Reviews of The Hill Station Cafe
N. K.We had corned beef hash, tart and coffee and all was very good. We didn't expect much as it looked like a basic community cafe but food and service were much better than we expected. We were also happy to support a local community too. Happy customers. :-) We would definitely go back next time!
M. L.An inclusive, creative, and communal establishment. It was my first time there (weekday afternoon), and I found the staff, the food, and the interior of this cafe delightful. The staff were attentive (cleared away dishes quickly), friendly, and professional. The food was seasoned well, and I felt the portion sizes were fair compared to London prices.
It is an open kitchen concept, so delicious smells will waft through the cafe during the whole dining experience. And even if the smell lingers onto your clothing when you leave (if you decide to stay for a longer period of time), it's like a hug from the cafe you get to bring home with you.
C. T.Such a lovely vibe. If you have a chance to try the almond ricotta cake you really should!
S. M.Community Matters - Do Visit The Hill Station Cafe SE14 5TW
This very special unique Community cafe run by the dedicated lovely tireless Jacqui Shimidzu, has a very special place in my heart, since early June 2019 this place has played a crucial role in helping with my mental health recovery on so many levels, to the extent this place feels like part of my home. I have made some lovely new friends and met so many interesting engaging enlightening people from all walks of life.
This is such a tranquil place, if you want to experience good karma to chill out, read a good book, with a delicious homemade creation - be it on your own or with your friends, family, kids - this is the perfect place.
Open seven days a week from 9am-4.30pm.
With a varied heavily weighted Vegan/Vegetarian friendly menu, including a great range of coffee's and soft drinks which are quite often locally sourced.
Also do check out the £5.50 jars of mouthwatering honey with a very distinct flavour, the lovely Agnieszka who works at the cafe, her family in Poland own a farm with 300 bee hives. This honey is delicious and an ideal gift.
On 8th October when I had one of my regular menu favourites which is soup of the day always with the cheese toastie which uses locally baked bread, everyone was treated to an impromptu piano recital by Hugh Harris, and this is just part of the delightful charm of this place - the sense of community is very strong and right across the full age spectrum, the Mum's with toddlers, very evident one of my visits were so quiet, no idea how you gals do it!
The Hill Trader shop I have found to be excellent for so many gift's and that everything is locally created is very positive - so do support, remember gifts are not just for Christmas.
The Hill Station Microlibrary I have found to be an excellent source for some great reads including even a few DVD's, and it's all FREE!
There is also a programme of regular evening events which more often are community based and quite varied - do check out facebook The Hill Station Page & Group to get a flavour, you can also speak to lovely Jacqui who is quite often at the cafe to find out 'what's going on.'
C. S. &. r.Great, indie, community cafe & shop. Well worth a visit
J. P.Small and friendly local community-run cafe. Lovely selection of drinks and cakes and also a small shop within the cafe selling crafts. Great to have independent cafes thriving in the area!
T. T.My first time here was during covid-19 so I haven't gotten to experience The Hill Station for what it's like normally, but it was still a very lovely place with plenty of outdoor seating. The large selection of baked goods and fresh food was great for having a snack there and taking away a focaccine or loaf of bread for later. There are many vegan options available, like the vegan banana bread I had.
The Hill Trader section of the shop looks like an area to buy (I'm guessing) quality locally handmade goods, but looks like it's temporarily closed.
C. R.Good sourdough pizza from dinner from 100 (street food van). A stones throw away from a pretty park with great views of the skyline.
M. R.Lovely staff, nice food and very community focused business.
M. S.For a place that doesn't look like much, it is a really cozy café. Had some vegan pancakes and it was great, as someone who isn't about the vegan life, it was a pleasant surprise. Would definitely be a frequent guest.
E. O.On Tuesday evenings it's Riverdene Roti here and it's absolutely amazing! The food is filling and fantastic! I've woken up today thinking about how great the food was and when am I going back. The prawn curry, the chickpea and veg curry, the fish, the saltfish fritters were superb.
Lovely, friendly service, you're truly made to feel welcome.
Absolutely wonderful experience!
Well done Ladies!
D. W.Cracking wee spot, great (and good value) pizza, pop by on a Sunday for a spot of light jazzy noodling for entertainment
n. m.Never had a bad hair cut or colour here. All the staff are friendly and down to earth. Happy, relaxed vibe. Always look forward to going in (which is great since i have dreaded haircuts in other places).
B. R.Friendly and down-to-earth local café. Decent coffee and snacky food looked good too. Dog friendly - always a plus!
R. K.Lovely relaxed community space, and lovely coffee! Great hidden gem of a location xx
I. M.Nice place perfect for families. There is enough space for a buggy to be carried around. Coffee and food are excellent and the staff is normally friendly and nice.
