Reviews of Holland Park Café

S. G.

Amazing park. Coffe shop very clean and you have garden. Amazing sure I come back

j.

I know this is London but this coffee was very small for the price (see picture). It also wasn’t very good. Lovely surroundings though. The avocado and egg toast was nice.

J. W.

The whole park is your garden and your office is surrounded by the nature, and just enjoy the calm and tranquil atmosphere. But when you go outside the gate, it is a posh and bustling high street. Don’t you think life should be like that? Actually you can own this kind of life easily in London. This time I tried Holland Park, and they have a youth hostel and a cafe and a restaurant inside. Amazing! Most importantly, finally I could smell Spring in London and flowers are in blossom. London Coffee Shop for Digital Nomads-17 Holland Park Cafe Category: Cafe in the Park Wifi: reliable and free to use (need a code) Seating: There are lots of outdoor tables and chairs, and inside also many sofas, small tables and chairs. In the backyard, you could find some wooden tables and chairs. Some power outlets can be found indoors but very limited. Ambience: Outside definitely it is wonderful and lovely, especially in a sunny day, but inside it may be narrow because it is located under a bridge shape. Still an ideal place to enjoy a piece of peace in the central London. Cost: Coffee £1.5-£2.4 Tea £1.25-£1.5 Something special about the cafe: The park definitely Problems: (1) The style is like a old school canteen and the chairs are not comfortable actually. (2) Difficult to find the power outlets for your laptop and phone. (3) The food is quite basic and the coffee is average, so the price is a bit expensive in this case. (4) It is quite busy and the service is slow on lunch time, especially on weekends.

Grabbed a few coffees from here. Queued for at least 10 mins on a sunny Sunday afternoon just before mid-day. There was only one person serving the customers. The coffee was moderately priced for the area, for any extras there is an additional charge. They did not have many non-dairy and dairy milk alternatives, they did not even have soya milk (even though it is on the menu) they offered oat milk, semi-skimmed and full-fat milk. The food did not look too appealing and well over priced too. The coffee was good though, I would definitely return if passing by and if there is not a long queue.

A park 15 mins walk from my hotel in Queensway. . Liked to go morning walk there. Smaller than Hyde Park, gets rustic feel as there is ruins of a mansion built in 1605 and destroyed by bombs of WWII. The Park keeps dozen of peacocks, which charms the environment. They will host operas from late May, unfortunately I couldn’t join. A pity that the cafe is not very attractive.

a. h.

Fantastic cafe with very friendly helpful staff especially Jen who recommended the iced coffee very nice !

G. S.

Excellent. Friendly, good value simple food from a limited but good menu. Well worth a visit. And next door to Opera Holland Park!

A. C.

Love it here. The food is great and reasonably priced..the staff very polite

G. B.

Nice café in the middle of the most beautiful park in London. Just had a wonderful all day breakfast, it was large and tasty. The coffee is good, as an Italian I can say the expresso is very good for London. Nice and polite people serving. I would come again often to this place!

D. S.

Lovely coffee and good service one of the best park cafes.

S. S.

Great location really nice tea but the inside looks like a fast-food and the tables are not very clean.

M. C.

Good service. I really like there Baps

F. D.

Nice cafe in Holland Park. Lots of seating outside, unfotunately quite over priced.

J. R. L.

Nice place. Price of things was a bit dear.

T. D.

This is a very popular place, especially in summer, just sit outside with a coffee and watch the world go by !

E. S.

Good coffee, beautiful surroundings, dog friendly, lovely staff.

G. D.

nice place in avery nice garden. a bit expencive. slow moving staff

N. M.

Getting better every year. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Right in the middle of Holland Park. Average coffee.

S. S.

Pleasant outlook from the terrace. Busy with Covid-19 social distancing but not risky. Larger selection would have been appreciated but there was a good sausage roll, brie sandwich but average shortbread according to my connoisseur son. Will return once back to normal business.

