Rhythm & Brews in Hounslow

Rhythm & Brews was (and is) my FAVOURITE coffee shop in London. I lived in London in 2018 just around the corner in Chiswick and it was my staple. Food, coffee and staff are super friendly. I visited again in 2022 and went there to reminisce for old time sake. I will be buying their coffee beans and getting them posted back to Australia, I love the coffee that much.

Absolute lack of service here…. Unfortunately, me and my friend had the worst and the smallest table possible. It’s almost impossible to order food because ladies at the bar keep talking to each other and not paying attention to customers. They kept forgetting about items we ordered and I had to remind them million times. The food was great, but lack of service and at least minimal respect is awful and I doubt if I will come back.

Rhythm + Brews was my favourite coffee shop and quite convenient as I live just around the corner and often meet/take friends there. On the odd occasion when my internet is down, I pop in to enjoy coffee/cake while I work. Not anymore. Home internet was down this afternoon so off to R+B I went. Big mistake. Laptop users can no longer use the padded seats along the wall near to the outlets. Instead they are relegated to the middle of the cafe with hard chairs, rickety tables and no access to outlets. If that is your policy, so be it. But maybe instead of a ban on the more comfortable area of your cafe, you could try a minimum charge for those wishing to bring their laptops or a time limitation during busy periods? Better yet, you could find staff who don't get snarky when someone questions the reason for the policy and responds with "if you don't like it, there are plenty of other places for you to go." She was right. There are. I am sitting in one right now just a few mins walk away. Good luck to you. This long-time customer won't be coming back.

Had the most wonderful coffee here. The vibes were so good, and love all of the records and choice of music. I had a great brunch, bacon was nice and crispy! Highly recommend!

By far the best breakfast I've had in London. The service was top notch. I would highly recommend anyone to pay a visit

Had the r&b breakfast which consisted of eggs, sausage, bacon (which was cooked cooked crispy as I had requested), bacon hash browns, tomatoes on the vine, sour dough toast, they serve beans with this but I asked them to hold it, and it really hit the spot. Our waitress, I think was the owner’s daughter, was very friendly and upbeat on a Sunday Monday morning. We didn’t want to leave and were not under any pressure to go any where so we enjoyed our time lazying around and watching the world go by. We could see that all other tables were attended to in the same manner we were dealt with, so you could see no one was looked over. Bonus point from me, toilets were clean. Toilets must be clean at all times. Definitely going back

I came here a couple weeks ago with some friends for brunch. We had the RnB breakfast and everything was cooked to perfection. One of my friends is vegan and the staff were very accommodating. Highly recommend this place!

I tried to deal with this privately, however after attempted, un-answered phone calls and an un-responded email, I need this to be recognised and offer a warning to those who come here, as the lack of response proves no care for the well-being of their customers or the training of their staff. I suffer from a gluten and egg allergy, and am vegan. I voiced this not once, but twice and when paying/ordering the woman behind the till confirmed what I ordered was 100% gluten free and vegan. When the plate arrived I had a gut feeling the GF bread they used contained egg. I then asked the waitress, who took the food back, checked with the chef and confirmed the bread did have egg in. I could have been seriously ill had I eaten this, due to an egg allergy (it doesnt help that I'm also vegan)! I wasn't offered any refund for this and due to being with friends and not wanting to cause a fuss I hadn't pushed for one, at the time. I did expect something back after trying to reach out. But due to no response, I've ended up on here. They did however say they would make something up for me. I requested just some cooked veg and avocado, as there wasn't much else - they came back with nothing more than some leaves, a couple seeds and 1/4 of an avocado. I'm so disappointed with this, such a bad taste and thankfully I trusted my gut and not the woman behind the till!

The food is delicious and instagramable. The coffee is divine, and the service is exceptional. Love going here on my lunch or with my husband and kids. Great place.

