Coffee Break in Kingston upon Thames

Fantastic place! They serve a good range of food, drinks and breakfasts which are all very good quality and fairly priced. They are also one of the few places in Kingston that are open before 7am. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and make you feel at home when inside. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and there is a mix of both indoors and outdoors seating.

Tucked just around the corner from the hustle and bustle of Kingston town centre, this breakfast spot is a true hidden gem. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—perfect for those who want to enjoy a good meal without the noise of the main streets. Service here is quick, friendly, and genuinely polite, making the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. The staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The food? Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and consistently delicious. Whether you're grabbing a full English or something lighter, you’ll leave satisfied. And the best part—everything is very reasonably priced, making it great value for money. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a peaceful, quality breakfast spot that doesn’t break the bank.

Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere and even more wonderful service, will be returning many more times for sure.

Wonderful food and always lovely service. We're lucky to work right nearby as the food is great eat in or take away. Absolutely reccomend the vegetarian breakfast!

Excellent service and Excellent food I have been coming here for years Very Clean an Tidy Friendly Staff Would recommend it whole heartedly.

Exactly what I needed after a long night! It's my first time, excellent service taken care of completely. No vegan option but at least I feel better :) thanks Peter ( the owner )

Great place staff are very friendly

Having to retract our earlier positive review. On this occasion the vegan and I ordered 2 seperate meals (one meat free) but both fell ill shortly after with very similar symptoms. Edit: Noting the reply from the business so will clarify that my wife did not have the fry with meat that I had. Maybe stick to the issue raised?

Very good prices a very welcoming customer service, the boss always comes an greets me and makes sure I’m well taken care of. Would recommend!

Just had the best bacon and egg sandwich in the whole of south west London. Great service and atmosphere. Quality outstanding. Recommend

Great staff and service. Tasty and affordable food and the staff make us feel welcome each visit.

Had a lovely morning here with my partner. The portions are nice and big and the food is tasty. The owner and all the staff were very kind and welcoming.

Nice cafe with good prices. I chose the Full English Breakfast which comprised of two fried eggs, two sausages, two rashers of bacon, two slices of toast with a serving of baked beans and added a can of lemonade to the order and the total price was only £9.00. There is a customer toilet which was in reasonable condition. The cafe seats around 30 people indoors and in the region of 16 outdoors.

always a good place to visit, wonderful friendly staff, food prepared well and quickly, and good value for money

I have been coming here for the past 10 years, it is hands down the best place in Kingston for an amazing english breakfast and coffee with a great atmosphere and kind staff. I highly recommend to anyone within the area.

Really nice independent small restaurant in the heart of Kingston (not many left these days!). Owner is host and cook and has been there almost 30 years; very welcoming and great food at good prices (had the traditional English breakfast and coffee). Try it out.

Great friendly service, good food at a reasonable price.

What a lovely place to have breakfast.....all finished, not a scrap left

If you’re looking for a cozy spot that serves fantastic food and coffee, look no further than Coffee Break. This café is an absolute gem in the heart of Kingston and is a place I frequently visit with my family. The breakfast is definetly the best I’ve had and paired with the amazing coffee served, you cannot go wrong. What truly differentiates Coffee Break from some of the other cafés I’ve visited is that from the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to visit for excellent food and hot beverages

Friendly atmosphere and very good food quality. Every time I am around Kingston that is where I normally go during last 19 years. I highly recommend it.

Welcoming and helpful staff who make you feel valued. Incredibly fast service. Great tasting food and drinks for a very reasonable low price. Cannot recommend this cafe enough for anyone in the area. Plus a 10% student discount for those it applies to. Overall just a wonderful atmosphere.

The service is excellent. The ambiance is simply fantastic, and the food is delicious! Overall it's a perfect place for a perfect breakfast 😋

Best of all, absolutely delicious. Highly ... highly recommended🥰

Fantastic no-thrills breafast. Plenty of bread, herby sauages, optimum fried eggs, great latte and a warm atmosphere. Fully recommended!!

