The Cafe Where England Began in Kingston upon Thames

Great café, slightly hidden in plain sight. excellent service. The cakes are fresh and tasty. Good cup of coffee.

After a long-ish (8-9 miles) walk on a pretty hot day - is this our Indian summer? - we were parched, and even hungry. I'd made a note of several options for tea in Kingston .... and after completing this last 'leg' of the London LOOP (150 miles) on the Thames at the end of the river Hogsmill, and in sight of Kingston Bridge, turning down an alley brought us to the Market Place and that great sign - cafe open! It was cool, calm, and a warm welcoming smile from behind the counter - one of the students I assumed. Almost collapsing at the table, but struggled up and yes, wow! Taylors Yorkshire tea, and a lovely apple tartlet - tart and on a bed of stewed apple .... just right, not too sweet or sickly. I didn't get her name but she assured us that the cakes were good, wholesome and home-made .... my mate Steve bravely resisted the temptation of the gluten-free chocolate and mint, and the carrot, cakes .... We were 'wooshed' off to sit at our table and everything would be brought to us. I would have gone for a pot of tea, but she checked and the small pots they had contained no more than the large mugs. Perfection and bliss .... and I could have had a nap after that as well!

This is a great location for young children as there is a large play area with lots of toys and my toddler loves running around the church. The drinks and food are also good value for Kingston.

Often pop in here for a coffee and piece of cake etc. Makes a change from Pret (which is great). Set in All Saint's church which dates back to the start of the last millennium and where the kings of England used to be crowned. Peaceful and relaxing.

Una encomiabile iniziativa, per favorire l'attività lavorativa , a quel che ho capito, di studenti con disabilità. E'dentro una chiesa dove si respira non solo la storia di Kingston, ma dell'intera Inghilterra. Posto tranqullo e appartato, in una bella atmosfera. Tutti molto gentili e prezzi modici

The Cafe is a social enterprise cafe, run by students with some disability from Kingston College who are undertaking a course in catering. The Cafe is located inside All Saints Church, its very peaceful location compared to the other cafes in Kingston. They have also have a play area for small children.
