Butter Beans - (Near Richmond upon Thames, South East)

5 /5 Isobel: Hands down some of the best coffee in London, and just a short walk from the station. This is a truly lovely independent café, serving freshly made pastries, cakes and a delicious brunch menu. The coffee is exceptional: silky, smooth and full of flavour. Easily the best we’ve had in the city! The owners are warm, welcoming and genuinely attentive, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Kale: Great café with delicious food and drinks, and a generous selection of vegetarian dishes. I especially enjoyed the sweet corn fritters. They were very tasty and filling. The matcha latte was also excellent and beautifully presented. I had it with oat milk and caramel syrup. The atmosphere is generally cozy and comfortable. The only downside during my visit was a nearby table of very loud people, whose obnoxious laughter and loud gossiping made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. As the café is small, it might help if staff gently remind overly loud guests to keep the noise down, as excessive noise deeply disrupts everyone else. Overall, it’s a lovely spot that I would happily return to and recommend, especially for the food and relaxed ambiance, hopefully on a quieter day.

5 /5 Vivien Lam: Had an amazing breakfast with my family yesterday. Possibly the best corn fritter and pancakes we’ve had. Love the generous avocado between the corn fritter layers. The bananas and the top of the pancake stack are perfectly caramelised. My toddler had fun colouring (would be nice if the paper has a character to colour rather than blank) and enjoyed the egg and pancakes too. I appreciated that there’s a family table and high chairs. Food took a bit longer than expected, but I guess it was a more complicated order. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Environment is spacious and comfortable (we thought it would be small from the outside, but it’s not.) We will definitely go again.

5 /5 Michelle: Cozy, delicious, and affordable brunch place in Richmond! We stumbled upon this cafe by accident and had the most delicious brunch. We got the pancakes and the vegetarian breakfast, and two cappuccinos. Everything was delicious! The owner was very sweet and checked in on us often. Highly recommend if you’re ever in Richmond

5 /5 Karen Robertson: We found this cafe on our day trip to Richmond and are so happy that we did!! Service was amazing and the food was incredible. Between the table we enjoyed the granola and avocado toast, as well as a beautiful veggie breakfast. The matcha was also the best I’ve had on this trip so far. I recommend everyone stop in here you will not regret it :)
