Had the pleasure of visiting here 3 times & tried about 8 different coffees. Coffees listed as “lightest” for roast are actually very light but still are full of flavour. Coffee range & selection is great here. Special mention to Will; lovely barista with a load of knowledge. Easily top three in London for me.

Loved loved loved everything at scenery! The space: very welcoming, huge, many tables, bathroom has baby changing facilities (I had my baby with me and it was great). The staff: super friendly and polite. They were so accommodating and welcoming. Brought orders quickly and efficiently. Helpful when it came to choosing items off the menu. The menu: I had the miso mushrooms on toast and my friend had the banana bread. I also got a white chocolate chip cookie to go. Loved them all. The miso mushrooms on toast was definitely a standout dish. The coffee: really lives up to the hype. Makes sense that it made it to the top 10 cafes in london list. I got 2 oat flat whites because i really enjoyed it. Overall, amazing community space. I traveled across the city to get brunch there and would do it again! It’s rare to find spaces in london with good food/coffee and more than 2 tables hahah.

We went for a quick catchup, and I picked this place by chance. It has an indoor and outdoor area. We sat outside because the music was very loud inside, plus it was a beautiful day in Londontown. We ordered a double espresso, an americano, a glass of wine and the de-bloody-licious fritters. The taste was *chef’s kiss* We were served by the lively Shloka, who was delightful and constantly checking if everything was ok. 10/10 would recommend and would go again.

To call this place a hidden gem would be offensive. Discovering Scenery is like finding a tangerine sized diamond in your backyard. Tell me you don’t want to learn the history of your single origin espresso (served with a spoon for stirring!) as you puncture your Turkish green eggs with fresh-baked pistachio-scallion flatbread, exploding the yolk golden as the sun onto creamy garlic labneh…🤯 tell me you don’t want that and I’ll slap you. 😝 On a Saturday at 11am when I visited, there should be a line around the block for this coffee alone!😍❤️
