Benets

Popped into Benets Cafe for a quick mid shop cuppa and decided to have some ice cream too. The Ice Cream was definitely homemade and tasted delicious! I had a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of blackcurrant and both tasted delish together. Their seating outside was lovely as the autumn sunshine was gorgeous. I also had a green tea which to be honest was on the weak side, but still drinkable. I’ll definitely go back for the ice cream though!!

They didn't tell me it was card only until after, which was not a huge issue unless one only has cash, but great flavors and cool cones, as well as delicious coffee and cocktails/mocktails!

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.

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.Recommended dishesGelato

Located in a touristy location, so prices are a bit higher, but i was okay with it since the quality of the hot chocolate was really good. The cup size was a bit smaller than i thought.

Bought a 'lemonade' and settled to do some work, lemonade was just rather strong lemon squash. After little less than half an hour my partner who didn't like anything there and was accompanying me was rudely asked by the owner to 'buy something as this is a cafe'. The servers were lovely Extremely rude, overpriced and inhospitable to residents and students. Music was very loud and hard to talk over! I wouldn't recommend this as a place to relax, work a little or drink.

This place relies on tourists, rather than repeat trade, so they don't care about being polite. We were rudely asked to leave as soon as they thought we'd finished our drinks. We hadn't. This would have been fair enough if it was busy, but there was only one other couple in the place. I wouldn't go again.

nice location with fantastic view but coffee could be better. we had cappuccino and flat white but you couldn't see much difference between them. nice cosy place we can't say anything about food because we only popped in for a quick coffee to get energy for more sightseeing. nice music

We got an absolutely fantastic ice cream from here while staying in the nearby hotel du vin to sneak back into our room! Pistachio and cherry it was out of this world good. Staff were lovely and place, despite end of the night, was very clean and Covid safe.

Despite the great view and outdoor seating, it is a mediocre cafe. The coffee tastes OK but they don't have the skimmed milk option. Staff are nice but not very attentive. I would suggest them to change the layout of the order counter. It’s very difficult for customers to line up there without blocking the entrance to the kitchen.
