Bentons in Richmond upon Thames

Wow, what a delightful place! I've seen this and always said I'd pop in. Well, today was the day! I have the BEST coffee I've had in a very long time. I ordered a cooked breakfast, swapping out the sausage for an additional egg. I'm so annoyed I didn't take a picture as it was presented really nicely, plus I couldn't wait to tuck in! 10 out of 10. Lovely staff, plus a quirky little area selling unusual bits and bobs. It was great to see a kiddies table, quite unique! See you again soon, Benton's!

Just scoffed the English breakfast, it was sooo good! And what a lovely welcome from the owners. I'm already planning what to eat next time!

Stopped randomly here for a couple of paninis & drinks . Wow , very welcoming owner , very friendly & extremely generous & delicious food . Best Cafe I've dropped in , in ages . We were obviously not locals but welcomed all the same . 10/10

Lovely helpful staff and excellent coffee

Lovely friendly cafe ...dog friendly too.

Super smart cafe with great coffee, friendly welcome and great atmosphere.

I attended this cafe in May with my sister and friend. We had a great experience here. The food was delicious. The owner of the cafe was very welcoming and friendly and had a nice chat with us. He was so kind to give us free desert and discount for the meal. I highly recommend this cafe.

Great customer service, a local favorite. Thank you!

Cute cafe with lovely atmosphere, lots of nice artworks to look at indoors and good music. The food is absolutely delicious and the chef is a kind generous man. The smoothies are to die for.

Poor staff & service. My partner paid £36 for two breakfasts & orange juices. Once telling me I questioned as this seemed incorrect, I decided to call the restaurant as we had left by this point of our curiosity and double check what the additional charges were for as it didn’t match what I saw on the menu. When I phoned the manager explained the bill but they had rounded up all charges each by 5p which isn’t a lot but more the principle. The also explained that because my partner asked for scrambled egg they decided to charge us an extra £2 for this which is obscene especially when not being notified of this. Once called to question the manager quickly became very rude by overtaking myself, I will not be returning and advise everyone else not too aswell. The value does not outlay the quality.

best coffee shop in London, good service and delisauce

We popped in for a beer on a hot sunny day. They were closing but gave us a beer and let us have some food for free which the chef had made for his family (which was excellent). Very nice gesture and we very much enjoyed the atmosphere. Will return for a full meal soon

They serve good coffee and have a good selection of pastries and scones etc. The owners are friendly and seem to know all the regulars. You always get a small treat to take away.

Just a lovely little place for breakfast or lunch. Kids love it also!

My favourite café in Hampton Hill. Really nice food and lovely service.

Generous portions and decent quality food, but I felt like I was a bit of an inconvenience to the staff by being there. This seems to be a place for regulars and couples as they were all greeted very warmly.

The food was amazing, i’d get a free donut after we finish eating which honestly tastes amazing

A must visit. Lovely Lovely. Would go every day

Really nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. A cosy place on a cold day. Extensive menu. Had nice omelettes and very good chips.

Great place, lovely English breakfast, friendly staff

Friendly welcome, rich strong coffee and delicious pastries.

AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE :) A++++ ⭐️ Have been there so many times over years and introduced to my loved ones to visit Benton’s Cafe in Hampton Hill area. Close to bushy park. The owner has made the friendliest atmosphere and greeted everyone with big smile and good vibes. High quality food and variety of Vegetarian/vegan options were available. Always fresh and always good quality ingredients. Variety of fresh juices and smoothies, ice cream (Dissoto) and game changing coffee in the beginning of our visit made our day. We always enjoy the kindness of owner to leave us speechless at the end with his generosity. Tables are always so clean and we all enjoy the enthusiasm in beautiful decoration and fascinating paintings there. Strongly recommended to visit and enjoy. They sell wine and beer and lots of goodies. Kids and family friendly. Thank you all. Keep it up. 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely awesome little spot, great service and truly excellent food if your wanting a home style filling meal. AAAAA++++++

Great Cafe across from Hampton Court Palace. Good breakfast spot.

Just stopped for a coffee, but the owner knowing my friend, delivered to the table and provided a small plate of biscotti, nice! So much better than either of the Costa outlets in our high street, give it a go.

Was looking forward to trying this local cafe which had good reviews, but unfortunately felt obliged to leave due to rude staff! We sat down and were pushed to order within minutes, told that it busy when there were only two other tables to be served. We were faced with impatience and frustration when we had simple questions about the menu. Staff were huffing and puffing and were unfortunately just generally unpleasant to interact with.. didn't stick around for food but we would not recommend, due to overall unpleasant experience!

