Friendly café in London

“Fantastic homemade jammy buns served with beaming smiles, all for a very affordable price. What's not to love? There's a reason there are often 10 people outside. Fab business doing SW London properly proud. Well done ladies.”

“We got lucky finding this gorgeous cafe! We stood in line for a local ‘Instagram recommended’ cafe surrounded by muddy paths and screaming children and decided there must be something better!! AND just up the road we found this little gem. The food is lovely and the service is too.”

“First time here, absolutely wonderful. The staff made us feel right at home. The food was very good for a very reasonable price. The bathrooms were nice and clean. We'll definitely be back and are happy we discovered this place.”

“Real hidden gem. Was my little Brothers birthday and Really looked after us. The food was some of the best ever had hearty and nourishing all fresh. The salad platter is well worth it although its to share but its so so good easily could have had one each and the bread served with it was tasty . Chicken Spring rolls were to die for never had anything like it so good. The mains we got chicken and lamb tajine and they both were delicious. kept us full for a gig at the 02 academy. Highly 11/10 Reccomend khamsa and big thank you to the chef/waiter running place on his own yet still making us feel looked after and serving the best food not an easy feat”

“First time I've been here. Staff are genuinely friendly, warm and helpful. They have a smile to greet you and eye contact which I think is lacking in most places. Food a step above the normal brunch. Bacon and sausages good quality and poached eggs perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this place.”

“Another absolute hidden gem in south East London. We just stopped here for a quick coffee and it was so good, the espresso is really easy drinking and BIG, if you want a decent sized espresso this is the place to go! Also the guy making the coffee of potentially the nicest man in all SE London coffee places, he's so friendly. We'll definitely be back here for drinks, snacks and music another time.”

“Just stopped on a Friday lunchtime to have some pizzas, they were delicious, on par with pizzas we’ve had in Italy, the best pizza we’ve had so far in surbiton/london! Highly highly reccomend!! The staff were lovely and welcoming; will definitely be returning and telling my friends about it! So lovely!”

“There's not much I would recommend to see or visit in Mottingham apart from Egg & Co. Honestly every time we go there we leave with happy spirit and a full belly! It's dog friendly, it's great for children and it's beautifully decorated! Inside it's giving Mamma Mia vibes, it has so much heart in it, you have to visit! The staff goes above and beyond (just ask our rescue dog who feels super comfortable there) and it's a huge portion for a very reasonable price. We love Egg & Co.!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Well Bean Co is such a lovely spot! It has a great atmosphere and a really welcoming vibe. The location is perfect, the service is always friendly and attentive, and the hot drinks are fantastic. The food is fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. On top of that, it’s also a great place to work from — calm, cozy, and perfect as a little office away from home. Definitely a place worth coming back to again and again!”

“The Owner is very friendly and costumer oriented. When I didn't had enough money, he was fine with it. The food is really delicious and the prices are pretty fair and good for a city like London. All in all a recommendation.”

“I had lovely experience at Canons Cafe. Rana was extremely polite and a nice smile, a happy face in the morning. The food was very filling and tasty, love to come here on the weekend with the grandkids.”

“Great cafe menu, reasonably priced, really good portions. Excellent service. Great cuppa tea and the guys at the next table seemed to have excellent looking coffee.”

“Been going there for the last 3 years, and I could say that it is one of the best vegan cafes in the UK. With many assortments of vegan cakes that are so delicious that goes well with either a nice cup of mocha, hot chocolate, coffee or a nice cold frappe.”

“Highly recommended. Very friendly staff from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. Great food. A fantastic family run business. Well worth a visit.”

“The must try Thai restaurant in London!!!! They have two market stalls in Shoreditch and Petticoat Lane market! (Always have long queue there, you can find it!) I love all the dishes here! Try it!!!!”

“I went there three times during my trip, and each time was fantastic. The food was amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly. If you’re ever in the area and hungry, I definitely recommend checking this place out”

“Where do I start, when I first entered this establishment, I was skeptical. Within two minutes, I was taken back by the service provided by the staff. The food is absolutely exceptional and if I’m being honest, I would describe this establishment as the best cafe in the Bromley borough.”

“A lovely little cafe I came across as being new to the area and on maternity leave. The surrounding park is gorgeous and I often pit stop at Sassis for some iced coffee and a snack :) The owner, Wayne, was super accommodating for my little one’s first birthday and let us reserve a few tables for our family & friends. The staff were amazing, very friendly & helpful throughout the day! Food & drink, as always, was great too :) Definitely recommend this lovely little cafe to anyone, we’ll be back again soon!”

“It's simply one of the best coffee shops in Hackney. Really, they do great coffee. It's also a carefully curated grocery, where each bottle of wine, beer and food is chosen with a keen and discerning eye. The owners are lovely people, proud to call it my local coffee shop!”

“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!”

“Lovely cafe near Riddlesdown station. Wide range of hot and cold drinks including smoothies, nice egg breakfast selection and toasties and burgers. Some of the menu is halal, ask before you order. Recommend”

“Amazing food, and the two ladies running the floor were incredible. Perfect place to visit for brunch, will be back again!”

“Loved the idea turning a church into a cafe, makes the vibe super unique and chill. The seating is worked nicely around the space, and it’s just a great place to hang out. The coffee was pretty good, bit different from what I’m used to, but still enjoyable. They’ve got toasties, soups, pastries, and you can even bring food from nearby as long as you grab something from the cafe, which is pretty handy. Perfect for a quick bite or a drink if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary. Definitely worth checking out!”

“Very tipical and authentic italian restaurant! Food is freshly made every single day! Pizzas are exceptional! Francesco, Paola and Nicola are superb hosts who make your experience in their restaurant unforgettable! The internal italian dely is well furnished with italian products and the available football table is the "cherry on top of the cake". We loved it.❤️”

“Really lucky to call this place my local. You simply can’t beat the service here, rain or shine they’re always happy to serve because they genuinely care. Aside from the experience, the food is great and very affordable and made or order, and the coffee is freshly made and tastes incredible, they also often have a choice of blends too, to further suit your taste preferences. It’s really hard to go anywhere else and feel this level of hospitality! I will always return, whether it’s for a hangover-cure bacon bagel, or a quick brew before work in the week.”

“A little gem. I spent a week in London and ended up coming back every single day. The food is excellent (try the Mediterranean breakfast), and all of it is home-made. The set up is intimate, cozy and warm, not the least thanks to the delightful owners who manage both room and kitchen service. Will definitely be back on my next trip to London.”

“Stumbled across this fab little coffee shop today. Really lovely staff, great coffee, and a very tasty croissant! Sat on one of the bar stools at the window and watched the world go by. Highly recommended.”

“classic cafe food - loads of options, with great service and really affordable compared to other places in the area. have been going here since i was a kid and will no doubt continue to go for years to come. lovely place to sit indoor or outdoors, but also do takeaways.”