C. M.

Quiet place to drink your coffee and grab a sandwich

K. M.

Chaotic service, dry cakes. Could be amazing, shame

H. I.

I love the location of this cafe and the dynamics of the space. Perfect to relax while you admire the peacocks and wildlife pass by. The staff are professional and very welcoming. I usually get served by Semhar and Adea. They take their time to explain in depth the recommendations and do so with a smile. Honestly think I only come to this place because the staff are all so kind. Defo worth a visit if you are in the area.

B. H.

Great little place surrounded by autumn colours.

S. J.

Quite basic although looks good from the outside. Many of the tables are wobbly. Not an impressive array of food available but prices are high. Lovely view of greenery from inside. Split level interior and interesting building design.

M. M.

well sad to say corona virus restrictions are a bit much, however the food is quite good all served wifh paper containers and wooden knives and forks etc. the staff are very helpful.

R. E.

Another café that tries hard to keep up with the volume and lowers quality to meet it.

N. K.

It is a nice place though a pigeon was inside walking around. We went there today, on a Sunday and were waiting in the queue for 30 minutes to get a coffee. Maybe it is just at the weekend but I would not queue anywhere else for that long for a coffee. It looks like there is not enough staff around or they are just super slow...Either way I will just buy something in Starbucks next to Holland Park station and take it to the park next time.

I. S.

Plastic cups instead of porcelain for eating in and the reason being that it will be easier for staff to clear the tables. It was 3 pm on a Sunday. Pleasant cafe and warm otherwise. Good cakes.

R. B. -. E. k.

I am surprised I quite like this place. Holland Park is just one lovely place to visit and this is a nice stop off for a cup of coffee. I know there is a carving from the late great Sir Jacob Epstein, never found it yet, but thanks enjoy the coffee, and the sit down

L. R.

Quite pricey, normal hot chocolate just powder and water, can ask for milk instead but still ok. Food is nice. Warm indoor area. Outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

L. M.

Charming cafe. Great to relax after a nice walk in the park.

C. E.

I tend to go here only if I need a drink when I visit Holland Park. I've never sat inside but it can be hard to find a chair or table outside without any bird droppings. Despite that, it is much more rewarding to sit outside if you can, particularly round the back because you're close to the flowers and sometimes the robins may come and join you. The choice of food seems inconsistent. The first time I came I had one of the best doughnuts I've ever eaten but they've not had any since then.

S. R.

I have been working at holland park cafe for 5 years now. I am really loving it especially as we have more people and new coffee machine, inside area is wonderfully, the outside area is amazing. Plus being part of the holland park cafe team has given me such joy and pleasure as i could not ask for better work collegues.

C. C.

Horrendously over priced. Toasted sandwiches came to us over done.

B. A.

Limited choice of hot and cold beverages, offered in cheap cardboard cups of the smallest size. There are some sandwiches available but again a limited choice. This is balanced by the plethora of tables available outside, under the arches, in the front garden, or over at the back of the building, that make this is a great spot to enjoy a nice afternoon, whether in the sun or rain.

p. h. g.

Love Holland Park the baked goods were fresh moist and the ice cream is VERY good... great afternoon in the park today.... Hey its Holland Park it is even sweet when its drizzling outside.... I went again today- 8-17-`16 and once again great food friendly service FRESH GOURMET SALAD AND once again the cake and ice cream are to die for Il be back again and again....

l.

Always soulless. Expensive and unappetising. Consistently nonchalant staff better than the last lot though from the 80s and 90s. Pigeon crap on the tables. Dirty outside area. Inside is nice. The park is amazing.

D. C.

I honestly can't remember a lot of detail but it was a nice chilled spot for coffee . My best friend and I had been hunting Pokemon and I had been hitting the Kush . The cake was lovely from my vivid recollection and we are by nature cake lovers and some what refined in the art of cake. Hmmmm cake .

X. M.

Amazing park long walks picnics bicycle everything

L. C.

The old cafe was amazing but this new one has never lived up to its predecessor. The staff try to be helpful but seem demoralised. The owners should pay the staff more money and provide better food at more reasonable prices.

K. W.

Didn't eat there.. Only went to meet up with an acquaintance. However, I found it very nice. Family friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Can imagine it being very busy in the summer.

A. C.

Love the food and hot chocolate. Lovely. friendly service too.

