Beanberry Coffee in Kingston upon Thames

marina was an amazing and super knowledgeable barista! i’m not really a coffee person but my friends who went with me said that their drinks were incredible. the brownie was SO GOOD. we will definitely be back!!!

Excellent coffee!! Lovely vegan cake! Amazing location!

I ordered a coffee, and it took a bit too long, though there were 3 on duty. I knew something was up and thought I'd confirm that my order had come through. I'm lucky I checked because the baristas didn't have my order on their ticket system. I received my coffee and it was not warm. I was in too much of a rush to return, and to be honest, there was a time when I would have said this was the best coffee shop in Kingston town centre, but definitely not now.

Best iced latte! And nice location

I went there for a few days in a row and the coffee was really consistently good. I had some food as well and their pastries were excellent especially the chocolate croissant. It’s already solid choice in Kingston for coffee probably the best I’ve been to. They also had decaf available.

Nice flavoured coffee but not really hot enough. Almond croissant dry and heavy. Pain au raisin the same Staff going through the motions. Not a welcoming atmosphere. At £7 a head for coffee and pastries doesn't hit the spot.

Friendly service, best coffee in SW London

Very good customer service and a great cold brew. Thank you.

Excellent coffee, choice of pastries, and dog-friendly to boot!

Always make sure to pop in for a coffee when I’m in Kingston, as I avoid the big chains and their bitter brews. Beanberry is lovely speciality coffee and they sell their beans too.

I have visited beanberry twice now Great coffee, friendly staff and great play list. I love the chilled atmosphere. I will definitely be back x

Awesome coffee and the most friendly staff. The girls are amazing!

12.50 for espresso, mocha and crossaint. Unfortunately the crossaint was not fresh and the espresso was undrinkable- way too bitter.

The best coffee in Kingston with lots of specialty methods and roasts, vastly better than any of the nearby chains. They sell a small selection of nice pastries including a killer peanut butter brownie but no lunch food.

The people whom make the coffee make the coffee. Recommend for a v60 for sure.

True meaning of speciality coffee and equally friendly customer service- we can’t wait to return

Excellent coffee...a bit on the cold side for me but the taste was amazing.

I’ve been a regular at this place over the years. It’s been a reason to come to Kingston - until today. They charged me £4.80 for a decaf oat flat white. That’s nearly £5.00 for a coffee, having lived just off Columbia Rd in East London for a couple of years I’ve never paid anywhere near that for a coffee. Quite simply - grow up people, this is profiteering at a childish scale.

Stick to the coffee and it's an amazing place. This is just a gem in Kingston. A tiny place but the staff is very chill and quick to serve you with well trained Batista's behind the counter. The coffee is just flawless. Their main one is called JavaScript which has some special signature flavour profile that just elevates it above any other I tasted ( and I have tasted quite a few good coffee including admired ones like Monmouth coffee etc.) The only disappointment I had was the croissant I once tried which was big but dry and flavourless. So stick to the coffee and you will love the place. :)

I am a regular customer and I’ve been told today to don’t feed my baby with own food because the shop is offering food at the counter while I was having a coffee. I am visiting so many top independent coffee shops in London where people are kids friendly and community oriented. I am not feeding kids with pastries that’s why I came for coffee. I won’t come back again and I was visiting quiet often. Baby was eating snack and food which was homemade and no one had any problems. It’s ridiculous

I used to love Beanberry and was a regular visiting every day, sometimes twice since opening in 2016. Not only was the coffee the best in Kingston, but also the staff who worked there were not only coffee experts but kind, caring, and welcoming. Despite being an univiting, dark space, the coffee and the people made it worthwhile. Over the last month there has been a change in staff who simply do not want to be there, or ironicallly don't want customers to be there, lots of eye rolling, whispering about customers after they leave and not even looking up to take your order. Such a terrible shame.

Opening times are incorrect close at 5 on Saturdays not 6pm

Bought an oat milk late. Over priced, in a flat white takeaway cup. Coffee awful.

Undoubtedly very good coffee, have been several times however don't waste your money on their pastries. I just had one of the most disappointing croissants. It was stale, bready and left a bad taste, extra sting that it cost £2.90! Will go back for the coffee but never the pastries.

Frankly too expensive for what you get and for the attitude of some of the staff. Coffee is good, but doesn't make up for what's lacking.

My favourite coffee place. The v60 and chamex are good value. Get the Chamex and you can share it between two.

