Raw Press in Kensington and Chelsea

Cute place, mainly recommended for smoothies and açai bowls. Nice selection of coffee!

CACAO for Now Açai was fantastic, but before all the great bowls and the chewy Grawnola (yes, play on words for something really tasty) the great team made our experience much more enjoyable. Big thanks to grace and the gentleman there whose name I didn’t catch. Highly recommend

I went here twice during my stay in London. I love the concept that you can build your own bowl (you can choose a hot base (porridge) or a cold one (yoghurt, smoothie bowl,…) and then add toppings like fruit, granola, nut butters and even protein powder). I think more cafes should offer this concept, because it allows for lots of different combinations so you can always try something new and everyone can choose and modify their breakfast according to their preferences. However I think the portions are quite small. And I would like to point out that even if you choose to dine in the food and drinks are served in paper or plastic cups and bowls with singular usage forks and spoons. It‘s not very nice and is obviously not environmentally friendly. Why not serve it with real plates, bowls and cutlery?

When I came, I ordered an açaí …. It was pre-packed and I was quite surprised to see they don’t have powdered milk to add …. Guys this is so strange. HOW DO YOU SELL AÇAI WITHOUT POWDER MILK ????????? This is like a pizza restaurant not having basil 🌿 or a sushi restaurant not serving tuna ORRRR a fish and chips shop not serving mushy peas. Updated review: Response from the owner: “Hi — it’s not pre-packed. We blend them fresh but pre-make the bases for speed of service in the morning. I’ve never heard of adding powdered milk to an acai bowl, and we are a plant-based cafe in any case so this isn’t something that we would do.” Hello- I have a couple of points to make. Firstly, I’m not sure what do you mean by “we blend them fresh”. Açaí should be sold to food service establishments already softened, so I’m not sure what you are actually blending. My mistake for not noticing Raw Press is a PB cafe, however, you’re selling a product you don’t know it’s full extent and pairing options. Powdered milk and condensed milk are very common to see as an ingredient. Looking at the reviews below, speed in preparing your menu is not your specialty anyways so it is also strange why the açaí is prepackaged.

Matcha latte was very underwhelming. Couldn’t really taste the matcha at all

I love that everything is plant based. I chose the pub&J acai bowl and it was delicious!

Staff were borderline mute as they did not speak unless it’s was ‘tap your card here’. Ordered monkey business such hard work to eat I do not recommend I could make at home in half the time. No music just like a sauna.

This cafe had really good vibes. They attended us really well! Food is amazing and is truly organic.

My Crazy Carlos was the best-ever smoothie!!!

I don’t usually leave reviews but I came across this hidden cafe today after spending the day at the Chelsea Flower Show. It was packed with people when I first arrived but the team are in high spirits and very helpful. The cafe offer the most extensive list of plant based milks to go with their drinks (which they don’t charge extra for!) I was spoilt for choice but went with the milk and matcha recommendation by the team and it was the best matcha I have had in London. It is nice that they are dog friendly too as I saw that they even offer homemade dog treats. I look forward to visiting again soon!

My recent visit left much to be desired due to the poor customer service. The staff, with their unfriendly demeanour and evident lack of interpersonal skills, made the experience quite unpleasant. It's evident that they could benefit from compulsory customer service training to enhance their approachability and professionalism. Moreover, the pressed juice, which wasn’t freshly made tasted as if it had gone off.

They have best acai and matcha i have ever tried and staff is very friendly.

Rawly unimpressed with Raw Press. I ordered a coffee and a bagel. They somehow forgot the coffee. And there was just one other customer. And four staff members. None of whom seemed to know what they were doing. When I eventually got my coffee, there was no apology. Just a look of indifference.

Slightly expensive but a lovely food selection of healthy, vegan and gluten free option.

3 people working. Still took them 10 minutes to make 2 coffees. Was more important to make themselves iced tea.

Cappuccino oo——- Wow, if you taste coffee in an ordinary cup, you will fly up on the clouds O M G s——o good 😍😁😍

Rubbish atmosphere, rubbish food and even worse service, don’t bother going here They were all having a chin wag instead of serving us, i asked for banana as they didn’t give me any in my bowl which i ordered, and they gave me an unpeeled banana off the side

Food was awful and service was appalling. Overpriced as well. Avoid.

Love this place I come a few times a week for oat lattes which are very good and pbj bowl which is so tasty. Service is fast and staff are always super friendly.

Such a great vibe at the cafe, the decor is lovely and the food and drink selection is great, there's stuff that you don't find anywhere else. Couldn't believe it's all plant-based too!

