I recently visited River Garden Café in Greenwich and had an exceptional experience! The location right by the River Thames adds to the charm, offering beautiful views that complement the cozy, inviting atmosphere. The food was fantastic—each dish was thoughtful. The service was equally outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed passionate about ensuring every guest had a wonderful experience. Overall, River Garden Café is a true gem in Greenwich. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful riverside meal or a place to unwind with friends, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Lovely Christmas themed weekend menu. We had a late lunch here today, the butternut squash soup, baked b rie, turkey pincho skewer & bread and butter pudding were great!

I'm so glad we weren't put off by all the scaffolding put up at the moment!! The views of the river are stunning and once inside, we felt really comfortable and had an all round brilliant experience. Great choices on the menu, and for kids too. The chicken kebab and cookie dough were our favourites! It is also a take away coffee shop so lots of coming and going- not a problem for us! We finished the meal with a take out coffee and a walk along the water. Great service and great food!

We stopped by for a couple of hot drinks and were absolutely blown away by the hospitality—not just for us but for our dog as well. They provided a luxurious bed complete with a comfy pillow and a soft blanket, which our pup absolutely loved. As we were browsing the menu, we discovered they offered a dog bowl for £6! This was perfect timing since it was almost feeding time for our dog, and it meant we could relax, stay longer, and treat ourselves to some delicious food as well as drinks. It’s the little touches like these, paired with the friendliest customer service, that made our experience so special. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you!

Small coffee joint designed for grabbing coffee on the go. Not one for sitting in as it’s too small. There aren’t any toilets! Really good coffee though and will be back for more…much better than Pret. Would recommend the Oat Flat White.

They have great fresh coffee. The place is in a very central location, we took our coffee and walked to Greenwhich park.

Absolutely love this place! Oat flat whites are always creamy and smooth! Dipped into the food today with an Eggs Benedict. Simply outstanding! Did the yolk test (100% pass rate!), generous amount of ham hock, and the muffins had the perfect taste of butter to them! Huge fan! This was already a favourite, I will now make my way through the menu! Staff are always welcoming and friendly serving us really quickly even when busy!

We popped in here for a nice English breakfast as we were staying at the Premier Inn a little way down the road. We saw this place on Google Maps and with great ratings we gave it a try. It was delicious! For £11.99 each we had a big English breakfast which was delicious. Cooked perfectly and it was just the right amount too. They offer a fresh orange juice, so we had that, that was also lovely. Service was kind, cheerful and polite. Cannot fault!

I went this morning as I was really feeling a full English and oh wow, the food was really good! I was pleasantly surprised! The egg was tasty and the sausages had so much flavour, not like ones I’ve had before. Warm welcome and very friendly staff. I will definitely be going back there as that was my first time. Can’t get over the food tbh. Yummy!

A well-travelled friend told me to look for the places that worker go to eat, for good reasonably priced food. They weren’t wrong. Plenty of hi-vis here. Lots on offer, hot,cold, healthy, take away or eat in. Breakfast menu alone looked amazing but I opted for marinated chicken chips and salad. Really good portions, freshly cooked, delicious.

What a lucky find! Charming little cafe / tea room. We both had the afternoon tea which was delicious and excellent value. Everything was so fresh, sandwich, scone and cake. Will definitely go back when we’re next visiting Greenwich. the food going to other tables looked really lovely too.

We really liked having breakfast at Royal Teas. We had fruit salad, salmon and eggs, avocado toast and huevos bravos. Everything delicious, good portions, fruit was fresh and really appreciated, juices as well really fresh and made at the moment; service was quick as well. We also bought some loose leaf earl grey tea, apple and lemon, and fennel. Can't wait to taste them at home. Very appreciated from my Italian parents that came to visit, they really appreciated that everything was fresh and the place was quite and welcoming. Definitely will be back to try the cakes, they have gluten free options as well.

Sylvia and Rafi gave us such kind and attentive service here! We ordered three cream teas and thoroughly enjoyed them - everything was just perfect, from the teas to the sandwiches to the rich and buttery scones. Oh and to not even speak of the delicious cakes (coffee cake was our favorite)!! Also the onion tart was superb - so savory with perfect caramelization. I’ve had afternoon tea at more expensive places and this place stands out in my memory as one of my favorite tea experiences of all time !!

We went to this little cafe on our visit to Greenwich and found a total gem. Really cozy vibes, friendly and attentive staff. They had a lot of nice food and cakes at the counter. We tried the masala chai, which was really tasty and comforting for a cold Sunday afternoon. Totally recommended.

