I’ve been coming here for over a year, and absolutely love the coffee + the team! Always greeted with a smile which is a great way to start the day! They really know what they’re doing when it comes to coffee, and it shows ✨

Twinkle Twinkle little star! A what a great surprise from such a small space!!! This cozy stop-over, take away, foodie heaven place, is full of good energy, great coffee & some very fresh and tasty snacks. Full of things to buy for your house or as gift, I was really holding myself not to spend extra money for my Xmas gifts. Some great ideas there. Full of great artistic objects, nice graphics and great aesthetics. So happy to have you in the neighbourhood little star!

Quality coffee with rich notes of hazelnut. Cute little shop. Looking forward to try the pastries and food too. — Walked a little further to get here again because I am too early for training and the cafe I want to sit in is full. Still one of the best latte I’ve had in London. Intensely nutty. Perhaps I should get a loyalty card by now. Windy, but not bad to enjoy some sunshine :)

Great coffee! I was passing through the neighbourhood and stumbled upon this coffee shop. Super cool and love the interior vibe. Thanks Edward for the great service and delicious coffee. I will be back soon when I pass through Surrey Quays station.

This place is my go-to neighbourhood spot! The staff are always quick and friendly, and the coffee/pastries are delicious. My only note is they always seem to run out of croissants, no matter what time I get there. I would love to see more stocked so I could actually try one!

Really great coffee, lovely staff, and nice bakes on offer. My only complaint is a lack of gluten free baked good options. But that aside, I will happily keep coming here going forward!

Flat white is average - slightly disappointed as there was not much aroma from the bean. Microfoam was amazingly done tho. Tried a bunch of the pastries - namely the ricotta cheesecake, miso cookie and cinnamon buns & the gay one sandwich which were all alright. We particularly enjoyed the naughty one sandwich!

Tried both the peanut butter/ chocolate cookie and the cinnamon bun. Both delish and vegan. Their filter coffee and cold brew also come highly recommended. They also stock a good brand of kombucha. Lovely friendly service.

In Mayfair Italian Restaurant

193 Lower Rd, London SE16 2LW, UK

4.8 (51 reviews)

P: 020 3750 8718

My first trip to In Mayfair for lunch with a friend. The kerbside view doesn't do it justice as it looks like a cafe but inside it's more than that. It's a nicely appointed dining room that isn't fancy but is very clean and a comfortable space to relax in. My smoked salmon pasta and my friends steak and chips were both very good and the tiramisu was good too (although I like it with a bit more of a punch!). The server was super friendly and a pleasure to deal with. The chef also checked in on us as he passed. Very pleased to have visited this local gem and will be back.

Ver good Italian restaurant with a tranquil setting. The fried courgettes accompanying the Calamari were an unexpected highlight - rich and flavourful, I would return just for that!

I give ALL the Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ Who is God and His Holy Ghost 🙌🏿✝️🧎🏾‍♂️ I enjoyed the elegant, understated colours, and attention to detail (flower arrangement for every table) and neat presentation of their restaurant and food. Lovely. I feel that I really want to support little restaurants that go the extra mile… EDIT: so just had the bruschetta…do yourself a favour and order it as a starter. It is every bit as elegant as this little gem of a restaurant. I’m thankful!

Gorgeous food - brilliant little place. Food was cooked to order, quick too. Really tasty. The mushrooms went perfectly with bacon. Fried slice, sausage, eggs and toast. Perfect. Note - cash only, so please make sure you carry cash. £8 for the H’s special breakfast with tea, can’t argue with that.

Extraordinary fried breakfast. Absolutely perfect in every category. The fried slice is other worldly, an exception to conventional physics. The atmosphere is dreamy. A rare example of authenticity, both a time machine and timeless. I will be a customer for as long as the blood pudding lets me live.

Coffe and Olive is a fantastic spot with everything you’d want for a great dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. As for the food, it was fresh and delicious, with generous portion sizes that make it great value for the price. The menu has something for everyone, and every dish I tried was flavorful and well-prepared. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal with a friendly vibe!

As a Turkish Cypriot who was raised on Mediterranean dishes, I have to say, the dolma box here is amazing! Better than any other restaurant I've had it in! Fluffy rice wrapped tightly in vine leaves, dressed in pomegranate sauce, served with a very generous helping of salad and a dollop of tasty hummus. It's just beautiful. For £8.95, you will be satisfied for hours. Completely vegan too! On a sunny day, it's nice to grab this for lunch and have it on one of the benches outside. The falafel wrap here is delicious too. Try it! Very happy, enthusiastic service. An absolute pleasure

The tea here is seriously decent. It's smooth and rich, with a great aroma that lingers even after finishing. Highly recommend the warm Four Seasons tea and the iced tea from Tie Guanyin Roasted. The Jasmine Green Tea Madeleine is a must-try at least once in life. The Hazelnut Brownie tastes super fancy, like it's made with really high-quality ingredients. The big windows and wood decor create a really fancy vibe. It's great to sit in a cozy spot with the natural light and relax in the laid-back atmosphere. Both the tea and coffee are top-notch, and the prices are really reasonable. Definitely planning to come back often!

Came to this beautiful boutique coffee/tea shop on a Sunday with a couple of friends. What a lovely surprise! The coffee is delicious, and cannot recommend the mocha and black sesame cake enough. The artistic ambience is also calming and relaxing. It is a gem I selfishly want to keep it to myself. Highly recommended if you are tired of the chain coffee shops and want to try something unique.

A warm and inviting cafe, perfect for a relaxing coffee break. Their selection of carefully chosen beans and exquisite Chinese teas are top-notch. Staffs are friendly and knowledgeable to help with my order. I highly recommend their madeleines—they're soft, buttery, and absolutely delicious. My favourite was the jasmine one, must try! The banana cake with walnut is also fantastic, baked to perfection. Everything is prepared with such attention to detail and quality. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates great coffee, fine tea, and superb baked goods!

First it started with an oat caramel latte. Then I had time to scour the menu. Being a bit of a picky eater and crazy about hygiene I gave the good a miss. But since that day, they are now my go to for coffees n sweet treats, crepes n waffles eat your heart out. A one man band with loads to offer. Amazing customer services too.

Nice café close to the River. It's surrounded by just enough history to blank out the atrocious 80/90's onwards blocks of flats that ruin the Thames Path. Excellent pastries, great coffee, friendly service, we sat in the old churchyard next door and chatted away. The Watchhouse had a guard to stop resurrectionists stealing bodies for dissection at Guy's medical school. You don't get that sort of history at Starbucks!

Lovely little cafe with plenty of cakes and pastries. A few savoury options too. Coffee was nice.. we had an iced latte and an espresso. Single espresso was way too watery for my taste but the latte was quite nice. There is a nice and really quiet back garden, perfect to unwind and chill surrounded by nature.. prices are really modest and the lady at the counter was lovely too..

Arguably the best pub I’ve been to in London, one of the best quizzes as well. Foods great, lots of vegan and meat options, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Don’t think you can ask for warmer staff either!

This delightful pub is one of London’s hidden gems. Absolutely amazing food!! The ribs are huge and delicious, and the steak is thick, juicy and tender. The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful. The owner, Basia, makes you feel at home and you can see the place is run with love and care. I’d give it 6 starts if I could. I’ll be back…!
