"USP: Walk-in only for peak nonchalant vibes You’re not sure if you’d like to spend one hour or the next six months with this person. No worries, this Notting Hill cafe can help. Pop in for a hazelnut latte before committing to a spontaneous full-blown brunch situation. The lighting, exposed brick, and menu filled with things like a Turkish breakfast for two and Nutella-stuffed doughnuts all make for the perfect backdrop to a casual first date. Plus there’s enough background noise to stop any gaps in conversation from being awkward. But only you can decide whether you’d like to see them next Saturday, or block their number after a 45-minute coffee. " - Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver
