The Kennington Coffee Shop in Lambeth

The coffee was nice but the owner is strange- at first it seemed maybe he was trying to be friendly (?) asking lots of questions but then he started getting too close for comfort, putting his hand on my waist to walk past me about 3 times in under a minute. All while his wife was right there, strange vibe.

I love this coffee shop, it’s a welcoming and friendly place, the staff were very engaging and informative for London knowledge which was really helpful.

Nice coffe shop but the owner is dishonest and rips off his staff. He still owes me £1100 but refuses to answer emails. Just so you know before you give him your money...

Barista is rude. He asks questions then makes weird passive aggressive comments. Great spot if you like to be mansplained to and put down while you’re getting coffee.

Gemoedelijk klein buurtcafé waar we iedere dag ontbeten toen we in The Ship Rooms verbleven. Lekkere koffie en ruime keuze uit belegde panini’s, croissantjes en verschillende zoetigheden. Werden steeds geholpen door een vriendelijke dame en de laatste dag door een man die ons bovendien nog leuke tips gaf voor Londen. Zou hier zeker even langs gaan als je in de buurt bent.

Very good environment. All there treated with lot of respect and I was feeling like belongs to the family!!! Well done!!!! I'm sure I will be there very soon!! Thank you for make me very confy in your services. 🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

First sip of my flat white prompted an “oh my god I think that’s the best coffee I’ve ever had”. Amazing little place, coffee is out of this world.

A real community feel about the place. Very friendly staff Andrew who was lovely. The coffee was delicious and the cakes and pannis looked amazing. A real gem

We were in London for two weeks (May 2019) and had rented a nearby apartment. The first thing the landlord did after showing us the place was to walk us toThe Kennington and introduce us to Andrew, the owner. We became fans of both him and his cafe. Good coffee, breakfast, lunch, or dessert if you'd like, reasonable prices, humor and amusing repartée. This snug spot caters mostly to locals but tourists like us were brought into the fold and made to feel like regulars. Andrew was always welcoming, curious about our plans for the day, and offered invaluable tips about getting around. Thoughtfulness seemed to flow about the cafe. For example, since our last trip to England the 5 pound note and 1 pound coin had been redesigned. Who knew? Andrew offered to exchange our old money for the new in order to save us the trouble of finding a bank to do the job. How nice is that? On our last day we stopped by to say our farewells and it felt like we were leaving friends behind. We had found our Cheers in London and were sorry to be going.

Small and quirky coffee shop in residential part of Kennington. Local regulars put the worlds to rights with staff whilst enjoying good coffee , pastries and cakes. Hot food including toasties served. Everyone made very welcome and staff very helpful. They seem to have arrangement with The Ship Pub next door as sone of their menu items also on offer.

Personnel très sympathique , très accueillant et chaleureux, Halil est top, à l’écoute et conseille vraiment bien! La nourriture est excellente et le prix très raisonnable. Je recommande absolument ce restaurant pour les breakfast!!

Stopped in for Coffee and a light meal my first day in London. Server was very friendly and gave us several good suggestions for our trip.

Suite à une déconvenue avec rbnb,nous nous sommes retrouvé dans cette excellent coffee shop.Quelle surprise de trouver un endroit pareil à Londres ou nous avons eu le meilleur des acceuils par Andrew et ses clients qui forme une vraie famille. Tout est parfait,l'ambiance,le café extraordinaire, les repas succulents mais surtout la gentillesse et l'aide apportée par Andrew. Nous reviendrons forcément lors de nos prochainsponsors voyages à Londres. Merci Andrew. Martine, Thierry et Ruben