Seriously this place has the best healthy menu but sadly the staff changes all the time and my acai bowl portion depends on the person who prepares it! I wish they were more professional and maintain the standard at all times. ‘Cacao for now’ acai bowl was like half portion of toppings today and when I asked she said ‘oh yes it’s alright’. I eat the same bowl since day 1 - so it’s not the same!

Honestly can’t fault the PBJ Bowl. Popped in here on a whim and really enjoyed my late breakfast. It was quiet when I arrived and service was amazing.

Rudest service I have ever experienced, coffee was terrible too. Very judgemental, was not greeted by any staff, they did not even have the decency to treat me like a person.

Açaì bowls bere are such a rip off in this place. They basically blend it to cut the main ingredient with other fruits and tastes like bad baby food! The goal of açaì is to taste the rich flavor antioxidants of acai and basically you waste $12 pounds on a blended banana which has a horrible taste so anybody can do this at home. The customer service is also terrible, the girls at the counter didn’t care at all about helping. This place is an expensive risk I highly recommend people to avoid it and go where they want to provide the right ingredients without cutting corners to charge a lot and give so little. I hadn’t had a disappointing experience like this in years!

The staff are what makes this place amazing, plus the free dog treats!

They are so generous about the ingredients. Delicious granola and acai topics. Best acai, i have had so far in London.

A delightful little cafe selling delicious Italian snacks and pastries. Good coffee and my mozzarella, tomato and bazil sandwich hit the spot

Very very average place. I went for the açai bowl as I’ve heard good things but honestly it was nothing special. I’ve had better elsewhere and for cheaper price too. I know the area is expensive in general but this was overpriced for sure. They also forgot my order for about 30 mins even though staff saw me sitting there waiting for a while - usually I’d give the benefit of the doubt for things like this but it wasn’t even super busy at the time. I had to go and remind them. Staff were also quite unfriendly in general and the place just wasn’t giving good vibes unfortunately. I probably would not return.

Amazing staff, delicious and healthy drinks 👀

Amazing açaí + sexy smoothie = 🤤

Smoothie was super watery and had no flavor. After a few sips, thew it out. Plus the stuff is rude. Really wanted to like this place but this was a huge let down.

Wir sind ene Stunde zu dem Lokal gelaufen und haben uns auf das gesunde Frühstück gefreut. Leider waren wir sind enttäuscht als das Essen uns in Plastik serviert wurde. Frische, gesunde Sachen im Plastik. Es hat nichts mit Genuß zu tun. Das Essen war ok

Beautiful atmosphere amazing staff and incredible delicious food

Amazing breakfast pleace! All vegan & gluten free. The service was super friendly, my friend and I had the açai and the bircher muesli with the most delicious toppings. The portions were nice and big and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!

This place has the most insanely delicious Acai bowl in the UK! Ripe fruit, massive portions excellent price the total opposite from the overrated Oakberry in Brighton.

Too Good to Go bag consisted of: half a portion of vegan lasagne that was too salty to eat, a 250 ml drink, and a leftover chai pot with 2 berries floating in it that was two mouthfuls at best.

The concept of the cafe is good but we weren’t happy with any of our order. The phineas smoothie wasn’t very cold and not very good. The iced chocolate with cashew milk was watery with floating pieces of the chocolate mix and had a tart unpleasant taste - we had them add vanilla and a sweetener but still not very good. I make cashew milk and this was just off. Avo toast was just ok but the quality wasn’t good. Waited 20 min for the açai bowl but it turns out they forgot to make it - it tasted good. Two people working so not sure why it took so long - maybe a lot of online orders. They were nice but again it just wasn’t great. Sorry guys - wanted to love this place.

Very expensive for what it is. I waited a while to be served even though there were several staff behind the till chatting amongst themselves

Nearly £8 for a smoothie that was pre-made, not filled, and stuck in the fridge for who knows how long. The website says everything on the hanging boards is made to-order so perhaps they need to speak with the staff about not cutting corners if that is what’s going on. On top of that, staff was generally unfriendly and were only attentive to each other. It’s a shame really as I was looking forward to this place.

Ordered an ice coffee, shop was empty. shop got full, everyone who came in after us was served and walked out with drinks and food. husband went in asked where our coffee was he said he will do it. 30 mins waiting still no coffee. husband said where is our coffee, asked for refund and the man made it in seconds and handed it to him bad service. rude. avoid.

Very nice atmosphere, calming and cosy. The bagels are very good. The açai bowls are nice and refreshing.

Slow and absent minded service. Overpriced. Had limited items on the menu in stock. Really not worth the hype.

The most miserable staff. Very unhelpful and the smoothies were terrible. Also ignorant towards allergies!

