Description

Beckenham's café offers an intriguing experience, showcasing exceptional coffee and delicious food that keeps patrons coming back. However, the service suffers from inconsistent attitudes, particularly from a barista who often prioritizes friends and displays rudeness. While the cafe’s cozy atmosphere appeals to families and pets alike, concerns arise over hygiene practices observed in the open kitchen. Despite these drawbacks, loyal customers recognize the café's charm, citing its small yet delightful menu, particularly the standout seasonal items. For those seeking quality coffee and a vibrant vibe, this café remains a must-visit, albeit with some reservations.

Visited for a Saturday morning breakfast with my wife. Both breakfasts freshly cooked. Great homemade brown sauce. Tea and coffee excellent. Friendly staff.

This places offers the best coffee in Beckenham, it’s never too hot and tastes burnt. Always just right. But ask for the large size, as the regular is too small for me personally. And have you seen the size of their pastries…erm hello! Great value for money.

I came across this hidden gem and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere is cozy, the food is excellent, and the service is friendly. They're also dog-friendly, so I got to see some adorable faces while I enjoyed an amazing brunch. I will definitely return.

On multiple occasions, the barista at this cafe has displayed a horrible attitude. It can be uncomfortable to be there if you happen to do anything to annoy her, such as asking her to lower the music or bringing in a pram. The loud music also makes it difficult to enjoy time with family or have a conversation with anyone. She tends to serve her friends first and if she is feeling stressed, it is very evident. It is disappointing because this cafe has the best coffee in Beckenham and delicious food. Despite being loyal customers for years, the poor service really affects the overall atmosphere and now, I hesitate to go back.