There is also a small shop just next to the entrance that sells nice stuff (jewelleries, clothes and much more).
S. R.Lovely place. Clean and tidy with a little shop selling arts and crafts from local people.
D. H.Great community cafe, with nice food. Unfortunately I'd just settled in when my girlfriend and daughter burst in uninvited and signalled my 15 mins of solitude was over. Lovely place other than that though
N. B.I live locally and absolutely love the space and the whole idea behind community led initiatives.
I recently visited with my family during the week for an 11 am coffee and I was seriously annoyed/ disappointed by some of the staff members behaviour. Community spaces are for the community to hang out and enjoy each others company so if you don't like kids playing your piano (not just fooling around with it but actually playing) or people taking pictures with a camera you should probably look for a job somewhere else or seriously rethink your attitude towards families visiting a community space.
J. B.If you live near here you will probably already know & love this place. And if you haven't yet, then you should. Started by the community as a crowd funded good idea, it's now a central pillar of the area. Come here, eat well and meet your neighbours.
N. T.Great food on a Tuesday. Guyana fusion veggie options with roti and home made cake.
N. B.Lovely chilled community valve and very child friendly. Not the last word in in coffee or food quality but if you are with kids and near the park anyway the perfect place to take some time out and grab a drink and some food.
A.Community Cafe run by genuine and friendly people. The produce is sourced locally supporting small local business. Great food and fantastic events. It is not just a Cafe/restaurant but a great place to meet and network. Quirky and different to the other ‘shi-shi’ Cafés. Kids, volunteers, budding artists, entrepreneurs and everyone is welcomed here!
D. G.A lovely little location for a late breakfast after a Sunday jaunt.
If it is as some reviews suggest the product of a community Kickstarter project (which we must assume to be true, for what little benefit the lie would have? ) it's a testoment to something far greater than the sum of its parts.
Five stars?! Certainly! Disregard neigh sayers and grumblers' complaints of raucous music, or tardy opening times. However tasteless thier tomatoes, however halfhearted the hallumi (they aren't for the record, I found it an entirely pleasent, and palatable experience, and happen to consider 4 non Blondes hit "what's up" a time tested classic.) this colorful little corner of bohemia is something to be treasured. A space for community to come together, and a tasty space at that.
C. F.Lovely little oasis. Mum and I stayed with my son and daughter in law and we had brunch in here , it was lovely. We had a lovely day and a walk around the area.
R. “. T.really good pizza and lovely atmosphere and location
L. L.Lovely staff, fantastic atmosphere with a friendly customer base. Polish pop-up was a great success/idea. Try the banana and chocolate vegan cake!
F. T.Good coffee and breakfast. They also have a small community market inside where you can buy nice handcrafted postcards, gift cards, soaps, jewelry and other things for cheap.
M. M.Opening hours say open til 5 but whenever I walk past at around 4.30 they are closing. Lots of potential as a nice space serving good coffee but they need to be clearer on opening hours and consider being open later.
E. M.Gosh, loved it, Loved It, LOVED IT!!!! Cosy hidden paradise. The atmosphere was lovely and but for the fact that I was already expected elsewhere for food, brunch and all the other entitlements on offers looked mouth watering!!!!! Must Visit Spot!!!
W. B.I really like this place. It's super cosy, with warm and friendly staff, big and tasty portions, and quirky eclectic decor. It's a perfect community cafe.
C. B.Great café to have a nice brunch at the top of Telegraph Hill. Massive sandwiches, but the cake options are a bit disappointing. The apple slice isn't too bad.
S. W.Lovely community centre with a friendly welcoming vibe and a huge array of local-related activities. Decent cafe too, with sporadic pop-up specialist kitchens.
D. P.Community run café with lots of activities and events for adults and children. Exhibitions showcasing local artists and a stage with a piano. Quirky décor, nice food, family-friendly.
A. C.Really nice local cafe in telegraph hill. Great location, good food, and nice staff. Perfect place for a family with young kids. What's not to love?
W. T.The roasted cauliflower and broccoli salad was amazing! Lovely atmosphere. Al round fab place.
S. H.Nice coffee but very busy, so expect to queue for some time.

M. J.I arrived sweaty and in a bad mood because:
- i got lost on the walk there
- my Discover Weekly was pants
but that dissipated immediately on entry. Lovely coffee, big ole tables for working at and smiley staff. 10/10 would recommend. Even if you’re in a bad mood. Actually *especially* if you’re in a bad mood.
