The Waterside Cafe under new ownership has improved immeasurably and is more than worthy of its prime location in the heart of Little Venice.. Sitting there by the water, having an ice cream (doggies too!), a light lunch or breakfast or just a coffee is a simple pleasure. Green is all around and it is literally like having a massage or being on holiday in terms of the effect - so relaxing. The service is outstanding, and friendly - so often lacking in many establishments today. Cannot recommend highly enough. Try it!

Pleasant stop along the canal away from the buzz of London city center and crowded avenues. A piece of countryside and relaxation in the heart of London. Delicious cappuccinos and cakes prepared in a long boat that you can enjoy on the terrace by the waterfront or in the long narrow boat.

Beautiful spot right by the canal in Little Venice. The food is fresh and tasty, the coffee is excellent, and the peaceful setting makes it perfect for a relaxing break. The staff are friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, laid-back atmosphere. A hidden gem that’s well worth a visit!

Came here today when walking along the Grand Union canal from Camden with my dog. Decided to stop here and have a cup of tea and ice cream for myself and my dog. The staff were ever so friendly and welcoming. I have a profound hearing loss and lip read and the waitress was ever so good and very patient with me and very helpful. Will return again! Thank you so much.

I really loved the flat white, so creamy and 3.50 it’s a London steal, the place was a bit full, but I get it for a summer Saturday evening, definitely recommend the orange and carrot cake, the view at the back of the boat it’s so astonishing and quite calming.

Gorgeous cafe at Little Venice came for a coffee and stayed hours! The boat is gorgeous and the coffee and treats are the view, the vibe, the service all fabulous. Highly recommended cafe. Ps. Under new ownership/management from about 3 months ago and a nice refresh is underway just go!