My new favorite place. Popped in earlier for a takeaway and received such amazing service. The food is amazing, healthy and very well priced. The man who served me today was so kind and made my day by offering an item on the house. Small kindness goes a long way. Wish I could give you 10 stars. Thank you x

This is my favourite cafe in Hampton Hill and has been for several years. In the morning for an unhurried British breakfast brunch, at lunch for a great selection of Mediterranean options always with an amazing salad, for a creamy ice cream in the afternoon, or for a delicious Iranian meal selection in the evening (the aubergine starters are incredible). I’ve come with my children, friends, colleagues and family and am always made to feel welcome by the lovely owner who accommodates everyone with a generous welcome.

Bentons was a special place for my late father and I have many good memories drinking cold morettis in the summer on the terrace.... Ramen always gives us a warm welcome and along with his wife are great hosts would recommend to anyone who want to enjoy good food and a warm and friendly atmosphere

Amazing customer service and tasty food, should be busier than it is! The guy was so lovely, food was fresh, prices were good.

Lovely and friendly staff, happy to recommend the best items on the menu! Food is delicious with a great mix of flavours, made with real love and care. Lamb shank is tender and soft, and the chicken kebab was juicy and flavourful. Would definitely recommend for a good night out!!

The friendliest cafe & the best eatery in the Hampton Hill Area. We have visited Bentons several times & find the food delicious & very good value. Such charming owners who are incredibly generous often pressing us to enjoy free baclava. Definitely worth visiting.

I've been here half a dozen tes now it's a treat for my sister and me Saturday mornings the food is delicious well presented and plenty the owner is so friendly as are the rest of staff it's like being in the Mediterranean the decor is beautiful even the toilet is exquisite I would definitely recommend a vist

We stopped here for a Disotto ice cream having noticed the sign outside. Once inside we were attracted by the menu & the enthusiasm of the staff so decided to have lunch. We were not disappointed having ordered a wrap + salad & a caesar salad which was more than substantial. Ice cream and free baklava to follow. Such a delightful owner. Very close to Bushy park. We shall be returning.

Popped in here on a Saturday morning by chance having seen a nice sunny table outside. They served breakfast until 3pm which is great as I always enjoy a late brunch! We had a full English breakfast and the ‘eggcellent Benton with halloumi and both were delicious! The food was presented very nicely and both were good portion sizes. Also, the service received was fantastic, our waitress was very friendly with her welcoming/going through menu options/general small talk about if we were local/how we were etc which made a pleasant change. The bill came to £23 which wasn’t bad given the quality/quantity of the food and the staff. Their other food menu for lunch/dinner also looks really nice so we will definitely be back to try some more soon. Thanks!

Visited this lovely little coffee shop while out marketing today. Lovely welcome from the owner & a reasonable priced Latte (also a free sweet treat on the side 😊) Really nice to see the shop were also collecting donations for the Ukraine war victims. As we were leaving the owner gave us a tin of chocolate wafers for our continued working day. Would definitely recommend this shop & would certainly pop in again if in the area. Great customer service guys, an enjoyable experience today ........ thank you x

Hosts are so friendly and professional in this cosy local café. Food is generous and delicious, coffee is excellent. My favourite place for coffee/brunch.

This is a really friendly cafe on Hampton Hill High Street. We always get a warm welcome and excellent service whether we're having coffee or lunch. It's attractively set out with tables both inside and out, and they're always clean.

WOW! Absolute Gem! What an amazing experience at this lovely cafe. Everything was above expectations, from the food to the ambience to the reasonable prices, Everything was great but the service was another level. Thank you Rami and Shaz for the superb service, I am so glad to try this place, you will see us regularly. This place is a MUST TO VISIT if you love good food and great service! 10 out of 10.

An wonderful place to have a taste&healthy meal! The host was very friendly and welcoming! It is an wonderful atmosphere inside with a great local community meetings I've been noticed, that I've found great🤗 We had a fabulous experience here and we definitely will come back and recommend to others as it's deserve 100%!!!!!!

Cozy beautifully decorated...with a nice earl grey tea and perfect carrot cake which made my rainy day elegant... I will definitely be there again and this time for breakfast menu. Thanks to lovely couple running the cafe

Not your typical cafe menu, they have some authentic Iranian dishes which are so tasty and feels so healthy (especially that insane salad). Lovely friendly service too and one of our top local favorites

Very nice breakfast. Good value. Very nice bacon. Friendly staff.

Wonderful cafe, fabulous food at a good price, and the people are so nice!

Good breakfast, good prices great service.

Absolutely AMAZING! Have been past this cafe a few times and looked so cozy and charming so finally got around to visiting today. Im glad I did, the food is delicious, looked and tatsed great and the price are very reasonable But the service is definitely beyond 5 stars, Shaz was friendly, warm and welcoming; it really put a smile on our face. THANK YOU!😊

Great food and very friendly staff.

