If there’s ever a coffee shop that I wished to be just around the corner from where I live, Liten would be the one. What this establishment offers is more than just the perfect drink, it is also their passion about what they do and how they do it. Whether it is coffee, tea or specialty drinks, they are always prepared to perfection, and most definitely with a touch of smile and a bit of a good conversation if you so desire. The coffee here is just the best in the area, unbeatable. Let alone their specialty drinks, my personal favourite being chai latte and matcha. You can literally taste the difference because they procure real chai, ceremonial grade matcha and prepare your tea with a bamboo whisk! For coffee lovers, some days you walk into this modest little in shop to find guest baristas as a surprise! The patisseries they source from local bakeries are also really amazing, on certain days if you’re lucky you may also come by their really sought after seasonal danish that are always sold out early. The first time I visited, I witnessed a regular gifting Liten a custom made Lego built just like the shop, and I always see familiar faces whenever I go. So I think it is fair to say Liten is somewhere special to at least me and some other regulars, magical even if I may exaggerate a bit. It will always have a place in my heart. It is the perfect place on a good day or even a bad day, it will always bring something to lighten you up. Come experience the magic yourself!

Fantastic coffee shop. The coffee is really exceptional and the people are friendly - it feels like a real community hub 🥰. There are a few bits and pieces in the shop from coffee beans to cordials to chilli oils - all of which are very tempting and special. The granola is delicious when it’s in stock.

True to its name, Liten Coffee is a tiny, but lovely coffee shop in NW6 👍☕️ (“liten” means “small” in Swedish 🇸🇪). I very much enjoyed my flat white by the window 🤩 and had an interesting little chat with the friendly staff. The small Lego model of the coffee shop on the counter 🧱 immediately caught my attention 👷 and I was very happy to see that they also sell excellent Land Chocolate bars 🍫. I can’t quite believe how I only now discovered this great coffee shop. Will definitely be back soon. 🙂

Lovely little ‘hole in the wall’ coffee place serving great coffee. The offer very limited pastries & biscuits selection as well as a small variety of speciality coffees to take home. Great place to grab & go a cup of coffee

I recently visited Student Cafe in Cricklewood, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was absolutely amazing, with every dish prepared to perfection. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack or a full meal, the quality and flavor of the food here won’t disappoint. A special shout-out to Azeem, the owner, who was incredibly kind and professional. He made sure our experience was top-notch, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect.

We had the Full English Breakfast and it was delicious, comes with a drink & everything you could want in a fry up. There were plenty of healthy options too, aswell as gelatos and tasty looking treats if you're just after a coffee and cake. The atmosphere was relaxing and chilled right down to the music choice and staff were friendly and helpful, will definitely be back!

The Sipping Bear is a lovely cafe with nice, clean interiors as well as great coffee and good food. All the food is halal and they do breakfast all day, so we ordered the full English breakfast. Not only was it delicious with so many options on the plate, it was at a very good and affordable price of £10! I will definitely be returning here for more food and to try their desserts. The owner who served us was very nice and polite. You have to check this place out when you’re in Willesden.

Zombie Games Cafe & Bar

Cosy vibes and a wonderful manager! There are different options for food and drinks to have alongside the many games they have available - both console and board games! Great place to just chill out and feel nostalgic with friends. I always come back, and when I do I love bringing more people. I even had my birthday here as there is a downstairs space that can be booked! Definitely a hidden gem in Northwest London.

We hired the basement area for a party and thought it was great - as multiple consoles available to use, mix of seating options, nice drink and food selection, and the owner was super responsive and flexible throughout the booking process. The only consideration is the ceiling is a bit low downstairs.

A wonderful independant coffee shop. The oat flat white here is brilliant (genuinely one of the best I have had), and so reasonably priced at £2.90. Really cool shop with a great coffee selection & some nice coffee produce on offer (including some really cool mugs / cups made by local artists). Will be a regular once my work moves nearby shortly.

Finally got around to trying out this new local cafe and I have to say I'm super impressed. Really happy to have such good matcha, so nearby. Not many places do a decent matcha. They also use the estate dairy milk so a plus. The parents were also very impressed with the coffee, which is high praise. Croissant was lovely and soft, yet flakey on the outside. Quite big so good value for money and a bonus is they do 50% off pastry after 3. Staff were really lovely and the space feels lovely and light. love the addition of all the plants for sale. Will be my new local spot.

Best coffee in Queens Park! Can’t recommend enough coming here for always a delicious full body coffee and a warm friendly welcome from all the staff who work there. We have been regulars since they opened and it’s our only local we go to. We don’t even need to say our coffee order as they know us too well, makes you feel special😃 Always a positive atmosphere, consistent with their coffee quality and everyone working there is such a pleasure to chat to. Large space to work on your laptop and the staff LOVE all animal customers in their shop.

We finally found delicious authentic Tunisian food restaurant in London 🥳 ! I recommend Brika and Mechouia salad and Kafteji as side dishes and Couscous with meat, Lablebi as main dishes 🤩

The restaurant does not appear to be wheelchair accessible unless they have a separate ramp as there is a step not a slope at the entrance. There are further steps between an entrance hall and the bar area /restaurant. The place appears clean and fairly tidy, some piles of cushions and slight mess by the bar. The opening hours are Monday to Sunday 10 am to 11 pm. They sell food, a menu with main courses around £12 and starter or soup around £6. They don't take credit card, they have a sign saying cash only. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant area seems spacious. I have attached menu photos.

A hidden gem. The girls are very welcoming and very friendly. The food is a great portion and a very tasty selection of interesting salads, and tasty chicken. Some falafel and spinach pies too which look fantastic too. Coffee is also large, tasty and well made. A very pleasant lunch atmosphere 5/5.

A true hidden gem! Absolutely fantastic quality food, generous quantity and very reasonable prices. For the quality of food served here you’re likely to pay an arm and a leg elsewhere in London. The shop is slightly hidden away so it’s hard to notice, but is practically opposite Willesden Green underground station.

Nestled beside a laundromat we found Qahwah Club, and honestly it's become one of our favourite places to go for coffee round Cricklewood/Golders Green - the coffee is fantastic and the service is impeccable - honestly very surprised that it doesn't appear on more lists! London Fog is great as a coffee alternative and the cold brew is a must have!

Such a lovely vibe, I ordered a tuna sandwich and fresh orange juice and was sooo surprised at how large the portion sizes were and the fresh orange juice really hit the spot! The food was delicious but what I loved the most was how homey the cafe was! Everyone was so lovely, even other customers that were in the cafe were happy and welcoming, it’s very obvious that the owners and staff have a strong connection to their community! The service was so fast, the food portion sizes were amazing and the price was great! Normally I have to pay double the price for half the sandwich from other cafes. Thank you for this amazing service!
