Cafe Plum

Great quality — good price and nice atmosphere
Highly recommended

Café Plum seems to be packed at all times! I had an English breakfast which was solidly good (the egg and toast were amazing!). Same for my latte. The service could have been better, but that’s also partly because there were so many customers when I came (11am on a Sunday). The servers were friendly though despite the bustling in and out.
Will be back to try out healthier breakfast options!

Reasonably priced, not over crowded, and absolutely delicious. Very nice for our last breakfast in London.

Back to my favourite local breakfast place. Got the granola and fruit (trying to be healthy) which was delicious but lacking in yoghurt. Had to ask for an extra dollop to keep the proportions right… Still my favs though!

Café Plum is a gem and makes me feel happy:) It’s nice to know that there is somewhere I can go to have food that feels like it was made with love. I like to check the menu online before I go to see what the weekly special is. My favourite of the specials is the risotto with leeks. It is rich but delicious and it is a bright spot in my week if it’s on the menu.
The milkshakes here rock! I think this might be the best milkshake I’ve had in London and the ice cream they use in it is delicious. I have also had the coffee here which is good.
The fusilli pasta is always good and fresh although it is a bit heavy on the cheese for my taste. Sometimes it is vegetarian and some weeks not, so I’d advise you to make sure before you take it for granted as they are very similar regulars on the menu otherwise.
The chicken sandwich with rocket leaves is good and tastes like it was made with attention to the simple but good ingredients. I do find the rocket leaves a bit much though and would be happy if there were less.
Overall, I really like this place because the food tastes like good home cooking and the staff are friendly too. The café itself is small but cosy and I have always been lucky to find a table. I haven’t tried the breakfast but the menu looks like it has a lot of great things and I hope to try it sometime.

Gemütliches kleines Café. Freundliches Personal. Sehr guter Kaffee und Tee. Vernünftige Preise!

My first visit I was in the area in need of sustenance, but didn’t really fancy Riverside Studios (opposite). Mostly happy with the place, I ordered a very boring dish (pasta) but it had been nicely prepared and tasted good. Second time I actively sought this place out and was very happy with my poached egg brunch; eggs poached to perfection. Clientele are mostly well-​dressed, middle class, local types. Can get overly busy for lunch. Definitely recommend this little local gem. I’ll reserve 4 stars or more for a brunch place which is slightly more spacious and serves better coffee than here. If you are near, go for brunch.

Wanted a full-​on English Breakfast after having landed the day before. Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom, potatoes, baked beans, and toast with tea. Yum. Freshly squeezed orange juice was good as well as the carrot cake (and I don’t like carrot cake). The service was… well, not 100%, but the food was delish.

Delicious brunches. Service is average, but the food makes up for it.

Opposite the Riverside Studios, I popped along to Café Plum in an attempt to kill some time before the show.
We ordered two toasted sandwiches («minus salad… we’ve run out of salads… and soups. We’ve had a Friday rush!) and two milkshakes (We don’t have banana… or chocolate… Strawberry?). After we selected what seemed like the only things left on the menu, we waited patiently while they made our lunch.
We waited. And waited. Then, waiting some more. As we saw people queue up outside the Riverside Studios for what was a first-​come-​first-​served show, we asked if we could change our order to go. We then waited, and waited, and waited some more.
When it came, the food was delicious. My goats cheese and pesto toastie was piping hot and mouthwatering. But the service was the sloooooooooooooooooooooooowest I’d had for a long time and the prices weren’t too pretty either.
Would I go again? Yes. But earlier in the day to sample their breakfast menu, when I wasn’t in a rush and hopefully when they still have all the ingredients on the menu!

I have eaten here a few times and I have had mixed results.
the salads are amazing and the best value for money. They had a lot different types of salads with an A+ for presentation. the english breakfast was good but very generic for what you pay for. I thought the bacon was average and the sasuages and eggs were good.
I was disappointed with the latte. The cup had no handles and was very hot. The coffee quality was very poor.
I like the whole atomsphere that plum offers very traditional and cosy. They have out door seating that is nice on a warm day.

Great local coffee shop with mediterrean inspired sandwhiches, very good and good value

Best place in Hammersmith to eat. Not much competition but still.

I come here in the afternoons for a cup of tea and a leaf through the papers, and on Saturdays after early morning rowing. It’s a great spot for a friendly break, and in the summer they have a few tables outside. Eggs are especially good, and some decent coffee for West London.

Well off the beaten track this is a nice but possibly under used café near the River in Hammersmith. Ideal for those that have been for a walk along that stretch of river and possibly better standard of coffee and snacks than some of the local pubs knock out. It is opposite the Riverside Studios so I guess it takes a bit of trade from there. Parking might be an issue as it is all metered but I have parked there before and kept an eye out for the traffic wardens and always got away with it. There are not many places in this part of town that you can park easily and go off a grab a coffee and a sandwich but this area seems to be a bit of a find in that respect. If you travel around London regularly and need a pit stop then this is ideal. Nice people and good selection of hot and cold food.

früher hieß es the odd spot und war die zweitbeste schnellfresse, nach dem half moon. jetzt wurde es aufgehübscht, und ist immer noch gut und nett aber nicht mehr so einzigartig
edit: das frühstück ist lecker, mit knusprigen kartoffeln, aber warum müssen sie die frühstückskarte hinter der kasse verstecken? das personal war auch schon mal freundlicher
Edit 2009: Frühstückskarte jetzt an der Wand, Personal jetzt freundlicher. Hat Chancen auf Liebblingsplatz. Ist auf jeden Fall schon Lieblingsplatz meiner Mutter — die ist sonst sehr flexibel und immer bereit, auch mal auf ihre wohlgeratenen Kinder (und werdendes Enkel) zu warten. Aber wenn die Frühstückszeit naht, zieht sie es in das Plum — da wird nicht gewartet und es ist einfacher, einen Banker von seinem Bonus fernzuhalten als Muttern vom Frühstück im Café Plum.
