River Gardens Cafe

Saw this restaurant on Google Maps while looking for a new breakfast spot - and I’m SO glad I did! The manager was super accommodating and the waitress was on the ball. We ordered iced lattes (other milk options cost extra) and The Avo (I added sausage and bacon). Honestly, the meal is big enough without the added extras. Such great value for money! We will defos be back - this time for lunch!

While scouting brunch locations in Greenwich for my blog, I decided to give River Gardens Cafe a shot. Regrettably, the dining experience fell short of expectations. The Eggs Florentine I ordered didn't deliver in flavor. The hollandaise sauce appeared to be store-bought, not homemade—though I'm open to being corrected on this. The sauce lacked appeal, the spinach had an off taste, and the muffins beneath were disappointingly soggy. I could only manage a few bites before I had to stop. Based on this visit, I'm disinclined to return for a second attempt. On a positive note, the service was amiable, and the interior decor was appealing. However, the culinary quality simply didn't match the price point.

My wife and I had breakfast at River Garden Cafe recently, and we were delighted with the fantastic food. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. However, our experience was somewhat dampened by the fact that we were seated outside. The weather was cold and miserable, which affected our overall enjoyment of the meal. Despite the wonderful food, the seating situation put a bit of a damper on the experience.

Found this hidden gem on Instagram & decided to give it a go (Even though I am 34 miles away!) & Thank God I did!! After many failed experiences going to places recommended on instagram, River Gardens Cafe did not disappoint in any way!! From the food, to the service and the atmosphere. EVERYTHING was perfect. My partner and I are very particular about the cleanliness in a place and let me tell you, we did not have one bad thing to point out - not even the bathroom, which was spotless and they are even DOG friendly! We were fortunate enough to meet the owners Havva & Hasan who were SO SO lovely and made the experience a 10/10 by sharing their story with us. I would go all the way back there just for the fact that their passion for what they do can be felt throughout the entire place. No detail is missed, everything is considered. We had a few different items off the menu: - The Avo - The Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes with Seasonal Berries - Flat White Coffee Nothing disappointed, the portion for The Avo was very generous considering the price and The Pancakes were super fluffy, fresh and left you wanting more (The best pancakes ever!) The food was so good we even came back for lunch and had the Honey & Mustard Chicken Wrap with Sweet potato fries and that was equally as good as everything else we had tried! If you want to go somewhere with a lovely view, excellent service and really tasty food, this is the place to go. It's hidden away but once found, you won't stop going back!!! We wish they were closer... We can't wait to go back & are already planning our next trip! :-) See you soon River Gardens!!!

Popped in for brunch, hadn't booked so we sat outside, it was a bit cold but they had the heaters on. Staff were patient and did their best to find us a table inside. We had the pancakes, Mediterranean breakfast and English breakfast. The food was delicious, well cooked and good quality. My only slight problem was with the mocha, it was not mixed very well and was not very hot. Other than that I could not fault the place. I will definitely be back I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for nice food, good service, and a nice spot on the Thames

First time going to River Gardens Cafe, and will definitely be going again soon! Myself and my Daughter both had the fish and chips, it was beautifully cooked, large portions and tasted so delicious. The cafe has amazing decor too. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. Thank you also to the cafe for supporting Greenwich Wildlife Network where my Daughter is a volunteer. A***
