The Little Cat Cafe — Restaurant in London

Always friendly service from the owners, great quality food (especially the freshly made pizzas) and also great drinks selection (including freshly made pressed coffee, milkshakes, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, and healthier smoothies/teas/etc.). The atmosphere is always pleasant, with great taste in the music choices over the speakers. And the prices are very reasonable.

Regarding the speed of service, I've never found the service to be slow at all. Of course sometimes the queue is very long, speaking to the well-earned popularity of the cafe, but the wait is always reasonable per customer. You can see the size of the cafe, if you're expecting Starbucks level speed from a cafe of this size, that produces such a range of great food and beverages, your expectations are simply not reasonable.

I would also have thought that a slight wait for a drink spent in a really nice park wouldn't be such a chore, and would suggest if that's the height of your problems, you should get some perspective.

Can't recommend this cafe enough, feel pretty lucky to live close enough to...

The Little Cat Cafe — A Pocket of Peace in Myatt’s Fields Park

Nestled at the edge of Myatt’s Fields Park, The Little Cat Cafe is less a venue and more a ritual. It’s where locals pause mid-walk, where flapjacks meet poetry, and where the hum of espresso mingles with birdsong.

Atmosphere It’s tiny, yes—but it pulses with life. Volunteers wave, regulars linger, and the bandstand nearby often hosts impromptu music or Aperitivo nights. The vibe is inclusive, gentle, and joyfully unpolished. Think hand-written signs, a community noticeboard, and the occasional cat-shaped doodle.

Food & Drink The menu is modest but full of heart:

Bacon sandwiches — soft, satisfying, and sometimes individually wrapped like little gifts Blueberry pancakes — fluffy, golden, and quietly addictive Pulled pork bagel — a standout, rich and comforting Flapjacks — fruity, fresh, and perfect with a strong coffee Hot chocolate & teas — ideal for park-side reflection

Prices are friendly, and students get drink discounts. It’s the kind of place where you order once and stay...

I used to come to this coffee shop during my kids football club. Now I stopped going as I am fed up waiting 30 minutes on the queue (only 6,7 people on the queue) and then another 30 minutes to get my panini. The service is so slow that it doesn't worth my time. And please, do not justify this as I have been coming winter , autumn, summer and spring. It doesn't matter the season, there is always slow service despite having only few people in front of me. 6 people on the queue can easily mean a 30-45 min wait to get your panini and coffee. Even longer. Even with 3 people at the front, you can easily expect to be there for 30 minutes. This is not acceptable no matter the excuses. When the coffee and food are not cheap, you simply can't justify the extremely slow service . Now I am bringing my sandwich from home or go and eat somewhere else after football as I can't waste 45min of my morning. I've seen many reviews saying they are slow, but they are not doing anything to improve which...
