Good morning lovely people!

The silly season has well and truly arrived! We want to give a huge thank you to our wonderful community partners – Rory & Sophie Macdonald for a successful property clinic at the cafe on Friday, and to Physical Culture training and Anytime Fitness for teaming up with us to offer their members exclusive T&T benefits. We love being part of this fantastic Putney community!

Now, even though the weather outside might be a bit gloomy, don't forget about us here at T&T! We're your cosy refuge with piping hot soups, freshly made sandwiches, warming hot chocolates, and our irresistible hot puddings.

And if you're on the hunt for that perfect gift for someone special, pop in and browse our range of coffee brewers, grinders, consumables, T&T merch and of course our range of delicious specialty coffee beans from Square Mile Coffee Roasters plus more to come!

Tried & True – so much more than a cafe!

FROM THE BARISTA

There’s something timeless about brewing coffee in a moka pot - that gentle hiss, the rich aroma, and the promise of a bold, velvety cup. ☕ People love moka pot coffee for its full-bodied flavour, smooth sweetness, and simple, hands-on ritual that feels both nostalgic and rewarding. ✨ It’s an easy way to enjoy café-quality coffee at home without any fuss.

WHAT'S ON

What’s On: George and Beth’s Christmas Vintage Pop-Up 🎁✨

George & Beth’s Christmas vintage pop-up invites visitors to explore a curated collection of time-worn homely treasures, all chosen with the festive season in mind.

❄️Winter Opening Hours❄️

As the days grow shorter and the evenings draw in 🌙, here at T&T we are easing into the winter season with updated opening hours. Just as everyone starts tucking into bed a little earlier 🛏️, the team felt it was the perfect moment to close a touch sooner and match the gentler rhythm of winter. These new hours ensure a warm, welcoming space during the brightest parts of the day ☕✨, while giving staff time to rest and recharge. The café looks forward to sharing cosy mornings, comforting treats and friendly faces with guests all season long ❄️