Lovely little cafe. We just had coffees and cake which was excellent. Great cappuccino which is surprisingly hard to find!! Perfect spot with nice tables outside for some afternoon sun.

Great taste and very cosy atmosphere.

A very nice place, good food and friendly atmosphere. The waitress Zsanett is doing an excellent job.

Support your local! Bentons is one of the best cafes in the area. It's been a regular visit for us, especially during the lockdown periods. Ramin the owner and his assistant Zsanett are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They are always welcoming and super friendly towards us as a family. The coffee is good and 'proper' and the food is lovely, in particular their generous salads, smoothies and juices.

Very enjoyable family lunch today - excellent food and service. Highly recommended!

Best cafe on the High street by far. Forget the big chains, support your small cafe, excellent food & drink and also a Bar license. Ramin(RAMY) is the Owner & wonderful waitress Janet you couldn't get friendlier and really really child friendly.

Very nice cafe with friendly staff and amazing quality foods.

Lovely people and great food would eat there again

Very friendly staff. Big delicious and excellent quality food with reasonable prices. One of the best cafe experience I have ever had. Highly recommended.

It fantastic food for our family and nice ,worm places with kind staff.

Great cafe with fresh food. Quality ingredients lovely and friendly staff.

Bentons Cafe is where I have felt at home in every visit I had. The owners (a gentleman and his wife) are approachable and very patient. Some of the dishes (persian dishes) are home made and are delicious. I will pay them more visits for sure :)

A very calm and cordial place to rest your legs or meet up for a coffee and a cake or food. The Black Americano was fablicious.

He started off ok then he struggled there was a fundraiser for the locals he seemed to get busy however I mainly do take away coffee s hv only eaten in there twice food was ok take aways ok ! However I hv been there twice now you are not allowed to smoke even out side !!!!!!!! fair enough put a sign up ? then he told me off because I gave my little Pug half my sandwich under the table ? I paid 25 £ for not a great meal If you dont like dogs or smokers put a sign up so people wont go there he could not hv been ruder and yes I am his neighbour but there is many other cafes in the high st

Amazingly kind staff, huge portions of very well prepared food at a very reasonable price, great italian coffee, unbelievably delicious tropical fruit smoothie- exactly the restaurant you are looking for!

Great coffee place. We go all the time!!

Great fresh hot coffee and wonderful biscotti! Don’t know about you but nothing like looking forward to a great cup coffee to find it’s Luke warm & can be drunk in 10 seconds. Not the case with Bentons ! Wonderful strong fresh hot coffee to take out - a real treat during lockdown . Great to support the local independent shops .

It’s cold outside- grab yourself a delicious coffee and a warm welcome. Always a great pick me up.

Brilliant customer service and great food.

Bentons is a lovely little cafe/bistro in Hampton Hill High Street, and close to Bushey Park. The staff are warm and wellcomng and the food is delicious. It is spotlessly clean and they implement all safety measures re covid and we feel very safe. It has become our weekly "haunt".

This was my first and most definitely my last visit. The owner told me in no uncertain terms and a very denigrating manner that I was rude for sitting on a table that was too large for me as a single person. I apologised and said that I would be happy to share it with others or move to another table if a larger group came in. As it was, the place was near empty and there was no sign whatsoever that this table was reserved for larger groups only. If anything, another local cafe here even used the exact opposite concept: a large round table where solo customers could sit on and chat with other solo customers, ie a social concept. He could have friendly asked me to move. No need for this aggression. And definitely no excuse to rudely tell you customers that THEY are rude. I feel sorry for the woman. She was nice. The food was not bad either. The man should NOT be in hospitality ! I moved to another local cafe as soon as I could and had a wonderful and very hospitable experience there.

Fantastic breakfast. Quality ingredients lovely Lincolnshire sausages, proper poached eggs, mushrooms not burnt or raw. Coffee comes free with this breakfast. A very nice brunch. Highly recommended. Very nice coffee and they also do very nice juices too.

I just left this place and have been overcharged by around £10. I came back and asked for the receipt and was given a paper with just the total. When I asked for the breakdown, the waiter/barrister cane up with ridiculous prices for his total to add up (£2 for crisps, £2 for a babyccino, and other items. Watch out!!!!

Been here few times already but my review is about my bad experience. Been served twice by a "gentleman" who was very rude, didn't understand my order then when I repeated it again, still made the wrong coffee. He was pulling faces when I told him his mistake. At the same time, was a lady who was asking for something and this guy was rude to her as well. She even left the shop as he started to argue with her. When I got my order from other staff before everything was fine. But this guy shouldn't be in hospitality if he has issues with people. Because of him, I won't go back as the kind service is just as important as the tasty drink/food.

