Lilac Eatery and Coffee House

A near-flawless 4.9 from 177 reviews says most of what you need to know about this Kentish Town neighbourhood eatery, where breakfast and brunch start at 7:30am on weekdays and run until 4:30pm. There's a genuine community feel here too — guests can add a track to the house Spotify playlist, and the main wall doubles as a rotating art gallery. Add outdoor seating, a warm welcome for dogs and a wheelchair-accessible entrance, and it's little wonder locals rate it so highly.
