Battels Arts Cafe - HARROW

I really enjoyed this cafe. The welcome was warm and the food was delicious. The eclectic furniture, artist at work, and bookshelves added to the cozy atmosphere. It felt like a place where you could spend the whole day. Some customers were working on laptops, while others were enjoying brunch with their families or simply sitting alone or sharing a table with strangers. Everyone seemed comfortable and at ease. I imagine it would be even better in the summer when the outdoor seating is available.

This restaurant serves the best brunch in town. I love the West Indian and French crepes they offer, as well as their delicious seasonal hot drinks.

Revisited this café as I had a pleasant experience previously. The atmosphere and location are great and the staff are still just as friendly. I tried their Half English Breakfast this time and didn't have any complaints about the quality of food. The prices may seem quite high but I think it's to be expected somewhat for the location and that it seems to be an independently run café. I would happily visit again for a calm, pleasant experience. Everything about it makes you forget that you are situated in London.

Terrible service. Little option for vegans. Rude staff. Condescending cook/owner called Sandra. Expensive. Avoid.

I've been to Battels quite a few times on and off over the years I'm not a regular but I can honestly say I have enjoyed the experience each and every time. I was in there again the other day and the food was wonderful. The chef was grating carrots for some home made carrot cake though on this occasion I had the lemon drizzle which was delicious. Oh and the coffee was amazing definitely the best on the hill. Do yourself a favour and go to this fabulous gem of an independent café.