Nothing special. Iced latte was with white chunks of coconut fat. Everything served in take away dishes. Avo bagel was good

Lovely aesthetic juice spot, great healthy choices. However, they struggle to cope efficiently with 4 customers. Waited 30mins for a smoothie… not the place if you want alto quickly grab something but great if you have time to waste.

Staff was friendly and had great recommendations. I had a small cappuccino with hazelnut milk which was so delicious I had another. That along with the "cacao for now" bowl; it hit the spot after a long day walking out in the early summer heat.

Very basic place. We ordered a bowl and a smoothie, they were OK and nice. Go both of them in plastic - while we sat inside, so at least we thought they would have proper plates and drinking pots. Service is cute and nice, the food is nothing fancy and just OK.

We were delighted to find Raw Press yesterday for some lunch. The lady behind the till explained they had run out of bagels but could sell us toast. She was friendly and pleasant. We paid 27 pounds for two toasts and two juices and sat outside to wait for our lunch. The seating area outside is pleasant and we drank our drinks. I was concerned when no food appeared after ten minutes and went inside. Could not catch the eye of the woman behind the till and so asked the woman who was making food how long our order would be. Dismissively she said oh we ran out of food she needs to give you a discount. I said were you planning on telling us? The woman behind the till was apologetic but the woman making the food was rude. It felt as though there was a complete breakdown of communication between them and it was incredibly disorganised. We got a refund and left. A disappointing experience.

My acai bowl was so yummy! This is my first time in London and i was really craving a bowl so I came here and they did not disappoint. The matcha latte was amazing as well! Highly recommend

super top food healty, delicious, lovely persons

Great place and very talented staff,I received goody bag with hand made art.loved matcha,they make it with maple syrup

Very nice plant based menu! The matcha iced latte was so rich in flavour and had a very nice texture. I recommend the cocoa for now açai bowl. The staff was kind and the owner was really nice and friendly!

Great coffee that you could enjoy, also super nice berry bowl tastes very well👍 the only minus is that they serve it in plastic drains out the aesthetic of the cafe and bad for the environment.

Loved it!!! Yummy vegan und very healthy food. Staff was super nice! Highly recommend

Love this cafe! Excellent food and great service. Couldn’t ask for more!

I got the PBJ bowl and it was simply okay. Good place for average smoothie bowls.

Excellent raw Kelp salads, kale Caesar salads, and blat wrap. This was the only place that I found raw food to go and it was excellent. They sell out quick so call ahead to hold. My only regret is that I didn’t buy more for the plane ride home. Coffee was great too ✨⭐️💫🦋

Cosy place with good customer service. I just had an Avo Toast & a cappuccino and they were fine. I didn’t like that they serve everything in take away boxes with plastic cutlery even if you eat in. Nice vegan place overall and will definitely be back in the future.

Popped in for a take out hot chocolate with oat milk. Sounds simple but many places can’t make a decent one - well Raw Press can, it was delicious and the staff are fantastic. Definitely recommend it. They had some yummy things on offer, so I will return.

The food was tasty but in a place which promotes health why on earth is everything served in disposable cups and boxes?

Unwelcoming customer service, felt like an inconvenience to the server. We got two black forest smoothies and they were vile. Spent 18 pounds or so on the two of them and threw them in the bin after three sips. Definitely would not recommend

Top 3 vegan spots in london!! DELICIOUS no matter what youre in the mood for - a smoothie, acai bowl, kelp noodle, raw wrap, hearty sandwich (gf options available!) and the best vegan protein powder for sale!!

The best açai in London. Cacao for now açai bowl, blat wrap, avo toast, salads and soups, everything is delicious.

Consistently bad customer service.

Lovely vegan cafe, hard working staff Would recommend the red velvet cupcake, wouldn't recommend 'The Stoner' sandwich as it was a bit bland

Terrible service, terrible coffee. Did not feel welcome, more of a hinderance. The coffee itself was one of the worst I’ve tasted, and I’m by no way a connoisseur.

Visited today to find the guy behind the counter panicking about the mice that were scuttling around under the coffee machine. Let’s hope it’s not an infestation. Meanwhile his colleague was expressing her annoyance at having to be part of the staff WhatsApp group. Completely oblivious that customers were in the shop.

Nice porridge bowl but didn’t understand why it’s served in non-reusable cups. Still very tasty and healthy tho.

They don’t even bother to cook the porridge, just pour oat on hot milk and thats it.

Very kind staff, excellent service and the best - healthy food and tasty. They also have options for GF bun for all the sandwiches and constantly improving the quality of it. Highly recommended spot.

