Balance Community Cafe in Kingston upon Thames

Peach lager was exquisite in the sunshine

Tom was our sever and he was incredibly attentive. He ensured our drinks were topped up ah all times. Food and drinks both excellent

Came for breakfast … well what can I say !! The manager started to clear away condiments and cutlery which he had only put down 10 minutes before hand and I reminded him that we hadn’t eaten as yet … 45 minutes later our food turned up … presented lovely on the plate but was cold ‘ when I spoke to the manager he was rude and not too bothered that we weren’t happy ‘ I challenged him on the ham used for eggs Benedict as it was in fact left over roast pork not ham … he was very sarcastic and said ham is pork !! Told him we didn’t want our food and ordered some toast instead which when brought to the table we received another sarcastic comment And to be charged £30 for coffee and toast was a bit extreme !!! Won’t be returning and suggest you don’t bother going either

Great spot for GF options! Had the arepa and chips. Note, they do use the same hot plate for wraps and arepas - ask to wipe down before use to minimize gluten cross contamination risks.
