This foundation is what has made Mayfair such a fashionable destination and the go-to area for the rich and famous since the 17th century. There is also a nice mix of styles from the charming cobbles of Lancashire Court to the elegant Mount Street, the cabaret of Berkeley Square to the eclectic Shepherds Market. <br><br>The prestige of these streets also encompasses several of the city’s top five-star hotels including The Dorchester, Claridge’s, The Ritz, Marriott Grosvenor Square and Brown’s Hotel, which is one of the oldest hotels in London.</p>

<h2>Dishoom Kensington</h2>
<p>4 Derry Street, W8</p>
<p>The iconic 1930s building, once a department store, pays affectionate homage to the old Irani cafés of Bombay at Dishoom Kensington. House black daal, cheese naan and ruby chicken are perennial favourites, while breakfasts of bacon naan rolls and spiced chai draw early birds. Bustling and atmospheric, it is as good for a lively dinner with friends as for a lip-smacking weekend brunch. The double-height atrium glows with pendant lights, creating an energy that feels celebratory from morning until late night.</p>

<h2>Min Jiang</h2>

 <p>Iconic hot-pink doors swing open into an ambient space, boasting Californian coastal vibrance. Turquoise-tiled walls bear sleek steel lamps, while the rustic wooden flooring, minimalist olive green furniture, and bamboo screens are highly evocative of a laid-back beach house.

 <p>The cafe headlines with the promise of “coffee, brunch, and other small pleasures.” Intricate shamrocks on flavourful coffees and the sumptuous brunch menu bear testimony to the cafe’s sheer quality, in addition to their vegan pancakes and chicken katsu sandwiches, which are most appealing.

 <p>&nbsp;</p> 
 <h2>Flying Horse Coffee</h2> 
 <p>Flying Horse is a humble little establishment with a significant fan base, located on Golborne Road.</p> 
 <p>A small space with sparkling white walls, the colossal pastry display is in the limelight. A few dark blue velvet couches provide limited seating, while slim open shelves hosting coffee beans and plants create minimalistically chic interiors.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>Posh minimalism and bold greenery define the interiors, with generous outdoor seating adorned with lively creepers reflecting the cafe’s eco-appreciation. Devoid of architectural frills, nature truly is Conscience Kitchen’s soul.</p> 
 <p>The cafe is committed to supporting local producers and small-scale farmers who have been tremendously affected by climate change and ruthless trade. In addition to fresh produce, low-carbon-footprint meals are on the menu. The cafe’s most staggering characteristic, however, remains its truly innovative plant-based meals.</p> 
 <p>Their Egyptian brunch, featuring slow-roasted tomatoes, halloumi, and avocado sauce with rustic eggs is a timeless favourite with guests. Surprise additions are often woven into the menu as well, based on the available produce.</p>

 <p>With white-tiled interiors, massive pastry displays, and vintage decor, the little cafe bears a pleasing bucolic charm. The owners, David and Charlotta, founded Fabrique in Stockholm in 2008, fostering a shared love for baked goods. The impeccable pastry quality led to the brand branching out into London and New York.</p> 
 <p>Fabrique’s standout feature is that each and every item on the menu is patiently handcrafted, using select ingredients and traditional methods. An antiquated stone oven is their signature tool, and as such, even the basics – such as the ever-popular oat latte with a butter croissant – taste absolutely exquisite.</p> 
 <p>&nbsp;</p> 
 <h2>Amoret Coffee</h2> 
 <p>Residing on Portobello Road, Amoret Coffee proudly showcases its range of single-origin Arabica coffees.</p>

From chocolate and grape to wine and berries, these bespoke brews tango with the most eccentric flavour notes.</p> 
 <p>Fortunately, the cafe's enviable collection of beans is available for purchase, and the Ethiopian remains a best seller.</p> 
 <p>&nbsp;</p> 
 <h2>Kuro Coffee</h2> 
 <p>Kuro Coffee lies amid the colourful residences of <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/area-guides/london/notting-hill/" rel="noopener">Notting Hill</a>, on Hillgate Street. Kuro translates literally as “black” in Japanese, alluding to the absence of colour.</p> 
 <p>The interior’s exposed bricks are engulfed in an uninterrupted blanket of white paint. Small arched niches, untreated wooden furniture, and the absence of ornamentation underscore the influence of Japanese minimalism.</p> 
 <p>Visitors can expect decadent cookies, brownies, and pastries courtesy of the sister Kuro Bakery. Their iced chai and matcha lattes are also highly rated.</p> 
 <p style="padding-left: 80px;">&nbsp;</p>
