Five places with great coffee, matcha, and pastries - Japanese, French, and Danish-inspired; cozy, minimalistic, indoor and outdoor seating.
Café Kitsuné at Pantechnicon
Motcomb Street 19
Coffee • Bakery • Matcha
Stylish Japanese coffee shop located in the pantechnicon building. It's inspired by the French aesthetic and has one of the best matcha lattes in town. Super minimalistic place that serves original, classic Japanese pastries, like double-baked matcha croissants, in good, reasonable portions.
2. The Monocle Café
Chiltern Street 18
Coffee • Cozy
Incredibly stylish coffee shop on Chiltern Street that offers excellent coffee, delicious pastries, and sandwiches. The place is trendy, so be quick to secure your pillowy, sugar-coated, delicious cinnamon bun early in the day!
3. WA Cafe (Ealing)
Haven Green 32
Coffee • Bakery • Sweets
Another Japanese bakery located in the heart of Ealing Broadway. They make chocolate pralines, panna cottas, and serve matcha lattes. Their bakery deserves all the attention: especially the coffee cream rolls and ruby chocolate croissants.
4. Hagen Espresso Bar (Hagen Mayfair)
Swallow Street 27-29
Coffee • Brunch • Terrace
Spacious outdoor seating, comfortable and quiet atmosphere, and one of the best espresso in the city.
Not to mention their soft cinnamon buns with brown cocoa glaze and white icing, inspired by a family recipe straight from Denmark (they also won the silver medal at the Best Bread Awards). Welcoming and helpful staff! Perfect for a relaxed day in the city.
5. Buns From Home
Talbot Road 128
Pastries • Sweets • Bakery
The name speaks for itself: it's a bakery with 4 locations in London that makes exceptionally tasty, classic cinnamon buns, tiramisu buns, buns with orange & pistachio and more! The most popular one must be a homemade gooey chocolate fudge cake with chocolate sauce and cream. Grab a coffee with a smooth, delicate taste and have a sit - it's time to treat yourself.
