Galley Cafe and Bar in Greenwich

This cafe has changed beyond all recognition, & the website does not really indicate it has changed to the extent it actually has; if the info had been more representative of what the food offerings now are we just wouldn't have visited. I can only assume that as with so many businesses, sadly, it has been detrimentally affected by the pandemic & has just changed its whole ethos. If one reads my previous reviews one would not think they were about the same venue. I am so sorry to be so negative, & it is no reflection on the people who work here (I am sure they do the best they can with limited resources) as it was obviously a business decision taken by the cinema owners, but I can't help feeling a chance has been missed not to restore it to what it once was, as I am sure I am not the only person to have discovered it by accident only for it to end up on my definitive 'to do' list whenever I was in the area,

Food took half an hour too get here. Loads and loads of people got their food before us, poor sevice. Rude co-workers, and just all in all bad. Never again, wouldn’t reccomend.

Siempre asegúrese de comer aquí si estamos en Greenwich, y como lo hicimos el año pasado, después de haber pasado la primera parte del día en el mercado y sus alrededores, nos dirigimos aquí para una comida decente antes de asistir a las Finales ATP en el O 2. Siempre es un placer comer aquí, y siempre es agradable conversar con el personal sobre nuestra visita anual desde que descubrimos esta joya absoluta de un lugar. Tuve el especial del día, que era una tartina de berenjena, deliciosa, y mi amiga fue por el macarrones con queso, que había probado el año pasado y disfrutó tanto que optó por él nuevamente, comida ideal para un frío, húmedo y ventoso. al final de la tarde. También logramos té, café y pastel, ya que sabíamos que podría ser un final tardío en el tenis. Como siempre, todo era de primera categoría y la gente era encantadora. En una nota al margen, y porque sé que el personal leyó estas reseñas, nos encantó encontrar otra sucursal de este cine / café por casualidad cuando visitamos Crouch End por primera vez el domingo, así que nos tomamos una taza de café. Y nuevamente, el personal fue absolutamente encantador, así que aproveché la oportunidad para contarles acerca de cómo encontrar la ubicación de Greenwich y disfrutarla tanto que decidimos comer allí durante nuestra visita anual a Londres, ¡por lo que parecían muy entusiasmados!

Nuestra visita habitual es en diciembre, pero estamos un poco más temprano este año, ya que íbamos a las Finales de ATP en el O 2, así que decidimos pasar el día en Greenwich antes del tenis por la noche. No es posible estar en Greenwich sin volver a esta cafetería absolutamente encantadora, donde en nuestro par de visitas en años anteriores, la comida y el servicio siempre han sido de primera categoría. Igual de bien que esta vez, mi plato de huevos rancheros se preparó de manera diferente a lo que he probado en otros restaurantes, pero estaba delicioso y muy rico, al igual que el mac y el queso de mi amigo, que desafortunadamente no teníamos espacio para cuppas y pasteles después, que es nuestra norma cuando hemos comido aquí antes. Bien hecho a todos los interesados: es una gran operación, y se lo recomendamos a cualquiera que nos mencione que irá a Greenwich.

Este es solo un buen café de corta duración con desayuno, batidos, un buen menú de almuerzo y una amplia variedad de cafés y pasteles. Tiende a llenarse con personas que usan computadoras portátiles, lo que puede dificultar la obtención de un asiento. Ideal para un punto de encuentro antes del cine!

I went yesterday with a friend, I had mushroom/terragon pate which was very nice ...but my friend ordered chef choice of the day ... which was a chicken curry ...imagine to our horror she was eating it she said to me ...this is a ready meal ...i told her not to be so stupid they would never do that....we were both hungry so she ate it ..she said again im telling you that was a ready meal ....i said i dont think they can legally call a ready meal ..chefs choice of the day ... she asked the staff who admitted ...it was a ready meal .....& they had been doing this for a while ....we were gobsmacked ...they gave us a free coffee ...in a paper cup ..not a proper cup! Its a disgrace to charge £7.95 for a ready meal ....& call it the chefs choice .....very misleading...... certainly wont be eating there again ...shame as its local to us & been many times for breakfast.

