Garden Café and Restaurant

Great local restaurant for good breakfasts and lunch. Good service, nice atmosphere, good honest food.

Came in and ordered the rigatoni, then my food came 5 minutes later. Amazing food, almost no waiting. Couldn’t have had a better experience.

I may be biased, as I live across the street from Garden Café, but the great food and friendly staff have made me a regular.
I’m not a vegetarian, but keep coming back for their delicious veggie burgers, veggie eggs Benedict and veggie breakfast platter.
If you’re nearby and looking for a good bite to eat, I definitely recommend Garden Café!

Everyone needs to have a nice local café for those early morning breakfasts when you don’t feel like cooking and i’m lucky enough to have this little gem as mine.
Located just off of Finchley Road, The Garden Café offers great meals in a relaxing environment. The wooden, earthly décor is simplistic yet modern and makes adds to the ambience of the café.
I’ve tried most things on the menu and for lunch I like to get one of their baguettes or sandwiches and always get a nice pot of tea. Everything is made with the freshest ingredients and the staff are very friendly and provide an efficient service.
More popular as a lunchtime venue, The Garden Café has a wide range of baguettes, sandwiches and other dishes as well as wide range of teas and coffees, so you’ll be able to find something that suits your fancy.
Their all day English breakfast is the perfect hangover cure and I always drop by for one when the room is spinning too much for me to cook.
Whether you come here for a meal with friends or just for a pot of tea and a read and watch the world go by, you will be sure to drop by here more than once.

On my last four visits to London I’ve made a special trip to the Garden Café for either Eggs Benedict or the full breakfast. This is in spite of the fact that I’m often staying nowhere near the place. Delightful.

Decent food at reasonable prices, but terrible service! The chap who seems to be in charge is friendly and helpful, but the waitresses are shocking! They ignore customers sitting in the café, tut when menus are asked for, and make it impossible for customers to make eye contact with them in order to provide service. Could be a wonderful venue if the waiting staff are sacked.

This is a nice neighbourhood restaurant and we haven’t had the problems with service reported by the other person who has reviewed it. The food is pretty nice, (Turkish) and we have found the people friendly and the prices reasonable. Neighbours enjoy eating here too and when you pass it you generally see people settled down in there with their friends or their computers! There are cool pictures around the wall inside showing the area in the «olden days» .
It’s nice to have a garden although I think they could make a bit more of it, get a few more plants in. The walls are high and parts of it are quite shady which can be nice in the summer.
I would really recommend this place for a pleasant and comfortable meal at reasonable prices, it’s not a special occasion place but one that would be missed if it disappeared.

This cozy corner café is perfect for just about any lazy afternoon. Sometimes I come in here just for a relaxing meal after a long day spent in class. They serve up classic English fare at prices that do not reflect the West Hampsted address. Great place to just come and sip some coffee, read a book or just enjoy the comfort food that is on average below £6 or £7.
