The 30 Best Tea time in London

“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”

“I adore this place. I'm not a person who goes out to cafes often, but their food is always so delicious for good price. People are always very sweet, love the atmosphere.”

“This place is amazing the portions, service and lovely coffee. The staff are polite and helpful on what to have to eat. Really recommend this cafe”

“This is a brilliant local place. East Finchley regulars will he well aware of it but if you are new to the area and are not sure which cafe to go to/try first then this is the one. Great food. Great salad boxes, great baked goods. Coffee, smoothies juices etc are all fantastic. Update: Cheeky shout out to La Gourmandise on the High Road in East Finchley. Most people know there are a great place for good food and baked goods but we’ve had a few cakes from them too. Out son’s first birthday cake being the most recent and every time they’ve been fantastic. Really tasty, well presented and very reasonably priced. Good local business to consider!”

“Most probably best Italian taste in London. We loved every piece of dishes that we tasted. Strongly recommended.”

“Food here is BEAUTIFUL. The wait staff are kind, quick and attentive. I came here with my family of 4 and we really enjoyed the whole eating experience. They have an all day breakfast. There is a cake and coffee promotion too.”

“What an excellent little cafe. Very clean and great service from Toma and Gabi A must if you are in the area. We'll done to you both”

“I don’t even know where to begin. It’s the perfect place for every casual dining experience. Really recommend coming here in the morning, great breakfast options made with lots of love. You can also have many other food options including burgers and chicken wraps and much more. In addition to savory foods there are also cakes, cookies and pancakes. A fantastic selection of drinks, coffee made by are proper espresso machine, fresh juices and protein shakes, so much good stuff I can not even list it all! I personally come here every time I go London, the atmosphere is welcoming, casual and fun and you feel invited to spend as much time as you want. Great service with personal interactions. It is also very child friendly making it feel like the family restaurant it is. Just come and try it for yourself!”

“Been coming here for years & never had a bad breakfast always hot and 10/10 taste. Always polite and very welcoming”

“This is truly a fantastic place to eat. I had breakfast there three times with my two sons and tried several dishes. Every dish tasted amazing. The host knows exactly how to treat his customers. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in London.”

“From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly ground coffee and buttery croissants wraps around you like a cashmere scarf. The interior? Think sun-drenched nooks with velvet armchairs, vintage bookshelves, and fairy lights that twinkle like captured stars. It’s Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. I ordered the lavender honey latte and the avocado toast with poached eggs and truffle oil—and let me tell you, my taste buds threw a party. The latte was silky, floral, and perfectly balanced (not a hint of soapiness, which is a lavender crime I’ve suffered elsewhere). The toast? Crispy sourdough, creamy avocado, eggs cooked to runny perfection, and that truffle oil… chef’s kiss. Portions are generous but not overwhelming, and every ingredient screams quality. The staff? Absolute angels. My barista, Leo, noticed I was sketching and brought over a tiny complimentary matcha madeleine “for inspiration.” Service this thoughtful should be illegal. Even the playlist—lo-fi jazz with a sprinkle of French pop—feels”

“Lovely customer service from Ashik and great coffee helpful worker I dropped my coffee and he offered to make me a new one”

“I had breakfast with coffee at Casa Mia with my family, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was freshly made and incredibly tasty—full of flavor and clearly prepared with care. The staff were polite, professional, and made us feel comfortable right away. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your time. It’s truly one of the best places for breakfast with excellent service. I would highly recommend Casa Mia to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a pleasant dining experience. Go and try it—you’ll be satisfied!”

“Been coming here for years with my family. Lovely spot that too few people know about. Lovely family owned business, properly cooked and properly used ingredients. A strong good quality coffee and the seating is homely.”

“New to the area so looking for a regular barber. Popped in here as first barber I walked past and lots in the area. I’m very happy. Very good cut, nice people, take their time to do it right. A little pricey but worth it and they go the extra mile. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely Sunday night treat for just me and mum as we were staying in the area. Food and wine were delicious, service fantastic and good value too. Gorgeous little place !”

