Royal Teas Cafe

The first time I went to Royal Teas, I was almost put off when the friend I was going with said on the way there "oh by the way, they don't do any meat, bacon or sausages..." "Ah..."

Thankfully, I went anyway, and was rewarded with a lovely rough hewn decor, friendly service, a lovely choice of coffees and delicious food (the hot buttered toast for some reason is outstanding.) also smoked salmon dishes, spanish breakfast tortilla, mushroom crepes and more.

On a free morning it's a great place to waste a couple of hours drinking coffee and chatting. Only two drawbacks come to mind. It isn't a large place, sometimes feels a little crowded and as if you are sharing your space a little bit. And around 11am usually becomes a bit of a haven for mums with buggies, but these really aren't problems with a place like this.

Reccomended at the highest level.

Don't know anything about the possible closure mentioned by the previous reviewer, but I was just there yesterday with a couple of friends. One of whom had seen a write up about it the Times (I think). It truly is a hidden gem. We all had the cream tea which was reasonably priced (as was everything on the menu), and we all thought it was as good, if not better that ones we had had in West Country. Everything was delicious, the waiter was very nice, and patient, with our changes to the items we ordered. The tea was good quality loose tea, in a pot with a strainer! Served in proper china cups and saucers. We will definitely be going there next time we are in Greenwich.
