Very cute community coffee shop. Got drawn to it because of its cute name. Remind me of ālabā.
The shop itself is smaller than I thought: with only 3 tables on the ground floor. But it got everything it needs. The staff and baristas at the front are very lively and kind. Definitely creating a friendly atmosphere there. Can see barista greeting a lot of regulars.
Me and my friend ordered hot and cold latte to have in. Sorry to say that the quality of the coffee isnāt the best. It was a bit watery and taste similar to those you get from Pret and costa. I would expect better from a specialty coffee shop. But not going to complain too much considering its price.
Later tried their bagel and cupcake. I quite like the multigrain bagel. It has been nicely toasted. But the cupcake was a bit too average and wouldnāt really recommend it.
Overall it was a nice experience. Just a little suggestion: the shop could use a bit more heating, or at least close the door in a windy day. Me and my friend was seating there freezing⦠and food gets cold...

The moment you walk in, it feels like youāve been transported straight into the heart of Kensingtonās very own slice of Italian Dolce Vita. The atmosphere is simply wonderful ā cozy, welcoming, and full of charming details. Everything we ate was fresh, incredibly delicious, and authentically Italian.
But what truly stood out was the warmth and kindness of the team! We were there with our whole family ā seven people ā and without hesitation, the guys even brought over an extra table from the shop next door so we could all sit together.
That level of hospitality and friendliness is rare to find these days. Every bite, every sip of their perfect coffee made us feel that unique Italian spirit.
We will definitely be back! A heartfelt grazie di cuore to the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy absolute favourite cafe! The staff is the friendliest, kindest. They remember you, your order and your dogs name!
I recommend to try: pistachio cream filled croissant that they fill in front of you, but they also have kinder, white choc and other flavoured creams too and theyāre all killers! Also recommend any tiramisu, any cake, especially Aleās lemon cake or the creamy moist flat white muffin. I vowed to try everything though, but keep buying the pistachio pastries haha
The baristas are all skilled making gorgeous coffees and providing quick, tailored service, always smiley.
Lots of veggie and vegan options too and as I said dog friendly with little doggie bowl...