Really friendly staff, relaxed environment and great tasting espresso! All around good experience.

We used to go to Beanberry a lot. I don’t anymore after being served twice by the same unpleasant member of staff. I emailed the owner about my experience and got a very sarcastic response. It’s a shame as you really want to support local, independent business but not this one!.

This is "the" place to go in the area if you actually care about your coffee

Best coffee in London, love the drip coffee especially. Cakes are a bit pricey though.

This place has the most obnoxious staff. The service is on their terms. They couldn’t give a cr*p about customers and are just focussed on trying to look cool working in a coffee shop. It is no wonder they have so few customers and then you go down a few shops into Caffè Nero and it’s packed. For an independent, the staff are meant to feel more personal, but honestly you’d think they were paying you to turn up. The arrogance. Do not go there.

Great coffee and delicious pastries. Nice selection of coffee beans, too!

Nice, chill place. Visited for a quick bite to eat and a coffee as it was pouring down with rain outside. The cake I ate was nice and the coffee was good, however they were ridiculously overpriced. Unfortunately for that reason alone, I don't think I'll be returning here anytime soon.

Very good speciality coffee. Many options to try and enjoy.

Best coffee in town. Their freshly ground coffee tastes and smells incredible!

The best coffee shop in Kingston I was walking by and the strong aroma brought me straight in , the staff were amazing and made me feel very welcome, I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area,marina was fabulous.

Strong coffee how I like it , although will cost you a few extra pence then most independent coffee shops

Some of the best coffee in Kingston. Option of different beans/roasts for all coffee drinks, including espresso and filter drinks.

Unfortunately, just as other reviewers have said, the guy was abrupt, unhelpful and quite rude both to my friend and to two other customers whose drinks were cold. Seating is uncomfortable and ambience poor. We went there because I like to support independent places, but won't be back.

Delicious local hipster coffee place. Best we have tried in Kingston and closest we’ve found to the brews you can get in town / east London 😋

Coffee is great, pastries just so-so. Nice atmosphere and a comfortable place to take shelter in colder days.

The staff in here have now decided to just be rude and unpleasant to the customers. Although this does not apply to the manager, it is never good to made to feel uncomfortable when going for a coffee. It is a shame as it used to be good.

No complaints about the coffee, it has always been good, ever since it opened. What has happened to the staff? They have gone from being rude to outright hostile to customers.

So good, great coffee and service.

Excellent coffee! Best V60 I've had in the area for sure - if not in the whole of London.

They are quiet up themselves when you ask them about their coffeee. Appreciate good coffee bean but attitude doesnt match unfortunately. They speak down to you rather than informative. 1 star for service and attitude. 1. Star for quiet a foamy coffee not micro coffee But they know their beans, maybe next time attitude will match the coffee beans

One of the best coffee in kingston

Lovely place for a great coffee. With a selection of various blends & single origins, drip and V60 coffees. Highly recommended.

Good spot to grab a hot drink! However if you end up on one of the red ikea stools its not the most comfy to sit for a while!

Really nice place, I always try and come by when I'm in Kingston. Glad the staff here have helped me on the way to actually enjoying coffee! Particular shout out to the American(?)-accented stafg member who helped me pick out a bean to take home and try for myself just before Christmas

Excellent coffee. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They even gave me a spare umbrella when mine got caught in the door and broke! Highly recommend if you enjoy great coffee.

I have been visiting Beanberry for many years as the coffee is very good. However in recent times, the service has become so rude and arrogant that I won’t be going back. My visit yesterday was amusing in its absurdity. I ordered a large single shot dry cappuccino - an unusual order I know, but it’s how I like my coffee and every other independent coffee shop in the area is happy to make my coffee as I like it. Not Beanberry though. I was told that they don’t do dry foam and cappuccinos come in a small size. I asked whether it would be possible to make a cappuccino in a large cup but with just one shot of coffee. “No” was the answer. “If you want that, then order a latte”. Ok I said but could you make cappuccino style foam, ie a bit thicker. “No, we only do micro foam. So you can have a flat white or a latte”. I pointed out that I was the customer and surely their highly trained barristers knew how to make thicker foam. “They do but you can’t have that. We are an artisan coffee shop and we only make micro foam”. That’s apparently what the owner has told this particularly rude cashier and he wasn’t budging. There was no flexibility and no consideration of delivering customers what they ask for. To be fair he made me a latte for free, which was perfectly nice, but not what I ordered. He had the audacity to tell me on my way out that next time I should order a latte. I gently pointed out that there would not be a next time. This place is so up itself that it’s going to turn off customers. If you like micro foam lattes then you won’t be disappointed with the coffee, but the atmosphere created by the rude and arrogant staff just isn’t worth it. If you’re in Kingston, try Local Hero instead. If you’re in nearby Surbiton try the Press Room. Both do great coffee and are really friendly. And they make your coffee as you ask.

