What Stephen Gillane doesn't like about Local Hero:
Had a flat white. It was pretty good, lots of flavour. They wouldn't accept cash payment, pretty sure it's legal tender. No sign on the door to say card payment only. I was supposed to pay for a friend and instead I was met with a shouting of card payment only card payment only ... Won't be coming back. View all feedback. What Amit Lamba likes about Local Hero:
We were on the fence about trying a new cafe as there is Gail’s a few yards away but so glad we did. The Flat White was sharp, perfectly proportioned and the roast was simply delicious.

Nice quiet Sunday morning sausage sandwich and coffee whilst on my dog walk! Most welcome. Not to mention the best sausage sandwich in Kingston!

Local Hero in Kingston used to be a favorite spot for great coffee, but recent changes have left customers disappointed. Complaints range from below-average coffee and expensive cakes to rude staff and restrictive laptop policies. However, some have still found gems, like delicious brownies and exquisite pancakes. Despite mixed reviews, loyal customers praise exceptional coffee and friendly service, making Local Hero a unique and comforting haven in Kingston.

The coffee here is nice, not the nicest but better than going to a high street chain. The salted caramel chocolate brownie however is incredible!

Good coffee and have some vegan cakes. I find the prices to be too high for what you get though.
