I was walking in Kingston and saw this really cute cafe it reminded me of Paris. We walked in and…read moreyou could just smell the fresh baguettes. We were so excited everything looked so nice. All the pastries were lined up and they even had ready made sandwiches that looked delicious. We ordered tea and two food items because we were starving. We got the apricot tart it was literally amazing and a mozzarella sandwich. We really enjoyed the place.

I was really looking forward to having a light lunch at Paul with my husband as I have always loved…read morethe food and drink selection from Paul. On first impression as very disappointed with the cleanliness and hygiene of the place. Opening the door the handle was very sticky. Being disabled I had my wheelchair. The space was very tight and no offer of assistance to find a table, there were a couple of customers but the staff decided to huddle for a conversation while I struggled to stand and order. There was limited choice of food compared to other locations. The tables were also sticky and not wiped down. I asked to use the toilet to wash my hands and the soap dispenser did not work which seems to be ongoing as someone has written a note to the staff on the hand dryer, the floor was soaked. The customer seating area and floors were disgusting. Not one table was cleaned or wiped down while we were there over 40 minutes. I enjoyed the mocha but my husband choose not to eat and just have a coffee. The croque Monsieur was dry and we not up to the usual quality or standard. I will not be coming back to this Paul again. The standards and quality have dropped, I hope it is not the same for other Paul locations.

This is a great little French Cafe located in the heart of Kingston upon Thames. My wife, Dad, and…read moreI visited here while on vacation in London. It was raining outside so we decided to come here to get out of the rain. During our visit we did not try the pastries or cakes, but I can say that the drinks were delicious. I ordered the cappuccino which was good. Overall the experience at this cafe was pleasant.

We actually went to the Valerie at Sutton high Street but I could not find it on Qype so decided to…read morepost in here anyway. It was the best experience ever!!!

We decided to try a new place for coffee in Kingston and went to this cupcake shop, despite my…read moreother half hatred of the so-fashionable-but-very-often-tasteless-cupcakes. We ordered 2 pieces of cakes and coffees. When the waitress came with an espresso and a capuccino she asked us to tell her if the coffees were too strong or not enough as she could do them again to our liking... Now, I don't know about you, but it's the first time that I have been told that and I think it's great: the way I like my coffee might be different than yours and to give the customer an option to change their drinks is very good. The coffee was delicious, my espresso was very smooth, not burnt, not acidic, just lovely as I like it. The cakes (victoria sponge and coffee/walnut) were nice and both my other half and I left happy after a nice chat with the waitress and the lebanese owner who takes great pride in the quality of his coffee. We will be back!

There's almost always a queue to be found at this counter, close to a busy entrance of the bustling…read moreBentall Centre. A comprehensive selection of cookie flavours are available individually (50p per item) by weight, in mini sizes or by the half-dozen. They also personalise large, boxed celebration 'monster' iced variants, if you want a sweet-toothed present. This outlet also offers hot drinks, shakes and around a dozen (or more) flavours of (pricey) Baskin Robbins ice-creams, sherbets and frozen yogurts. It's fun to test-out their seasonal (monthly) themed specials - I like their inventive sorbets, although confess I'd prefer it if they would cut-back on the sugar and colouring levels. Avoid school-out times if you're impatient or can't cope with crowds.