Un café cinéma en voilà une bonne idée ! Je n'ai fait que la partie café mais l'ambiance plutôt conviviale donne envie d'en voir plus. Idéal pour prendre un petit déjeuner ou un goûter en famille

I went here after the cinema and had sourdough and mushroom pate and tea made with real tea leaves.. the sourdough was lovely but the teapot leaked a bit... My friend had carrot cake and tea. It was very nice and not too expensive. I found the staff very pleasant and it was clean and bright. It was ideally placed next to the cinema itself. It had views of the high street and is near the markets. I would come here again. It did not have toilets but the cinema did of course and they must be what people use. I would go here again when at the cinema.

A short walk from the hustle and bustle of the markets, this was a good place to sit, take a break and have a cool drink.

Poppedin here for a quick hot drink and chocolate fix. The place was busy but we managed to get a seat, service was quick and cake& hot drinks were nice too.

Been here several times with friends and there is always an issue. The first time the server argued loudly with me when I asked if I had the right drink as the flat white was weak and latte like - I just paid for an extra shot to move it along. On several visits I have noticed the manager lacks basic hospitality and today she actually rolled rolled her eyes as she pushed past us to enter the place - not a smile, a good morning or any sort of welcome, just surly! It’s a shame as it’s a good spot and a great breakfast menu.

Popped in for a quick warm drink on a cold say on a weekday. The place was locely as usual so was the hot chocolate.

Made a point of coming here again for lunch when visiting the market, as we discovered it by accident last year & thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere & delightful guys behind the counter. Menu appears to have been extended, but quality & service excellent as ever, also outstanding value for money. Everything appears homemade, freshly prepared & just so tasty. Filtered water on tap is a nice touch. Just as well my friend's gift shopping in the market was so successful, as we will no doubt come back to Greenwich this time next year & again make a point of having lunch here. Can't recommend highly enough.

Bem no coração de Greenwitch , esse café junto à um centro comercial, inclusive com cinema oferece boas opções entre bolos , pães , cafés e chás . Simples e com bom atendimento apresenta preços menores que as redes mais famosas .

We had a cup of tea before a film at the adjoin8ng Pucturehouse cinema and asked about eating after the film. We were assured that the cafe was open until 21.30. We pitched up at about 20.50, and sat at a table, waited for at least 5 minutes whilst being studiously ignored by the chap who had promised us they were open. We finally asked about food and they said NO, WE ARE CLOSED FOR FOOD AND THE CHEF HAS GONE HOME! Customer service, what? I will NEVER go back even if starving. Shame on you.

Wow!!! I use to come here regularly and the staff always looked stressed and depressed. I think the cafe is under new management because the staff are soo friendly, happy and professional now. I Had a lovely evening

Galley Cafe terletak satu gedung dengan bioskop di kawasan Greenwich. Suasananya sangat kasual dengan pemandangan langsung ke jalan raya. Harga makanan dan minumannya termasuk murah, dengan kualitas yang baik.

A mi esposa le gustó este lugar porque a la lactosa y leche de almendras tienen para ella y café o té sin gluten y lácteos alternativas gratuitas. La comida regular también es buena pero un poco caro para las raciones que te dan. Muy conveniente para la casa de Greenwich Imagen.

Had sandwiches and hot drinks there before the movies and desserts. Service was quick, staff were attentive, price was good and it all tasted yummy.

Es un café bastante básico con siempre aparentemente asientos disponibles. La comida es bastante sabroso, y bueno para los golosos. Yo tenía un queso macaroni (que no era abundante) pero bien caliente y bien presentada, no sé por qué este café no es más conocido por su conveniente ubicación. .

Hemos frecuentado este lugar por lo menos una vez a la semana durante los últimos dos años, pero hoy fue el último día. Tenemos dos bebés y siempre hemos de volver porque el servicio era genial, el personal era encantador y está orientado a la familia. Cada vez que pase una cantidad considerable. Por desgracia, la directora era tan grosera que actúa hoy a nosotros que no volveré. Es una de esas experiencias que te hacen sentir incómodos como cliente sólo porque tienen bebés, y que están haciendo un favor para que sirve. Preguntó por el menú atrás mientras nuestro bebés estaban jugando con él, diciendo que eran muy caro cuando en realidad son piezas antiguas de papel con plástico. olvidarse Si sabía nada sobre bebés que ella lo sabía que la única forma de dejarlos tranquilos era darles los menús con los que jugar. Ella con impaciencia y con brusquedad respondió que no aceptan american express, tarjetas de fidelización que había acabado, y nos dio la sensación de que ella quería ir tan pronto como sea posible. Pedimos un desayuno inglés, ella envió el té inglés, y cuando fuimos a explicar el malentendido lo hizo como si fue culpa nuestra (cómo puede alguien no entiendo la diferencia entre la palabra "desayuno" y "té"? ). Todas estas en sí mismas no son un problema importante, pero el trato fue tan grosero, arrogante y desagradable que no volveremos. Si odias tu trabajo señora, luego cambiar su profesión, pero no tome al cliente! El grupo objetivo de este lugar es las madres y familias, así que si la directora no entiende esto, entonces el negocio no tiene mucho futuro.

