Alianti - Richmond Upon Thames

This is small delightful establishment we just happened on (walked from Ham House along the Thames) , and where of us had a super snack lunch, baguettes and sandwiches,. Almost tempted by some of the hot food options but a warm summer's day helped...us resist. Great range of appetising choices, excellent value for money; (much better than some nearby alternatives). Helpful cheerful staff, speedy service. Desserts were extremely difficult to resist. It was a pleasure to sit outside but shaded from the sun. Hope to return! Afternoon Tea with desserts, perhaps?

Breakfast was a joke.. no toilets, nowhere to wash hands or even sanitiser….. staff miserable and rough…. Food out of a packet and the vegetarian breakfast was a plate of tomatoes with poor scrambled eggs…. Shocking!

The coffee is great (and that’s saying a lot since Rosie and Java is right around the corner). The food is equally good and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The inside is a bit dated (BUT absolutely charming) and this is where and how...I want to start a lazy weekend morning when the veil of COVID lifts.

Went on a sunday not very busy but a bit disorganized was slow service. sandwich was good cake was excellent did not sit in had a take a way. would go again

It's a tiny cafe with a decent range of sandwiches and cakes. The staff, however, are too busy chatting to serve. It's quite disorganised there. It made me want to leave. The coffees are nice. The seating area needs to be cleaner.
