Coffee and brunch
A collection of my favourite haunts. I’m from NZ so take my coffee very seriously. I’ve also included my favourite spots for treats as I have a massive sweet tooth!
Beam
39-41 Topsfield RdBest for brunch. The portions are huge and the coffee is perfection.
I would avoid trying to go here on the weekend as you will be waiting a long time. Great brunch with lots of healthy options

Best cinnamon buns. This is another favourite - the classic cinnamon is hard to beat but they also do delicious focaccia.
There is another small shop in Holland Park next to Tesco.
Buns From Home

Tucked away in a side street, this is a lovely spot and very handy to Hyde Park. A great place to pick up coffee on your way to the park

Pubs
Without doubt our favourite pub. There is some outside seating but it’s not able to be booked. Tip - turn up just before 12 to secure a gavel outside. The Sunday roast is perfection
