Relaxing café ambiance in London

“This place was a great find for two vegans and a vegetarians. We enjoyed quality coffee and sourdough avocado toast with pomegranate seeds. The olive oil used was exceptional. Adding another vegan option would ensure a return visit, but great staff made it the best option in that area for us”

“Dropped by with my kids for lunch and it was a great experience. The service was brilliant and the owner is friendly and welcoming. The food was good. I had the lamb chops and got the chicken nuggets for the kids. Their prices are well suited and the atmosphere is relaxed. Will definitely be back.”

“Had sausage and bacon baguette today was delicious, really enjoyed it, real gem of a place and owner was so nice can’t wait to return.”

“Stumbled upon this lovely little cafe by chance this morning. Had a lovely cappuccino and breakfast bap. Delightful place”

“Visiting from Montréal. Recommended by family and friends. This place was cozy and felt like home! Antonio and his son’s welcomed us with open arms. The food was just like eating Sunday lunch at Nonna’s. I highly recommend it.”

“We’re lucky to have this superb little Italian cafe so near to us. Delicious food and the coffee is fantastic. Great staff and service too”

“Visited for the Japanese cheesecake initially and to introduce a friend to this place as they are more local than me. Loved the selection of hot/cold drinks. Sat in even shared a table with other visitors which I thought was so nice and brought back the good times where people actually converse! Carrot cake was divine it was moist and tasty. Was there so long sat to near closing time! The basement has a really nice ambience to it aswell I'd come back again.”

“A proper oasis for Italians, proper food, great selection of panini and pastries and probably the best coffee you can get outside of Italy! Antonio is a great host and highly professional and I guess this help the extremely chill and friendly atmosphere in his premises. He also makes amazing Neapolitan pizza every Friday in traditional way and fine ingredients. On behalf of all Italians here in Surrey: thank you for being here! Valentino”

“Great little cafe, fab homemade cake delicious and reasonably priced. Lovely helpful service and very quaint , worth a visit even though inside seating is limited”

“Service was top notch, very friendly, food excellent, and a smashing tea. It’s been a while since I was last here but it’s still one of the best cafes!”

“Mediterranean Breakfast & Oat Flat White - absolutely delicious! Would definitely go back here again. Nice decor too”

“A nice local cafe/restaurant. Friendly service and atmosphere. Highly recommend the chicken gyros wrap and halloumi salad. The bueno and ferrero Roche cakes were gone before we could even take a picture of them! They were sublime!”

“The food and coffee is very good and the staff very friendly and kind. Good atmosphere and great service! I recommend it”

“This is a review I have been meaning to write for some time! Have been here a few times now and the food is always top notch, great service and just a cute place to go and chill and have a catch up with friends and family. They have great options if you are gluten free and dairy free. Check out my tiktok account whatsvidhyaeating for closer look at my review!”

“Amazing place! Great coffee, friendly staff, tasty food, fun arcade and all in a beautiful building set down a secret mews. Will definitely be back!”

“My favorite little local coffee shop. The coffee is consistently excellent, and their fresh pastry selection has a few common standards with a good variety of changes from day to day. The standout for me is the atmosphere, though. Whether I’m dipping in to grab a drink ahead of my train or staying to work at a table for hours I always feel welcome there. Each member of staff is uniquely lovely and our chitchat while I wait is always fun.”

“Superb little cafe. Been coming here for 15 years. Always delicious food, great value, spotless and well run traditional cafe. Breakfast 3 with beans and coffee is my long time favourite.”

“Food is ok, but the coffee is excellent. It is just unfortunate that they cannot serve it via a drip from the wall or ceiling, you still have to drink it from a king size cup.”

“Lovely place with amazing coffee and great service! The atmosphere is calm and inviting — perfect for meeting friends or taking a short break during the day.”

“The loveliest coffee shop and people, they’re always so friendly and attentive. Delicious coffee, a real community gem.”

“Great place for lunch. Has good seating options om ground floor and basement. Make nice sandwiches and burgers. They do specials as well. Great cakes.”

“After moving to the UK for 2 months I finally found a great coffee. My coffee was made by Ben and it's so great. It's so balanced with the creaminess of the milk, and I can still taste the strong coffee flavor. I usually found coffee in London to be more on the mild side with too much milk flavor. The baristas here are so kind and the ambiance is nice. I will keep coming back. Will try their hand filter next time. Thank you Ben and Lift Coffee!”

“Excellent coffee at a fair price. I kind of hope this place never gets discovered, it's such a rare London delight.”

“I had such a lovely experience at Alma – Barnes today! The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. But what really made the visit special was the wonderful service. A big thank you to Kay, who was so friendly, attentive, and made me feel really welcome. She went above and beyond, and it truly made my visit memorable. Highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Really lovely, friendly little café that has the distinction of serving a selection of excellent loose-leaf teas - this is unusual nowadays, with so many places focusing on serving coffee rather than tea. The sandwiches are very good too. It's tucked away in a pretty, quiet street with rows of18th century houses, a few minutes away from the touristy bustle of central Greenwich. Well worth the slight detour.”

“I recently visited the T4 hayes town. Its soo cool that i can customize the sugar and ice levels. Staff is very helpful and nice. I had tried some free samples which the lady is giving to everyone. Mango royal tea is soo delicious. I highly recommend visiting this branch for quick service.”

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

“Delicious food, I got the chicken wrap and chilli momo dumplings which were absolutely amazing, i would definitely be coming back for the dumplings. The staff were very friendly and great service”

“We went here just before 9pm and were delighted to know that they still serve bingsoo so late at night! The bingsoos are a little more expensive than the ones at the cafe across the street, but the ice cream scoop is bigger, the standard is consistent and the service was much more efficient. Cosy atmosphere as well and the tables are clean and tidy. Dog friendly too. Would highly recommend this place for late night desserts!”

“The new and improved Tazza is lovely. The staff are really welcoming and helpful. The food and coffee are also great!”
