What a great little gem at the end of Portobello Rd. Not only was the food wonderful and the coffee fantastic. I can’t recommend this little restaurant highly enough. The breakfast was amazing and the little coffee shop vibe was to me worth every single penny. Precious 🥰

Cute cozy spot for brunch! We’ve been there twice in a week and the food and service were great both times. 👌🏼 Highly recommend the L&B breakfast special and full English breakfast. The pancakes are super good too but I would recommend splitting it with a friend because it’s really filling for just 1 person. 🥞 All in all a solid spot for brunch!

The food was delicious and the coffee as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The inside of the restaurant is cute and gives a very cozy vibe. The kitchen and coffee machine area and the tables looked very clean and hygienic. The rest of the restaurant could do with a bit of cleaning. For instance, the picture frames looked a bit greasy and might not been cleaned in a while. This is a small improvement point for us. Other than that, great!

I would recommend this cafe to anyone in the London area. I've hopped around, and this is certainly a favorite.

Food/drinks: I had the vanilla chai latte; made with almond milk, it's a lighter drink than regular chai fanatics may be used to, but it's not bad. I was pleased to see that the prices for the drinks overall are slightly below what I see in London cafes! The homemade granola, served with yogurt and fruit, had a unique spin with more of a maple, nutty flavor which worked well with the honey. They were generous with the fruit and the presentation was beautiful. The avocado toast was also fantastic. The avocado was perfectly ripe in (nothing worse than paying for avo toast out and getting a bad one) and the egg was poached perfectly. I really liked the fresh sourdough.

Staff: I loved the staff! I was there on a Wednesday. The lady did more of the work in the front and the man worked a lot in the back but helped in the front when needed. They were so kind and incredibly attentive to their costumers. I needed to charge my laptop to do work and they helped me find a good working outlet (one doesn't seem to work). I was given a menu and my food was served to my table with my own water pitcher. Once finished, my plates were cleared right away. They also take care to sanitize every table between costumers which I don't see as common in cafes. It was all the greatness of a cafe with the service of a restaurant.

Atmosphere: Wonderful selection of fun, upbeat music that many would recognize. The cafe is rather small: I could see that being an issue on the busy weekends. Cute decor, with drawings of London hung on the wall and plants. The biggest con of this place is that I couldn't find the wifi. My computer refused to connect to the portobello road free wifi since it was a weak signal, so I had to use my hotspot.

Fantastic food, presentation, and service. Comfortable seating. Great prices. I'm eager to return.

Popped in for brunch on a rainy Saturday morning. We got there around 10:15 and waited 10 minutes for a table for 2. We had the red velvet pancakes and corn fritter stack, both of which are must haves! The drinks were warm and rich, perfect to fight off the dreary weather. The decor is so cute and the restaurant is very clean. The staff were so sweet!

*UPDATE 11/2024*
They have now expanded into another space in Portobello Road next to the original. The menus differ between the places so read carefully. We dined at 41 and, again, everything was excellent. The Corn Fritter Stack remains sensational but the English breakfast was delightful. Their Chai Latte is one of my favorites in London. I adore this place and look forward to returning soon.
