About Chief Coffee

Chief Coffee is a coffee shop on Turnham Green Terrace Mews in London, reached through an alleyway off the high street near Turnham Green station. It combines the cafe with a Japanese arcade upstairs, where the cabinets and games are in Japanese and include Mario Kart and rhythm games. The arcade machines take 100 yen coins, which come from a change machine on the top floor. In the basement, a pay-per-play pinball lounge gives players a mix of classic and modern tables, with a Ghostbusters machine among them. The coffee menu includes a flat white alongside cold brew and mocha, and baked goods and pastries sit next to the drinks. The team can explain the ingredients in the baked goods.

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers come for the pinball machines in the basement and the Japanese arcade upstairs, with several saying they visit more for the games than the coffee. Downstairs, one reviewer names Ghostbusters as a favourite, and another describes a good mix of classic and modern tables. Upstairs, the cabinets and games are in Japanese. Visitors mention Mario Kart, and a rhythm game fan praises the maimai and chunithm cabs and says it is usually not too busy. The coffee earns steady praise too. A flat white, cold brew and mocha are called great, others describe delicious coffee and pastries, and one notes good tea and a choice of savoury and sweet items. Reviewers describe friendly, passionate staff, including a barista who listed the ingredients in baked goods to match dietary requirements. The space is hidden away from the high street, with indoor and outdoor seating, and one group sat for hours without feeling rushed. One reviewer who arrived first thing on a weekday found the pinball machines switched off, and staff happily turned them on.

    “Lovely cafe with even lovelier staff. Our barista was very knowledgeable and told us all of the ingredients in the baked goods that matched our dietary requirements. The coffees and pastries were delicious and the cafe has an amazing playlist. To top it all off the arcade games are fun and unique. Will definitely be returning soon!”

    “Honestly one of the coolest coffee shops available in West London! The owner and lady working there were super friendly, we ordered a few coffees and a sweet treat. The flat white, cold brew, and mocha were great! They even encouraged us to check out the arcade which is a hidden gem! Looking forward to visiting again soon with more friends.”
