The Coffee Kitchen

My family and I went to the UK for about 2 weeks. We spent half our stay in Birmingham and the other half in London. Our airbnb was very close to this charming restaurant. We had breakfast here twice and the food and service was amazing. The owner was so kind and patient (our daughter who's a toddler was running all around lol) and he gave us amazing recommendations of things to try. Everything we had was great but my favorite by far was the shakshuka and my husband enjoyed the English breakfast very much. I recommend trying them out 100%. Very good people and good food, can't go wrong! 😊 Many thanks to the owner and his staff.

Please try the bread! The ciabatta is so gorgeous and crunchy and delicious and the sourdough toast is beautiful 😍 I had the pesto, sun-dried tomato and mozzarella on plain ciabatta, absolutely delicious, and my friend had the full English, they were happy to make the eggs scrambled instead of fried. The hot chocolate is not too sweet, just dark and delicious and the vegan brownies are incredibly tasty, definitely more of a cakey brownie so be prepared for the crumble, but the chocolate flavour is just perfect. Free lemon water also. Would highly recommend.

Opened for a couple of months now at least, The Coffee Kitchen has become easily my favourite café in Kilburn. It does a really nice latte, and reasonably priced (including a loyalty card to get a free one after a few). Secondly, it has a blackboard outside at weekends claiming to do 'the best bacon butty in town'. I took that as a challenge, obviously - and, honestly, it might be right. On a chargrilled bun, the bacon is plentiful and delicious, and even comes with a little salad with a nice dressing. At least for now, I've now found a better bacon butty in the area. Thirdly, it has decent free WiFi, not distracting music (a good selection actually) and is an excellent place to settle down for a few hours if you want a chilled place to work/relax away from home.
