Always excellent cakes and coffee and other excellent comestibles. Great quality and affordable prices. And next to Bushy Park for a good walk too.

The service is not great, the place is not great. They charged £.7 to a girl for 2 slices of bread with 2 slices of tomato and cold melted mozzarella. The small bottle of water I bought was £.2.50. worm from the fridge.

We've just come back from a walk in the Park and a halfway break at this little cafe. What a gem! The owner of the cafe, Mario, was so friendly and welcoming. We had a nice coffee and yummy pastries. Highly recommend. Plan to return to try their homemade pizzas.

The Gentleman that owns this Cafe is so very friendly and helpful. Whether you go in into the Cafe or are just passing by, he ALWAYS has a friendly smile and wave. The ice cream is to die for...and is prepared to make a coffee exactly the way you want it.

Stopped here with 3 adults and 2 young children. The food is cheap and cheerful, the staff were friendly and it was a comfy rest stop from our walk through the park. There is also a bathroom which we didn't use but always a bonus with kids in tow.

Love this little gem on the edge of bushy park. It is ideally placed for dog walkers and families being on the edge of the kings Meadow with children's play area, tennis courts and the skateboard park. dogs are are welcome inside and they serve great food and amazing ice-cream highly recommend

I've visited this cafe several times for coffee and pastries. There are so many beautiful pastries to choose from including cannolis and sfogliatella with chocolate, vanilla and pistachio fillings. The coffee is also delicious! The staff are super friendly too. Would highly recommend this cafe!

Been here quite a few times and what I like is, that not only is the coffee excellent, it’s consistently excellent! My 12 year old on also says their milk shakes are the best ever too. Pastries are very nice, 😋

The other two pizza options near this cafe are average quality American style pizza. After spotting this cafe advertising home made pizza, I didn't mind paying a little extra. Instead, what I got was blatantly heated supermarket pizza with their typical spongy base and cheap cheese and tomato toppings. Turning over the base revealed the marks of a factory made base. The taste was familiar to Dr Oetker frozen pizzas, which it probably was. When you spend £5 or less on American style pizza, you expect it to be not great. This was £7 and was awful. I threw some of it away, something I very rarely do with food. £7 for a heated frozen supermarket pizza advertised as hand made. What a bunch of crooks. I would have been better off paying slightly less for the nearby American style options.

the service is not nice, feel like they are forced to serve us. The last time was terrible. Not friendly( in my case)

Really liked the look of this cafe but it's so creepy inside the staff are a bit odd you feel your being overcharged -check your change! Particularly when the older women is serving, outside seems fine until we clocked the skate park this seems like a conflict of interest with our children in playground opposite these are two worlds that shouldn't collide poor idea. The cafe is inadequate unless your like coffee in all weathers very slow service also unlike other cafes in London feels very urban and not really best place for family dispite being in a small park - which can be at times over run with dogs and footballers.

A great no frills friendly cafe... We stumbled upon this cafe a couple of years ago. It's at the Kingston end of Bushy Park. Hidden from the road (Church Grove) by a brick wall. A good refreshment option for those using Bushy Park or Home Park. Popular with families with young children as it's near the playground. It's now a regular stop for us because its staff give excellent customer service. Great Ice Cream and snacks. And the Lattes are perfect. Prices are very reasonable. There's indoor seating and a sunny outdoor seating area and a toilet at the rear. To get there from Bushy Park you go through Church Grove Gate (by the cricket ground). It's near the skate park and children's playground. From Kingston go over the bridge, left on main road, then 1st right at lights and it's about 50 yards on left opposite the church. Tennis Courts are nearby. I'm in no way connected with this cafe. Just want to make people aware of it as it's great!

This could have been a lovely meet up with friends and we were even prepared to overlook the average food as we were having an enjoyable time. However, some of the staff/mmnt are arrogant in manner and think they are doing you a favour by letting you visit. We won't be returning.

A firm favourite in Barnes with excellent coffee, good pastries and warm atmosphere. Just a couple of negatives I noticed lately: - Expensive products, it seems the price of a croissant is increasing by 10p every week! A cookie is not £3.00, no more cookies for us then. The loyalty programme buy 10 items get 1 free helps bring prices back to a lower level however it's important to note that there system is only set up to count one reward per visit, so if you buy 3 coffees at once you only get one reward, so the trick is to buy one, pay, Say you want another one, then pay,.. and so on. So don't be surprised if you see the queue getting longer. On our end we tend to order less.

I understand in the UK, food such as ham and cheese fillers should not be handled with bear hands but with gloves onbefore serving to customers. Having looked into the window of Gales in Richmond 10 minutes ago I was sickened to see a member of staff with bear hands compacting what looked like cheese in her hands before stuffing it into a croissant, beside her were a tray others already made so I could only surmise that she had also used bear hands to do fill these too. Not hygienic at all, so not wishing to digest any germs spread by a lack of the simple hygiene rule, I decided to eat elsewhere, but would suggest this lady gets urgent hygiene training before handling any further foods. 16.05.25 - Today I was once again walking past the shop, once again viewed a lady this time making filled rolls, again no gloves from one roll to the next, using her hands, was this cross-contamination as well as unhygienic? I think I will carry on walking by.
