Truth Cafe - Hammersmith

Minutes from Hammersmith Tube and the Apollo, this independent cafe opens at 6:30am on weekdays — an unusually early start that makes it a genuine rarity in the neighbourhood. The food leans wholesome and freshly prepared, with homemade cakes, salads, sandwiches and porridge alongside smoothies, plus gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options and plant milks for the coffee. With outdoor seating and a solid 4.4 rating from over 900 reviews, it works as happily for a pre-work flat white as for a lingering all-day breakfast.