I recently visited this charming café and was absolutely blown away by the experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The café has such a lovely, relaxed vibe – perfect for enjoying a leisurely breakfast or brunch. I ordered the Full English breakfast, and it was nothing short of outstanding. Every component was cooked to perfection. The sausages were juicy and flavorful, the bacon crispy just the way I like it, and the eggs were fluffy and runny, just as they should be. The tomatoes were perfectly grilled, the mushrooms had an earthy richness, and the beans were served piping hot and delicious. The highlight for me, though, was the perfectly toasted, buttered bread that tied it all together. You could tell that a lot of care went into preparing each part of the dish – it was an absolute joy to eat. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the service. Peter, who served us our food, was an absolute delight. He was not only friendly but also attentive and thoughtful, ensuring that we had everything we needed. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about making your experience memorable, and Peter did just that. He added a personal touch to our visit, and his positive energy made the meal even more enjoyable. The café itself is a lovely place to spend time – clean, cozy, and full of charm. It’s clear that the owners and staff take pride in what they do. Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or settling in for a relaxing morning, this spot has everything you need to start your day right. I can’t recommend this café enough! If you’re a fan of classic English breakfasts done right, served with a side of fantastic service, this is the place to be. I'll definitely be returning soon for another round of that delicious Full English – and I’ll be sure to say hi to Peter when I do!

Yummy breakfast, sold at a reasonable price. Definitely will come back.

Amazing cafe run by lovely people -Hughie Balham

The food is very tasty and value for money 👍. On the menu or make some alterations on your food no problem. Hot drinks and cold drinks a good selection. Clean tidy and always helpful and polite.

First time eating in with my family. Food was great. The service was excellent. Ham, bacon and Brie panini is yummy. Chips are perfectly cooked.

Very nice place. Excellent coffee, sandwich was simple and good as well. Did not have to wait for too long. Service was also very friendly. Plenty of room to sit, cool view on a street. Perfect place in every way for a small coffee break.

Totally recommend this cafe. We were a family of 5 adults and a baby in a pram. The gentleman could not have been more helpful. He was very welcoming and friendly. No problem about the pram at all. We ate there both mornings, while down in Kingston. Our breakfasts ranged from salmon and eggs to full breakfast with chips. All really good.

Friendly environment, friendly staff and delicious food

I come here on my work break regularly, the food is good and comes quickly the owner is friendly and the cafe is comfortable. I recommend the Chicken escelope or their choice of paninis. Definitely worth visiting whilst in or around Kingston.

Really nice food, fast service and nice location in the sun. very good prices and generous portions! thank you to the waiter for letting me take photos for a photography project!

Amazing customer service, always a friendly face whenever we come in, great prices and great food!

Lovely sausage sandwich 🥪 the best in town, very friendly staff.

Very nice portion! My last full English in a different place wasn't near as good! And friendly service!

You will not find a better bacon roll anywhere, let alone Kingston.

Great food and friendly staff, I would highly recommend getting a breakfast from here!

great joint. food is cheap and good quality. owner is a proper legend.

Great, affordable food and very friendly staff

What a great find! I went in here at lunchtime. Had an absolutely delicious, large ham and cheese omelette with beans. The staff were friendly and polite and the food came out very quickly. Strongly recommend!

Very good service friendly manager very welcoming food reasonable prices can't fault them

Stopped in for a late breakfast and a catch up with a friend, and will definitely be coming back. Food was nice and very reasonably priced, and the owner was lovely and always around in case we needed anything. It's a great local cafe to support rather than all the chain ones around.

really good service and lovely jacket potatoes,also gave me a discount.

I was today to eat with my girlfriend,and I have a very nice breakfast and coffee.good service thank you

Great food,great value for money for the amount You get verry clean and verry Nice staff.thank you

I was today with my dad to eat breakfast for the first time and everything was very nice thank you

Excellent little coffee shop,always very welcoming and friendly staff definitely recommend this place for food and drink and the sausages are the best in Kingston

The best coffe shop and very nice staff

I am afraid this was really not good. Went in trusting the great reviews, despite having a gut feeling to not get in as soon as I saw it. Asked for a breakfast and the only thing with OK quality were the chips. Cappuccino was plain terrible. Poor quality/price, service was OK-ish. Not worthy I am afraid.

