I completely love Caffe Paola! I lived in Richmond for a while and would walk down the river to Ham, swoop up through Richmond Park, down Richmond Hill and stop at Paola for their Lebanese Breakfast! It’s a great spread, accommodates gluten free well and is best taken with a flat white! The produce is fresh and well presented. It’s a fabulous breakfast! Try it! Also an assortment of really specialized cakes and all-sorts for sale!

An elegant choice for a coffee and cake. Nicely decorated, affordable art hanging on the walls, a little store with Italian specialties and less expensive than a high street competition down the road. Get a table next to window and enjoy looking over the bridge.

Perfect spot for a late morning breakfast - My wife and I discovered Caffe Paolo on our most recent trip to Richmond and will definitely come back. The staff were very friendly and the scrambled eggs and toast was delicious as were the cappuccinos. We came back the next day for takeaway coffees and pastry and were greeted very warmly. See you soon - Stephen & Trish

What a lovely cafe to grab a freshly made lunch with a delicious bakery too! Really friendly staff, we mentioned we were new to the area and had just moved in across the road and the owner sent me off with a fresh loaf of bread to try. You made my day with your kindness! Thank you :)

Honestly the most consistently excellent coffee I've ever had, anywhere. For this, I visit daily. Also the food is very good, especially the fresh pastries.
