Notting Hill

Amoret's pour-over programme and Coffee Plant's Portobello Road roastery bookend a neighbourhood with more depth than the tourist trail suggests.

★★ Specialty

Worth going out of your way

★ Solid Local

Good if you're nearby

Cozy Trio

A family-run spot steps from Portobello Market with a drinks menu that punches well above its size. The pistachio cappuccino and strawberry matcha latte are the kind of thing you'll think about on the way home.

Bica

A solo-run espresso stop where the owner knows the regulars by name and pulls a genuinely solid flat white. The kind of place that makes a commute worth leaving home for.

Conscience Kitchen

Tuck off Portobello Road into this tiny Notting Hill gem for Egyptian-inspired brunch done with real care. The falafel and French toast are the reason to come; the coffee is good enough to keep you at the table longer than planned.

Pastella & Butler's

A tucked-away deli-café on Portobello Road that earns its reputation as a neighbourhood find. The coffee is well-made and the whole place feels like somewhere locals actually want to keep to themselves.

St Clair Cafe

A Notting Hill neighbourhood café run with real care, where the pastries are genuinely worth the detour and the flat white does the job without any fuss.

Equivalence Coffee

The Baklava Latte alone is worth the trip, and the flat whites are executed with real care. This is the neighbourhood café you wish was on your street.

Amapolas Bakery

A proper Notting Hill bakery-café where the pastries are the real draw and the lattes are good enough to make you linger longer than planned.

BNB Cafe and Bar Ltd Butter Bakery Bar & Cafe

A family-run Notting Hill spot with a French and Persian-inspired menu that gives you plenty of reasons to linger. Come for the food, stay for the unhurried atmosphere.

The Notting Hill Bookshop Café

A proper neighbourhood café on Portobello Road where the baristas know your order and the matcha is whisked by hand. The kind of place that earns daily regulars fast.

Mawi Cafe

Notting Hill's tourist trail fades fast once you're inside this unpretentious neighbourhood spot. Come for the homemade baked goods, stay longer than you planned.

Pepperon Cafe

Pepperon is the kind of Notting Hill spot you stumble into for a full English and end up staying for another coffee just because the room feels so good. Books, flowers, mismatched frames, and if you're lucky, Coco the Chow-Chow holding court by the door.

KURO COFFEE

A tight, Japanese-inflected coffee stop in Notting Hill where OZON Roasters espresso and a genuinely excellent matcha latte share the menu. Small, considered, and worth the detour.

L'ETO Notting Hill

Come here for a beautifully presented brunch in one of London's most charming neighbourhoods. The coffee is capable and the whole experience is polished enough to make a long, lazy morning feel very easy.

Farm Girl

Farm Girl is the kind of Portobello spot you go to for the Australian-style brunch and end up staying far too long. The courtyard alone is worth the trip.