Stumbled upon this cute café which is hidden away on the side of Greenwich market. The cake was moist and delicious just perfect with iced caramel latte. My son broke the glass but the staff were so kind and understanding.

Definitely 5 stars. Great food, friendly efficient service, and a quiet sanctuary away from the market. We ordered 2 sandwiches; one cheese onion and salad for me, and a chicken avocado mayo one for my daughter. Delicious! And a nice cup of twinings tea. : ) And very good seeded bread. Lots on the menu - paninis jacket potatoes, salads, etc.. And if like cakes this is the place for you! All fresh and yummy, so we had a pistachio cake and a.lemon drizzle to take away. Seats inside and a few outside.

Great local restaurant. Had a coffee on a quiet Friday afternoon. Great service and friendly staff. I recommend them to set up a wifi and turn it to a cafe like on weekday lunch, it'll be a hit in the area :) coffee was such great value

Delicious food! Generous portions. Highly recommend the full English breakfast and the avocado and poached eggs on sourdough. Ordered a cappuccino but it wasn’t what you would usually expect from a coffee shop, more like a latte. Fantastic service, lady running the place on Sunday was very friendly and food came quick.

My boyfriend took me here for the first time and it will not be our last! The customer service and the food was 10/10. Such a warm and friendly atmosphere and the food was sooo delicious!!! My boyfriend had a full English and I had the breakfast wrap/burrito - honestly 10/10 can’t recommend enough :) God bless you guys! Also, it’s not too pricey at all - great value for money - for both our breakfasts and 2x teas it was about £20 altogether.

Nice spot with good breakfast, their breakfast burrito is more of a grilled sandwich stuffed contraption. But it was nice. Decent coffee and friendly family / staff, it was a nice way to start the morning. They also have siracha which helped compliment the breakfast.

My husband and I had an amazing post-Christmas brunch and received excellent customer service from Caroline and Nkem! From the moment we arrived, we were given lovely seats that allowed us to spend quality time together in comfort. The food was absolutely delicious, and we were impressed by how accommodating the staff were in allowing us to make amendments to our order so it was perfectly tailored to our preferences. All in all, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we left feeling truly satisfied and well taken care of. Thank you to the team for making it such a memorable occasion—we’ll definitely be back!

I had lunch with a friend. We had the vegan burger and vegan chocolate and caramel tart. It was delicious! The decor is lovely and the team is super friendly. Caroline greeted me at the door and checked on us (as well as other staff) during our meal. We enjoyed having a chat with her too. I would definitely recommend this place. It was raining outside and we ended up spending about 4 hours there. Great place to eat with friends.

Bill’s Greenwich is a great restaurant with fantastic service and overall good food. The decor and atmosphere match other Bill’s locations, which are second to none when it comes to chain restaurants. I quite liked how friendly and welcoming the servers were. They looked after our needs well and appropriately asked if we needed more food and checked in with how we were doing. Overall, it was very friendly and conversational, which made us feel comforted. The highlight dish, maybe, I feel is the sharing platter and the Bill’s breakfast burger. Although the buns were a bit soggy, it was great. The peach iced tea was not that good, but I found the superfood green drink to be nice and tasty. The Korean fried chips, loaded with Korean-style sauce, could have been passed on. It was nothing special, but it wasn’t bad at the same time. Overall, I’d recommend the sharing platter and breakfast burger, as well as maybe a main like the sea bass.

Brilliant little cafe. Highly recommended for breakfast. We don't quite know what witchcraft they pulled with the bacon sandwich, but there was a taste of mint infused olive oil that took this sourdough grill to another level. The coffee was good, too, and the kids loved their pastries. It's worth noting that we came back for a second visit during our trip!

The Green Café in Greenwich serves great breakfasts. We had the Avocado Smash, an open sandwich with plenty of avocado and an egg on top, and the Mediterranean breakfast, which was a real treat. It’s a super relaxed place with a great vibe and excellent service.

I visited Grind in Greenwich on a Thursday afternoon with a friend to celebrate my birthday. What started as a casual get-together over drinks quickly turned into an unforgettable evening. The chic, modern décor and cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day. We were so impressed that we decided to stay for dinner, and a few more friends joined us for the festivities. Happy hour, starting at 4 pm, was a fantastic deal, and the service was impeccable. Every staff member who served us was attentive and cheerful, but special thanks to Bright, who went above and beyond to make my birthday feel extra special. The experience was truly memorable!
