As tourists staying in Colliers Wood, we felt very welcome here, and will definitely be back several times before we have to leave London.

Seriously one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! And not just in London. Came in with no real…read moreexpectations and ended up talking about how great this place was hours later in the day. Came on a recommendation from a friend of a friend for the next time I visited London. Luckily it a short walk from a tube station and even though it seems like a lot of stops from zone 1 & 2, it took less than 20 minutes from Central London. My friend and I lucked out as we arrived right before a rush, but as we started our meal we could see why people were queuing up outside and waiting for who knows how long. I don't know if I have the words to describe my experience as everything on the menu looked good and from a slightly picky eater like me, that's saying something. I just hope the rarity I hand out 5 stars will say more than my stunted vocabulary can The food was great! The hot drinks were great! The smoothies were great! Definitely going to try and make my way back to this place my next trip to London.

Anyway, I come in here for a coffee, but yeah, it really was pretty slow. Sure, maybe I'm one of those people that would prefer not to hang around for too long, or I'm just impatient.

This branch is one of the smaller Gail's you can find and it does get cramped with the entrance/exit door system, which can lead you to queuing outside. However this is just a constraint of the building itself, the service is great, consistent and employees are speedy getting through the queue. Be sure to get there as early as possible to ensure you get what you want before they run out!

Sometimes Federer wins, some other times Murray does. Either way, people love the sport. What this area isn't famous for is good coffee. I guess tennis and coffee are not best friends. But.. Saucer & Cup changes all that. A cozy cafe, where today I had a perfectly smooth flat white. Also the orange and almond cake made this Sunday a better day. I sat on a small bench on the sidewalk and watched people go by. Just like a tennis match. I didn't see Murray, though.

Their lattes are awesome, and are especially popular during the muggy London summer. This store is centrally located about a one minute walk from Earlsfield station, and I have always received brisk service with smile. Most branches of Caffe Nero offer a loyalty card, so make sure you grab one from the very first time you buy there. You'll be surprised how fast it adds up while drinking coffee on the move during your typical London morning and a free coffee now and then is always welcome. And you have to try one of their huge chocolate chip biscuits with a coffee.

Rules to giving excellent customer service 2012 edition…read more - When a customer enters your establishment, greet them but give them space to choose what they want. - Stop what you are doing and make eye contact. Or, at least, acknowledge that 'your hands are full' but you'll be with them shortly. - If a customer asks for something not on the menu, say a decaf mocha and you're asked if its possible to make one. Even if the answer is obvious to you (the member of staff), do not pull your face or have a 'are you stupid' tone in your voice. - If a customer hands you cash do not place their change on the counter (unless they are busy), hand it to them as it was handed to you. Bad customer service is in my opinion, a deal breaker. It is simply, it is easy, so do it!
