About
Read the door policy before you plan around this one: Maleeha is a women-only cafe. Mothers, aunts and grandmothers write about it warmly and often; a father bringing a child cannot use it. That single fact decides whether it belongs on your list, and it is the reason it sits here rather than higher.
For those it does suit, the appeal is obvious. It is a genuinely good coffee shop first — the matcha in particular draws people in from other boroughs — with a children's play corner attached and a room that reviewers describe as beautiful and calm. Several call it the only space of its kind they know.
Two honest notes. The play area is a corner of a cafe, not a playground, and the tension shows: regulars who come to work or read complain steadily about the noise once children arrive after midday. And a long-standing customer reports that the place changed hands in the summer and slipped, with the play area and the bathrooms no longer as clean as they were.