Frankly the best breakfast I've ever had. Garlic hash browns, amazing bacon, lovely runny egg and beautifullypresented with a lovely coffee too.

What a fabulous place.Great food, great coffee and an amazing vibe!! Just one thing the laptop users are annoying as they hoard a table for hours with jus one drink! l highly recommend this place

Came here with a friend the other day and had their breakfast which was possibly the best I've ever had. The coffee was also very good as was the service. Will be back

Very nasty manager who shouted at customers for no reasons, fee people left at the same time cause if that, the place is nice but doesn’t deserve anyone!

I must share the experience I had this morning as it was extremely unprofessional and humiliating. I still feel really shaken by it. I am a regular customer of Rhythm & Brews, I go there on the weekend to have brunch with friends or a coffee whilst reading my book. The atmosphere is very friendly, regular customers know each other and the waiters are fab. Probably the nicest coffee shop in Chiswick. I also know very well that the coffee shop has non-laptop areas and a one-hour rule laptop area. For the first time ever this morning, I wanted to use my laptop and had to ask for the wifi password. I had already ordered my breakfast and coffee and was waiting for it to arrive. I had the misfortune to ask for the password to the owner of the place who responded to me very abruptly that laptops are not allowed on weekends. She called me "rude" when I mentioned the "one-hour laptop" sign and when I said that it was fine, that I will have my coffee and go. The owner did not like my response and would not let go, shouting across the place that I was rude, came towards me and said "you should leave and have your coffee somewhere else sweetheart". I have never felt so humiliated in public before and was very upset by the whole situation that I had to leave the premises in tears. I would recommend to not go there if you are planning on using a laptop or when the owner is around. I also feel sorry for the staff who had to witness this "show" this morning.

I stumbled upon this gem whilst visiting a friend. Possibly one of the best brunch I've ever had! Coffee was great and the vibe was unreal.They actually play records! Will definitely be back!

Found this little gem just off the main road at corner of Turnham Green. Really lovely coffee shop, beautiful coffee and amazing cakes. If you are gluten and dairy free they also have options. Would definitely recommend and will visit again. Reasonable prices as well. Not quite sure why some reviewers say it’s expensive, absolutely not for expensive for London it’s very reasonable and good quality. Thank for a lovely couple of hours

Wow!! What an awesome place!! Breakfast was superb and so beautifully plated! The service was second to none and the lovely Mariana was a pleasure to talk to! Thank you can’t wait to visit again super soon.

Had a matcha latte to go, was a little expensive and was maybe luke warm. A warning to anyone Gluten Free - The cake is clearly not separated and one of them was clearly touching a non gluten free cake, I wouldn't view it as safe for any coeliac to eat here.

Had such a great time here, food and drinks were delicious and the staff were fantastic ( especially Marianna) she made it a really enjoyable time for us.

Just popped in to get a quick bite to eat on my way to work decided on the granola and a detox smoothie. Detox smoothie was amazing I got a spring in my step and the Granola was so fresh crunchy and sweet. I was...

My absolute favourite brunch & coffee shop in Chiswick. Amazing food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere with an incredible vinyl record collection! Couldn’t recommend more.

Rhythm and Brews is a fantastic little spot, with top tier vibes and aesthetic the breakfast was absolutely delicious and the presentation was top drawer!

I love this cafe - lovely coffee, friendly staff who remember your order and great food. Went in for usual coffee and had a delicious fruit smoothie. Another reason to visit!

Cannot recommend this place enough... brilliant coffee shop and record /vinyl sales too... Great coffee, good selection of hot bites to take away and all served with a smile... this is one of those places that makes Chiswick and London special... if you love chain...

Popped in after a short cycle. Really accommodating place and bike friendly, perfect for that after ride treat. Excellent venue, great coffee and wonderful staff!

Great little gem in Chiswick! Delicious coffee, fabulous service and vinyls playing all day, where else can you get that in London? Such a great find and will definitely be coming back soon.

