👍👍 Really friendly staff and management. Chai lattes are amazing and original price for using alternative milks like Oatly. A range of healthy meals and drinks available. Relaxing and cosy atmosphere to help creative minds explore while sipping me a cup of coffee.

    I’ve been coming to Resta for my morning coffee on the way to work for over a year now and their iced mochas have quickly earned their place in my top 3 favourite places to go for coffee! The staff are always super friendly and I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my order. I love going in there in the mornings and smelling the croissants baking! Protein shakes are super yummy too, I must arrange to try their food sometime soon :)

    i go here A LOT. the cappuccino is really good! i came in one time in floods of tears after hearing bad news and couldn't even utter my order out of my mouth, the young blonde girl behind the counter knew my order by heart and just made it without asking and gave me a lovely smile so so so sweet. then someone spilt my drink by accident and she made it again 😭 i love this coffee shop. warm cosy coffee is top tier it's conveniently placed and for a gym girl like myself they have protein shakes. even the chocolate sprinkles for your coffee is vegan🌱 💕

    Love the chill and relax atmosphere, and the music. Not to mention of the great quality of coffee bean from this café. Good value, not to mention of the service. However, the best one is the only Maya , who always brings out her sunshine smile to everyone even when the customers appear with serious look. Shout out to her professional service especially on the day of cash only incident. I appreciate her way of smoothing out the customers miserableness when they learnt about cash only. Keep it up , and she is definitely a role model in F&B / Coffee industry. Cheers!

    Great coffee shop, reasonably priced as well. 2x coffee and 2 x breakfast for £15…Lewisham’s first decent coffee shop. Great if you could get some planters outside to make the outdoor space / tables more pleasant and distract from the road.

    A regular Saturday lunch time haunt for me and my partner. Good coffee, relaxed atmosphere and plenty of Avocado to go round! A nice range of sandwiches, smoothies and milkshakes to also choose from. Now, I have to be honest and say GREAT cakes also..... but I tend to indulge with one of those during the week when I pop out for a work break. Tell no one, as I will be in trouble with 'er indoors. One of my fav places in Lewisham!

    Lovely start to the day. Excellent coffee, delicious pastry, friendly staff and relaxing music. Will definitely return if I'm in the area again!

    One of the best options for breakfast/brunch in Lewisham. Great selection of smoothies and sandwiches, plus their coffee is decent. Overall a nice place to chill with a laptop on a lazy weekend morning.

    Not sure how new this place is stumbled upon it when a local cafe nearby was closed. I enjoyed the atmosphere and was quiet so good for work or client meetings. Had a delicious hot chocolate ☕

    I recently visited this cafe hoping to grab breakfast, enjoy some coffee, and catch up on urgent emails. Upon asking about the availability of WiFi, both baristas seemed unaware and had to check. While I understand if they were new, it was disappointing that they lacked knowledge about their own establishment. They eventually informed me of BT WiFi but mentioned their strict no-laptop policy, which meant I couldn't use my device. I politely inquired if I could use my laptop for a short period (around 20-30 minutes) since the cafe wasn't crowded, with only three people present and several empty tables. They consulted the manager, who unfortunately refused to speak with me directly and denied my request to use the laptop. I believe my requests were reasonable for a coffee shop, especially considering my willingness to order food and coffee. It was disheartening that the staff showed little willingness to accommodate or assist me. This experience, coupled with inconsistent service from inexperienced baristas during my previous visits, including subpar coffee and a lack of knowledge about an 'eXpresso,' as well as dry and tasteless cake, has left me with no desire to return. Additionally, the apparent rudeness of the manager only further solidifies my decision. I work in hospitality and this type of welcome is not what I would expect from an empty coffee shop.

    I go to Resta almost everyday. The coffee is amazing. The food is great quality, size and fresh. I always find the staff incredibly helpful and friendly. I tend to see other regular clients all the time, which tells me that we’re all very happy with the place and keep going back! Highly recommended!

    Lovely little Caffe! They serve such delicious, freshly prepared food! My favourite is the avocado on sourdough topped with feta, coffee included in the price. Great for breakfast, lunch and as a snack whenever in the area.

  • 5/5 Rodrigo Oliveira (. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love Resta Coffee. Sometimes I just visit to seat with my laptop and workbooks whilst having a delicious coffee along with their avocado on toast and feta cheese that are to die for. The staff members are always friendly and very accommodating and prices are reasonable good for a breakfast out. At the shop you’ll find a selection of eateries, e.g muffins, toasts, sandwiches and more. Surely can fit all tastes and I definitely recommend.

    Awesome flat white here this morning, owner and staff super friendly, get on down there and support your local indy!!!

  • 4/5 Monica 1 year ago on Google
    A very friendly cafe with delicious drinks and food! Super friendly for kids as well and my toddler got a free babyccino on the few occasions we visited. My only concern is the 40p charge for alternative milks and the overwhelming amount of avocado on the menu! We want to live a more sustainable life as a family and avocados are not a sustainable product for many reasons, especially in the UK. Also, I am tired of cafes charging extra for alternative milks - we should be encouraging people to steer away from dairy products not discouraging them.. I understand that alternative milks are slightly more expensive to buy but a 40p charge is no longer acceptable when some cafes no longer charge for alternative milk.. It would be good to see a positive change as this is a really lovely cafe that I want to visit frequently and Lewisham town centre needs more cafes such as this!

    Popped in mid-morning on 17/8 with my partner after reading the glowing reviews. Took a seat inside where neither of the 2 waitresses appeared to acknowledge our entry. Sat for 10 mins waiting for a menu to be brought to our table before giving up hope and heading down the road to the much friendlier and popular Maggie’s where we were warmly greeted and promptly served. Politeness and common courtesy cost nothing but go a long way. We won’t be returning.

    Lovely place, lovely staff! (The owner himself is really attentive and cares for customers!). They also serve sandwiches and breakfast food. Although it's not very elaborate (don't expect eggs Benedict or anything like that), it is lovely. And prices are very much reasonable 10/10

    I ordered a Raspberry cake slice and a Vanilla Frappe. Both were absolutely delicious! Relaxed atmosphere and polite staff.

  • 5/5 Lydia 2 years ago on Google
    Been waiting to give a 5 star review for weeks! Really great staff, tasty sandwiches and cannoli, as well as a nice wide range of smoothies and hot drinks. Nice to finally have a local independent coffee shop! Make sure you continue with the loyalty card please!🤞

    “Favourite cafe in town” Lovely quaint shop in the hustle and bustle of Lewisham. Fantastic coffee and mouth watering snacks. Variety of beverages and options available. The staff was very welcoming and courteous. I would happily recommend this place to anyone..

    Lovely coffee shop. Only recently found it but have been three days in a row as the coffee is so good, the staff are lovely and it's dog friendly. Best coffee in the area.

    Went in this morning after walking past plenty of times, and happy to have made it in on this occasion! Very friendly staff, great coffee and delicious looking baked goods (will have to try these next time). Will be heading back for sure

    Cosy little cafe shop in the Lewisham center. The coffee was second to none. I saw lots of sockets around so excellent for sitting in with a laptop. The prices are reasonable.
