About Cafe Milano
Café Milano is an independently run neighbourhood café nestled within Lichfield Court on Sheen Road, Richmond. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 8:30am to 5pm, it draws a loyal local following with its welcoming atmosphere, quality coffee and a menu that leans into satisfying breakfast and brunch fare — including a much-praised bacon and scrambled egg roll. Italian and Greek-inspired desserts add a distinctive touch. The café has earned a strong reputation for genuine hospitality, with regulars receiving the kind of warm, personal greeting that makes it feel less like a transaction and more like a visit to a friend.
Local area
Sheen Road sits at a natural crossroads between Richmond town centre and the quieter residential streets that stretch towards East Sheen, making Café Milano well placed for both locals heading into town and those simply enjoying the neighbourhood at their own pace. Richmond has long supported a culture of independent businesses alongside its larger names, and a café of this character — personally run, consistent in quality and valued by regulars — fits squarely into that tradition. In a borough shaped by the park, the river and a genuine sense of community, a dependable local café holds real social value.
Why choose Cafe Milano
For residents who value familiarity and quality in equal measure, Café Milano offers both. Its high Google rating — 4.8 from over a hundred visitors — reflects consistent delivery rather than occasional brilliance. The hours suit a relaxed morning routine, and the independently run nature of the place means you are likely to be served by someone who actually cares about the experience. For those who find large chain cafés impersonal, this is a meaningful alternative: a café where the coffee is good, the food is honest and the welcome is genuine.

The last tomatoes in Richmond gardens are coming indoors
The last tomatoes in Richmond gardens are coming indoors now, bundled in newspaper or lined up on kitchen windowsills. The green ones will never see another warm day outdoors. But they will ripen. Slowly, reluctantly, they turn from hard jade to blushing orange to full, soft red. You pick them before the first frost. That […]