The Best breakfast în Town and nice staff.thanks

Great place with kind staff! The food is always so delicious and the lattes are a must! We are new to the area and received a great amount of recommendations!

Fantastic Food and the staff and owner are so lovely always. It's a happy Cafe to have some lunch and the food is always delicious with lots of variety and choices. All the staff and owner are so welcoming always. I always bring friends and always have a better day for visiting. I highly recommend Coffee Break Cafe 🙂

Really good coffee shop, great food,staff members and owner are very friendly

I don’t often do reviews as you’ll see from my profile. However, we had such a great “full English Breakfast” this morning (15/01) that I’m getting up off my lazy butt to support this independent cafe. Tasty food, great price, convenient location and friendly service. We will definitely be back which I suppose is the best review?

Great little find this one. Family run business, very friendly. Food fresh and nicely cooked, great variety of foods tempting every palette. Portion size good and great value for money.

I ordered jacket potato with chilli and cheese and thought it was great. Uncomplicated and satisfying food at really decent prices. Had great chat with the staff.

Fantastic sausage butty to give me energy for the big Saturday shopping splurge. 😍🍽

Lovely place to have breakfast. Really good food.

It's a great place. Inexpensive, quality is very good and service is excellent and friendy.

As a coffee lover, I have to say this place is excellent, their service, coffee and food are amazing!

The Coffee Break in Kingston - near the busy bus stop in Brook Street - may not look the classiest cafe in town (plastering the window with special offers makes it difficult to see out, or in), but it's a popular meeting place... and the prices are very good indeed. A value-for-money eatery and rendezvous for tea and coffee, it is usually full of people - a very good sign. It's the multi-choice bargains that really catch the eye. Where else in the centre of Kingston can you get a full English breakfast including eggs, bangers, beans and toast PLUS a cappuccino or latte for under six quid? Some places charge that for the coffee alone. Or add tomato and a hash brown to the full English and coffee, and it's still under seven knicker. Students qualify for a further 20% off, while Coffee Break also offers fruit smoothies, baguettes, frappe coffees and the full range of tea and coffee choices and cakes. Rightfully, this cafe has built a strong, loyal following.

Good service, personal service too, the waitress knew exactly what I wanted and the price was excellent too

Considering the amount of cafe's in Kingston I'm really surprised that staff here would jeopardise potential clientele. I just witnessed a grown woman behind the till being extremely childish and laughing at a passing customer who ended up asking a reasonable question. It was uncomfortable to overhear and watch and absolutely no excuse. In customer service you never know who may pop in so it's always good to have a comfortable first impression.

Peter (the owner) is a great guy and really knows how to run a restaurant, great food, great staff and lovely atmosphere

Went for the 1st time & will definitely go again. Shared a falafel hummus and salad wrap, coffee & fruit cake. Very tasty & staff pleasant.

Excellent and very friendly. Spoke to the owner and plan to make this a regular venue to entertain business colleagues and friends

Been going there for 3 years but never had the chance to give my review, very welcoming and also I admire they way they look after the senior citizens.

Super friendly staff always make me feel welcome. Good food at a good price.

We were in the hunt for the best coffee in Kingston and despite our gut feeling not to go in we thought to trust the reviews on google since all of them were 5 stars. If you are a lover of coffee do not go out of your way to have just a coffee here...

Visited here several times and it has become my default meeting place in central Kingston; the coffee is reasonably priced and is every bit as good as (in my view better than) any of the big chains. Service is friendly and old-fashioned; they bring the drinks to you rather than leave you to cluster around the till and wait, and there's plenty of tables outside, which is ideal for meeting people and also for those who may wish to smoke.

Been shopping in kingston for years and never used this cafe until recently, however it is now a definite stop every time. the owner/manager is a very friendly man, with lovely staff. The food and coffee is great and very reasonably priced. The cafe is next door to marlins at the back of marks and spencer and worth the little extra walk there.
