I don’t generally give 5 stars but this little place deserves it.
Cleanliness: It’s a tucked away, simple, unpretentious coffee shop. Clean, well spaced out. Food :I tried the bombon which is a delicious coffee ,with a layered condensed milk and espresso combination., perfect with their muffins which are the right sweetness, delicate, fresh.
Sandwiches are fabulous, fresh, well filled. Made with care, perfect bread. Perfect prices.
Staff: lovely duo, friendly and welcoming, they do seem to love what they are doing. Reflected in their customer service.
Atmosphere: tranquil, a mix between professional laptop users , Road workers, students, NHS, locals. All types just come and go very calmly.
Love it
Rustic is a true gem nestled in the storied Maida Hill neighborhood on Harrow road. Rustic feels like home, the moment you step through the doors you're greeted with a cozy aesthetic and warm smiles from the family ownership team. The coffee is great, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the sandwiches are otherworldly. I highly recommend ordering the chicken sandwich on wheat bread. The sandwich is filled with tasty pickled vegetables, gooey melted cheese, and a health serving of protein which is placed delicately on bread that is toasted to perfection. It’s my favorite thing to eat in the entire neighborhood - you won’t be disappointed. Additionally, the staff (Al) is the best in town. Every visit feels like you’re a first time customer.
I checked this place out as it just opened in my immediate neighbourhood.
I must say, the coffee was worth the wait overall: good quality (a far cry from that burnt flavour you get at the Costa Coffee right across the street) and milk at the perfect temperature.
Overall the staff is super kind and friendly, which felt very nice and "homely".
Edit 1: Since my first review, this place has quickly become my absolute favourite in the Maida Hill neighbourhood!
Edit 2: they have introduced quite a number of plant based milk alternatives also!
Edit 3: please re-open! 😁
