Went for a solo shop on a Sunday in the area and fancied a quick lunch. I went for their soup of the day (which was vegetarian, butternut squash). It hit the spot as it was quite cold outside. They gave sourdough bread which was nice and warm aswell. I also had a decaff coffee, unfortunately it was a bit bitter hence the 4* with the food. The service was great and super fast. Overall good experience

I stopped here for a coffee and cake after visiting the design museum. The coffee was amazing and the barista was kind enough to give us a taste of their premium blend on the house . The lemon drizzle cake was delicious too. I’ll definitely be stopping by when I am next in Kensington.

Another little gem near my neighborhood. I like to come here on Saturday mornings after a walk and sit down to do some work or readings. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I also collect stamps for a free drink. The WiFi is great, you can charger your laptops and focus on your things, and there's plenty of space to move around and enjoy some time alone or with friends. Highly recommended to go on the early morning, it is quiet:)

I was dying to get into the loo so I ran into this cafe and I asked the staff what if I can use the loo first then order later and she allowed me to do that I ordered pumpkin cake and hot chocolate cake. The cake was delicious and hot chocolate is not too sweet which is good

amazing brunch place, great coffee and interior. the sandwiches are well priced and good value and the people working there were lovely! the only thing was that the sweetcorn fritter portion was quite small for it to be 15.

Truly magnificent little restaurant in the middle of Kensington. A true gem on the Kensington High Road. All the foods are amazingly delicious. Highly recommended all the foods. My personal favorites are Nduja Burrata Pizza and Kimchi Salmon Brioche
