    Very cute little spot, with a nice atmosphere. The owner is very polite and friendly! Food is quite delicious as well. I had the avocado bagels and I really liked it. However, I feel the coffee could've been better. Overall I liked this place and I will totally go back! 😀

    This place is a quaint but always packed place. It serves an amazing coffee with some baked eateries. I still remember it was in my early days in London that I decided to take a walk along the canal, and when I left the canal route at some point I just randomly stumbled upon this cafe, and it got listed into one of my best. The cookies are delicious, and I remember not just eating there but also taking some home. Since it is small it is always packed with a lot of people, but it is surely one of my top 5 cafe's visited in London. Do visit this place, and enjoy a coffee, or even Hot Chocolate on a cold winter day.

    Lovely little place, cookies are 👌🏽 staff are friendly, will try more on next visit. But cold when we were there, even with the door closed but a small thing.

    Randomly stumbled across this lovely coffee shop. Staff member was welcoming and the atmosphere was perfect for a warm spring day. We enjoyed the brownie milkshake and iced latte, so much so that we grabbed another for the road

    I stumbled upon this coffee shop by accident on a cold day when I needed a place to spend an hour before picking up my granddaughter from school. It turned out to be a haven for grandfathers like me. I enjoyed a cup of tea, the cozy atmosphere, and most importantly, the unpretentiousness of the place. They had a wide variety of cakes, all small and perfect for little hands. I must admit, I felt a bit guilty as I used those small cakes to bribe my granddaughter into doing her homework.

    It seems a really cozy place. Had a £3.8 brownie(to go) but it was very average.

    Lovely local coffee / tea shop, nice selection of pastries and cakes. Has pasteis de Nata and at least one vegan option every day

    Very cute local place, with a variety of seating options. I had avocado toast with feta crumbled over the top. Delicious.

    The lovely selection of contemporary books on the tabletop for caffeine-dependent readers like myself fully stole my heart, ordered a warm cup of almond chai latte which was 10/10.

    Wanted to love this place. The service here was bad - my boyfriend and I bought three coffees there between us but we were told to leave unless we ordered food. We were working on our laptops but so were other people. New to the area and wanted this to be our new local but disappointed.

  • 1/5 Tarini S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a disappointment - was served an old and dry pain au chocolat, not everyone can bake the perfect one but the fact that it was stale was disappointing. Not going back for sure as much as I would love to support a local cafe.

  • 2/5 Guy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Genuinely don't understand the good reviews of this place - the worst coffee I've had in London. it's a great location and would be good spot for working but the coffee is undrinkable and cakes are dry. Avoid.

  • 2/5 Lori H. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute cafe and nice vibe but the coffee itself is so bad/bland I had to throw it out half-finished.

  • 5/5 José Alejandro V. 1 year ago on Google
    Tomasina was very nice and kind. I loved the brownie that I had with a defaced coffee

    Nice place, nice owner, however the sandwich I got was pretty bad. Priced at 6.20 I was expecting something fairly decent. I got the feta and tomato sandwich. Basically nothing inside it.

  • 5/5 Fahim M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing quality coffee with nice baked goods. I grabbed one of the best chocolate muffins I've ever had

    Lovely coffee shop, with delicious coffee and cakes and super friendly staff. Chilled out and cosy atmosphere inside. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Melanie G. 1 year ago on Google
    A really lovely shop that make great chai lattes and great for an indulgent sweet coffee. Really nice sitting out in the sun enjoying a coffee there and the staff, especially Thomasina, are super friendly.

    Yammy and great. Small place with big heart and romantic soul inside.

  • 5/5 Emily W. 3 years ago on Google
    I used to go to the deli around the corner all the time purely because it’s more ‘visible’ from the road but I’m so happy I discovered this place recently. The cakes are the best things you’ve ever tasted - especially the brownie!

  • 5/5 Lilach E. 3 years ago on Google
    Have only recently found this place on my lockdown walks and it been a nice treat. I really like their turmeric latte and the little cinnamon treats. The service has been friendly and keep meaning to come back to try the sandwiches

  • 5/5 JOHN DIAMOND 8. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful home made pastries from the makers of Harry and Megan's wedding cake. Lovely seating area under the trees outside on a quiet road.

    We popped in to this cute little café today as we were passing by. Despite its rather small exterior and its not-so-obvious location, the inside was very warm and welcoming; ideal for an independent coffee house. Yes, the place could possibly do with a lick of paint, however when you look past the rustic decor, the atmosphere and the conversation we had with the charming owner over our coffees and cookie made our experience here just lovely. Thank you so much :)