Coffee was good, stuff is very caring

Great service Great smoothie Great brownie topping

I came here today during my lunch break for a drink... but was unfortunately greeted by a girl at the counter who was very unfriendly ( I am not sure if she was new). Also a few of the customers seated in this shop just kept on staring at me as if I had done something wrong. It is very clear they have never seen a person of colour. Luckily the other staff member who took my payment was friendly. If it was not for her the rating would be zero

One of the best smoothies I've ever had: Rumble in the jungle. Great service with a smiley face.

Il caffè mi è piaciuto molto fatto da giovani potevano pulire meglio il bagno

Great selection of grab and go healthy options. Didn’t get a chance to try the organic cold pressed juices, but very much enjoyed my oat milk latte and apple miso porridge. This will be my regular whenever I’m at Cadogan Hall.

Really disappointed. We were eating in so we expected to be served mugs but we just got paper takeaway cups which isn't very planet friendly - so much consumer waste! We had a long black coffee which was bitter and tasteless (and they had no sweeteners which is not great for diabetics). We also had a matcha chai latte which was nice until the bottom because the chai wasn't properly mixed and it was overpowering and full of bits (see photo). Finally we had a lemon and poppy seed muffin which was dry. The tables are too close together inside but the place itself is nicely decorated and has good music!

If you like being seen as a cool dude, this is the place👍

All plant based menu, enjoyed mu iced latte wasn't massively keen on the sandwich

That is a tasty cawfy. Thank you!

Raw press famous for juices yet fridge still broken after 2 weeks!! Sort it out

Bad service, waiters falling a sleep in their joggers. Porridge not warm and full of water.. cant recommend the place

They are serving lovely oat milk coffee and lemon&poppyseed muffin.

Raw Press is a lovely cafe just off Sloane Street on a quiet road that sells delicious coffee, fresh juices and smoothies, cupcakes, and bowls of goodness to whet your appetite. There is indoor and outdoor dining too. It's a charming place to sit outside away from the busy streets. They have cute yellow tables and chairs outside. The staff are happy, friendly and helpful when it comes to ordering. I would highly recommend Raw Press.

Very delishes and healthy meals with exceptional service. Very Happy to have found after a long walk in Hyde Park.

10/10 vv cute and love the vibe Açaí (I’m impressed

Muitas delicias atendimento excepcional

I ordered a sandwich, took 20min to receive it and when I asked why was take so long, they told me they were waiting some of the ingredients to be delivered.. so they knew It was take longer and just didn't say nothing.. in another table they give the wrong order and let someone also waiting a very long time . I'm impressed how 4 employees are so unable to manage 3 tables and a couple of orders!

Brilliant little find! Such a great varied healthy menu! And a big açai bowl!

Ordered raw vegan doughnuts from him, thinking they would be homemade etc - pre-packaged and tasted awful!

Lovely every time again. Love the Chai Latte and also the Acai Bowls are great.

Fantastic food and beverages, and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Be patient for your order because it's completely worth the wait. Vegan done well.

Disappointed with the food. All pre packed and unappealing. Dry waffles.

Really nice staff and great açai bowls!

This used to be my favourite place in London. They used to make this amazing raw wraps. I used to bring my friends there who would come to visit me in London. I would take them all to raw press for the raw wraps. And they all loved them. They were not even vegan. I used to spend at least 100£ A week on wraps, and biscuits which I would have for the whole week. This place was closed for a long time because of Covid. Then I Went away for the summer. First place I went to when I came back was this. I took my niece there. Telling her about this amazing wraps. We came there we ate courgette lasagna. I was immediately disappointed because lasagna was not the same. It was not raw anymore and the taste was not half as good. So we took wraps for take away. As soon as I took the first bite I just spat it out. It was horrible. It was not raw anymore. The falafel was baked and dry. The wrap was not dehydrated anymore but definitely baked. The taste was awful. My niece couldn’t eat it either. It was embarrassing as I talked so much about this place. Needless to say I never came back again.

It's definitely a nice little safe haven to sit down and feel comfortable and chat. Based on that alone, I'd give it a good score, because that's what I look for mainly. But half the operation is down because their chef isn't in.. better wait a week or two to come in if you want more than a porridge or toast or berry bowl . The rest of the menu looked quite good and varied though.

So many great healthy vegan options here, a real hidden Jem in slone square! High recommend the açai bowls as they are delish and super filling😍 can’t wait to be back

Love this cafe! Always has friendly staff and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The salads are 10/10 and love their specialty lattes!

After a long cycle around South London, I stopped at Raw Press for a quick bite to eat. Having asked the staff for a recommendation, I had a PBJ bowl with turmeric latte - not only was it delicious, but I think I cycled faster on the way back!
