    Just had one of the best flat whites that I have ever had. Definitely will be a go to when in Kew in the future! Didn't have any food, but from what I could see, it looked fantastic, especially the cakes and pastries.

    Stopped by SIFT for afternoon tea and to wait out the rain. The cherry cake and pain aux raisin (recommended by the barista) were really on point and went well with our warm drinks. The pastry was crispy and caramel-y without being too sweet. They have gluten-free options as well. The service was very friendly and warm :) Loved the music that they had on, and the atmosphere is really nice and relaxed. Would love to come by Sift again if I am in the area.

    Came all the way to visit this place and was not disappointed. Good coffee, lovely plates and mugs, a wide range of cakes and lunch dishes to choose from, and friendly staff! Really enjoyed the vibes in general. Those who live nearby are lucky to have a cafe like this.

    Fantastic place for coffee and sandwiches, oh and the fresh bakery is to die for! Plenty of seating inside, while it doesn’t seem like it from the street. Sift also sell fresh bread πŸ₯–

    Sift is my local coffee shop for work and honestly can't get enough of it. Nick and all the team are great, the warmest welcome you will ever get. The coffee is exceptional and the food is so rlite. Full of flavour and beautiful textures as well they really care about the quality. I can specifically recommend the bacon, avocado bagel and the Spinach and Feta Filo pastry.

    Their products are very attractive and displayed very nicely. This review is just for the rose, cardamom and pistachio cake I tried which was oddly dry and too moist at the same time. It tasted kind of stale at the bottom and was soaked with syrup on the top. Overall lacking in flavour. I couldn’t taste any rose or cardamom and then the pistachio flavour was barely there. I didn’t enjoy the icing at all. I’m a bit disappointed seeing as it was for 3.80.

    I got one of the nicest flat white here. Staff is kind, place is warm and cosy with oldschool style. Nice homemade desserts and appetizers are delicious. Thanks for vibes. Cheers

    Very cool place just off Kew Green. Delicious and fresh made food, excellent coffee and a real laid back atmosphere. The guy behind the counter knows what he is doing, is really fast under pressure and still has time for a friendly chat. We went there every day at least once while we stayed in Richmond!

    This is such a great find. I saw this place from my car waiting at a red light and since then I decided to go in the following day. Seriously one of the best coffees I’ve ever had. I’m Italian and born in Australia so we know coffee. Please go here and sit in and order an oat latte. You will have a great time! Menu and food also looks amazing. I have not tried it yet except for the croissant which was awesome.

    Tasty sandwiches, wide selection of baked goods and friendly service. Made a pitstop before visiting Kew garden and it was perfect cozy lunch spot. Seemed like it is a popular place among locals 😁

    SIFT Bakes and Brews is an absolute gem of a cosy cafe that more people should get to know about! This is a stylish little local cafe hidden away on the traffic light junction of Kew Road and Mortlake Road on the edge of Kew Green, Richmond. The staff are super friendly and always happy to help in anyway possible with your orders. Their hand crafted coffee is great, the cakes and sandwiches are delicious and naughty just the way we like them! But, their salads are exceptional and I LOVE THEM! If you are ever in the area visiting or just passing through, then make sure to drop in and give SIFT a try, you will not be disappointed!

    Amazing food and vibe. Limited seating

  • 5/5 Renita D. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 19 reviews New
    Really cute cosy place in/near Kew Gardens. It's clearly well loved because I popped in yesterday and it was so full. But I took a delicious pastry and coffee to go.

    Great coffee and delicious food, awesome service. Support your local, I will definitely return.

  • 5/5 William I. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 5 reviews
    Wide assortment of food and coffee (had a sausage roll and carrot cakeβ€”both very good). Barista was super friendly and the place has a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend stopping by when in the area.

    Good value, freshly made food. Very nice coffee. Friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Felix M. 1 year ago on Google
    Small, chill and friendly cafe that also serves v60. However, not many choices on beans. Food is decent. Good place to work, with plug and WiFi. One man managed all very efficiently. Bike locked by the rail in front of the store as there are no bike stands in sight. Man even offered to lend me a bike lock.

    Generous portions and a cosy atmosphere- will be coming here whenever I’m in Richmond!

    Brilliant cafe near Kew Gardens. Excellent sausage rolls, salad and cake! Great and friendly service and a great selection. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Kew Lettings G. 1 year ago on Google
    The team at Sift are always super friendly! Such an amazing local coffee shop that we all love here at Dexters. We are proud to be in the community with them. (we are also big fans of the Biscoff bakes!)

  • 3/5 Oliver M. 1 year ago on Google
    The cake was excellent and the place looks lovely, but the drinks (a mocha and a hot chocolate) were weak and would not order again. The service was slow. We live locally and would liked to have given more than 3 stars but need to be honest

  • 5/5 Rob H. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this Bakery. The Cinnamon Rolls with Cinnamon sugar are amazing and their bacon and beer sausage rolls are very good. Also I have not yet had but their salads look incredible.

  • 5/5 Sunita D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of my fav coffee places. They serve great coffee and have a great selection of cakes, pastries. Lots of vegan options too. I LOVE the vegan jam donuts. So good. Everyone is so friendly and love the whole laid back vibe in the shop. I always leave this little haven with a smile and a good coffee in my hand.
