Some might describe this place as retro, but that’s probably pushing the definition. This is an old style caff, complete with formica tables and nescafe coffee. It’s a great location for a stop but don’t expect anything gourmet. That said: they make bread pudding. Not bread and butter pudding, but proper old school bread pudding, hugr brown slabs of it full of raisins and coated in crunchy sugar. Fantastic stuff with a cup of PG Tips after a brisk stroll on the Common. Other cakes were edible.

Although it is pricey it is one of my favourite spots to stop for tea and a scone when out for a long walk with the dog.

It’s there and if you’re walking on the gorgeous common it is somewhere you can go for savoury, sweet, snack or meal. For that reason I like it, but it’s pricey, staff are rude at times and it’s a bit chaotic in terms of queuing. Try the water based smoothies-they are actually unbelievably good.

Nearly £7 for a jacket potato?! £6 for a toastie!!! That’s how the world looks when you’re in one of the wealthiest bits of London, even when you’re just in a basic caff on a common. The prices are silly, but they have a decent range of basic lunchables(food nothing special but does the job), and lots of treats like buns, toasted teacakes and ice creams. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, dog and child friendly. Friendly staff. There’s a massive windmill. Yes, a massive windmill, green green Wimbledon Common grass as far as the eye can see, frolicking pets and toddlers, beaming couples, cyclists, birds, wide open sky, trees blowing in the breeze… …it’s a lovely spot for a cuppa. I’m a fan, mainly because of it’s location and convenience, but I wouldn’t go so far as ‘yay’, so it’s a high a-ok for me.

Wonderful family friendly Tea rooms. Although its menu caters for all day long appetites. Great home made food & cakes! Highly recommend a visit. Pet friendly too.
