They have recently renovated the old building as part of a larger renovation that's going on in the park. A nice building with a wood burning pizza oven and outdoors and indoors seating areas. However the food is worse than terrible: the Pulled Chicken Cob was disgusting. Old lettuce and tomatoes, completely tasteless mush that was some kind of dressing, "grilled chicken" (ie boiled with grill marks) and cold bacon on top. The pizza is probably somewhat decent but salty and the service is a usual Benugo style service which is bad, not caring, unhelpful and entitled and that's bad even with UK restaurant service standards. Overall, I probably give this place a 1 star just because it's a nice place to drink a pint if the sun is out and if you can get over the jaded waitresses.

It's a nice place to sit down with your laptop, sip a cup of proper coffee, talk to your friends in a nice, friendly atmosphere.

One can't help but to find their muse whilst enjoying a cup of coffee or tea. I had the vegan granola w/coconut yogurt and it was absolutely divine. It looks simple but packs a mouthful of naturally sweet bliss in every bit. Since I had a late night, it was the perfect way to really eat up and prepare for my day. I'm glad I got to come out to Chiswick and take notice of the area and stumble up Rhythm and Brews. It's no wonder why the establishment fills up quickly with regulars and first-timers, such as myself. If I lived in London, this would certainly be a spot that I frequent, no matter what area I lived in. It's that worth it. Go check it out yourself and let me know what you think.

It is a fully accredited training centre and provides training in basic skills, catering, stores and warehousing, horticulture and information technology. It runs a community café called Café Eat, which earns money through external catering. Don't be put off by the fact that this centre enables disabled people to get into the workplace! It's unfortunate that the cafe is hidden in Acton but, if you're in the area and looking for a coffee or a snack, why not go along. They offer hot food every day, with a vegetarian option, or you can get sandwiches and salads or a jacket potato with a choice of fillings. The cafe is very competitively priced so why not give it a try?

The coffee is fantastic -- I got a HUGE 4-shot flat white that was amazing, along with a lunch sandwich (bacon, brie, and onion on ciabatta bread, grilled up) all for £7. The food was phenomenal; well beyond my expectations. I followed it all up with a large cup of tea, which was also good. The owners and staff are incredibly nice. With the ambiance of this place and the quality of the coffee, you could easily transport this to San Francisco and it would be staffed by rude coffee hipsters who would scold you for putting sugar in your coffee. This place has all of the qualities of a great boutique coffee shop in the States without the pretensions. As you walk into Coffee Traveller, it looks deceivingly small, but there are plenty of seats in the back. After finishing up my lunch, I got quite a bit of work done here in one of the small back rooms. There seems to be password protected WiFi for this place, but I didn't ask about the code. I'll be sure to ask about it tomorrow when I return!

Top marks for the pepperoni, roasted veggies and mozzarella special ciabatta, at £3.65. Be weary though, have the cash as they don't take cards. When its less busy it's really nice to go there just for a quick bite before a nice movie. The sandwiches are served cut in half and toasted on a semi-fancy plate with optional salad. Prices, increase by 20p or 30p when you eat in. They also do pasta bakes, jacket potatoes and english breakfasts, £4.50, I can't wait for next sunday to come, I know (and you know) were I'll be eating.
