We came to visit London from LA and were told that the food is just awful. But were super surprised to find out super tasty breakfast place with planty of tasty and healthy choices....
Carmen-pleasant, fast, very nice waiter, always with a smile served us just perfect...
Highly recommended this place as a best place to start the day:)))

Canada Water Cafe is bit of an odd institution. They used to focus mainly on the production and service of pizzas and a good range of seasonal beers, wines and cocktails. Really good, top notch ingredients and friendly service.
More recently they have gotten rid of most of the pizzas, jacked the prices up, reduced the portion sizes and put the tables so close together that it always feels cramped.
In the old days I'd give it a 4 or 4.5 star but nowadays it deserves no better than a 3. Sad to see a good place go downhill. -

I was excited that Canada Water was going to have somewhere new to relax with a coffee and possibly something to eat, somewhere new to help break up the lego land style buildings nearby. I walked past the cafe every morning on the way to work, looking most days to see how it was progressing.
Last weekend I spotted a sign saying the cafe was open late serving pizza so a few days later I went to check out the cafe.
Unfortunately I left just after an hour later feeling gutted and very disappointed.
So Canada Water cafe does some things quite well, it is decorated to a high standard and it has a good bottled beer selection and is very well located for Canada Water station and library.
On a less positive note the service was at best average with people being served out of turn and people not being welcomed properly when entering the cafe. Whilst the cafe is decorated to a high standard the tables are so squashed together it feels uncomfortable. The pizza was admittedly nice but not amazing with the takeaway nearby in Albino Street selling equally nice if not slightly better pizzas. My partner ordered the calzone which I thought looked good but I was told afterwards tasted bland.
I really hope the disappointing visit was down to the newness of the café as it has such good potential given its location and start interior. -

I had a simple but delicious breakfast there with my sister. Nice place, good food and friendly staff. We ordered a pain au chocolat with a cappuccino and an almond croissant with a smoothie. It was good and for myself, the smoothie was fresh and delicious ! A good place to chill and enjoy good food for a decent price! I recommended it and I think I will go again to try their brunch menu

Ate here four times while on vacation. Three of those occasions for brunch. I just fell in love with the ham Benedict, it was that good ! I also tried the plain croissant and a danish which were both yummy. My boyfriend had the eggs, spinach and goat cheese with the dark sourdough toast, which was very rich in flavor, he also had the breakfast burger which he also enjoyed.
We had the bruschetta and the margherita pizza for takeaway one night and both were quite good.
Coffee is great, all the servers are very nice and attentive, and prices are very reasonable !
