Coming from Alberta, Canada, mourning the passing of my father this last February, I found solace and peace walking through both the East and West Cemeteries at Highgate. The atmosphere was serene and reflective—exactly what I needed during such a difficult time. After my walk, I stopped at the Colonnade Café, where I was warmly greeted and served what might honestly be the best latte I’ve ever had. The batista's warmth and excellent service, plus the roaming fox family, added to the whole experience that will leave a lasting impression. Thank you! I will most definitely be back for another visit.

A lovely place to have a coffee before going into the Cemetry itself. My wife and I had a cappuccino and a hot chocolate. Thank you for your service on the day after Boxing Day

I visited with my friend to Highgate cemetery from Italy on our last day . We were served a fantastic flat white and Cappuccino with Oat milk . The gentleman was very nice and we enjoyed a beautiful seat in the sun before our tour .

Great coffee and freshly pressed orange juice at one of the most beautiful spots in London. Very friendly service and if you're lucky - which we were - you get to see some of the foxes that live in the cemetery strolling around causally. 10/10.

What a great cafe, in the forecourt of the magnificent West Cemetery in Highgate. The barista (Louie) was so nice and helpful. Chatting and generally making the experience relaxing. He even commented positively on my coffee paintings of cemeteries - I shall make sure he gets a copy of the finished book. The coffee, both espresso (very fruity) and cappuccino (very creamy) hit the spot nicely. 10/10
