Benets Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Fantastic location, warm, friendly service and the most amazing vegan sausage rolls I’ve ever tasted. The coffee is super special. Highly recommend!!
Came on a rainy August afternoon and enjoyed sitting outside under the canopy and watching the tourists walk by. Coffee and hot choc were delicious and very beautifully presented. Sausage rolls were super tasty, could have smashed quite a few!
the portion was insanely generous. The flavours of gelato are interesting. Worth a try. Plus, you can enjoy looking at King’s magnificent but rejective gates through the window on the first floor, and wondering why you can’t finish the gelato as it was bottomless.
Considering the ultra-touristy location, I was pleasantly surprised at the coffee quality here at Benets. An extensive menu and third-wave coffee beans on sale, this cafe can compete with Hot Numbers and Bould Brothers. The gelato is also not to be missed.
