Mooca Cafe - Richmond Upon Thames

Affordable prices and welcoming staff make this hidden gem down an alley a preferred choice over the typical high street chain cafes.

Last time we had breakfast in Mooca was over a year ago. We were pleasantly surprised to found a new waitress there. This french lady has improved the service by 100%! Professional, neatly dressed, polite, no more hands holding cups! We will certainly return soon.

I enjoyed a full English Breakfast at this cafe for £7 and found it to be a good deal. The bacon was slightly different from what I expected, but still tasty. The coffee was also quite good. The cafe is small with outdoor seating, perfect for a nice day (unfortunately, it was not when I visited). Located on one of the charming side streets in the center of Richmond.

I ordered a panini with extra cheese and some pesto. I paid for the extra cheese but when it came it had barely any cheese on it. I asked the waiter politely where the cheese and pesto was and he brought out what you see in the picture below. It was disgusting. He said I should go away and what did I expect for £6. He tone and attitude was very rude and we were shocked and offended. We went on 11/07/21 around 4pm. We will not be returning.

This place offers a wide range of indulgent and also more healthy options on an equally wide range of types of bread. Plenty of Avocado on offer as well as bacon and mayo. Lots of choice for everyone. Good range of cool drinks. Unfortunately cash only they need to get with it. No excuses these days especially in a Covid 19 era.
