The Coffee Mill in Richmond upon Thames

Despite usually enjoying the atmosphere within this cafe, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that as I went in for...

A Sunday morning after a heavy night and found this place. Luckily, there was a table in the sun on the pavement. We both went for an English Breakfast. So often, breakfasts have good components, but have one or two things done poorly. Not here. Eggs - whites firm and glossy, yolks deliciously runny. The sausage was meaty and savoury. The bacon had a crisp edge and was smoky but not overdone. A nice big juicy half tomato with some charr. Lovely crisp toast and just the right amount of butter. The obligatory beans (must have been Heinz) and melt in the mouth fried mushrooms. My only (tiny) concern - not enough mushrooms! Coffee was great too. If I find myself in Teddington again, I'll be back. Ooh, very reasonable too for London prices!!

I ordered scrambled eggs with prawns and avocado followed by toast and it was unusually tasty. This place provides free coffee on weekdays and it's good value for money. The service is professional and always pleasant. Will use this place whenever I need a substantial breakfast. I rate this place 9 out of 10.

I have been here many times. I asked for a pasta and when it came I asked for Parmesan cheese. The cheese was off. I told the lady, she opened the fridge, smelled the cheese and said it was fine. It was not! I'm a Parmesan fanatic and know it will only keep a few days when opened. Anyway she put it back in the fridge. Also can you please replace the fridge it makes such a noise and the whole floor vibrates, wouldn't surprise me if it would catch fire!!

Been coming here a few years now, great food, lovely coffee. Sometimes a bit noisy. Lovely staff. overall very good experience.

This place is great for cooked breakfasts. They happily book tables for family parties. There were seven of us and the food arrived simultaneously although the restaurant was full.

Waited half an hour for scrambled eggs. Chef came out at one point wearing the filthiest clothes imaginable, handled a few dirty cables on the ground then went back into the kitchen without washing hands and started handling food. Disgusting. Unhygienic and terrible service isnt a great combination.

Food is great - best breakfasts you'll find in the area at a reasonable price. But nowadays perennially understaffed and over-crowded. Takes an age to get served - waited almost an hour recently for a basic order. A shame.

Spot on poached eggs and good coffee, friendly service and relaxed ambience. An ideal neighbourhood coffee bar.

Nice breakfast not too bad for the price. Although would maybe suggest adding black pud on the menu. Good selection of drinks. Not 100% happy about the Value bread tho.

Breakfast at its best. For 10 years twice a week I eat mine here not greasy and cooked fresh to order, never had a problem. Try the eggs benedict too. Although is not the best looking place I ve been into, it is a great spot to know for Breaky...

Had breakfast at The Coffee Mill this morning. Have tried various breakfasts around Kingston, Surbiton, Ham, Teddington area. You cannot beat the Coffee Mill for a well cooked, good value breakfast in pleasant surroundings. There are a few cafes in Teddington and this one has been there some time. Newcomers are OK but tend to be overpriced, pretentious and also a tendency to be mother and toddler blighted. Coffee Mill is good for family but more grown up. It is hard to beat for breakfast! Lunches are good too.
