"The phrase “this is nice isn’t it” is guaranteed to be said by at least one member of your group if you head to Beam on Westbourne Grove. Maybe they’re referring to the hanging lights or the exposed brick. Or maybe it’s the spaciousness of it all, or the brunch menu that includes shakshuka, a halal full English, and Nutella-filled doughnuts. We’ll tell you—it’s all of the above. This cafe is walk-in only and open until 6pm every day, so plan accordingly." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
