Mimosa - Kingston upon Thames

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and the staff are consistently friendly, the food is tasty, and the coffee is exceptional. It is also a great spot to purchase wine and other gourmet items, all of which are top-notch and make great gifts. I highly suggest trying the pastel de nata while you're here - it's a must-try! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Karl and I stumbled across this hidden gem whilst looking for somewhere else! It 's tucked away in the Griffin Centre, just off Kingston Market Place. It 's a cafe-cum-shop, so you can browse for sardines and Portuguese wine whilst waiting for your food. We particularly loved sitting on the high stools by the window, and watching the passers-by. We both had a bowl of wonderfully gloopy soup, a chicken pie, and a lemonade, and the bill was about £11 each. Mimosa 's vibes are very good. We 'll be back. Dr Paul Harris

Mimosa is not exactly a hidden gem, but it is definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed a variety of artisan sandwiches, savory Portuguese-style croquettes, and pastries, all of which were homemade and delicious. The coffee was exceptional. The deli also offers a selection of great wines and interesting products from Portugal, which we purchased as gifts for our family. Despite being on holiday from Ireland, I would make it a regular stop if I lived in Kingston or London. The owner was very friendly and seemed to be working tirelessly on his own during our visit.

Our daughter took us to this great little Deli and Restaurant for lunch. The owner and his young assistant were amazing.

Beautiful coffee house. The place is so much more than that it sells some great Portuguese products from alcoholic spirits, wine and produce. We went in simply there for herbal tea and were made to feel so welcome. The owner brought over a selection of almonds raspberries for us to sample. Take my advice and try it.
