What an excellent experience I had today after wqlkung alongside the river thames at this little family run cafe hidden away in the side streets just across a bridge across he water with such a fantastic relaxing view of calm and comfort with blue skies as I sipped my cappuccino in the warm afternoon breeze. The owner was an absolute pleasure to chat with and had a massive smile on her face throughout. Both thumbs up for price, service and overall experience. I recommend this place for anyone wanting to just get away and enjoy the afternoon whilst out on a relaxed stroll to clear their mind from any challenges of the day and I know for certain that the young lady in charge will look after you to make your stay a comfortable one. Note: Indoor and outside seating with table service. Toilet facilities are available for guests. There's are a wide variety of home baked snacks, cakes and other goodies to accompany your...
Read moreI popped into Coffee Island with a small group of people, and it is the perfect spot for catching up and unwinding. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and a relaxed pace that makes you want to linger.

Aunty Menul’s radiant energy, Dave’s legendary hugs, and Chappy (their adorable pup) perched on his red throne like café royalty make this place feel like home. On top of the heartwarming vibes, the coffee is delicious, their baked potato is quite literally the biggest I’ve ever seen, and if you’re lucky, you might even be treated to some of their homemade banana cake or fresh-made hummus when there’s a little extra to go around. They go above and beyond, always treating me and my friends like part of the family. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough—once you’ve been, you’ll find yourself coming back any chance you get! PS. My boyfriend swears that their breakfast burrito is the best one he’s...
