Vibes Battersea Cafe

Very cute little cafe - great vibes ! Totally loved the Alkaline Porridge (who knew Quinoa could be cooked, blended, and then cooked again to become a delicious smooth porridge?), and the Herbal Healing Tea was delicious and nourishing. Downstairs feels chill and upstairs like a meditation room. And service was lovely - helpful, friendly and fun, thank you Devi. Recommended !!

Plant-based café really close to Battersea Park. They have a selection of vegan breakfasts from fritters, avocado toast, bowls or pancakes. Also good coffee and smoothies. Has a few tables outside and small indoor seating. Good place for a weekend breakfast.

I was not expecting it but this place blew me away. The smoothies were delicious and the full breakfast was a feast. I even went back the next day to try the fruit pancakes. When you think that all of that is even vegetarian, it's definitely a recommendation.

Great food and service. Left my phone behind, called them and they had it put aside for me if I returned. Friendly staff. Now a new regular cafe grill. 😁

Really warm, friendly, chilled, relaxing staff extremely keen to please with excellent service and cleanliness. Food was brilliant and presented amazingly - decent sized plate et al !!! Taste-wise, everything was succulent, perfectly cooked, and beautiful to eat. Tea great too!! A cheaper drink when a meal purchased would be a very good enhancement, but value-for-money excellent !! I've been searching for a fantastic cafe after my previous one closed - I've found it - see you again very soon !!!!!

Can't fault Battersea park grill cafe. They were really friend when we came in. Latte and hot milk (unusual request) arrived really quickly. Fried breakfast (has as lare brunch) was really tasty. Quality sausages, good bacon. Eggs really well poached. And sourdough toast as standard if you'd like it ... Recommended if you want a quality "fry up". I'm sure the rest of the menu is good as well, but this was our first visit...

My experience today was truly outstanding. The food was exceptional in every way, from presentation to taste. I ordered an English breakfast, and it was, without a doubt, one of the best I’ve ever had. The service was equally impressive; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure I felt welcome throughout my visit. It’s refreshing to see owners who take genuine pride in ensuring every customer is treated with equal care and attention. I was thoroughly impressed with my visit today. Any past issues I’ve encountered were more than made up for, and I left feeling thoroughly satisfied and appreciated. I can’t recommend this place enough, and I look forward to returning soon!

This is a must go to coffee shop, if you only have time for one coffee shop in London go here! I got an excellent flat white with soy milk. I love that they give you a card that tells you about the coffee they used in your drink. I also bought a bag of beans while I was here and the barista was helpful in helping me decide between the different varieties. This unique location of watchhouse is in an old watchhouse so the space is quite small making it super cozy.

Nestled in the heart of Bermondsey, The WatchHouse is an absolute gem that I return to time and time again. This coffee spot perfectly blends the charm of London’s history with a modern, welcoming atmosphere. The coffee here is exceptional—crafted with precision and passion. What truly sets The WatchHouse apart is its ambiance and the people who bring it to life. The thoughtful design, warm lighting, and cosy corners, enhanced by the warmth of a wood fire, create an ideal setting for anything, be it a quiet moment with a book, or soaking in the vibe of Bermondsey Street. The staff, much like Gian a friendly, warm, and generous soul, are consistently attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to make your experience unforgettable. For coffee lovers and seekers of a peaceful urban retreat, The WatchHouse is an unmissable destination. It’s not just a coffee spot…it’s an experience, a ritual, and a highlight of my London life.

My favourite café on Bermondsey Street. A very tiny and cozy café. Their coffee is very good and their croissants are delicious! I found them years ago (my children were quite small), but it still there and haven’t changed since then.

