Discover the Cozy Charm of Café at St John’s Notting Hill

Nestled within the serene confines of St John's Church, the Café at St John’s Notting Hill invites you to indulge in a delightful experience that blends community warmth with culinary pleasure. This unique café, located at 152 Lansdowne Crescent, London W11 2NN, offers a charming space to escape the bustling streets while enjoying a delightful range of coffees, teas, and light meals.

The café stands out not just for its setting but also for the warm welcome it extends to all its visitors. As a local favorite, you'll find that the atmosphere is both intimate and inviting, with plenty of cozy nooks and a peaceful garden that creates a picturesque backdrop - perfect for a quiet afternoon or a casual catch-up with friends.

Though the café is known for its delightful beverages, it’s the food that consistently garners affection from patrons.

Rima has gone sadly, but new people charming and once they've settled in, I'm looking forward to yummy offerings. A bit expensive- I had a salad without a huge amount in it for £10. If it was a bit cheaper I'd come more often.

A cafe in the church selling a good range of coffee and tea with a variety of food for lunch.

It is a sweet little place at top hill Notting Hill St John's Church. A little cafe cosy and small very welcome during hot summer days as we had during summer 2018, hot days which use to be rare occurrences but no longer. It was my first visit with my baby daughter and visiting family and it was not straight forward to find entrance. As it is a church, you turn around it and again and again so maybe some better sign posting for people to be sure where is entrance, which door. Now I know but only because of insistence. But a lovely little cove indeed.

Loved the concept within the church, so it could be easy to miss. But make sure you do find this place as the mocha and banana bread were delicious and well priced especially for the area. Would definitely recommend popping in to see this unique cafe and getting a coffee while you’re at it.