Everyone needs to try this coffee! Especially if it’s made by server Laura, the coffee looks and tastes fantastic! Come and visit. I can see why it’s travellers choice!

Love it - goto place; great food and breakfast, friendly staff, great coffee. Can't wait for it to re-open!

Rhythm & Brews has got to be the best place for a Coffee a Brew, Breakfast and their Smoothies are amazing! The staff are nice and friendly and to top it off they play Vinyl! Where else in London has all of this! I thoroughly...

I was looking for event space for a work party in west London, and was struggling to get somewhere until I found this gem! What an amazing venue, great atmosphere, perfect setting for drinks. We had platters that were so delicious and a large array...

R&B breakfast- the best breakfast I’ve ever tried. The oat milk latte was really smooth, highly recommend for any vegans as they have various alternative milks. Amazing customer service !!!!

I came to Rhythm & Brews with my friends for an English breakfast and we were not disappointed! ‘The R&B breakfast’ was amazing, filling and of such high quality. The service was amazing and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The caramel latte...

Had the R&B breakfast and absolutely loved it!! The food is the best quality and the staff are so lovely, will definitely be coming again!!

I like to visit top cafes and restaurants when I’m here and I found this little gem of a cafe, great music playing on vinyl, friendly staff and the food is amazing! Laura was very pleasant and will definitely be back!! I definitely recommend this...

The food was unbelievable, best place in town The RnB breakfast was amazing and the staff are the friendliest I’ve met in London I highly recommend visiting.

Great vibe to this place and nicely off the main street to not be too jam packed. The staff came round with a tin of quality street for the customers (visiting just before Christmas) which was a really nice touch. The portion of red velvet...

Very good cafe/ coffee shop in an out-of-the-way location, so the casual footfall of curious punters is less than it’s competitors on the High Street. Great coffee, grand breakfasts, good snacks & super music for you to select, play (or purchase) on proper vinyl !

...but my mocha coffee was only lukewarm. Beautifully artworked - but your coffee does have to be hot. I'd recommend the atmos (good music - just listening to Midnight Special) and staff but add the word "hot" when you order, if that's what you expect....

I love this local cafe! Friendly staff, good coffee and good food and a really nice atmosphere! I regularly work from R&B or just drop in for a coffee or the occasional lunch. I just had the nicest chicken salad for lunch I’ve had in...

Great coffee and food and delightful knowledgeable staff with wonderful music choice on vinyl. Best croissants in West london

It was nice. Welcoming atmosphere for all supporters. Frienly social climate. I will visit again soon.

Friendly place with friendly people, and the coffee was very delicous. I'll visit again soon. Thank you guys!

The staff are warm and welcoming, the music is great, the food is delicious and the best croissants ever! Rhythm and brews has become the real “go to place” in Chiswick.

Went in today for the first time and was amazed at how fabulous this cafe is! The food is exceptional and the ambience is very cool. Definitely my fav cafe so far.

A very busy café but lively atmosphere and nice coffee. I would recommend this place but it does get busy.

Very first visit,Simply 5 star, thanks chefs Fantastic food, good service and nice atmosphere, just perfect 👌

Only recently discovered this little cafe on a recent trip to Chiswick! The best selection of vinyls, makes this cafe a music lovers dream! Food and coffee also delicious with fab customer service and genuine lovely staff. Definitely will make a trip to Chiswick just...

Have been coming here for lunch for at least four years and have never been disappointed apart from the day that there was no room for us. Good fresh food and attentive, professional staff make a great start to our afternoon in London. Not going...

Probably the nicest location in Chiswick, overlooking Turnham Green Park and only a 2 minute walk from the high street! The atmosphere again was electric, 70s funk on vinyl playing and as always we gave the staff a few records to chose from while we...

Had the best experience! Lovely staff, coffee, food and lovely area! I highly recommend for families!

