Coffeeology in Richmond upon Thames

Handsdown the best tasting coffee in town. Not called coffeeology anymore as it has been bought by ECC.

decent coffee, not made at 1000 degrees, good politeness and manners which is good to see and somewhat of a rareity.. worth trying

Every time we go to Richmond, Coffeeology is our first and only choice for enjoying a lovely cup of coffee. The staff is friendly all of them. and the vibe is fantastic. We always feel happy spending our time there! ❤️❤️❤️

Very good specialty in Richmond, the place is beautiful, located in an old clock. Coffee made very well and with love, oat milk outly which for me is the best. They sell coffee beans at a good price. The girls are very friendly.

My favorite coffee shop in Richmond area! Best coffe, friendly staff, nice sweets and always bizi place! High recommendations ☕️ P.s. Only 4⭐️ for food, just because price 📈

Wouldn't recommend the matcha latte at all. It was very sandy.

A cosy cafe with a large outdoor area given the floor plan. The espresso was delicious. Service was great.

The staff is very friendly, making sure we were happy with our order, and coffee was really nice. We will definitely come back.

Cute little coffeeshop with really nice coffees Edit: this is now a definite stop whenever I end up in Richmond!

Easily one of the most popular coffee shops in Richmond Coffeeology has a unique interior decor, hugely committed and friendly staff and excellent coffee. The location is good but its the staff and coffee who make it so popular

Cafe has great atmosphere from the outside and inside too. It was my first time to go and found the baristas welcoming and it seems they have regulars that pop by. It's just nice to see them checking in on customers and banter. That's the first good sign i got while waiting for my turn to order my drink. I ordered an iced mocha and it's probably one of the really good ones i tried, ever! Good coffee quality and chocolate that's not diluted by milk or sugar unlike with most coffee shops. I will come back again to try the others!

Wait 25 mins for coffee. Order small, recieve a large watered down coffee but get told "you get extra for free" might as well be in Starbucks.

Amazing coffee, friendly atmosphere.

great outdoor seating, fast service and great atmosphere. pleasant prices. good selection of pastries

Great coffee, nice restaurant. Very, very, very nice service.

Great spot in Richmond with hands down the best coffee in the area. Staff are super lovely too!

Very nice flat white, properly prepared and presented, friendly staff. I also had a pain au chocolat that was a disappointment (cold, stale). Seating is limited for dining in, though in nice weather there are a few tables outside. If they had fresher pastries, I could give it another star. The coffee is very good, though.

Cute little coffee place doing great coffee. Accepts dogs.

Love it!! Service kind and friendly, coffee really good for a small nice place 👍😁

Lovely place! Staff very welcoming and friendly!

Nice tea and coffee Good polite service brought to the table Good atmosphere inside and out

So good. Reasonably priced too.

Really pleasant relaxed coffee place on the Square, Richmond. Coffeeology serve excellent coffees and provide an excellent atmosphere for meetings with friends or colleagues.

Had the best espresso here I've had for a while, lovely staff and really nice setting to have a morning coffee. Highly recommend

Good service, good vibe and great coffee

I've tried them all and Coffeeology is the best coffee in Richmond town centre, by far. In fact, you'll have to go all the way to Sheen to find coffee this good.

Excellent coffe! Flat white is very nice

Great place to pick up a breakfast

We drank latte and cappuccino, they were good but a little strong in taste. But the place is cozy and the service is fast, we liked that. The staff was kind. Lovely place!

Very nice place fot sandwiches coffee and cake

The coffee was delicious! The service quite slow and the space to wait in the queue was incredibly small. Unfortunately, I was knocked into twice in the queue, by people leaving and another going to get water. The coffee shop was incredibly hot and stifling. The tables that were empty were filled with empty cups and rubbish etc. A constructive criticism would be to remove the table that is opposite the coffee machines so that there is ample space to stand and wait without being pushed or perhaps offer table service.

Top quality coffee with nice outdoor space and friendly staff

Cool on a hot day, see how they open a round window at the high ceiling. Very good croissant. Mojito mint tea was blant.

What a lovely place to enjoy a creamy good cappuccino! The place is always busy which means people go there regular because they know how good the coffee is and every single member of the staff is super friendly! Great selection of pastries and cakes! Carrot and cinnamon cake is delicious! Well done guys! Tony

Great coffee, so far the best around Richmond station. The cafe itself is very busy and it was difficult finding an empty table at 11am on Sunday. They have seating outdoors and indoors, ideal for anyone coming by bike! Recommend for coffee alone but not for a big group.

No doubt the best coffee around. If you are a coffee lover and you love coffee, this is definitely the right place. Brilliant service and tasty coffee. Double expresso with an amazing taste of real coffee or a mocha to enjoy.

