A huge thank you to the manager on the day in particular along with the rest of the staff for going the extra step to really make this day special and smooth running for us they were very accommodating and the manager was so welcoming and helpful to make sure things went well. Would definitely recommend for small events and would love to come back again.
A group of us had a wonderful afternoon tea at Huffkins in the John Lewis store, Kingston. The cafe is a lovely room, even better as we had sunshine streaming through the windows. All the staff were welcoming and courteous, the food was superb and beautifully presented. The whole experience was a joy. We will definitely be making a return visit.
Thank you very much Dear Huffkinks for baking two delicious cakes for the charity. Thank you very much for your commitment to Mrs Manager Anita, Mrs Monika, who works there and delivered the cake, and the whole team. Brownie and Triple cake. I didn't have the opportunity to taste it, but the people who bought it were delighted with the taste. The money collected from the baked goods was donated to the very expensive rehabilitation of our little Matylda. The girl was born in the 31st week of pregnancy, after surgery to close a meningomyelocele. She suffers from hydrocephalus and a high-pressure bladder, which requires the catheterization every 3 hours, and from lumbar-sacral spina bifida. Thank you very much, you are good people Joanna
This was our first visit to Huffkins in John Lewis in Kingston and we enjoyed it. We ordered the afternoon tea for two adults and an afternoon tea for our toddler and a toastie for my mum who is a vegetarian. The food is delicious and the staff and the service and atmosphere were great. We will definitely go back to try some more of the lovely menu.
It was such a lovely afternoon tea in Huffkins, I’ve made another date to take my friend for her birthday. The food was so good. Full sandwiches and lots of them. Scone was a fruit one with clotted cream and jam, with some cakes also. In all a lovely afternoon tea.
We come here regularly and have always had a lovely experience; the staff do everything they can for you, and they always welcome everyone with a smile. The food is lovely (we recently had the celebration tea!) and the coffee is excellent. We always come with our 2 year old and she sees the staff as her friends now!!
I had my baby shower event with a group of 15 a toddler here at Huffkins Kingston last Saturday. We had celebration and classic afternoon teas, including diary-free, gluten-free, no pork, and vegan requests. The service, table decoration, and the food and drinks quality were outstanding. All my guests later mentioned that they found the venue and the service amazing. They allowed me to bring and put up my own decorations. The well lit area at the back allowed us to have our own space. I would love to give my special thanks Huffkins Kingston staff, especially Anita for checking everything with me and replying me patiently with my emails and requests and her colleague who helped me with the decorations. We had a fantastic time from the beginning till the end. Thank you.
Sedra was amazing, very caring, compassionate. We had our second child's birthday and she arranged for the candles we got and arranged the sign.