Great place for the coffee lover with a wide range of coffees to enjoy ( I had the drip Peru Olga Calle), and a really chilled atmosphere.

Everything is was really good would highly recommend

The coffee tasted good... but the staff was unfriendly. It's not rude, but even though the cafe is not busy, they don't provide basic customer service at all. Is this a cafe whose concept is employees with aloof attitude? The employees feel like just coffee machines.....

Great coffee and pastries served by pro coffee baristas

Did not disappoint! Flat white was good and baked goods light and tasty. Atmosphere of coffee shop very nice.

I had an awful experience at this establishment with a seemingly angry or begrudged cashier. Verbatim I asked him “ Please may I have a Cappuccino” he replied anything else so I stated “if there’s milk in it please may it be either oat milk or soya milk”( due to my dairy intolerance. He rudely said back to me “ Cappuccino’s usually contain milk”, with such a belittling tone, implying my lack of knowledge or understanding of such a basic drink. Then repeatedly asked me “which one” in reference to my milk choice, I had stated either is fine as often I have found certain coffee houses to only carry one, but i can understand the potential frustration of my indecisive answer. Later that day, my stomach began to churn and moan, turns out that I was given dairy milk rather than a lactose free substitute and this impeded the rest of my working day. I always approach service workers with courtesy so I don’t think I am at fault here, I hope that man reflects on his behaviour as it was very inappropriate for work within the food service industry, the coffee wasn’t even good.

The staff are rude and obnoxious I left without my coffee places like that don't deserve your money.

The best coffee place in southwest London. Coffee is great! One of the best espresso I have ever tasted!

Really good coffee but depressing interior and unfriendly staff. The windows are often steamed up to the point of not being able to see out which adds to the gloom. Coffee is really good though.

Best coffee in Kingston, great snacks, super-friendly staff. Solid WiFi so a good place to work/study.

Their filter coffee and their pastries are simply amazing. It is the best coffee you can ever drink in a 20 miles radius

I passed by this cafe and it looked interesting. Beautiful coffee smell when you enter and you see the nice design and the very cheerful staff. I tried the affogato and my wife went with the mocha. They were very nice. Highly recommended

Great coffee. 8am opening time means I can't go as often as I would. 7.30 weekdays would get a few more through the door. Especially with the big new office buildings being built.

Best coffee in Kingston! I'll choose Beanberry over others every time.

The people who run this place are always friendly and welcoming and really know their stuff. Highly recommended. One update to this as of September 2023. Their wifi is extremely patchy. The router often needs a reboot in order to allow you to connect. Not a coffee shops primary purpose I know, but as a lot of people use these places for work etc. it's pretty important to know you can trust the connection.

Lovely place. The Scandinavian? girl was nice🙄

Very good coffee and tasty, tasty cakes!

I visited this cafe after doing a little bit of shopping and it was the right decision! The people behind the bar were really friendly and nice and were happy to help. The homemade brownie I had was delicious and perfectly sized and the general atmosphere was amazing! Would very much recommend.

Quality of coffee is really good & can meet the expectations of very picky & choosy customers in my opinion.

As per other reviews, lovely place with lovely coffee, but there is one member of the team bringing down the reviews. Not sure if he's the manager/owner as the other staff seem to let him get away with his rudeness? It's a shame as he ruined the experience for me.

I often visit here . coffee is nice but I feel that it's a bit pricey ! Decaf coffee lover must pay for extra 😱.

Love Beanberry! The best coffee in Kingston, together with Local Hero and Fortunella. I wish they still did their ginger flapjack which was amazing! A good variety of pastries and cakes there though! (Iwish they had a ramp of some sort as there’s quite difficult to get inside the cafe with a buggy. Especially when the door is shut. I have actually gone somewhere else a few times when I’ve seen the door closed)

Quite simply the BEST coffee in Kingston. Even their decaf tastes great! The staff are always nice too.