Amazing service and fantastic food for our family. Omelette was great! Highly recommended 👌🏻

Very rude owner. Won’t be returning. Asked for dog bowl as it is supposed to be dog friendly and he was extremely rude to me.

Great little cafe with excellent service. Food is fresh and good quality. Owner super friendly and professional. Have missed going regularly this year, but looking forward to going back again now.

It’s a nice little cafe with the outside seating as well. The food is lovely and they’ve also refurbished during lockdown. Nice work 👍

Lovely place Food is excellent and also staff very friendly

Great coffee. Recently renovated with A beautiful welcoming lay out. Goes without saying the coffee is excellent as is the food. Highly recommend a visit, it will become your go to friendly local independent coffee shop!

Great breakfast. My go to cafe when I cannot be bothered to cook.

I live nearby but only went to this café for the first time today. As soon as we sat down, my son was given a small bucket of toys to play with. This has never happened to me in a café or restaurant before, and was a lovely simple touch, as they kept my son happily entertained. The food arrived quickly, and was really tasty, with generous portions. Prices were reasonable, and service super friendly! We were given a small plate of pastries and marshmallows free of charge when we finished our food, which again was a lovely touch. Will definitely be returning!

Visited after an enjoyable & bracing walk in Bushy Park. Delicious, fresh and good value brunch washed down with lovely freshly squeezed orange juice. All yummy! There was a good choice of vegetarian options and the service was friendly. An additional nice touch was to be given a small complementary pastry (Baklava) after our meal. Bentons is also licenced for those wishing alcohol. Highly recommended cafe.

Lovely wrap with excellent accompanying salad and delicious fresh ginger and lemon tea

I visited for the first time this morning. The staff were friendly and food was served in a good time. Excellent choices on breakfast menus serving meat, salmon and vegetarian options. Reasonable price. Toilet very clean. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely breakfast- thank you. And the vegetarian sausages are absolutely delicious!!!

Lovely food and hospitality from wonderful hosts. Good quality ingredients too.

My mum and myself have made this place our regular brunch place whenever I visit. Ingredients are good and so is the result.

My new favourite cafe. Excellent menu with a wide range of breakfasts, hot meals and sandwiches. All served with a special, fresh salad. The couple that run it are extremely friendly and work really hard and they are building a good team to support them. Highly recommended.

Very lovely cafe restaurant , Lovely atmosphere, very good quality of food and coffee that I really love it, I always enjoy to go here and spend my time here especially with my family, Very nice staff that I enjoy most of the time here, I highly recommend this cafe when you are in the high street Hampton ...

Food, service, cleanliness excellent. Very pleasant staff. Will certainly tell our friends about Bentons and we will continue to visit as often as we can.

Highly recommended to visit this place. Fresh drinks, coffee, tasty food, great value. Excellent and friendly staff (family business). Quick service if you want to order take away - simple make a call, order and pick it up in 10-15 minutes. Great place for local area. Thank you for your warm hospitality!

My twife and I went in for a quick lunch, and right away, we were greeted by the owners wife, who was very friendly, I ordered eggs on toast with avocado topping and toasted plum tomatoes the meal was a delight, my wife choose smoked salmon with scrambled egg, which she also said was delicious, on asking for the bill, it arrived with a small bunc of white grapes, also two pieces of baclarva. one to try.

Amazing coffee and excellent breakfast !!! Best on the high st .... Will be back soon !!!

A quick bite to eat is rewarded with a personally prepared and presented lunch, good espresso coffee and normally a complimentary small pastry or fruit. We have been several times, sometimes just the coffee and sometimes with lunch. A valued addition to the high street and an independent trader as well.

Really lovely brunch breakfast. Well-cooked. Great veggie sausages. Friendly, prompt service from Noah. Excellent value. Really recommend

I just visited this cafe for the first time since it has new owners and was really impressed with the food and service. There are some interesting new additions to the menu and the owners are very attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you live or are in the area!

Nice and friendly cafe, good service and food.

First Holy Communion for Daniel

Decided to try as live locally and had noticed that now offers a fuller food menu. I chose the falafel wrap with chips and a coffee. The food was very tasty and priced competitively compared to others in the area. Good size coffee too although Lavazza is not to my personal taste.

My Wife and I stopped at this Cafe after going out on our Tandem. We were slightly hungry and after cycling passed a well known Scottish restaurant, Mc something or other we decided to spend our money supporting our local businesses. So glad we did as we found a gem.
