Chief Coffee

My two friends and I got there at 12:30 and sat until 3 pm without feeling rushed or bothered at all. The venue is great with good selections of tea and other hot drinks. Upstairs is the arcade and downstairs has pinballs. Overall cool venue to hang out with friends.

I was here for the opening of Chief, but I’ve only been back 10 times max over the years. Whenever I do, it’s always a *fabulous* experience. Staff are always excellent, the filter coffee is just perfect. I’m a regular at some other coffee shops in Chiswick (as in - specialist coffee, so that’s Artisan, Tamp, etc) but I must say the Kalita filter coffees I have here are always far superior. Today I came and my partner ordered the cinnamon bun with cream cheese topping, it came warm, it was utterly ridiculous. I mean - far too many calories but well worth it.

I’m here now drinking a Peru filter coffee, can tell by the flavour that it was brewed with great care and attention. Delicious, super, thank you for being here all these years later.

I wish I could come more often but we don’t live quite so near and don’t have so much free time.

One of my favorite cafes in London! Slightly tucked away from the bustling streets, this clean cafe has a calm and relaxing atmosphere that’s great for chats and work. Take a break with modern Japanese arcade games upstairs (operated with real Japanese yen) or some cool retro pinball machines downstairs.

This is a really unique place. I don’t come here for the coffee most times but for the pinball machine and the Japanese arcade on the top floor. Yes! They have amazing Japanese games to play with and they are super cool! You can exchange your pound notes for yen on the top floor. The pinball room is in the basement level and my favorite one is ghost busters. Some games it is 2 pounds for 3 plays.

Amazing place! My partner and I love rhythm games and I found this place after a Google search for a specific game.

Not only is this a lovely and well priced coffee shop it also has an arcade hidden away on the top floor. I do also think it's very quaint that all the machines use yen rather than converting them to sterling currency.

A must visit if you're in the area or if you're looking for a beautiful well maintained arcade in London.

If I were you, I’d definitely visit this place. The coffee is amazing and the food delicious. However, I wouldn’t bother with going downstairs to the outstanding selection of pinball machines that are perfectly maintained, because then I can have them all to myself!! 😁 Seriously, if you know your pins, you’ll love the line up, Medieval Madness had me for hours. And the top floor has a STUNNING Japanese styled arcade. You could be in Tokyo!!!

Beautiful cozy little place. One of a the few places that got honey 🍯 to add to your coffee (who the heck does that? I know)
Super dog friendly
Would definitely be back

The place that does a cold brew nicely for my tastebuds! Aside from the coffee, the arcades upstairs is a treat. Can't go wrong with rhythm games and the only place I can get my Initial-D racing fix. Despite being a two hour journey for me, it's always a joy to visit especially with friends!