For me, the wild cat flat white was perfect ☕️ My son said the carrot cake and chai latte were more delicious than Starbucks ones. 🥕

A real coffee aficionado's hangout; when I went, there was four different choices of bean to choose from. The drip options, Chemex are all here. I chose the single origin in a cappuccino without chocolate, and it was a delight - perfectly made, and with a really complex but smooth taste. The interior has a modern warehouse vibe to it. This is the best place for coffee in Kingston that I have found so far. Very polite and friendly staff. The only down side is that the view from the window is just a drab concrete shop in a side street. Recommended.

Great coffee. And the cakes! The chocolate cookies are {{chef’s kiss}}

Great coffee, but it needs to be served hot not good enough.

The cappuccino and hot chocolate (husband's drink) were both very good, both in terms of texture and taste. The venue was, however, soulless. Grey walls and doors, coupled with chrome bar stools and staff in a central 'fish bowl' made for a really grim experience. The staff call you when your order is ready. American influence, perhaps? Whatever; a brighter decor, table service and no itchy brain hip hop music would probably see me return. As it was, we were out of there very quickly.

Tuesday, 5th Apr, 1:40pm One of the best cafés I've ever visited. Excellent customer service. Very helpful, natural and welcoming. (Gentleman with long-ish, wavy hair) Outstanding coffee. Received a drink that outweighed my expectations. Texture, temperature and taste were all spot on! The chocolate peanut brownie was phenomenal, too! Decor is a little bland, but the quality of drinks, food and service easily make up for it. . . . . Note to staff/owner: Dark wood flooring and dark grey walls make for a very elegant combination. The place feels a little empty, though. Ever thought of introducing evergreen plants to fill the space and add a little colour to the interior? ;)

Simply love it! Positive and very helpful staff. If you appreciate your coffee this is the place to go

Great customer service, amazing coffee, very broad variety of coffee! Great!

Some of the best coffee I have had in London. As Scandinavian that's always a blessing :)

Great coffee and super chilled place, great to step out of a busy day from a crowded town

They know how to make proper coffee.

One of Kingston's finer coffee houses. Good beans. Good baristas. Cakes and snacks are a little on the light side. The cortado is a fine example of the delightful hipster staple.

Such a nice coffee selection! I did not try the cakes yet but they look so nice by the looks of it.

Wonderful stuff, I'm here every day with my friend for caffè. I love it .

The shop refused to take cash for payment but will take tips as cash. Where is the logic? My last time here.

Coffee has always been great here, but I can’t say the same for the service unfortunately.

Really smooth coffee with a silky taste. Feels light and not overpowering. No bitterness and no strange after taste.

Proper coffee by proper barista. Sounds bland, but no higher praise tbh! Whenever I'm in Kingston it's where I go.

Excellent coffee, the Guji Gora was amazing!

Probably the best coffee in Kingston, that actually tastes of coffee...not the roast!

Slightly disappointed in the separation in the milk foam

I travel long distances for good coffee, after a long walk from west London I discovered this place, they have three varieties of coffee beans, I asked for a smooth one with one sugar, latte was probably one of the best I’ve had. Great little coffee shop for coffee connoisseurs

Small cafe. Good coffee and quick service.

I visited the Organic Coffee shop yesterday with my 2 year old daughter. We arrived at 14:25 on 20-12-2021. We ordered 2 hot drinks and two toasted sandwiches to sit in. The lady at the front desk was polite and great with the service. There was a gentlemen fixing the coffee machine and seemed to be very angry. When we received our drinks I asked the lady if she could pour our hot chocolate into a take away cup for my daughter so that she does not spill. The gentlemen with the beard that was fixing the coffee machines shouted me for standing there and I explained that I'm waiting for the lady to pour my coffee drink into a takeaway cup. He said I must listen and when I was explaining to him I was waiting for the lady to pour it for me he walked away. We continued to eat our meal and I was upset. He also burnt the toast but I'm not complaining about that. When we left, I told him thank you and I said next time you must be polite to customers and he they started being rude again. he said if I want to review or complain I must do so. There was a staff change and when I asked the new lady at the front till for his name she said No. Absolutely shocking service from that gentlemen with the beard behind the counter. Racist behavior..

Very good but they charge like a wounded buffalo. One Americano, one hot chocolate and two pain au chocolat for £13.40 Having written that down it is so ludicrous that maybe I got mischarged.
