Tania's Of Hampstead

Cafe

👍 You’d need to seek this out in the shambly Antique and Craft Emporium alleyway. Quirky, enterprising family business that ploughs its furrow with its own inimitable “concoctions”, and a range of ancillary artisanal products that deviate from the commonplace. The coffee is flavoursome, robust and hig...

The Wilds Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 A friend recommended this place. The food is amazing. Simple healthy menu yet so flavourful and satisfying! Small, quaint cafe and family friendly. They have a selection of toys to keep my toddler busy. A little pricey compared to surrounding cafes but well worth it. Would definitely come again.

166 CafeBar

Cafe

👍👍 What can I say? I have a thing for cute cafes and chai lattes. TL;DR: This cafe bar is great for working during the day (WiFi available) or if you're in need for a delicious drink prior to your stroll through beautiful Battersea Park. Not going to lie, there's not a lot of cute cafes in this area....

Fresh Ground Coffee House Eltham

Coffee shop

👍👍 Lovely cafe/community hub/space which does a bit of everything. Ordered a cappuccino, latte and babychino which were all quite good (a bit cold if I had to be critical) and a tea cake. The menu seemed well priced and the plates that others were eating looked good. Perhaps the biggest draw card was...

Small Talk Tearooms Romford

👍👍 I visited Talking Tea Rooms after some time to see if there had been any changes, and I'm pleased to report that the service, food, and atmosphere remain just as high.

You Don't Bring Me Flowers

Florist

👍👍 Amazing coffee, great pastries, bread and the most glorious selection of plants and flowers. This shop is heaven. Can be busy after school drop off first thing in the morning but the community built ‘arc’ outside is fantastic to be able to prop yourself under if the weather is bad.
