We’ve been coming here since it’s opened , always a lovely place for a drink, a pizza and watching Harlesden life go by. But oh dear it’s gone so downhill. Lovely staff who talked us into a cocktail that was just so obviously from a mix. Bruschetta was dry toast with some halved cherry tomatoes and completely tasteless olives. This at least was removed from the bill. ‘We’ve got a new chef’ yeah we kind of noticed. Pizzas ok. Rose wine meh. This mediocre meal was the best part of £100. No. Not for Harlesden.

Food is great every time I come here with clearly high quality ingredients in their burrata, rocket, ham, olives, etc. Matcha latte is always perfect. Brownie today was heavenly. Vibes en pointe with sultry vinyl playing and fog misting up the glass next to the fairylights - so cosy.

The cafe itself was lovely, with a nice atmosphere and good coffee. Unfortunately the member of staff serving us seemed extremely unfriendly and appeared genuinely unhappy to have customers there. There was no smile, no welcome, and the overall demeanour was quite uncomfortable. The expressions and attitude were so unusual that it made the whole experience rather awkward and unsettling. It’s a shame, as the place itself has plenty of potential, but customer service is a big part of the experience. Sadly, because of this, I don’t think we’ll be returning.

Excellent coffee in London, plenty of filled croissants, and lots of fresh cakes. There’s a wide selection of fresh smoothies. A very unique atmosphere makes this place really welcoming. Lovely, light, and relaxing background music creates the perfect environment for meetings, get-togethers, etc. The staff is very kind and always available. Absolutely recommended.
