L&B (which opened in summer 2010) is incredibly – and deservedly – popular with its local fan base of North Notting Hillites. Many consider it a godsend after years of a serious lack of local independent coffee places. Don’t even try getting in on Saturday or Sunday, they advise. The food offering is small but outstanding, with good soups, sandwiches, salads and assorted other savouries. Sweet things are equally splendid (check out the blueberry cheesecake and banana bread), and prices are very reasonable. This is a neighbourhood hangout par excellence, with an atmosphere that’s like being in someone’s living room – staff talk to customers, and customers talk to each other. The food is served on a delightful jumble of unmatched crockery, but the perfectly brewed coffee – with beans from Monmouth – comes in well warmed white cups. Warm, welcoming and totally laid back: we all wish we could have a café like this one on our corner.
