Great food, amazing service! This is the second Watchhouse cafe I've been to in the last 3 weeks and I've had great experience both times. The staff is very friendly and very prompt. The brunch options are good and they are flexible if changes are required (eg. Scrambled eggs instead of poached eggs). Would recommend trying it.

I visited WatchHouse in Hampstead Heath twice. During my first visit, I ordered an iced mocha which, unfortunately, was terrible. However, when I informed the barista, they kindly made me a new drink—a regular iced latte with honey. The barista, who I believe was the manager with long hair, was extremely lovely, and I was very pleased with the service. He explained that an iced mocha isn’t something they usually make. I was very happy with my iced coffee with honey. I also tried the pistachio croissant, which was pretty basic and tasted similar to the one at Blank Street, though Blank Street might be slightly better. On my second visit, I ordered a cardamom bun, which was really interesting and nice. I’m eager to try the cinnamon bun next time. In terms of atmosphere, it’s extremely lovely—a great place to sit down and catch up with a friend. However, the WatchHouse in Hampstead Heath doesn’t have enough space if you plan to work on a laptop. Many tables were occupied, some by people with laptops, but it was just too busy for studying or working. If you want to work on a laptop, I would recommend finding a quieter spot.

WatchHouse is one of my top favourite cafes up there for its beautiful interior and ambient atmosphere. After visiting their Somerset branch and walking past the Hampstead branch whilst it was still under construction, I was very ecstatic for it to have expanded to the NW region of London and I knew I had to give it a go once I was in Hampstead again. I ordered a simple avocado toast with salmon and poached egg. It was delicious and light. Their seasonal coffee was decent when I tried it on another occasion. Their pastry selection is an eye catcher so I want to try this next time. But other than that, an overall pleasurable experience here The interior is heavenly beautiful at this branch. Service is efficient and staff are warm and welcoming.

I keep coming back to this place, and it never disappoints. The poached eggs on toast are amazing—always perfectly cooked with golden yolks. The staff are fantastic, doing everything they can to seat you quickly and make sure you’re taken care of. The coffee is always spot on. The vibe here is one of my favorite things—it’s lively and bustling, but never so loud that it’s overwhelming. It’s just a great place all around!

I have been to many WatchHouses but this was my first time at Hampstead Heath and it was such a pleasant experience! I came with my family who are visiting from Australia and were welcomed and served so wonderfully by both the FOH staff and baristas. I had the chicken club & a flat white, we all had some coffee & walnut financiers and pour over coffee. It was as all very delicious! Thanks for a great experience guys!
