any coffee shops in the locality. The atmosphere was great, people were playing board games etc and the smell was amazing when you first walk in. The cookies were also great. Only slight gripe was that I was charged for a standard coffee for 2 however I wanted the V60. When I mentioned this I was refunded straight away although was told this would take 3-5 working days to debit and then I was charged properly for the V60. I think that this could have been handled better and an additional charge just for the uplift only - again this was only minor and didn’t bother me too much, but might not have been great if I didn’t have the extra money in my bank. Will visit again and again when in the area.”

“The Almond Croissant was really good but wasn't the biggest fan of the Biscoff Latte and it didn't have a very Biscoff flavour.”

“I rate 5 star for the service as all the staff are fantastic, 5 stars for the lovely cakes, but sadly, only a 1 star for the atmos/ambience because the new owners, I believe, decided to remove the beautiful piano that I used to adore playing there. Also it was linked to constant background piano notes, cleverly playing out of the piano while no one played it. That really was quite relaxing and unique whilst enjoying the food and cakes, and after my weekly office job , I would look forward to my visits there at the weekends to unwind and sometimes play.. A great hub and centrepiece has been ripped out of the heart of the cafe. It blended in very well and also was a fine backdrop against the old churchyard opposite through the tall windows. I just was preparing my Xmas carols repertoire and some more new lyrics when I visited there last Saturday, but my piano was gone!”

“Love going to this Costa because of my lovely and friendly barista Sanjana who makes the best coffees and hot chocolates. Very cosy place:)”

“I come in everyday and Omar and Sheyla have always been so nice and helpful. Best coffee shop in Kingston by a mile thanks to those two!”

“Great atmosphere Great Cold Coffee”

“After the renovation it definitely got even better. The team is great — fast, well-organised, and they know their regular customers. Always friendly and polite.”

“Eleena's is wonderful. Glad we found this quaint little place. Only in London for a few days and only wish we would have found this sooner. The food was beautifully seasoned, the service was a delight and just an all around great place. Can we get a carbon copy of this great restaurant back in the US?”

“Lovely piece of Portugal in Kingston. Delicious food, coffee with great friendly service. Well stocked wine "library". I asked for a recommendation for a medium priced red wine to accompany a steak dinner. It wasn't too much trouble for the owner to recommend from the wide offerings, which was much appreciated.”

“Great place for a lovely breakfast in sunny day have indoor and outdoor area. Very friendly owner. Nice coffee and panini! Very good price. May find free parking nearby!”

“This small lovely venue is great for gamers and you can even have your birthday party here as it has party room. First time I came here and I will return in future. Good atmosphere. We enjoyed playing Mario.”

“Lovely little cafe by the river. Tuna melt and cappuccino were both delicious! Lots of benches and dog friendly.”

“Had a drink and bite to eat whilst waiting for my car to have it's MOT. Had the Panini meal deal - really tasty and great value. Very good service too, will be back :)”

“One of the best boutique cafe in Hampton Wick (South West London). The Barista is very attentive to detail.Superb desserts, delicious homemade savory food, sandwiches, including vegan options. The homemade soups are great especially in cold days and is a great alternative. Stylish interior. Nice staff. The lady "Simona" is very friendly and she makes everyone feel welcome. When shopping in nearby Kingston Upon Thames, we always go to this cafe.If you are tired of the big branded coffee shops and you want to have a really good coffee, this is the place for you!”

“What a great place either to take a break or just to indulge yourself if an almond croissant. Ps: I think the cheapest and greatest menu I have ever seen in London. Wish I lived closer !”

“Best nero. Lovely and extremely fast staff. Best coffee batistas”