Vine para el desayuno y el chef comprar mi comida a mi mesa. La comida era perfectamente preparada y presentada. Él era muy educado, amable servicio al cliente genial, estoy muy impresionado.

Visited last week with my wife, and it was fairly busy, we were just queuing to get some drinks and a bite to eat prior to our film when a bald man cut in front of us to place an order! Naturally I was slightly bemused, more so when the staff jumped to make him several drinks and he left without even paying. Maybe he was a boss? Although he left and crossed the street. It was bizarre nonetheless and we both found it rather rude that he was given this treatment in place of us as paying customers- especially when we had already been waiting a good five minutes. The couple behind us didn't look too pleased either!

Looking for somewhere to have a light lunch & had already been turned away from 2 places where a 3 course lunch appeared to be compulsory! Spent some time at the market & looking around the area, so were in need of seating & feeding! Quiet spot, small but delicious menu & very good coffee. Guys behind the counter were a delight. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area, it's slightly off the main drag so less busy than the other places we considered, & probably much less expensive too. A must whenever we're back at the market.

I came with a good friend to have a lovely, quiet eve at Greenwich's picture house cafe called "Galley". There were two women behind the bar serving drinks etc. I ordered two coffees and whilst paying I was shocked at the rudeness at both of them. Unprovoked and yet I received such shocking behaviour. The description I have are: One had brown hair in a bun/ dark features and the other with glasses, smaller in height. Ruined a perfect evening, I just am so utterly shocked. I wouldn't go here, however the Greenwich Picture house is lovely, huge, huge shame about the Cafe attached. Oh dear....Anonymous

I've had a mixed experience here, but won't be returning any time soon. The counter staff are always lovely, the food can be delicious, but the food has issues that concern me. We ordered a bagel with salmon and cream cheese, and a chicken and avocado sandwich, both from the fridge on the counter. Bizarrely, these were taken away to be toasted, even though they were already filled and clearly not meant to be (there were toasties too, labelled as such). Because they were both already filled (including with salad), they were not heated all the way through, and were just odd. More worryingly, my salmon was barely warm, and I sent it back, asking for a cold one, as I had expected it to be. The guy who brought it was very nice, apologised, and said that it was how they did it there, indicating the kitchen. The kitchen where the chef clearly had no concept of food safety regulations. When the cakes are open to the elements and not covered, and food temperature safety is ignored, there is not a chance I will eat there again. Who knows what other regulations they ignore. I'd already ruled out the poached eggs previously, as they come tasting strongly of vinegar. It's such a shame that this is the case, as everything else is there. The serving staff are friendly and welcoming, the coffee is wonderful (and I will continue to grab one to take into a film), but the kitchen issues let them down. It smacks of poor management and training. Other cafes in Greenwich had no tables available at the time we ate here (brunch/lunch time on a Saturday), including a very busy (similar) cafe opposite, but interestingly there was plenty of room here.

Simple salle mais accueil et service au top avec de l'efficacité et de l'humour Super pause avec des scones et muffins délicieux sans oublier de milkshake divinsPrix raisonnables

Saturday lunchtime. Quaint from both inside and out and pleasant music. However food a little overpriced for what you get.

Were there before we went to a movie for a quick cake and tea/hot chocolate treat.Service was quick, cake was yummy -it had custard in it! Hotchocolate and tea was nice too. Would go again:)

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat before setting off on our journey home. The cafe serves very nice food, tasty and well presented. It is part of the Picturehouse group of cinemas so as members we got 10% off the bill. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

We love coming here for a sandwich or a cake and coffee before the cinema - lovely friendly staff and 10% discount with the picture house membership card!It's great to have this cafe attached to the cinema and is always buzzing when we pop in!

