About 2 Love Tea and Coffee House
2 Love Tea and Coffee House is a coffee shop in London, run from a kiosk on the Thames at 5 Lambeth Palace Rd, with Big Ben in view across the river. The kiosk opens daily and serves customers at the hatch. Its menu of 42 items centres on coffee, with a Cappuccino alongside the house "2 Love" coffee, and also covers tea and iced matcha for those who prefer something other than coffee. Baked goods sit next to the drinks, including brownies and cookies, among them a Lotus (Biscoff) cookie. Dogs are welcome at the kiosk, so a walk along the river can include a stop here.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the coffee, with the view of Big Ben across the Thames as the close second draw. Diners single out a double cappuccino, a chai latte, an iced matcha and a house "2 Love" coffee, and one reviewer praises the beans as perfectly ground. The cookies and pastries come up nearly as often, especially a Lotus cookie one reviewer calls "biscoff heaven" and a brownie another loved. Several describe the staff as friendly and efficient, and one enjoyed the humorous banter when ordering. As a kiosk, it offers only outdoor seating, which one reviewer found lovely in the spring sun. Another reviewer suggests visiting after 6pm in summer when it is not too hot. One reviewer who had a double cappuccino rated it a step below the rest of the visit, while others return for a cookie and the river view.

“Lovely atmosphere with beautiful river views, and the best part: a delicious coffee with tasty cookies that make the afternoon even better :) Highly recommended, and great service too ☺️”

“An iced matcha costs £5.40. You can also enjoy a view of Big Ben. In summer, the best time to visit is after 6pm when it’s not too hot.”