Amazing café with lots of coffees made out of good quality ingredients and lovely spot to hang out for a drink after work. Had a glass of good wine and a matcha latte (not together) and really enjoyed the environment and the vibe. Recommended

How can I not leave a 5 star review?! Greeted with smile at every entry the staff at Barton’s never fail to make you feel welcomed, feeling welcomed is one thing but the service they provide is incredible. There’s no better place I can think of to rewind and relax after a long day at work. People reading books , playing cards while listening to great music. I can’t think of a more tranquil place to spend my evening. While at Barton’s today I enjoyed a lovely glass of wine played a game of cards and in no time after ordering, our pizzas arrived ! which was Delicious. I could not fault it. It went down a treat. I would most certainly come to Barton’s over and over again, with no hesitation.

Such a cute little Café. It's just a short walk from Tower Bridge and the prices and people are so much lower than if you go to a Café directly in the centre there. It is self service but the very nice staff bring the items to you after you ordered. It is very cozy and sweet (they even give their plants names and Pablo was such a nice companion) and the food and drinks are amazing. Totally recommend!

Amazing specialty coffee and pastries. I highly recommend trying their croissant, which has a great milky aroma and an amazingly magical texture. You also shouldn’t miss the cinnamon bun, cardamom bun, Danish, and banana bread. Everything is freshly made in their own bakery every morning. Walk in and enjoy!

Had a lovely breakfast here, Persian omelette and brioche with bacon were absolute delicious, in a meantime we enjoyed watching the fresh pastries being baked and put on display, all fresh and stunning! They also do their own ginger shot that I found really great, better than the shots you can buy in the bottles! Really worth the money!

Probably the best cakes I've ever had in London. Obviously made with great experience and a lot of love. Hats off to the chef. We shared a carrot cake (huge, moist and amazing) and a pastry with chocolate (chewy, moist with an irresistible crunchy outer) We'll definitely be back. Thanks guys.

Absolutely outstanding! The food dishes were an explosion of flavors, perfectly cooked, and exquisitely presented—each plate a true masterpiece. The staff were beyond amazing especially Clavin—attentive, warm, and highly professional, ensuring every detail was handled with care. From the food to the service to the stunning surroundings, this is a 5-star destination that sets the standard for excellence. Can’t wait to return!

We’ve just had a fantastic experience at Feel Good Coffee! The flat white was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Special thanks to the barista who served me—his friendly demeanour truly brightened our day. Knowing that our coffees also support local young people and provides meals for those in need makes it even better. Highly recommend!

Review for Battersea Power Station. Really good coffee, we had an oat latte and flat white. The staff were so friendly, with such lovely energy. I wish I got the girls name that served me, it was a really hot day and she gave me water with ice as well. I’ll defiantly be back

Our hotel didn’t provide the best breakfast options and at the prices they wanted was simply not going to happen. The hunt was on for finding a place to have breakfast and this places was only around the corner. The reviews pulled us in and they aren’t wrong this place is really friendly and welcoming. The food options was outstanding and they do sourdough bread what more could you ask for really. All in all great place to have your brunch and relax. Thank you to the staff.

I absolutely love this cafe! The owners are incredibly friendly, and I've been a loyal customer since they were next to Barking Station. The new location is fantastic – it's a peaceful spot to catch up or to sit and work. The service is outstanding, and they offer delicious Halal hot food, with the chicken Cajun panini being my favorite. It's a gem that deserves more recognition. 100% recommended!

Laid back coffee shop, with decoration that is the opposite of minimalism! I visited on a Saturday morning, intrigued by the name of the place, and it was already buzzing! Some people were working away in their laptops and some chatting with friends. There are lots of coffee, drinks, simple pastry and breakfast options. I found a table and got my almond latte, which was frothy and good quality. Loved drinking my coffee, while people watching. Such a unique place!

Attracted by the name on Google Maps and came by to try it out - which was decent in general 👍🏻 Mocha was decent, could taste the coffee and chocolate separately though. Pain au chocolat felt cold and wasn’t as fresh as I would like, a little tougher in that sense too. Good concept and interesting merchandise (and signage’s) nonetheless 👍🏻
