Awesome place, lovely food, nice staff. Its tucked away at the very back of John Lewis with a setting looking over the River Thames and Kingston Bridge. Scrumptious deserts, high quality lunch and I specifically want to thank the cheerful gentleman behind the hot buffet till who was cheerfully serving us with a lot of care!
It’s only spring! Today recorded as 31degree in london. This weather Jhon Lewis doesn’t have AC on. It was great to see river side through the window. But it was extremely hot under big windows ???????? and I ordered Spanish stew ???? tasty was great and fresh!!! But I was melting with hot stew and temperature ????????
English apple juice ???? is absolutely great! Food and staff are great ???? I don’t know how the staff are working under this hot weather serving hot food without AC. ???????? great tasty and good atmosphere but not recommend in hot ???? weather ☀️☀️☀️
If you get there early then you have the chance of a window table and then you will have a lovely relaxing view of the river thames.( It does get busy quite early )Plenty of wildlife and rowers etc as well as a coffee and food if needed, (I recommend the scones.)The people that work there are polite and helpful.
The food was good, but till wasn’t working and service slow. What I noticed most was how dirty the PTE was with food splashes up the wall where the JL timeline is sited, lights not working, stains on the ceiling which was a grim yellow colour. The child high chairs were thick with dirt as were the blinds on the glass ceiling.
Really needs a makeover
I had a pie with mash, alas no alternative to minted peas. I found the pie cheap and of low quality and the dollop of mash lukewarm. I spent about 20 minutes there with my partner and in that time all the empty tables were covered in dirty crockery with staff only clearing those near the work station. A sad plate of slop in sloppy surroundings . I wish I'd gone to a workman's café. The two stars were for the pot of tea ( earl grey) which was delicious !
Tried their rhubarb custard pastry and chocolate muffin with tea and coffee!! It was nice
Beautiful atmosphere and river side cafe feels... Will go again !!
Dear John Lewis - The Place To Eat Cafe by the Riverside.
We discovered this cafe from the Introduction of our daughter, who resides in the UK.
On 15/12/23, we were at your cafe from 2.30pm to 6pm. Having Lunch. Our family friend came over to join us at the same cafe for coffee and cakes until about 6pm. He brought us a special Hotel Chocolate because it is Christmas. As you can see it (the attached photo of us with the Hotel Chocolate on the table) is on the dining table. But unfortunately, we left in a rush because it was late, we had forgotten to take it with us. The next day, On 16/12/23 around late afternoon, we went back to the same cafe and sought Customer service and the cafe staff for help if anyone seen it and or saw and or noticed or found it but unfortunately, nobody had any knowledge of it. We left disappointed in our carelessness and forgetfulness. But we did not leave our contact but if anyone out there, knows something, or sees something, please reach out to us. Cheers from Rose, have a blessed Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for the coming 2024
Had a voucher for cake and coffee.Good selection, tasted fine,very busy but efficient apart from the elderly who constantly tried to jump the line because they just wanted a coffee,one queue system but service was excellent.Place buzzing and busy which was nice
