Relaxation 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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Nice atmosphere, very cozy and calm. Great coffee and very friendly barista. Would be great if I could buy coffee next time for my espresso machine too, just to enjoy at home sometimes. Thank you!”

“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.”

“Thoroughly recommended. Not large, so worth booking ahead if visiting at a busy time. Wonderfully friendly and caring service and a great brunch menu. My vegetarian wife found the choice a little limited, particularly as avocado had run out We look forward to another visit”

“Had a lovely breakfast here. Everything was well cooked and not too greasy. The coffee is great too. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Such lovely vibes. I live locally and don't know why it's taken me so long to try this place but I will be back”

“I visited on a Sunday morning, and it was quite busy, however was fortunate enough to get a seat outside. Absolutely love the how this place is done, beautiful interiors and a lovely outside patio. I ordered a pour over (chose Pink Bourbon) and it was brewed to perfection at perfect temperature. Definitely visiting again.”

“A very cosy café near to Lea Bridge station. The cheese and tomato panini was freshly cooked and served with a nice salad. Good prices and friendly service.”

“The Dialogue Café — Where Mornings Begin with Meaning Whether you're easing into the day or diving into work, The Dialogue Café offers a welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful food, and a sense of community. It’s the kind of place where breakfast feels like a ritual — not just a meal. Why it’s a breakfast favourite: Fresh pastries and sourdough toast — flaky, warm, and comforting Avocado toast with poached eggs — simple, elegant, and satisfying Shakshuka or Turkish eggs — bold, spiced, and full of character Smooth coffee and herbal teas — well-brewed and gently energising Friendly staff and clean design — makes you want to linger”

“Cute and spacious Japanese cafe in a quiet street behind busy Highbury corner. Staff were lovely and served me a tasty iced matcha perfect for 28 degrees London. I’d love to come back and try their menu which had a good set of options for lunch. Perfect for reading a book or low key catch up with a friend.”

“Excellent food and great coffee. The most wonderful staff made my mum and I feel very welcome on a very cold day. Faultless, thank you”

“The best cafe I have ever been to in my life. I highly recommend getting the cafe twenty six special sandwich. It is the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. Amazing customer service and high quality food.”
