I've been to this place several times before the pandemic. The food selection was way much better, especially the breakfast/brunch food. The service was much better too. The staff was nice, but the way the cafe operates now is not as good as it used to be. The best thing about this place is the ambiance. It is absolutely amazing! I think the owners can make a better job at making this place as good as it was, or even better. read more

It's been ages since I stopped over for more than just plants at Clifton Nurseries, but The Quince Tree makes the trip worthwhile in its own right. I came here for to catch up over lunch with a friend who lives locally. Jealous already!! It's a tough decision not to opt for Eggs Benedict - they were coming out of the kitchen in their dozens and looked amazing - but I decided to go with the veggie option of a Californian which includes hummous, guacamole, mushrooms, tomato and poached egg all in one. Yum!! The portion was just the right size to justify a trip to the cake counter for afters ... The menu also includes proper main courses and salads, the perfect mix really. Not exactly bargain prices, but some places are best kept for a special occasion or treat. read more

The Quince Tree Café is set in Maida Vale's Clifton Nurseries, which is said to be the oldest garden centre in London. I don't know when The Quince Tree Café took up residence here, but the sport was the former home of a Daylesford outlet. The nursery surrounding of the café lend to a tranquil environment. It is easy to forget that you are in the heart of Maida Vale. When the sun is out, it would be harder to find a nicer sport in West London to enjoy a brunch. They also serve breakfast, lunch and offer an afternoon tea option. I tend to just come here to enjoy a slow Latte and take in atmosphere. It is also a popular meeting point for mothers in the area. There are plenty of high chairs and they also offer a children's menu. If you're looking for a fast service, this is not the place for you. The slow service though added to this places charm for me, as it felt as though I was enjoying a short spell in the countryside, where time is less important. The Quince Tree café also cater for private parties and wedding receptions. If you're in the area, it is well worth a visit. read more

The Quince Tree - Great place for coffee when the weather is nice. - Cafes Near Me - London, XGL

We wanted to visit the nurseries and read a lot a nice comments about this café. We took the focaccia with sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, figs and Parma ham and it was really good ! Tasty, fresh, perfect ! They also offer juices and a lot of hot drinks (they also have almond milk and soy milk). The place is really cute and lovely, full of light. You can see all the plants from your seat, it's perfect in spring or summer, so colourful. The staff was nice but also quite busy but it's worth it ! read more

Love the atmosphere! Beautiful place to have breakfast at. We ordered the pancake with smoked salmon and the other dish was a Benedict dish. I have to say it looked much better than what it tasted. Both dishes had too many tastes mixed that in my opinion didn't go together. Both dishes had sweet sauce which didn't go with egg, mushrooms or smoked salmon. But I love to visit to try other dishes. Their fresh juices and their coffee were amazing read more

It was really nice to have breakfast in a garden nursery setting. It was very close to our Airbnb in Little Venice. With the morning sun shining through the glass roof, sipping an Americano made just right for me and munching an egg benedict were my most relaxing time in London. Great coffee and nice breakfasts at reasonable price. A must if you stay in the area. read more

The Quince Tree - Egg Benedict with Hollandaise sauce and English style beacons. - Cafes Near Me - London, XGL

Such a beautiful place to come and have breakfast or some other delicious things from their menu. It looks like a green house and it has a glass roof, that allows all the natural light to join in for your breakfast. I can imagine how it will be in the summer! I tried one of the sandwiches and the egg royal, both enough and pretty good. Their coffee it's not the best, remember to ask for a single shot esspresso if you're like me and you don't want strong coffee by default. But in matters of sweets, try their amazing lemon tart! Mmmmm. The staff is friendly and really on their mission for you to like it there. A bottle of Tap water on the house. It's a wonderful place, in a very nice pretty area of London. They also have a nursery for plants in the same location. Loved it so much that I went twice in my 5 days in London. read more

