Today I decided to treat my daughter to a brunch. We went to local hero as I have been in the past and it has been great. The staff today were amazing and the food was good however this is where it goes wrong. I ordered poached eggs on toast which on its own was £9.50 which seemed a little steep. I then added some avocado , some bacon and some mushrooms . Each portion was £4.00!!!! Yes £4 for two tiny streaks of bacon £4.00 for some mushrooms and £4.00 for some avocado. So my food was £21.50!!! For a brunch . My daughters came to £17.50 for eggs Benedict with a bit of salmon and mushrooms.

Please note that they DO NOT allow laptops on the weekend! I used to come here with my son when we were wondering around in Kingston, as they do good coffee.

Calling brownie lovers everywhere! I'm really picky and usually disappointed by brownies I buy in cafes... I also balk at the prices... I wouldn't usually pay £3.90 for a brownie...

A Kingston gem I've been coming here for years, and the coffee and breakfasts are amazing. The best poached eggs in Kingston!
Good coffee and have some vegan cakes. I find the prices to be too high for what you get though.
We had our best sandwiches here and the service was lovely!! Definitely will return
