Fantastic value cafe in Swiss Cottage sports centre. Light and airy, with a fun view over the pool and vistas of cherry blossom in the spring through the huge windows. Oh - almost forgot to mention the great food, huge portions and lovely friendly staff.

My son plays football for Regent’s Park across the road, so every Tuesday I come to this cafe to grab a matcha and read my book, or grab dinner when I can’t be bothered to cook. The prices are great, and my extremely picky son LOVES everything on the kids’ menu, especially the strawberry milkshake! The owners and staff are always so lovely and approachable. Once I forgot to say that I can’t have dairy milk when ordering my drink and the lovely guy behind the till (wish I knew his name!) remade me a new drink with no fuss. This cafe is honestly such a family friendly cafe and they serve a variety of delicious breakfasts with a view of the pool and a soft play for the kids which is a bonus! Oh and the chocolate brownies are SO good!!

Feels trendy yet approachable, with a mix of different seating areas. It’s a great place to hang out with friends or just enjoy some ‘me’ time. Prices are affordable and customers service is absolutely fantastic! Will definitely go back, this place became my favourite spot!

Stumbled across this cafe today when I was out with my kiddos and it was amazing! Lovely friendly staff, Mathilda was so helpful to our needs and nothing was too much trouble. Food was really fresh, and salad selection was absolutely stunning. My daughter really enjoyed her pasta. We will most definitely be back!

Well what can I say first about this wonderful cafe , I love the staff especially Amelia and Matilda they are always so welcoming and friendly, remembers what drink u like and how you like your coffee, super selection of cakes and quick bites to eat, I pop in at least twice a week , to have a catch up with my sister. They have to deal with difficult customers who don’t appreciate the job these ladies do. They go above and beyond for you ,to make you a yummy bite and a drink . Love this place!
