Richmond cafes
My favourites
My favourite!
There are lots of lovely cafes in town but my favourite is Penleys. This is in the market place (town centre), opposite the biggest hotel, the Kings Head. I really like the café for its fresh food, airiness and clean cooking.
They also currently have wonderful take away menu, including the meal deal, which is great value and can include coffee and home made cake
Great fresh food. Super for a coffee or lunch. They do breakfast too
You can book a sofa seat in the window by calling them

THE STATION
The Station is must see. It’s a lovely restored former Victorian railway station, which is now a cafe/restaurant and an arts centre. It’s located by the swimming pool and river. It has a cinema, art displays, and several local small businesses, selling their own locally produce, including a bakers/delicatessen, micro brewery and ice cream shop. The café does the best breakfasts in town, served daily from 09.00 - 11.45.

Fantastic local baker and deli. A bit of a walk as it’s at the Station and not in market place. But they make the best artisan bread in town and also an amazing deli which includes sweet and savoury delights including delicious scones and individual quiches
