The Ivy Chelsea

Address
About

Kew Greenhouse Café

Address
195 -197 King’s Rd, Chelsea, London SW3 5EQ, United Kingdom

This darling café is every botanical fanatic’s dream! The back patio opens up into a beautiful garden, and the café’s orangery is the perfect place to meet up with friends or enjoy a nice cup of tea alone. Even better yet, the entire restaurant is stuffed full with every type of plant imaginable, making it a beautiful garden oasis away from busy London.

I recommend: Vegetarian English Breakfast

Peggy Porschen Café in Chelsea

Address
219 King’s Rd, Chelsea, London SW3 5EJ, United Kingdom

If you’ve done any kind of research on cute cafés in London, you’ll undoubtedly have come across this pink floral building from Peggy Porschen Café. Featuring a multitude of baked goods and a floral exterior that changes regularly, this is one of London’s cutest, most photogenic cafés.

I Recommend: Lobster & Citrus Salad with native lobster, fennel, blood oranges and samphire

Saint Aymes

Address
59 Connaught St, St George’s Fields, London W2 2BB, United Kingdom

This delightful café has beautiful purple flowers against a white exterior, and is famous for their 24k gold foods like waffles and cappuccinos, Saint Aymes in London is famous the world over for being over the top and cutesy. If flowers, golden desserts, and an atmosphere made to cater to instagrammers is your vibe, this is the perfect café for you! Be aware however, that they require a £40 minimum order, wait times can exceed an hour for coffee and pastries, and the staff here have a reputation for being exceedingly rude to customers.

I Recommend: 24k Gold Cotton Candy or the Apple, Passion Fruit, Papaya, Mango, Pineapple Smoothie

Zen Café (Tokyo ZEN Bakery)

Address
South Bank, London SE1 7PB, United Kingdom

This adorable Japanese-owned café is a delightful pit stop just off the street near the London Eye Ferris wheel near the Thames River. Inside expect to find lots of Japanese-French pastries, an assortment of hot drinks, and a cozy atmosphere with an “at-home” kind of vibe. We were immediately welcomed warmly when we entered the doorway, and once the owner discovered that we could speak basic Japanese, they treated us like family. I can’t recommend this place enough!

I Recommend: Indian Spiced Chai Latte