R&B is the best cafe to visit with friends or by yourself, the atmosphere and staff are so welcoming and the music is an added bonus! Love their food, especially the breakfast and the avocado salad! It’s unlike any other cafe I have been to...

Great place .. nicely decorated and the food served is amazing! Just avoid weekends since it gets too busy and make sure to order their avocado toast 😍

I've been here with friends and it's such a nice atmosphere, they play vinyl! Good service, delicious food and very nice chai latte ❤ definitely we'll be back again

I went into this beautiful cafe a few months ago alone and had the most amazing breakfast I’ve ever tasted. I then ordered some lunch for myself and work colleagues and everybody was raving about the quality, taste and quick delivery. Last week I went...

Excellent atmosphere, very friendly, approachable and the best tasting decaf latte I have experienced, which is one of the reasons why I go back. The ambience is amazing with the proprietor at hand to make you feel welcome and part of the family. Closing hours...

Excellent coffee. Very plesant atmosphere with the friendliest staff. The all day breakfast is a must. Dog friendly.

I was walking my dogs to Turnham Green park this morning and usually i came from other direction but thankfuly and to my amazement there is a small very cool vinyl cafe overlooking the park that opened and so decided to pop in for lunch...

Kind Staff and High quality Food. highly recommend this cafe, amazing milkshakes with high quality ingredients

Serves good light food, coffee, tea. Highlight for me was its collection of fine LPs. I picked up one, The Very Best of Cream, to look at while ordering food at the counter. A few moments later, our food and tea in front of us,...

As espresso epicures, we travel the world for the best espresso. Will this place make our very short list as possibly our favorite ever. They play lp records... A great vibe. Try it if you are near... Fantastic

I ordered the R&B Breakfast and was firstly taken by surprise at the astonishing presentation courtesy of the star cafe chef, Stevo. The attention to detail is clearly apparent, especially when a lot of effort went into the artful masterpiece. I’ve personally witnessed the preparation...

Another shout out for the best music and cafe in Chiswick. I recommend the falafel salad which is one of the best lunches in W4.

Food lovely and the atmosphere great buzzing and friendly. The owner is around which makes a difference.

Great coffee, good food, bright staff and quality music. What’s not to like. My favourite is the pastrami sandwich. Cakes are dangerously tempting- you have been warned.

This is a coffee cake and homemade sandwich/roll place. They play rock , blues and folk classics on vinyl. Friendly staff and proprietor. P.S. they also serve wine and beer plus interesting soft drinks

Vinyl Cafe playing LPs of your favourite Jazz & Blues. Drinks & cakes. Great Atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Second time I've visited here; the coffee and food is delicious and well priced. Having ordered the eggs Florentine last time and loved it - I wanted to have the same. However this time I was a bit disappointed - 2 members in my party...

I use little places like this for work bases and I love it in here! I will say the only negative thing first and get it out the way... The coffee isn't bad here. Thats it! The food was great, Steve and team are great...

This is my favourite of the two cafes i use when on my Wednesday morning bike rides. Coffee is great cakes wonderful and it generally has some great old vinyl being played. Not usuually too busy despite gere being a free wi-fi network but I've...

Located on a corner, a place for trendy people to go. Was very cosy when i went in, could do with a bit more vinyl to browse...

Stopped here for a coffee on a Sunday afternoon. Really aesthetically pleasing, music themed decor. Friendly staff. The coffee and cake I had were both really tasty (although quite pricey for the size), and there were veggie and vegan options for breakfast/lunch which I may...

Excellent coffee (and tea on other occasions), with a good selection of homemade cakes. Haven't tried lunch or other, but all plates I have seen on other tables looked very good. Great music on disc - and customers can choose what's playing from the selection...

Me and my boyfriend had brunch here and had the R&B's Full English lt was the best I have tasted in west London topped with nice coffee. The place was dog friendly and decor is fab with lots about old music and staff very friendly...

