Great place with awesome view. Last time I was there I was with a friends and we just stood there and relaxed for one whole hour.

Beautiful location with grand views and cheeky squirells. My recommendation is go there for Sunday breakfast with slight hangover on a bright, chilly morning - you will love hot water bottles and blankets they give you to seat outside:)

This place and its companion cafe, the Tide Tables at Richmond Bridge (closed Nov to Feb) are brilliant. I often come here to refuel after kayaking on the Thames.
The filter coffe is very weak and disappointing (free top-ups on weekdays though) but the Americano is one of the best strong but not bitter coffees I've ever found. The chocolate biscuity things and croissants are good. Pity it's vegetarian though - I could do with a bacon sandwich after a good workout.
The staff are pleasant. The surroundings are really cute - trees, sloping gardens, a brief view of the river. It's a bit like Little Red Riding Hood's grandma's cottage, but without the violence.

An idyllic little spot for a coffee, overlooking the newly restored gardens and the river. No sense of being rushed and the coffee is good.
I liked it so much I put it into a story I was writing!

I used to walk past the beautiful Hollyhock cafe everyday on my way to work, on my 10 minute strolling commute! Sadly, I've not lived in Richmond for a while, but if you are visiting, it's well worth stopping here. Tea and cakes were the order of the day, and a perusal of the fantastic second-hand books for sale. I still have my copy of "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" picked up for 50p!

Good but not that good. I was nearby and gave it a try.
Good bits:
Location - overlooking the river, set within a park (it’s not accessible by road!)
Food was tasty
Atmosphere is chilled
Outdoor area to sit and eat is large with great view
Bad bits:
Selection of food is limited
Food seems a bit expensive - I had a salad plate: that is bean salad, salad leaves and some chopped cucumber and feta which was £4.90!!! Seemed a bit steep for that. Plus I had to supplement that with a goats cheese tart to make it a worthwhile size meal.

Place is heaven on Thames, although slightly halfhearted hippie food. Coffee surprisingly good though. Seven stars for the whole experience, two for the food, but still highly recommended.

A really chilled and beautiful cafe, makes you feel like London and all its trappings are a million miles away…

The setting of this cafe has to be one of London's finest. Look down and you see the riverside sweep of Richmond, beautiful whatever the weather; look around you and take-in the elegantly sculpted Terrace Gardens. It's a great place to go to escape the crowds or to take a break from your long, if blissful, walk. This fairtrade cafe has a good range of juices, herb teas and coffee. Snack choice varies. Not as cheap as you might have hoped but there are surprising bargains to be found on the second-hand bookshelves.
