The Best Cafes in Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

What a lovely place! I love how they elevate the classic Filipino pastries. I’ve had the Buko Ube Pie and to me it was life changing. (We don’t have Filipino pastry shops in the Netherlands.) So much buko in a pie, in combination with the ube custard, in a flaky skin; It was just magnificent. I also got the Pan de Asado, Chorizo & 3 cheese pandesal and the Chocolate Churro Bibingka. All so incredible. Both pans were fluffy and moist, not dry at all. The asado tasted great. I liked the chorizo one, as it was something different, but my fave was absolutely the asado. The Biningka was just *chef’s kiss*. I also got a cappuccino (really a sidenote compared to all the pastries), they have great coffee! Would absolutely visit again next time I’m in London. If they had this place in Amsterdam, I would without a doubt be a regular.

What a great place to stop for a coffee. The staff were friendly and attentive. The place was super busy, but still places to sit. The traditional Filipino cakes were well made fresh on site. The coffee was very high quality. We wish this team much success in 2025.

I am beyond thrilled that Kapihan has opened their new location in Battersea. If you want true Filipino coffee and bakery this is the place for you. Super friendly staff, relaxing decor and atmosphere and superb coffee. A must for me are their 85% chocolate, Pandesal and their famous Bibingkas. An absolute MUST.

What a lovely cafe! The coffee was excellent, the vibes were great. Also, their bibingka (coconut rice cake) was so good that I order another one straight away! The ceiling fans felt like home ☺️

The greatest taste of Greek bakery. amazing service with a smile always in their faces. love going back for the amazing pies and brunch. if you are around don’t miss it.

An extraordinary pastry experience with delicious home-made flavours! Enjoy amazing coffee crafted by skilled baristas, including a perfect Fredo Espresso. They serve authentic Greek pies and Real Bougatsa!!

Meli Art is a hidden gem for anyone who loves authentic Greek flavors! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aroma of freshly brewed Greek coffee. Their Greek recipes are absolutely delightful—everything from the fresh pastries to the various breakfast options feels homemade and full of love. The spanakopita and bougatsa are must-tries, and their selection of traditional and modern dishes ensures there's something for everyone. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing breakfast or a coffee break. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and friendly service make Meli Art a place I can’t recommend enough. It’s a little slice of Greece right here!

Meil Art gave me a warm and cozy feeling as soon as I walked through its large doors with a red ribbon. The friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere made it a great spot to unwind. The latte was smooth and comforting, and the fresh pastry filled with cream was simply delicious. I’m looking forward to trying more of their desserts. If you’re in Clapham, it’s worth a visit!

On my way to the underground I found this amazing Greek Coffee shop. I got a yummy Vegan Spinach Pastry and decaf soya latte. Delicious!

This place is amazing! Ok so we can start with the delicious coffee and move on to delicious breakfast and delicious lunch and dinner, I mean everything tastes so good. Home made taste and fresh quality. I’ve tasted almost everything and is purely fantastic. The friendliness of the workers is great too, so warm and welcoming. In love with Creamor Cafe. You must try it yourself. Amazing job guys, keep it up.

This place is it one of the best coffee, food and sweets shop. It is a true London gem. Everything is freshly done and everything tastes so good. The staff are really friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is very positive and cozy, it almost feels like you are in the cozy shop of the sitcom FRIENDS. Every time I visit the creamery I end up spending about 2 hours in. I love going to that place it has it all savory, sweet, hot and cold. With friendly staff around. I love it!

Food was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was nice and rich without being bitter. I had the avocado and halloumi on sourdough. The egg yolks were a lovely orange colour and tasted great. The food was beautifully cooked and presented despite the poor guy being on his own having to serve and cook. Very polite too.

very quite place, but really amazing food !! so glad we stopped here. had the beniccio hollandaise breakfast and the full reyes breakfast and it was phenomenal !!

It's very cute and nice caffe to visit. Coffee was well made, and the atmosphere has a very good vibe. Very good in total.

This is the best cafe in London… hands down. The food is super tasty, the prices are good and the owner is so lovely. You will feel at home in cafe Parisienne, with so many breakfast and lunch options. I always go for a breakfast, with the full Parisienne being my favourite. Everyone must go here!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing restaurant with very cheerful Turkish people. I was looking something to eat in budget at jacket potatoes 🍲 with broast chicken 🐔 made my day. In last he gave me a Turkish sweet sweetie. I recommend it.

