Gooseberry Bush

Good coffee, amazing cake, great savoury dishes. A genuinely baby/child friendly cafe that takes real pride in the food they serve. While you can always get some old favourites like chocolate cake there's usually something a bit out there on the menu like mint choc chip cake or pimms and lemonade cake - both were very tasty. If you are a savoury pastry fan their quiches are some of the best about. Definitely worth the walk away from the cafe chains of Wimbledon.

Unwelcoming and rude staff. Snappy, impatient and blunt response from the lady that took my order. Not even a smile back when I said hello. I left the cafe before I even sat down because of the attitude that I was given. Don't waste your time going here, there are plenty of others on Kingston Road like 'Coolangatta' - a few minutes walk up the road but worth it for service with a smile and delicious food!

Classes above the cafe are a nice touch. Food is good enough, but then again there is practically no competition on this end of Kingston Road. The staff are however a miserable and unwelcoming bunch which is surprising given the so called family friendly atmosphere the cafe wishes to convey. Dropped in four times over the course of a year to give it a chance. The quality of service has not changed and it is time to take my business elsewhere. I would recommend you do the same.

Zero atmosphere and rude chef. I ordered the lunch menu 10 minutes before the start, I asked if that was okay and was told it was fine. Then I have to hear the chef complaining about me...this was despite the fact it was very empty at the time i arrived. Following this I then have to wait 20 minutes for a panini and some salad and had to watch a couple get served food before me even though they arrived and ordered well after me. This was (I can only assume) clearly intentional to pay me back for daring to order the lunch menu! The food itself is cheap but it was dry and personally would prefer to pay more and enjoy the food. The whole place just wasn't an enjoyable experience for me. I don't expect to hear a chef complaining about getting custom;(especially as i politely asked if it was okay to order the lunch food given the time and the fact the place was half empty), alongside the wait for food and quality i will avoid and not recommend to any friends to try.