Tucked a street away from Chiswick High Road, this beautifully stylish coffee shop is straight out of a movie scene. The decor is absolutely fabulous and extremely homely. Adorning the walls are musical and artistic memories that is reminiscent of a journey through time. There’s...

This is a gem, great atmosphere with music from vinyl collection and a simple menu. The coffee is really good & feels like an oasis of calm

Lovely cafe, great atmosphere and fab food. I recommend the falafel salad which I had today which was lovely.

Great atmosphere, great service. Chiswick has several good cafe's but this is the best. It has a real community feel and is full of regulars. Can't praise it highly enough.

Break the chain! Go local! This coffee shop has everything. Delicious food, great coffee, and vinyl on sale and on the speakers (not too loudly). Beats the competition hands down.

Unlike many places in Chiswick this place is really relaxed. Although busy with customers there is always a spot to sit and relax and enjoy a good coffee. The two girls Martina and Donna that were in today are super friendly and found time to...

Had a great experience the other day at rhythm & brews. Great service, food and coffee ( especially the chicken pesto salad ) I would highly recommend this cafe. 👍

It's my second home! I live here every morning! Coffee is amazing , as amazing is all the staff! It's a very unique experience as it's A Vinyl Coffee shop so you can you choose a vinyl and ask to play it , you can...

This should have been a great lunch, however enticing hoards of "out the office" customers who order 1 coffee in 3 hours while sitting at a 4 seat table is not the way to run a business. There is no urgency to turn the tables...

This is my local. I live here. I settle in for a few hours to work as do many others, three or four times a week. I am not in a hurry (so have not experienced the service concerns others have mentioned) but I grant...

Lovely Service Great Coffee Relaxed Atmosphere with comfortable seating. Free Wifi and plug sockets as well.

The atmosphere is amazing, as is the location. The quality of the food is gorgeous. A place you could meet with friends for an afternoon of laughs and great conversation, or take your laptop to and make your office for the day, with its own...

This is my favourite local coffee shop. The best coffee this side of the river, super friendly baristas and loads of character. You can play vinyls by your choice and they have live regular gigs. Highest recommendation

I have never visited the cafe before, in fact I heard that it was great by other friends and family members that live in the area of Chiswick. The whole atmosphere of the cafe was lovely and I enjoyed having a great time listening to...

I am a huge fan of rhythm and brews. My partner and I come in regularly with our puppy and love that we can buy old Vinyls for our record player. We really enjoy the atmosphere, however, sometimes customer service lets the place down. This...

This review is based on a few times Ive been there on my way to work to get a takeaway coffee, and havent yet been there to try the food. I live very close to this coffee shop and pass it every day on my...

I often come and chill out with a drink in Rhythm and Brews, in Chiswick between my shifts. The atmosphere is great and there’s always different music playing. You can even pick your own vinyl to play from the cafes selection. The coffee is good...

My most recent visit was for lunch. I had the falafel salad which was delicious and filling. The service is always warm and friendly. The atmosphere is always great because of the staff and the excellent range of vinyl albums on rotation. I have eaten...

Rhythm and brews is such a friendly environment, so peaceful and the drinks are incredible. I love it ❤️

I am a regular customer and I always enjoy my time in the cafe, the service is great, food and drinks are always at a high standard. Would recommend it if you havent been yet!

This cafe is full of good coffee, good food and good music. The staff are all lovely and welcoming. The food is delicious. The owner, Ann is one of the nicest women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting!

R&B is the perfect place to go, every time. Great people, great atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend!

Fun music-themed cafe where you can choose your record, great coffee, very good peanut butter blondie

Best coffee in Chiswick by far! Looove the chill atmosphere here, there's always good music playing. And super friendly staff. This place has become my favourite cafe :)

Service terrible, half a cup of coffee and dirty milk pot bottle. Gone down 👇 everybody complaining.....still waiting for toast, won't be rushing back. Chef outside smoking 🚬 straight back in to work without washing his hands yuck.
