I visited this coffee shop and was pleasantly surprised by the richness and flavor of the coffee. The drink was perfectly balanced, with a deep aroma and complex notes that left a lasting impression. The service was also excellent – the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere made my visit even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I think it's really cute place with not bad coffee. Also nice interior, which sometimes not easy to find in London. What can be improved? Probably it'll be good to add more different types of cakes or any other food. // I have tried lemon tart

Excellent watering hole adjacent to the Army museum and within the grounds of the Chelsea Pensioners Home Chelsea. Atmosphere unique as it’s attended by not only the public but the pensioners too!! An extensive range of savoury and sweet food to whet one’s palate washed down with an extensive choice of beverage.

We had the most delicious coffee and cake at Heidi's this morning. The lovely owner went out of his way to set up tables and a heater for us outside. The people here are so friendly and i will be returning the next time I am in chelsea. My new favourite coffee shop in London, thank you. x P.s. I recommend the banana bread it's really excellent

Atmospheric, staff welcoming, smiley and efficient, fresh pastries are amazing and salads, light lunch items just right! Such a great addition to the neighbourhood- stable yard seating will be ideal in good weather .. almost don’t want too many people to find this gem!

Loved the Zaatar & Gruyère pastry and the sticky cinnamon bun (real cream cheese frosting). So nice to have something different from the usual run of the mill. Spotlessly clean. Great coffee. Will def return.

Perfect pit stop in London! This charming coffee shop was the perfect oasis during a busy day of sightseeing in London. We popped in for a much-needed caffeine boost and were delighted by the friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed delicious cappuccinos and a delicious croissant. The coffee was expertly made and the pastries were fresh and flaky. The store itself is beautifully decorated and offers a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Highly recommended for a quick top-up during your London adventures!

After visiting the Natural History Museum, we wandered around and discovered this coffee shop tucked away on a side street. They have amazing pastries—don’t miss the Tiramisu Danish; it was different but in a pleasant way :)!

Food was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with cozy seating arrangements and soft lighting that makes you want to linger for hours. What truly made my visit stand out was the impeccable service. Aditya, our server, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. His friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the menu added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.

We came here on a Sunday. We had booked but actually it wasn’t that busy so I think walking in would have been fine. The dishes were really tasty. The only thing I would mention is that they charged me £4 for adding half an avocado to my dish! Also, what they charged us was more than what they specified in the menu. I think they’ve inflated their prices but didn’t update the menu yet.

A lovely spot for brunch. Our waiter Amir was attentive and very helpful. Advising us on what best to choose by showing us pictures of dishes on their Instagram page, which was very helpful in making our decisions. I ordered truffle mushrooms with folded eggs and my friend had the Turkish eggs. Both dishes were perfectly seasons and very tasty. We didn’t have room for the renowned pancakes but will definitely return!

Inviting spot to stop in for a coffee or meal if you are visiting the Pimlico area. Sometimes hard to flag down staff but they are very friendly and helpful. Good portions of food and a diverse menu to satisfy various brunch tastes.

We came here on a Sunday morning and, surprisingly, it wasn’t very busy at all. I tried what is probably the restaurant’s best-known dish, the matcha pancakes. The pancakes themselves were very well cooked but I didn’t taste much matcha, it was mainly a white chocolate taste. It was by no means bad, but it wasn’t what I’d had in mind when I ordered. My partner had the grilled chicken sandwich which was nice but a little dry.

Visited a while back for a weekend brunch. The ambience was great, the staff were efficient and the food was good.The menu looked fairly stand but the quality and portion size were outstanding. I had cheese & ham toasty, but the ham and cheese were top quality and the bread was toasted to perfection, my partner had a large portion of crushed avocado with toast. Would be on our list for lunch when next in the neighbourhood.

A really cute little cafe. Really nice Colombian coffee, cozy atmosphere, very relaxing vibe. Always seems to be packed, so not easy to get a table. Absolutely worth a visit.

It’s really great coffee and I am pretty picky being a home barista myself and world coffee traveler! The baked goods looked delicious, the music and atmosphere feel fun and mostly welcoming; it’s very small inside maybe seats for 8 people give or take. Outside more seating and in a charming area off main Chelsea shopping. I did find the staff to be a little dry and not super friendly, they were also very busy. I think it’s a cute cafe and I think it has excellent coffee.

