ROEHAMPTON GATE CAFE

Roehampton Gate Cafe is that spot you stumble upon while aimlessly walking and end up slightly surprised. The Shakshuka here is apparently the second best in London, and if that's not a claim to fame, I don't know what is. Philip Jones was all about the fair prices and nice setting, even if the staff looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. Grab a coffee or a sandwich, then head back to the park—it's not a Michelin star experience, but it’s clean and does the job.

Mary Kelly was buzzing over the iced latte and matcha drinks, claiming the server was ‘absolutely amazing’. But let’s be real, if the staff are a bit miserable, it might kill the vibe a bit. Overall, it's solid for a quick pit stop, but don’t expect a life-changing meal. Just think of it as a decent place to refuel between your park strolls. 🍵😐
