My housemate used to work…read morein a independent coffee shop, they kind of convinced me that shit bucks and cost a lot coffee is pretty rubbish! This is a good independent coffee shop, I've been here a few times but they seem of have changed the beans which I feel has improved the quality by far!!!! The service is speedy, staff are friendly, it's one of the better independent coffee shops in the area! Downside, it's quite cramped if it's super busy. But I kind of like that in some way!

Just how good can an English breakfast get?…read more Pink's has been around Kingston for a long time now and with good reason due to its legendary £4 full English breakfast complete with tea and sliced buttery toast that isn't your ordinary economy selection from Tescos. For this amazing price, you get baked beans, 2 premium sausages, 2 top-range rashers and a choice of fried or eggs - I recommend getting the scrambled eggs which are lightly cooked in a fluffy way to ensure absolute no unnecessary oils. While there's nothing novel or particularly special about an English breakfast, one at Pinks leaves you feeling not so guilty because it appears to be more healthily cooked in comparison to your average out of the mill cafe. For £4, you really can't go wrong. This cafe is quite small so make sure your party is kept to a minimum of four persons. From memory, this cafe has no more than 25 seats.

I was visiting London, and I decided to have Afternoon Tea with my brother. We searched through…read moreGroupon, and we found Hawkers Bar Brasserie. It was the most inexpensive Afternoon Tea, and it was also in Kingston. I really enjoyed this place because of the service and atmosphere. We were greeted as soon as we walked into the restaurant. I had an appointment at 1pm, and they had my table ready. After we sat down, we were asked to select our teas. I selected the Passion one because it had the best aroma. It ended up being refreshing. I was surprised that it was actual tea leaves because I was expecting regular teabags. The teas tasted phenomenal, and all the desserts and treats were superb. The restaurant is relatively new, and there is a Hilton next door. I loved all the treats. The servers kept checking on us, and saying hello to us. I truly enjoyed my experience. Both of the servers were excellent. Please keep up the good work with excellent customer service, and I plan on coming here in the future again. I wish I had brought more pounds to give Julia a tip! She was excellent. I loved her spirit! Also, the bathroom is amazing. The place had excellent decor. Please maintain all the great qualities about this place such as the food, service, and the decor.

We had an afternoon tea booked with a Groupon deal at 12.30 - I think our food FINALLY arrived…read morearound 1.20 ! That's a long time to be waiting on a few sandwiches and premade cakes ! The sandwiches were not very inspiring or dainty and the cream was not clotted ! The staff were apologetic for the delay as they said all the kitchen staff were new ! If we had known how long it was going to take, we could have done some shopping ! The vibe is 1970s style with furnishings and background music from that decade - so I hope you like Starsky and Hutch !!

Visited a few times over Christmas and now today for breakfast, light lunch or takeaway baguettes…read more Service is good, coffee is excellent and the vegetarian breakfast delicious. The room is light and airy with fun decor and the tables get filled quickly at lunchtime though we've so far always managed to find a space to sit. Really great addition to the neighbourhood.

The best things about this place are 1) the kind staff, and 2) the high quality toilet paper…read more This place is a culinary train wreck. Ribs: inedible. Burger: worst I've ever had across 3 continents. Sauces: gross. Over-cluttered chaotic decor is like if TGIFridays had a baby with the character of Trader Joe, then wrapped it in Antiques Roadshow. Bill's managed to be both under- and overwhelming, at once. We weren't going to even say anything about how bad the food was and just wanted to get out of there, but our server noticed the uneaten ribs and insisted on taking them off the bill for us, which was very sweet and we really appreciated that. Avoid this place.

I used to be a fond visitor to this establishment, and recommended to all my friends and visitors…read moreto visit. However, this has changed. Not only did I find out the cakes are kept for longer than what most would deem acceptable, they also went to charge me £4.10p for 2 slices of untoasted bread and butter... the bowl of chips I had with it were a lower price at £3.50. When we complained they said it had something to do with the 3 tiny portion packets of butter they gave me.. they gave me, not my request. I suggest avoiding this cafe if you are struggling with finances, or just want acceptable portion prices. They don't like complaints and don't know how to handle them to frequent visitor's. The cakes look great and cooked on the premises, where they ar ekept for far longer than legally required, then microwaved and given to you more dry with green mould. Will never go back fot tm own health...and wallet

You know, it's not exclusive to Susan Boyle to stand up in front of hundreds of people and sing " I…read moreDreamed a Dream". I might not have the same live audience, but I have hundreds of fellow yelpers to sing the song to, specifically in this review. My dream, regarding food, was to someday find the perfect service. I finally found it here, at Dinners Delight. I have dined in many, many places. I have had great service as well. But it has never been as kind, warm and sincere (please, emphasize that last word) as I the one we got from the owners of this little neighborhood establishment. This made my heart glow, as my family wanted us to have a great English Breakfast experience. It was superb, simple and unforgettable. We were there with a baby, and despite the fuzz the little ones make some times, they were patient and lovely to my nephew. My munchkin was delighted, had a great time, and his own plate of eggs and toast. It was heart-warming, comfort food at its best. We started with an order of Hellumi Cheese, which was nicely grilled and deliciously chewy to our palates. Coffee was excellent, too. Not too bold, not too bitter. Just what we wanted (and needed). The food was the typical artery clogging fare, nicely done and presented with love. I had an "Early Start" combo that came with scrambled eggs, English bacon, grilled tomatoes, hash brown and the loveliest "good morning" wishes I've ever got in a restaurant. Everything was good, hot and hearty. The man was happy with his own dish, too (pretty similar to mine, but he skipped the beans, which was a good decision). We will be back for sure. The people that run this restaurant look genuinely grateful for their patrons business, and really value their customers by making them feel at home. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to keep ordering coffee and chatting with them. Many fellow customers seemed to be as happy as we all were. We will be back when visiting London. I can't wait to stop by, eat good food and see them again! Thank you, Dinners Delight, for letting our dreams come true!

The place is warm and nicely located on the water. I say warm because they had a heater going right…read moreabove the door as we walked in from the cold, wet, evening. The host greeted up and asked if we had reservations on that fine Saturday evening; we did not. He found us a table anyway but told us that he needed it back in 2 hours (no problem). Our server came along and took our drink orders fairly quickly. She was attentive, but not overly, for the rest of the evening. Our food was good. The kids pasta dish was pretty bland, but that was probably on purpose. My goat cheese salad was very good. So was the chicken and walnut salad my friend had. I think that the only complaint was from my husband who thought his baked crepe with mushrooms was a bit too greasy. His French Onion soup was excellent though. The presentation of the food was great. I have added some pics.

I dislike this place for poor service, misleading menu depictions, and overall not that tasty food…read more No one was even slightly warm or welcoming when we entered the restaurant. It was not busy and people working their were avoiding eye contact with us while waiting at the door and wasn't even given a hello just a hère pointing to the closest table. The menu has " Specials " which are printed in a misleading way on the menu and made the lunch much more expensive then expected. Which also the servers were extremely uncouth about explaining. The béarnaise sauce was so sweet it tasted more like cake frosting. This meal was almost double the price I expected with poor service and not even good food. I would strongly recommend you go anywhere around. We made the mistake for you.
