Boulangerie Bon Matin

Real French craft is the foundation here — founder Dahmane trained in Paris before he and his wife Eleanor set up this family-run artisan bakery in 2010. The Hampstead shop turns out sourdough, pastries and patisserie prepared on site, alongside a halal-certified brunch menu with Parisian and Mediterranean influences, plenty of vegetarian choices, vegan and gluten-free options, and coffee hand-roasted by an independent London company. With outdoor seating, a dog-friendly welcome and a 4.8 rating from nearly 750 reviews, the neighbourhood has well and truly taken it to heart.
