Unique café experience in Kingston Upon Thames

“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!”

“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.”

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

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

“We celebrated my son’s 2nd birthday here and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very first message, the coordination and communication were seamless — everything was handled with such care and professionalism. The team went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was perfect, and their service on the day was outstanding. Everything ran smoothly, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and they made the whole celebration feel special and effortless. Our guests were impressed, and my son had the most wonderful time — truly a birthday to remember! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-organized, stress-free, and joy-filled event.”

“I was visiting Kingston from out of town and popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back with a book for a nice cup of coffee when I’m next in Kingston.”

“I popped in today to book a party for my daughter. Incredibly friendly, a very nice atmosphere and a much needed facelift for the place. The fridges are full, looks very welcoming and more like a cafe with pottery. We are very excited to be going tomorrow, will update the review after that”

“Great atmosphere Great Cold Coffee”