Amar Cafe is a lovely specialty cafe that highlights the beautiful and diverse coffee from Colombia. This is a wonderful find and is a relaxing place to have a delicious cup of coffee while going around Chelsea. If you haven’t been here, you should definitely come and have a cuppa! A huge plus is they also have very cute coffee cups!

Tiny cute place to take a coffee. Location is perfect to visit colorful Chelsea streets. Cappuccino was really great! Cookie was kind of a mix between a dry cookie and a brownie. A must before to visit National History Museum!

I visited on a Sunday morning, and it was quite busy, however was fortunate enough to get a seat outside. Absolutely love the how this place is done, beautiful interiors and a lovely outside patio. I ordered a pour over (chose Pink Bourbon) and it was brewed to perfection at perfect temperature. Definitely visiting again.

Keep in mind , this isn't a gourmet, boutique coffee shop where you spend £5 for a small cappuccino. With that being said, assuming your expectations are in line , it's 5 stars. Good coffee, open early which for some reason, most coffee shops aren't. Nice guy serving it. I got two cappuccinos for £5 total. Highly recommend for any early starts.

Love this humble coffee shop. They offer coffee+croissant/or any pastry for less than &7. Their croissant with ham and cheese is delicious and they warm it for you. It is also convenient because it is literally few steps away from the Imperial Wharf Station. You can also eat your meal al fresco style.

I love their homemade sausage roll. The location is convenient, just in front of the Imperial Wharf train station. People can grab something to eat or drink or they can also eat there as there are some tables and chairs there. The owner is very nice and friendly.

Flat white was good, a strong flavour. They keep it small to avoid washing out the flavour with too much milk.

Have been waiting to come here for such a long time! Finally managed to and I'm only sad I didn't come sooner. Food was delicious and all served piping hot. But the server (a young blonde lady, sorry I didnt take her name) made our visit most comfortable.

Lovely, friendly service. The food itself is also really lovely. The standout for me were the yogurt pancakes. Almost like a scone on the outside, but very fluffy on the inside. I really loved their take on a simple dish, really sublime. The coffee (flat white) had great flavour, albeit I feel a little too cool in terms of temperature, but not so much that it would cause an issue.

My perfect spot for when I need a break from London rush. I love the no laptop policy - it creates a space that’s all about the coffee, the people, and your present moment. No need for anything else with such amazing team of baristas! I know, because they bear with a fussy coffee snob like me! Absolutely love it. Such a gem. If you care about getting nice quality coffee - this Hagen hits the spot.

Tiny but lovely coffee shop. Very friendly service and delicious flat white. I chose a cinnamon bun, which was honestly probably the best cinnamon bun I’ve ever had. No laptop policy inside, as there is limited space to sit, which makes the shop even nicer in my opinion.

I must at first say that this caffe is serving a very dark roast coffee but that is just simply a standard in London which I personally am not fond of though. I don’t think one can avoid it but I don’t think there’s any café in the whole city not even some other cafés in Mayfair which cost partly nearly £7 per a cup that’s produces a greater result with those dark roasted beans. The latter art has practically always been wonderful. The milk steam always perfect. The bar is very small. I personally do like it and find it cozy though it is often full generally if you are in Chelsea or even if you have to go a bit to get there and especially if you are different to me fond of that coffee roast, I can wholeheartedly recommend you going there. always been very nice. After having rats, few other comments about they’re not being a lot to eat I would like to agree as well as disagree it is indeed right that there is basically no food there they are brownies which are very nice but it’s not what you would want to eat for breakfast though the shop is called espresso bar not coffee so I do think that justifies it as it makes the full more of a bonus other than a neat because if I read espresso bar, I do notexpect to eat there

Not only does the coffee look pretty. It tastes even better. It's reassuringly expensive. And the brownies are to die for. Some people like the cinnamon swirls but they are a bit sweet for me.

My sisters and I went to this coffee shop almost every single day of our trip to London! The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the coffee and pastries are great. The barista, Lulu, started to recognize us and was so fun to talk to (and made fantastic drinks!). Truly some of the best customer service we've had!
