“Fantastic service and a fairly good cooked English breakfast… just not sure about the seeds sprinkled on the eggs, the slight taste of vinegar in the mushrooms and the very murky coffee. I’ve definitely had worse but there’s better breakfast options in Kingston.”

“I contacted Ginger Bees to enquire about a picnic for a boat trip and they went over and above to provide not only a delicious selection of goods but also beautifully presented! We had a vegan and a dairy/wheat/egg intolerance in the group and it was no stress for Gavin, Beth and their team. Delicious and highly recommend as a compliment to your trip along the river!”

“Great coffee, such a hidden spot! I can’t believe it took me so long to find it. The coffee was so good, i had to order a 2nd one. The staff were so friendly and the vibes are cozy. Perfect for a quick brunch with a friend or getting some work done on a laptop perhaps ! Would 100% recommend over those big coffee chains Kingston has to offer”

“First stop of the day after a three hour train journey to complete the Bear Hunt Sculpture Trail (May 2024). With two bears in the bag it was time for a coffee, and that was the best coffee in forever!!! This little place was so inviting from outside and fabulous friendly inside. The staff were helpful and had a fabulous sense of humour. They proper made me smile. The surroundings were cosy and practical with a variety of seating whether alone or with a group, outdoor seating was also an option. Some people were catching up with a cuppa, some were meeting in groups, a few were content working on laptops, and some were clearly on business. Clearly everyone was welcome. With an array of sweet and savoury treats, as well as a few hot and cold meal options, along with very good beverages to choose from. I was also surprised by the very reasonably price tag. The facilities here were good and clean. They advertised boardgames being available and hosted live entertainment. I was not at all disappointed and so pleased I went in based on how inviting the café looked from outside. Such a gem. I would definitely visit here again if I was in the area! I'd walked from the train station. I did note a small amount of on street parking, possibly permitted, and some nearby bus stops.”
