"There’s always a little crowd outside this bright cafe on Westbourne Grove, waiting for the all-important text message to tell them their table is ready. They’re all here for the same reason: the excellent all-day brunch. Things like parmesan-heavy, creamy mushroom toast work just as well for an early lunch as they do breakfast, but the best thing on the menu is the Beam benedict. A breakfast muffin is topped with a spiced lamb patty, two deep-fried, crispy poached eggs, and harissa hollandaise sauce that you’ll lick clean off the plate. The exposed brick walls and spacious room—split by a pastry and coffee bar in the middle—make this perfect for anything from a coffee date to a big family brunch." - rianne shlebak
