Stables Café

Housed in the historic remnants of Dollis Hill, this quaint café occupies a former stable where British Prime Minister William Gladstone once resided. The charm of its setting—a picturesque park with abundant greenery—sets the tone for a unique dining experience. Specializing in artisanal coffee, the menu boasts delights such as exquisitely poached eggs, freshly baked scones, and a much-acclaimed breakfast cheesecake that captures the essence of indulgence. With its amicable, hardworking staff, patrons are treated like family in this heartwarming locale. Despite occasional complaints about limited seating during peak times, the convivial courtyard offers a refreshing alfresco option. While cash payments are not accepted—adding a dash of modernity to its rich historical backdrop—the café's warm service cements its place as a local favorite worthy of early arrival on weekends.
