“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.”

This cafe is absolutely a gem! The coffees and the cakes are probably one of the best I have had. The cakes and pastries are so beautiful and mouth watering! It is in a great location with a great opportunity to visit the Chelsea pensioners museum. The staff is delightful as well, great relaxing atmosphere. 1000000% recommended!!

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!

Where to start. Staff are fantastic, take their time to chat and make conversation with customers. The food is always well presented, and tasty, and the general energy is very positive. Nice new little coffee spot in Chelsea!

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“It's just an impromptu decision to come here. I was waiting for my family to finish shopping in Harrods, so I decided to try this cafe. Not gonna lie, it was a great experience overall. It was busy, yet the staff managed to handle the crowd so well. The service was great, the interior design was aesthetic, the atmosphere is not too noisy, and the Oreo Cheesecake that I had tastes amazing. Every penny was well spent here. Would definitely return to try another dishes. Highly recommended!”

“tried the banana bread matcha which tasted distinctively of banana bread in the first few sips but the taste faded away. perhaps better mixed or more of the banana flavour could be incorporated in the drink”

“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.”
