We had the 'Takeaway' Christmas afternoon tea this week and were delighted with it. The pink lemonade was delicious and the sandwiches were tasty. The highlights were, the Christmas pudding truffle which was gooey and rich, and the mince pie which was the best I've ever had. The pastry was buttery, crumbly and had a hint of gingerbread. The quality was exceptional and worth every penny.

Good coffee, none of the bells and whistles! I found this place this weekend and decided to give it a try, feeling tired of the usual chains like costa and Starbucks. I've since returned a few times as they do amazing brews and amazing sweet treats, all at such low affordable prices. Keep up the good job, guys!

Probably the best High Tea in London! We had a Baby Shower here at the weekend for 22 of us and the welcome, the service and the food were exemplary. Caroline and her staff are all so helpful and the food ... was absolutely gorgeous. From the tasty finger sandwiches to the dainty cakes and don't even start me on the scones with cream and jam! What a wonderful experience and highly recommended. You won't be disappointed for either a quiet afternoon tea for two or a bustling party for a baby's imminent arrival.

I was looking for a place to catch-up with a friend and stumbled across this café. The online reviews looked amazing and the photos did justice to the reviews. On arrival to the cafe, I was really impressed with the look and ambience. Really beautiful decor. The menu looked really exciting!! I was looking for a venue that offered high tea early in the morning. I ordered the omelette souffle and my friend ordered the posh egg and chips, we had a high tea to share, the Russian Earl Grey Tea. The food and tea was outstanding. The scones were too good that we had to order one more each. Definitely will be going back, access to think there is something so beautiful at my doorstep, not to far from the Dollis Valley Green Walk. A lovely morning catching up.

Lovely place for brunch, cake and tea. Service was quick, whilst the staff were super friendly. 'Cook book' menus was one of a range of nice little touches that added to the environment.

I have been a couple of times to this place for brunch and tea. The tea and freshly made cakes are really good and the general atmosphere of the place and decor make it very pleasant, although it can get very busy sometimes.

Best Nutella milkshake ever so far! I really enjoyed this place. Venue is gorgeous and menu comes inside old books - so pretty! I ordered a breakfast stack which was a poached egg on top of halloumi chorizo and portobello mushroom. It was absolutely tasty the only flaw was the poached egg was overcooked and it would have been amazing if the egg was runny. My boyfriend ordered posh Egg and chips which came with sauteed potatoes, chorizo and eggs on top. And it was very filling. I liked the furniture. I loved the Alice in wonderland chairs where we were sitting and dinnerware was adorable. Definitely will go back, specially for the milkshake!!!