LOVE Cafe Parisienne, this is one of those breakfast spots where you just want to go on a rainy day, on a sunny day, on a snowy day even! The food was literally the all you could ask for from a traditional English breakfast spot comfort food, portions are great, prices are very reasonable. They also arrive within minutes of the order being taken. The owner was super friendly, genuinely kind to people. Customer service was great, I saw someone who wasn’t sure if they liked the dish and the owner immediately offered to take back the entire dish for and asked them to order anything else they like!

Absolutely delicious food, super friendly and accommodating staff. Best breakfast we have had in this area, would 100% recommend. The all American breakfast and the baklava are both a must have.

Absolute gem in the area! Great coffee, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere. Loved their chocolate banana bread, and I don’t even like banana bread to start with 😂 really highly recommended!

Baristas are pleasant. Coffee was good. Blueberry muffin was amazing with a creamy, not too sweet filling. It's small inside, but I still recommend it!

This place deserves nothing less than 5 stars! I’ve been here three times, and it just keeps getting better. The coffee is exceptional—the best in the area. The service is always friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The blueberry muffin is delicious, and the cozy seating makes it a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Highly recommend!

Nice coffee shop with food offerings and Italians products. Good coffee spot also delicious croissants with pistachio cream. Great lasagna for lunch!

We hosted a private dinner party at Caserta and we couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome. Asad, Fatima, Gianluigi and Valeria were incredible to work with and helped us plan every detail to make it a special evening for us. The space is perfect for private events. With a delicious menu they curated a from a top Mayfair Italian restaurant, the space was completely candlelit and accompanied by tunes playing from their vintage record player. It was the ideal mix of romanticism and intimacy that made it a memorable evening. We would love to work with Caserta again for our next event.

Absolutely loved my experience at Caserta Deli! The food was exceptional, especially the Casatiello Napoletano, must-try! The flavors were authentic Italian and delicious. My only suggestion would be to ensure the food is warmed a bit more for optimal enjoyment. Also, a minor observation, the staff should be more vigilant about keeping the floor clear of rubbish. On a brighter note, it’s a dog-friendly place, which is a huge plus for pet owners like me, I highly recommend this spot for a tasty and authentic Italian dining experience!

Visiting London on my way to NYC for my sons graduation and staying at Battersea Reach Apartment complex. This beautiful Deli is walking distance from the apartment and went there for my morning coffee . It was such a good experience, great coffee and delicious bakery stuff and staff is very efficient and friendly 😀.

Walked in today to grab a couple of coffees and a couple of pastries; Spread definitely didn't disappoint. The people behind the counter are lovely and both the flat whites I ordered and the pastries (cinnamon bun + pistachio doughnut) were amazing. Keep up the great work!

I had a great time there thanks to kind barista. I definitely would like to visit again to eat the best coffee and bread.

The best café this side of the river, and the other side too. The pastries were amazing, the coffee was amazing and the service was a solid 10! Had a phenomenal almond croissant and berry matcha (highly recommend!). Had to take some food home for friends, this place is a must! The guys running it were super friendly too, stay around for long enough and you might see a cute dog or two! The whole vibe is absolutely worth the walk down from Clapham Common. It has a welcoming vibe and unmatched homely aesthetic. Will be going again soon!

This is the 3rd time I’ve been here in the last month. The pastries are the best in the area. My favorites are the pain au hazelnut, simit and the Turkish pastry (typical Suboregi). It’s a lot of work to achieve those Turkish pastries in this quality so hands down, this place is good. They usually run out of some items during the day. It’s also real value for money. The owners are two great guys, Koray and Eray. You can find out more on the place and the beautiful pastries on their social media accounts.

This place is my go-to neighbourhood spot! The staff are always quick and friendly, and the coffee/pastries are delicious. My only note is they always seem to run out of croissants, no matter what time I get there. I would love to see more stocked so I could actually try one!

Flat white is average - slightly disappointed as there was not much aroma from the bean. Microfoam was amazingly done tho. Tried a bunch of the pastries - namely the ricotta cheesecake, miso cookie and cinnamon buns & the gay one sandwich which were all alright. We particularly enjoyed the naughty one sandwich!

Really great coffee, lovely staff, and nice bakes on offer. My only complaint is a lack of gluten free baked good options. But that aside, I will happily keep coming here going forward!

Tried both the peanut butter/ chocolate cookie and the cinnamon bun. Both delish and vegan. Their filter coffee and cold brew also come highly recommended. They also stock a good brand of kombucha. Lovely friendly service.