Incredible food! Including vegan, organic and healthy meals. The ambiance is great, it feels like you're in Alice in Wonderland! I had the vegan scramble, and it was unlike anything I had tasted before. Everyone I was eating with loved the foods and the coffees and teas were great too. Highly recommend! read more

Overall, The Quince Tree is definitely one of the better cafes in the area, not least because of the great Allpress coffee they use to pull their shots. The Quince Tree at Clifton Nurseries is a great cafe located inside a green house in the middle of a garden centre. With a glass roof, The Quince Tree is light even on a cloudy day, and I was lucky enough to catch a few sunbeams during my visit on a cold day. I went there for brunch and started my day with their delicious scrambled eggs on toast with an off-menu addition of bacon. For their coffee, The Quince Tree uses excellent Allpress beans - that alone should be a good reason to go there. After looking at their sweet offerings, I could not leave without a dessert, so I tried their Trio, an overly rich chocolatey pleasure. This all sounds fine, but as you might expect in this neighbourhood, it comes at a certain price. In summary, The Quince Tree is a great upmarket coffee shop that is undoubtedly worth a visit - who does not like a little bit of light and sun on a cold day? Will have to see, how this place will turn out on a hot and sunny day in summer. read more

The detox smoothie is awesome. And the special fried avocado was fantastic with the sweet chili dipping sauce. Service is great and you cant beat the venue. read more

This cafe is located in the middle of the nurseries which gives you very calm and peaceful ambience as you walk into the nursery. It is very easy to locate as you walk out Warwick Avenue station , you will reach there within 3 minutes walk. Staff were friendly and food was delicious with a decent price. I definitely recommend brunch here. They have selection of mouth watering desserts as well of which I plan to return one day. They have free wifi which was ideal for student like me who likes to go out spend a day in a cafe studying :) I will definitely go back! read more

It would be hard to beat the setting for brunch. The cafe is tucked in the back of a plant nursery, with most of the seating outside under a glass roof. There are lovely plants everywhere; it feels like a secret garden. It rained very hard while we had brunch but we were undisturbed. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was ridiculously good, just what you want. My GF had eggs royals and was very happy with it. The mochas were also excellent. The only complaint, and it put the review down from 5 stars, is that the coffees came after out food and took a while. Also, the bill was very late in coming which is a pet peeve of mine. However it did give me time to write this review! read more

Nestled in the city of Westminster near Little Venice, this cafe is tucked inside the Clifton Nursery by the historic Villas. This area is lovely and beautiful. The cafe is a gem with great breakfast items. A mist if you're in the area. read more

What a treasure! Mostly locals, but our London Walks tour guide pointed it out after a tour of Little Venice. Set amidst elegant houses in a posh neighborhood is a magnificent plant nursery with a very good cafe/bistro restaurant. I had an asparagus, mint, and pea shoots risotto that was perfect for a day in late May, plus a Pimm's Cup with fully ripe little strawberries--the kind you rarely anymore in the US. read more

My favorite place for breakfast and garden shopping. The cafe is set inside the Clifton nursery, which already creates very special atmosphere. Surrounded with thousands of picturesque blossoming flowers, Acers, decorative trees and other house plants, this is one of the most unique places in Central London. And the breakfast here is wonderful, extremely fresh and tasty. read more

Nice setting, okay service, fair pricing but small portion. Won't be back.

Gorgeous greenhouse and garden restaurant. Delicious coffee, juices and food (I've only been for breakfast) and wonderful pastries. It can get quite warm in the greenhouse so dress in layers and seating is garden and lawn type furniture (iron and wood) so not the most comfy but the atmosphere, people And food make up for this. read more

Very peaceful and quiet, not very far from Little Venice. The staff there is friendly. Good service and the brunch dishes we tried were very good indeed. I liked the decor and the fact that the place has a lot of light and all the plants at Clifton Nurseries make it look very summery and unique. It felt like we left the buzz of London for a while and gone to the countryside. read more
