Usefully, you can come here without having to get an entry ticket to the Palace, so you could combine it with a lovely walk along the towpath, exploring the nearby village or admiring the glories of the Rose Garden http://www.qype.co.uk/place/90297-Rose-Garden-East-Molesey . It can get pretty busy and crowded but there's a pleasant atmosphere and a decent choice of hot and cold food, for main meals, or snacks. The children's lunch boxes are handy, appealing and fairly-priced. I thought the cakes and brownies were quite enticing, until I stood behind the person who was replenishing them from his trolley, with a set of tongs, and then completed the task by adjusting the display, with his bare hands (eeuww!). If it weren't for that, it would have merited 4 stars...

We choose a double espresso and two piccolo lattés as well as a nice Nutella brownie to stay. For everything combined, I pay little over 10 pounds.

The service guys are really very friendly and talkative and make your coffee shop experience even cooler! Well def come back! Try it out!!!

I've been meaning to pop over to Libertea since I moved to Finsbury Park. Three years later I…read morefinally made it....and an adorable, little find it is. Really cute surroundings and lovely tea and sandwiches. I wish they'd mentioned that they had a tea menu - didn't see this on the counter, didn't think to ask and so default ordered English Breakfast as always. To be fair, I would probably have ordered the same regardless but it's the principle of the choice. I did love the little timer that came with me tea - a cute and quirky detail. This seemed a great place to chill for a few hours - books and free wi-fi and tea. All ideal things. It's a shame that they're limited to salads and sandwiches due to a lack of a full kitchen as I think that this would be an ideal brunch place. It's also a shame that they're not open on a Sunday (though as they weren't busy on a Saturday I can see why not) as that's when I'd be more likely to amble by. But I will be back and I might even venture a more dramatic tea choice.

Celebrated my birthday here and to say that it was a magical experience would be an understatement…read more The room is elegant and beautiful. We opted for the afternoon tea w/ a glass of champagne and the assortment was absolutely delicious, especially the sandwiches and scones with clotted cream. The staff were so welcoming and beyond lovely. I won't spoil the birthday surprise but my friend legitimately cried and it wasn't even her birthday!! lol. Such a memorable experience. I know the Afternoon tea option is pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. Treat yourself and you won't regret it.

Arrived for our reservation for afternoon tea early, but they accommodated us. The staff was kind and congratulated my husband & I on celebrating our honeymoon. They even gave us a congratulations dessert and card, so sweet! Our waitress, Naomi, was so kind! She answered questions I had about the tea and explained each dish. She checked up on us a lot and was overall just a fun spirit to talk to. She let me try the sparkling Jasmine pearl tea because I mentioned I loved Jasmine pearl tea. The experience was quite expensive, but can't go wrong with afternoon tea in this wonderful hotel in London!

This place is very popular and trendy! I had the pleasure of having an early morning brunch here…read morewith a good friend to beat the morning crowd.

I had a nice quant early morning breakfast here in London. Service was friendly. There is not a lot…read moreof room on the inside but we managed to find a table. The pastries looked delicious even though I didn't buy any. I had turkish eggs. This breakfast item was very different from the usual food I've had for breakfast. Poached eggs served over feta & garlic yogurt with chili butter. Somehow the contrasting tart and tangy flavor of the yogurt worked well with the eggs and chili spice. Not a heavy dish but mature and refreshingly different. I decided to have english breakfast tea afterwards and enjoyed it as well. It was good tea but nothing different from the breakfast tea I drink at home in the states. My sister attempted to order milk or cream for coffee and the waitress just didn't understand what she was asking for and said "no we don't have any". It was an interesting confusion after asking for it a few times in disbelief. Lol. My time spent here at breakfast was relaxing.

This is my favourite of the two Starbucks locations within London Victoria Station, it is towards…read morethe front of the station at Unit 3B Victoria Station Frontage, it is close to Platform 2. I do like the exterior, where you can see the exposed brick going into the store, they have the traditional Starbucks decor/feel, despite being a railway location, if you'd prefer to sit outside on the railway concourse and watch the trains pass, you can also do this, due to their extended seating area available. The staff seem friendly enough, although the availability of menu items could be improved as I was told they do not stock Cold Brew here, which meant I had to do without my favourite Starbucks beverage. Prices did seem a little more expensive, even compared to the Starbucks on Buckingham Palace Road (roughly a 5 minute walk away, across the road), but this is common for railway station locations. 3* - A nice location if you're in a rush ahead of getting a train, or simply want to relax with a coffee and watch the trains, but there are better and slightly cheaper Starbucks locations across London.

The jury is out on Granier. I love my bread, and a new baker on Portobello Road actually selling…read moreloaves of bread is a good thing in principle - beats Greggs. Just not sure about the garish decor - it's more reminiscent of bakery chains found in German train stations than an independent artisan baker. OK, so first impressions on actually walking in is that this must be an Eastern European chain. I duly opted for a loaf of the Russian bread. £2.90 for a small loaf of rye bread seems to be the going rate for the area, and the bread is actually quite tasty - a proper "schwarzbrot"! The cakes were another matter, I opted for a small slice of apple cake which was quite horrible. I've since done a little bit of online research and was very surprised to learn that Granier is a Spanish franchise company. Portobello Road actually has a lot of Spanish and Portuguese history but Granier doesn't come across as authentic in the way that Garcias a few blocks down the road does. I will return for more bread but avoid the sweet temptations from now on. Takeaway only for me, too, as the decor just doesn't do it for me.
