FeaturedGinger & White
A beloved neighbourhood café on Perrin's Court serving top-notch espresso, seasonal bakes, and a thoroughly British all-day brunch menu. One of Hampstead's most-loved independent coffee houses.
FeaturedLouis Patisserie
A Hampstead institution since 1963, this old-world Hungarian patisserie on Heath Street serves exquisite cakes, pastries and proper afternoon tea. The cheesecake is extraordinary.
A Village Made for Coffee
Hampstead has long attracted writers, artists and intellectuals — and its cafés reflect that history. Many occupy Georgian shopfronts that have traded for centuries, giving even the most modern espresso bar a sense of timeless neighbourhood charm. Flask Walk and Perrins Court are the heart of the café scene, lined with independent spots that resist the pull of chain coffee shops.
Heath-Side Refreshment
After a walk across Hampstead Heath, the cafés along South End Road and near the Parliament Hill entrance offer a welcome rest. Expect hot drinks, homemade cakes and a relaxed atmosphere popular with dog walkers, families and regulars who've been coming for decades.