C. n.

I visited Holland Park on a guided tour with @ypldn in June 2013. After the tour we had refreshments at the cafe. I ordered tea and scones with jam and cream. The scone was absolutely delicious and I have now added the venue to my #3DIL App. One or two suggestions: I had to ask for the cream; it goes without saying that if you offer scones and jam...you simply have to have cream with it (unless you dont eat cream). The staff were friendly albeit disorganised and got our orders in a right muddle serving others further down the queue and missing out someone who was right in front of the teller!! The food was delicious, my tea was served in a metal pot which I love, the venue is simple and the outdoors seating was lovely. I would suggest a more organised staff to make it a place to visit more frequently.

M.

Limited choice of cold drinks, would be great if there was more choice.

K. P.

Love this café, it is a great place to stop during a wander in Holland Park. Great customer service.

m. d.

We had stop at the cafe for some tea and cake. The food is good. However the decor could be better a bit unpersonal and cold. Lovely sorroundings with views of the park.

A. A.

Nice place and quite place in the same time ,I think those people who have a bad impression about this coffee shop are wrong because it's really nice here and don't forget you are not in a 5 stars hotel so don't worries, enjoy your time spending here ,it's really beautiful.

A. M.

Although the café is nice, cozy and we'll located, it can get very crowded and more often than not people end up spending 15 minutes in a queue.

Y. K.

Long queue, slow service, coffee in paper cups...would have preferred proper cups. After all, this is Holland Park! Not short of money in this area!

S. K.

Shame they don’t make any iced coffees. You would expect it on a hot day in Holland Park.

O. A.

Best brownies. Worn sofas, long queue but plenty of sitting places. Lovely coffee.

M. D.

Staff were nice, food was nice too but we had to wait about 1/2 hour for it: go when they are not busy or you are not in a hurry to eat!

M. R. S.

I was amazed by the eay the breakfast was vooked served. Complinents to thr chef who has grrat attention to details. i suggest the breakfast should be served until a bit later. Weldone to the chef. Rosana and Javan

L. K.

Good quality and friendly staff, bit overpriced but still acceptable. Nice outside seating area as well

M. E.

Pretty good cafe, the soup was really tasty. Not a whole lot of vegetarian options, but the lovely view makes up for that.

B. S.

Great location but unfortunately food was not really good quality. Scone was too dry and no clotted cream 😢

M. S.

Excellent coffee my love the ice cream good service well done

Long queues on sunny days and an inability to keep up with demand for sandwiches let down what is a very good café.

Meet old friends

P. V.

Was disappointed, I arranged to meet friends in the cafe, I arrived a little before 3pm, but was told it was closed! It's usually opened until 4ish, fortunately my friends were waiting so I was let in, it was a lovely sunny afternoon and at least twentyish other customers some with children were turned away, eventually the manager locked the gate and it was up to the customers having refreshments to tell them it was closed! Many weren't happy, so what should of been a relaxing meet up, was spoilt by the above! I will go back again as its a lovely area to sit and chat and have cffee

(Translated) Great hot chocolate, clean and well stocked place. Near this bar is the Kyoto Garden which I recommend to visit! (Original) Ottima cioccolata calda, locale pulito e ben fornito. Nei pressi di questo bar si trova il Kyoto Garden che consiglio di visitare!

A. G.

(Translated) The site is very nice. It allows you to be in the park and has a terrace to enjoy sunny days. It is still a place to rest and have a coffee, although it has a menu to eat and typical snacks and coffee drinks. The menu I tried was well presented, and with a size appropriate to the price. The food was delicious. (Original) El sitio es muy agradable. Te permite estar en el parque y tiene terraza para disfrutar de los días de sol. No deja de ser un lugar para descansar y tomar un café, aunque tiene menú para comer y los típicos bocadillos y bebidas de cafetería. El menú que probé estaba bien presentado, y con un tamaño adecuado al precio. La comida estaba rica.

(Translated) The site is beautiful and has a terrace. On the other hand few options to eat and coffee is machine without more. Acceptable if you want to go outside the park. (Original) El sitio es bonito y tiene terraza. Por otro lado pocas opciones para comer y el café es de máquina sin más. Aceptable sino quieres alir del parque.