Before meeting a friend to see a film at the Greenwich Picturehouse I had realised that I was over an hour early so had some time to kill, so decided on a coffee in the cafe tucked inside the cinema. I was pleasantly surprised, the menu had a wide selection but not too much, the atmosphere is chill, light with big bright windows to watch the world go by, the Northern waiter was fun & helpful, and the breakfast was delicious with perfectly cooked soft poached eggs. Really nice surprise, definitely going back as my friend told me the Macaronni & Cheese is to die for.

Lovely service and amazing food, A barista called Hayden made an excellent cappuccino for me! Will definitely come back 10/10

We went on a Sunday to have a quick croissant and coffee and hot chocolate before watching a film. Plenty of table and space to stretch out and relax.However we have eaten here before and had lunch and the sandwiches on sourdough are really delicious.It's a very popular place for breakfast with great choice and thoroughly recommended; good fresh food and daily specials including vegetarian and vegan options. Yummy food and good service too.

Cosy place, quite busy. I was going to order the breakfast porridge however it was sold out, however I ordered scrambled eggs on toast insteas which was really tasty with a breakfast smoothie and coffee. Happy with the food and prices. However my friend food ordered french toast but this took a very long time to arrive..

Popped in here on the way back home on a Saturday afternoon for a nice lunch out. Really wish we hadn't bothered. It wasn't that busy, and we ordered the eggs Benedict and poached eggs on toast - so basically 4 poached eggs, toasted muffin/bread and some sauce. 10 minutes later, no food. 20 minutes later, no food, 30 minutes later no food. People who came in after us received their order - very poor. We asked if our order was missing, and were told it would be with us soon. There was no shortage of staff - 4 of them behind the counter pottering around. Another 10 minutes and it arrived. The eggs Benedict was cold, and the poached eggs on toast decidedly average and absolutely not worth the prices charged. We live in Greenwich and that's 2 customers who will not be back.

Light and bright chilled place to work and relax in peace with good selection of tea. Just inside the cinema so is great to grab a snack and film. I've been a few times and it been hit and miss in last coupke months since last year but it's great overall. Has free Internet too I recomend the benedict and full English, standard as you'd expect but the sauce used to be more tastier somehow. Cakes look great but I didn't try, toasties are great but service can be a little cold depending who's serving.

manager smells of cigarettes . Different staff every time you go and obviously not enjoying their job. Cakes bought in from elsewhere food prepared in advance so looks pretty on fancy plate. Lacks freshness . Don't be fooled in to thinking it's not a chain cineworld owns all 12 or more . Went to their newly opened one in west end payed £20 to watch a film in the cold no heating working and was given a blanket like it or leave!! Is what I was told .the cafe in that one was much better.This has also happened to me in Greenwich before maybe they save ex amounts by doing this every so often. How do they get away with it!!!!!

Walking past this place many times I decided to try it out based on the fact that a) it's not one of the big chains taking over Greenwich so worth supporting b) the menu has an all-day breakfast. The food - plenty of pastries and cakes (on display), English breakfast, soups, sandwiches, salads, one or two quiches, so fairly simple. It's hard to get this wrong. Prices are fair. You can order beer and wine as well as coffee, tea and soft drinks. Service - quite fast but NEVER expect a smile, unfortunately (I went 3 times and never got one). In fact, some of the staff are outright unfriendly. Yesterday I witnessed one member of staff taking an order with a frown. The big chain cafe right next to you knows how to do great service, guys, so take a leaf out of their book. The place - nice decor, you usually get a small table easily. Has 4 or 5 baby chairs for little customers. Toilets upstairs in the cinema. All in all, I would recommend it for a try so you can make your own opinion. There is far worse than this place.

映画までの時間にお茶をしました。こちらのキャロットケーキが美味しくて感動しました。また必ず行きたいです。

近くのホテルに滞在しており、散策も兼ねて朝食をとりにきました。そこそこリーズナブルでボリュームもあり、味も悪くなかったです。エッグベネディクト頂きました。

Generally the food here can be fairly average or good - rather depending on whether the real chef is on or not. If he isn't then there is a fair chance the food will be poorly prepared.The coffee needs a lot of work, the beans are not great and the preparation is bad - very little crema and very bitter. There are better places to source your coffee from guys and I'm sure someone knows about grind size?!Sad because it's a nice spot to watch greenwich go by.

