About Lion Gate Café

Lion Gate Café is a cafe and coffee shop on Hampton Ct Rd in East Molesey, with an upstairs seating area that looks out over Bushy Park. The drinks list covers coffee as well as matcha and an Oreo shake, and the kitchen serves a chicken caprese for something more filling. Its position near the park makes it a stop after a stroll, and dogs are welcome, so walkers can bring their pets along.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the chicken caprese, with the panini, brownie and pistachio croissant also named, and the coffee and Oreo shake praised alongside views of Bushy Park from upstairs. Two reviewers describe cold service: a flat response to a latte order, and a wrong ice cream that was taken away after a child had licked it, plus a tea charged but never ordered.

    “Beautiful and cozy cafe, great views from upstairs seating area. We had chicken caprase, brownie and pistachio croissant, everything was delicious especially panini. Coffee is also top notch with bunch of options for other drinks as well, had an Oreo shake as well - thick and indulgent. I don’t agree with previous reviews regarding customer service, I felt welcome and loved the service. Highly recommended 👍”

    “Relaxing café. Head upstairs for a quiet moment on weekdays.”
  • Rosie Ahmad
    “Don’t be fooled for the high rating, unfriendly service from a staff member this afternoon. I went in with a smile, asked her how she was and that I wanted to order a latte. Barely a response from her or even half a smile. Then once my coffee was served, I I thanked her and said, “I hope you have a lovely day” to which I got a very flat response “you too”. Basic friendliness and courtesy go a long way, especially in a customer facing role. If you don’t enjoy a customer facing role then perhaps don’t work there? Simple as. Also, the coffee was bland.”

    “I found The Lion Gate Café to be a lovely place, with cute design and attractive atmosphere! Great spot to relax after a stroll in the park. Great for a date, too! 😁 Its location is great for a short adventure in the hot weather. The coffee is super tasty, locally sourced brand and they have a large amount of specialities! I definitely enjoy places, who are privet and have still put a great effort in the interior and atmosphere! Will be there again and 💯 recommend!! 🙃”
