The Elder Press is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch and lunch. A local and independently owned café located right next to the river; it could not be in a better place! The food and drinks are delicious and the service is excellent. It is perfect to stop off for a quick coffee, grab lunch as a takeaway or to sit down and eat. I cannot rate it highly enough!

The coffee is always unbelievable here and very clearly made with care. I would always recommend the coffee here.
First time eating breakfast here, £17 for a "Full English " which I personally think is a bit on the expensive side for what you're getting but it is all home made and uses quality ingredients which you cant really fault. Our male server unfortunately wasn't very smiley at all and didn't seem too interested, but the rest of the staff are super lovely and asked how we were doing and had taken the time to talk to us when they could. It was very busy which is always good for business!

Delicious late breakfast, the old grain porridge was amazing and a lovely change from your simple oat version. The banana bread (specials of the day) was super thick, moist, and came with lovely topics.
Great service and atmosphere.

Oct 2024 edit: went back to try their savory lunch options - I had the brunch plate which was delicious, shout out to the hot smoked salmon and creamy whipped goat cheese 👌
My friend had the Vietnamese pancake which was good, a lighter option perhaps not the most filling if you’re really hungry (paper thin pancake filled with cooked salmon and veggies)

What a wonderful spot for a Saturday/Sunday morning coffee and brunch. I had the mushroom on sourdough. It was memorable and my cappuccino was delicious. Loved the airiness and atmosphere and the people coming in with dogs. The baked goods look delicious but I wasn’t able to try one. Highly recommend. It was crowded and i didn’t.  have a reservation but the hostess did a great job at getting me seated quickly. My last London meal before I headed back to Toronto✈️  so glad I was able to squeeze this in!

This is possibly the best cafe in London right now. I absolutely love it. Super friendly staff, delicious food and a great vibe. Upstairs is nice and quiet and a great place to get a bit of work done on the laptop with brunch. The owner is so so lovely too and bends over backwards to help and accommodate if you have a large booking etc. Highly recommended
