Educated Palate - Richmondshire

How lucky we are that this lovely cafe is local to us. Always a friendly welcome and lovely freshly prepared sandwiches and delicious pastries. It’s so nice to just sit outside too with a delicious coffee or my favourite Earl grey tea. Very personalised not like big chains. Give it a go if you are in the area, very close to Kew Gardens too.

This is a really lovely neighbourhood cafe run by Sim, Bella and George. They are always friendly and welcoming and make an effort to get to know everyone. They know many of the customers that come in by name and so there are clearly a lot of regulars, including my parents and their friends. They are also kind enough to let me sit and do my work there when I need a break from doing it at home. Veggie and vegan friendly and accommodating if you want to switch something on an item on the menu. I highly recommend a visit.

Lovely stop on our way to Kew Gardens. Great coffee (don't try the coffee at the Gardens) and nice cakes as long as you have a sweet tooth.

Would not hesitate to recommend this care for business meetings or pleasure. Coffee is excellent, food menu is great, and the canolis are to die for.

We called ahead yesterday on our way to Kew Gardens and reserved an outdoor table. When we arrived this morning, we were well taken care of by friendly staff and enjoyed delicious food. We could see and hear regular customers who live locally during our visit. We both appreciate independent businesses, and this restaurant is a great example of why we should choose local traders over global chains. We will definitely be back next year and will make sure to stop by again, as the coffee was also excellent. Michael and Julie from Lancashire.
