Lovely located cafe where you can sit & lose time
Tide Tables is like a hidden treasure... in summer months, sit in the shade of the enormous trees and watch the river and all the strollers go by. You can come here alone to sit and people-watch, or to read a paper, or you come here with friends, family to catch up over a coffee or a light lunch.
Food and drinks here are fuss-free.. All the food is displayed. You simply point to what you'd like, order your teas and coffees, and take your heated up paninis, quiches, pies, tarts, or cakes outside to any inviting table.. or pull up a chair right by the ledge overlooking the Thames.
The coffee drinks are about average - but when it's a beautiful day on the Thames, it can feel like the best coffee you've ever had! The food also is nothing too stand-out.. I have had their spinach/cheese foccacia which was very bland... Better choices have been the vegetarian burrito and the feta/tomato/olive salad.
Their indoor space is quite small, yet inviting. In winter time, it can be quite crammed on a Sunday - but it still can feel cozy. The co-ed toilets are a little awkward, but we'll say it's all part of the charm :)
If you live in Richmond or are out in Richmond, this cafe should not be passed up.
