The De Morgan Café at Leighton House in Kensington and Chelsea

I felt I was an imposition to the chef and assistant. The croissant wasn't baked enough so it was doughy and the service was dismissive - the price is high in comparison to nearby cafes. Admittedly there were few of us as customers so there was not the incentive but to rest her foot on the seat of the customer chairs was too much so I left.

We met our friend Joanna after a challenging journey on all sides (tube station closed, park rear entrance bolted, crossed messages and inclement weather). Very happy to find this cafe open and Peter so welcoming. The freshly-made lunch offering was just emerging from the kitchen as we arrived and we found a table overlooking the gorgeous garden to recover. Joanna had some complicated dietary requirements and Juliette went out of her way to prepare something Joanna could eat without worry, and it was all delicious! Thus fortified and spirits restored, we were able to enjoy the delights awaiting us inside Leighton House. A great place to visit and share with friends.

This was a nice place to have a coffee and eats then wander around the house . The staff were lovely and the gardens were great

Merci beaucoup à Juliette pour son enthousiasme et son énergie. Les gâteaux étaient excellents. Ne pas hésiter après la visite, cette pause sucrée est obligatoire

Beautiful selection of bagels and sandwiches with such mouthwatering filings - it was so difficult to decide! The staff were so friendly and attentive and were more than happy to freshly prepare a (very generously sized) gluten free equivalent for me whilst my husband enjoyed the pastrami bagel with mustard mayo, cheese and pickles. The coffee was great and there was a lovely selection of cakes too (though sadly I was too full from my enormous sandwich to partake - perhaps next time!). Would definitely recommend.

As someone who has wheat and cow’s milk allergies I was well looked after by the lovely staff at De Morgan’s. Specially prepared gluten free rolls packed with avocado, dried tomatoes, chestnut and crispy onion were with me in a jiffy. Thank you for your kind consideration.