Horrible.Paid £7.95 for Full English Breakfast.Clearly pre-cooked items arrive barely tepid.Bacon almost cold.Manageress takes food away when this is pointed out.Waiter brings plate back within 2 minutes, having just reheated it in microwave!Should've asked for money back.Now stomach pains starting.Incidentally, they also boast 'freshly squeezed' orange juice, it's not.Avoid at all costs.

After having a really bad experience in the past in this place, when it was a Tapas bar, I hadn't been back for ages. Yesterday my husband and I decided to give it a go in its new incarnation and it was not entirely a good experience. Starting with the positives: the place is clean, the food fresh and the cakes on display look very good, although we did not try any.No complaints with the quality of the food but the portions are really mean.We wanted a light lunch and light it was, for real! We came out hungry. My husband ordered soup of the day, which was Sweetcorn soup. It was a decent size bowl but came with two thin slices of bread. The flavour was excellent and the bread good quality, but the bread portion was really mean.I had a mushroom and spinach tart with side salad. Again, fresh, tasty, but tiny, with a pinch of salad on the side. Then we shared a tofu and quinoa salad, and this is really the reason that prompted me to write a review. What a total and utter ripoff. It came in a very large bowl so it gave the impression of quantity, but it was a miserably mean portion, three thin slices of tasteless, lukewarm grilled tofu placed on a sparse bed of salad leaves, the sort you get in a bag in the supermarket. The quinoa could not have been more than a tablespoonful, just a few grains hidden under the salad. All this was topped (for want of a better word) with a smidgen of hummus. This was meant to be a main course, and it cost just short of £8. It would not have fed a sparrow.I asked the waitress for some dressing and she replied that the salad had already been dressed (it had not, or if it had it was another very mean quantity).Which brings me to the service, which was sullen and indifferent, to the point that we chose not to leave a tip, which is really unusual for us.After our Picturehouse 10% discount the bill came to £15 something, and we left hungry. We could not help but compare with the previous week, when with less than £15 we ate fit to burst at the Jamie Oliver cafe nearby, sharing a really generous main course salad full of decent food, not just a few fluffy leaves, with two substantial side dishes AND a half pint.Sorry but won't be back.

Went with the wife this morning since we had been meaning to try for awhile. Nice staff, great full English and reasonable prices. Also some of the best french toast I've had in London. Highly recommended if you are tired of some of the lesser breakfast fare found in Greenwich.

Looking for a "full English" on Sunday morning? It doesn't get much better than this! Great service, great food! Everything very well cooked and a proper sausage as well! Didn't try any of the cakes on offer, but they looked superb as well!

Fantastisk service i en cafe som er en del af et biograf center. Gid kaffe og børnene nød deres varme kakao.Kan varmt anbefales.

Its a nice basic cafe with seating always available. The food is tasty, particularly those with a sweet tooth. Its also great to meet up when you cant decide to go to the pub or have a coffee as both look equally suitable in this location. The price is fair for quality, however those with large appetites may not feel as fulfilled. I know households suffer from this, especially in summer - however I've seen ants crawling up the counter and by till on a couple of occasions which ...I'd rather not.

Dropped by here early evening. No hot food available as the kitchen was closed but no problem as the tea and cakes were excellent and reasonably priced too.Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Tables clean and tidy.

Very chilled, great service and generous proportions. Try they Cheddar and Marmite muffins they are brilliant. The bloody Mary could do with a bit of work but it's a solid place for breakfast before heading to watch a movie

Love this place. Good coffee. Tasty salads followed by a delicious cake ot pastry. I tend to judge a place by the simple things and even the fruit salad with yoghurt granola and honey is great, no corners cut. Well worth a visit.

Cafe is new and attached to the Green Picturehouse cinema. Only went in cos I was about to go into a movie. I was starving, didn't want popcorn and there was no time to go anywhere else. It used to be a ghastly Spanish Tapas place called Taperia. Now it is a cheap and cheerful cafe/restaurant/bar. I had only fifteen minutes before the movie. Ordered the special - goats cheese, beetroot and walnut salad. It was ready in five. Big bowl, brimming with fresh ingredients. They'd even toasted the walnuts to give a better flavour. Also had some cheese and bread and a lemongrass and ginger tea, made with big chunks of fresh ginger and a bunch of lemongrass. Utterly delicious. Waiting staff were warm and enthusiastic. Best meal I've had out anywhere this year and it was all quite by chance. The film was pretty good too. Good option even if you aren't seeing a movie.
