This place is a disaster, avoid at all costs, long queues due to useless staff. They start shutting the place down long before their closing time. They used Covid as an excuse to sell as little range of food as possible. They have signs in place for food they don’t have, which you only find out about after you have finished queuing. I wonder if the owners know how they run this place for their convenience rather than their paying customers.

I love this café, but some things could be improved. If the café is open until 4pm, and especially when it’s been raining outside, why do you close your inside seating area before 3pm? I’d really like to come work from here often, but this is not helpful.

I love that coffee shop! Lovely ice cream It says is closing at 4 and today 21.02 is closed at 15:30 , the lady is inside but doesn’t open the door, it makes like she doesn’t see us , so my daughter is really sad she can’t have an ice cream

What a load of rubbish, cakes which are about as fresh as the cheese between the toes of a barefooted marathon runner, orange squash pretending to be fresh and the prices to make your eyes water.Avoid it like the plague.

Got my coffee and sat at a table at 2pm. They start moving the tables around and sweeping the floors a quarter after, it all rattles and clanks, next thing the lady tells me she will close the sitting area at 3pm (as opposed to 4pm as marked on Gmaps). I feel for them if they’re underpaid and want to leave asap but this is why ⭐️ coffee wins. You know you will have your peace for longer! But this is a common issue with London coffee shops otherwise the place is nice, staff too.

Neither here nor there with this place. Even though it is in beautiful Holland Park, the service is very slow and the options are limited. The cafe itself has little atmosphere or vibe.

Unimpressed. Overpriced, bad coffee (and for an americano pathetically small). Sausage rolls very tasty, however they 'warmed them up', and by that I presume they waved them over a tepid radiator as they were stone cold by the time i got to a table shortly after. Additionally no sense of social distancing inside if that's a problem for you.

Grabbed a few coffees from here. Queued for at least 10 mins on a sunny Sunday afternoon just before mid-day. There was only one person serving the customers. The coffee was moderately priced for the area, for any extras there is an additional charge. They did not have many non-dairy and dairy milk alternatives, they did not even have soya milk (even though it is on the menu) they offered oat milk, semi-skimmed and full-fat milk. The food did not look too appealing and well over priced too. The coffee was good though, I would definitely return if passing by and if there is not a long queue.

The whole park is your garden and your office is surrounded by the nature, and just enjoy the calm and tranquil atmosphere. But when you go outside the gate, it is a posh and bustling high street. Don’t you think life should be like that? Actually you can own this kind of life easily in London. This time I tried Holland Park, and they have a youth hostel and a cafe and a restaurant inside. Amazing! Most importantly, finally I could smell Spring in London and flowers are in blossom.London Coffee Shop for Digital Nomads-17Holland Park CafeCategory: Cafe in the ParkWifi: reliable and free to use (need a code)Seating: There are lots of outdoor tables and chairs, and inside also many sofas, small tables and chairs. In the backyard, you could find some wooden tables and chairs. Some power outlets can be found indoors but very limited.Ambience: Outside definitely it is wonderful and lovely, especially in a sunny day, but inside it may be narrow because it is located under a bridge shape. Still an ideal place to enjoy a piece of peace in the central London.Cost:Coffee £1.5-£2.4Tea £1.25-£1.5Something special about the cafe:The park definitelyProblems:(1) The style is like a old school canteen and the chairs are not comfortable actually.(2) Difficult to find the power outlets for your laptop and phone.(3) The food is quite basic and the coffee is average, so the price is a bit expensive in this case.(4) It is quite busy and the service is slow on lunch time, especially on weekends.

A park 15 mins walk from my hotel in Queensway.. Liked to go morning walk there. Smaller than Hyde Park, gets rustic feel as there is ruins of a mansion built in 1605 and destroyed by bombs of WWII.The Park keeps dozen of peacocks, which charms the environment. They will host operas from late May, unfortunately I couldn’t join.A pity that the cafe is not very attractive.