Great flat white. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere & soft music! I love this coffee shop❤️

Poor coffee and poor service. Very dirty the last few times I’ve visited, and angry staff on my last two visits. Cannot recommend.

Great coffee, great people, great atmosphere! Danny, the manager, is the best :)

Updated to a 2* following the passive aggressive, and unwarranted, response- apparently the leeway already given when considering the overall circumstances regarding the time of service, the weather (rain), and the snarkiness of staff. Busyness is no excuse for lack of hygiene in handling customers’ food. And this was why the growing stack of dirty plates, saucers, etc was both so noticeable and so disturbing- no one wants those to be handled, hands not to be washed in the sink despite the sink’s immediate proximity directly NEXT to the stack of dirty dishes, and food to then be touched. Original: Lovely cappuccinos, flat white, and espresso! Not so lovely male barista… and unfortunately, over steamed and burnt/ flat oat cappuccino (not pictured). So would recommend only for traditional dairy milk or plain espressos. Seating area out front. Unfortunately, very dirty back counter, and the Scottish-sounding male barista was touching dirty plates and cups with his hands, touching the till, then touching food items without washing his hands.

Literally one of THE BEST coffee shops in london !! The quality of coffee is always to perfection !

Specialty coffee to die for. And the pie with spinach and feta was amazing. The service we received was incredible! Loved it and will definitely come back again.

Love this place - awesome, consistently high quality coffee, really lovely staff, who find the right balance between quick service without rushing you out. Haven’t eaten here yet. Keep up the good work guys!!

First visit today - excellent latte (not too hot as requested!) and a chilled atmosphere. Will be back 😁

Lovely place. Shame that the smoothies are small and overpriced but I enjoy the atmosphere here.

Lovely place, very tasty (decaf) coffee! By gentlemen baristas.

Ordered a Flat White and spot on coffee with a great selection of pasties to go with it.

Expected lot from this cafe. Sadly, and it might be just one off/ my own experience. It was one of the flattest and the whitest coffee I had from any cafes in London. :(

Love this place, I'm in to grab a coffee at least two/three times a week and it's always top-notch. Great customer service all around too. If the pitchacho croissant is available, it's a must!

What drew me in was the historical value of the building placed quite elegantly on the corner with the accommodation for a quick visit, a long stay and a sip of an espresso whilst watching the lovely people of Richmond walk by. I stayed there on after for the marvellous coffee and the lively energy we aim to envision from a coffee shop. Coffeeology seems to carry the right frequency whether it be the universal entity that some places hold due to its disconnect from the real world or the music and the breeze running through. This place is a must for anyone who frequents the area. I promise you, you will not be disappointed by the coffee, the people or the music choices. It’s all in keeping.

Lovely corner cafe with an small selection of sweets and some fantastic coffee.

It used to be my favourite coffee shop but staff changed. There was a transition as mentioned below but definitely trying their best and coffee quality is still amazing.

This is the cafe in the heart of downtown Richmond. Everyone will pass by this cafe, so it is the ideal place to drink one of your coffees of the day. The friendly staff will serve you with a smile. The tables outside become breathtaking on sunny days since they have a place where the sun can see them. One of the few cafes in the area that serve espresso in its glass and no bigger, (espresso lovers will love it).

Very good Costa Rican yellow honey in filter when I visited. I came a few years back and now that I am Richmond again I am delighted to be able to be back. Great conversation with the pleasant staff and enjoyed my batch brew very much!

Amazing service and Amazing coffee 🔥 Timpson

Great coffee and service thanks guys

I always get my coffee fix here when in Richmond

Popped in for a coffee, super friendly staff. Amazing coffee too, I'm definitely coming back! Serve pastries and have a few tables to sit

A true must-visit. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Coffee was so good that we went back 20 minutes later for a take away.

Beast white Americano ☕️ by far . Well done I’ll be back .

Great coffee and friendly staff. Nice and cosy spot close to Richmond station.

I can’t have coffee with loud rap music. So the place is no no for me. But the coffee is one of the best in Richmond so it’s ok for take away. Shame really. They make it everything possible to kick you out as quickly as possible.

Great coffee, yummy pastries, lovely vibe, free wifi, 10/10!

Great coffee and great atmosphere 🤗

Coffee was amazing, friendly staff as well. Enjoyed it a lot!

Decent coffee, bad service and super dirty place.

Fist time there, and was please to find a good speciality coffee in the neighbour with very hight standards and super friendly Kat that makes my day every day!

Good coffee. They didn’t have soy so I got the hazelnut milk (which is sweetened).

Excellent drinks, options for all and have dairy free options and products if needed. Very cosy and vintage atmosphere in there!