“Absolutely fantastic place for lunch. Really friendly staff, great menu and food. Good portion size. We were lucky to arrive and were instantly seated but it was full. Cappucino was one of the best that we've had. Kids menu was lovely. They understood dietary requirements and we're facilitated easily. Toilets were clean and spacious but there's just one. It does have a baby change.”

“We have always been a regular at strand cafe and it was recently taken over by new owners. They still do a lovely breakfast menu, and Thai food but the place has been beautifully renovated. Had a chicken salad which was fresh and tasty, and the cafe manager was so welcoming and accommodating. Will definitely be back!”

“I've been coming here for many years now and have never been disappointed! The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, the service is fantastic, and the food and drink is brilliant - and well priced too! Definitely my favourite coffee shop in Crystal Palace :)”

“The owner is the most humble person ever. He supported the local mosque with food for volunteers and staff, helped support other out of the kindness of his heart. The food is absolutely lovely too, taste amazing and great atmosphere overall!!”

“Coming to work from West London to Bromley this lovely place caught my eye. Had the best Jerk Chicken pattie as it was so nice and flaky. Spoil for choice of desserts as I have a sweet tooth, so I to go for the Pear and Peach Crumbles and wash it down with good old Guinness Punch. Great customer service as well. Will I come again? For sure. Thank you ladies xx xx”

“Ho comprato una casa in Italia : Inverigo (Como, Lombardia). Allora, Il Primo Caffe ed un piacere mangiare qui. E veramente un Caffe Italiano Autentico, buonissimo espresso, tutti quanti mangia bene ogni volta, senza dubio. Amazing super friendly and genuine Italian proprietor. The young Italian “Bossman” and myself talk in Italian and his passion and love for his venue is obvious to see. I bought a Summer home in Inverigo (a province of Comi about 20 miles North of Milan in 2005) and our Family try to go on vacation there every year. Highly recommend Primo Caffe without a doubt it is the BEST COFFEE and serves a beautiful selection of Authentic Italian food, in Orpington. Caveat : it can get SUPER BUSY (which is a good sign of an excellent venue). Ciao”

“Had a very nice lunch here today. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten here. Usually just visit for the garden centre, but my friend and I decided to eat whilst here. This is a great family run cafe/restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We were seated quickly and served quickly, although it was fairly busy (and is normally packed out) I had the poached eggs with smashed avocado with an oat milk cappuccino. The coffee is very nice here too, probably the nicest I’ve had in a while. My friend had the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and it looked delicious. All tasted fresh and came quickly too. Extra seating now for when it is very busy, which meant we didn’t have to wait for a table today. Lots of variety on the menu, and some of the other food being served up looked delicious too. Glad to see this place is still open and doing well. The staff here clearly work very hard to provide great food and service. Very reasonable prices too. Would recommend.”

“Great local café, good ambiance and very friendly. Good coffee and banging cakes.”

“I had an excellent experience with the chai and chapati — both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic, fresh, and comforting. A special shout-out to Yashi for the fantastic service. She was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“Very friendly stuff Amazing service, nice talk,maximum attention to the costumer They sell delicious beverage”

“It is very clean,the staff are really kind and food is amazing really nice placeti go for a warm coffee for a cold day”

“A wonderful privately owned coffee shop offering a fantastic selection of hot and cold foods, sandwiches and cakes. The owners are lovely and the staff are very helpful. A lot of locals come here, it's very popular”

“Fabulous service, foods and fresh tasty coffee's from an independent cafe in a super location which helps lots of lovely young people increase their confidence and experience in the community. Brilliant management thank you for your work with Cafe Sunshine.”

“Amazing experience. The perfect English breakfast. No fuss, just honest old school service and food. Great to see there is such a great place smack in the middle of kingston. Price is excellent. Waiters are amazing. Well done”