I have been coming to this coffee shop every since it opened, under the advice of a friend. I couldn't recommend it anymore. This cosy, vibrant coffee shop has allowed me to enjoy my own time with the energy it serves. Many a time I have sat, starting drawing, writing and making friends which were once strangers. Thank you for being part of Richmond.

Been coming here for years, lately it seems a whole new team have come in and unfortunately they arent anywhere near as good as before, and the coffee is now very average when before it was without a doubt the best in Ricmond To add to that the prices have gone up so its now 3.70 for a decafe oat milk Americo which is insane Unfortunately a regular haunt has become a treat, its just not worth the money anymore which is a shame

Nice coffee extensive range of beans. Some good options as well.

Coffee wasn't good and the service no way!!! Im sorry but you need to be polite with your costumers.

Gone downhill big time. Terrible coffee, flat white with zero foam after a 10 minute+ wait. Music way too loud. Excessively chummy with regulars whilst failing to take your order correctly or remember to make the coffee. Shame.

Coffeeology is the absolute best: from the super amazing and kind staff to their astounding coffee. There’s nothing I like more than to come here after a nice morning run! Ah- and the ambience is also perfect. The music is always on-point!

The best coffee shop in town, love them and my coconut latte from Coffeology ❤️Thank you guys, for being so awesome, it feels like I am visiting old good friends every time I squeeze into the corner table to get all cozy and enjoy my hot drink😍

Coffee was very weak. But great service

Edit: the owner heeded the advice and everything about this coffee venue is now excellent including the coffee.

A very cute spot for sit-in coffees! The baristas were very friendly, the iced coffee was delicious, and the aesthetic of the space was on point. Highly recommend!

Hipsterology place of Richmond. Amazing dewign, exentric and friendly baristas, really good coffee. They have drip! I would love more food options though (esp. savory ones).

I can't believe I've not reviewed this place before. Excellent in every way with great coffee, lovely pastries and other snacks as well as the best staff in London. I'll also big up the customer base as I've had many a pleasant chat with total strangers in the fantastic place.

Great coffee and food. Service is normally great, well until 11:16 today. The gent with the beard was disengaged ( did not greet, nor acknowledge my presence or say thank you) instead decided to be inappropriate with his colleague (barista) stating he is rubbing chocolate off, by rubbing himself against the rear of the barista (inappropriate). Both the Baristas were great. Behaviors need a review.

Walking, human and dog friendly, musical.

I’m all for supporting independent cafes and the coffee here is good but it shouldn’t take 20 minutes between ordering the coffee at the till and being served. And the lack of any appreciation or apology didn’t make me want to rush back

Nice place to enjoy good hot chocolate and cupcakes.

Amazing place. The pastries and desserts are delicious. Coffee is a bit strong but the bakery options are really good. Try the beetroot chocolate cake!

Grabbed a quick coffee while walking around Richmond. My wife and I were drawn to the design on the shop so decided it would be perfect for a quick cup. We ordered two take away flat whites that were delicious, and the barista was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Agree with most of these reviews: high end artisan coffee and nice cakes. Seating area outside very pleasant. Inside a bit cramped. Staff very personable, consistently pleasant, work hard to remember faces and to remember what kind of coffee you like. Dog friendly.

Fantastic shop. Wonderful kind staff, cozy environment, and worth the visit. Not a ton of seating, so keep your party small and flexible. But dang - you’ll like this place. 👌🏻

My entire experience at Coffeeology was rather odd. The coffee was average, very milky and not much body at all. The staff weren't rude but very involved in their own conversations rather than assisting customers (I'm also pretty sure I heard the barista mumble 'eugh' when I ordered a decaf). For a small shop I also thought the music was a little loud, people couldn't really hold conversations without having to shout over each other, but that's me being pendantic. What made me give two stars rather than three, however, was the thoughtless and insensitive chalkboard outside that said 'Come on Vlad, we've only just gotten over Covid!' Joke or not, there's a WAR happening - it is not the time nor the place for such disrespect.

Newly opened and coffee is good! Aussie twang to the whole thing. Years on, still the best place for a coffee

Perfectly stunning oat flat white, great service and general atmosphere.

Coffeeology is a friendly and enjoyable place where you can find fresh, high quality and delicious coffees and foods.

Best coffee place, ever! Highly recommended

Lovely Place for a coffee and croissant

Very cool place, ambiance and service. All the guys that work there are fun and friendly. The coffee beans are not perhaps my first choice, but overall much recommended, i stop in every time im around

Really excellent coffee here and a good selection of loaf cakes. Can recommend the mandarin chocolate, very moist and chocolatey. Busy place. Not a lot of space but good environment. Seating outside.

Great coffee, great location and friendly baristas.
