Lowry & Baker feels like a charming secret your coolest friend whispered to you. This Portobello Road café serves up vintage vibes, strong coffee, and a brunch menu that reads like a love letter to the weekend. The avocado toast arrives like a work of art, piled high and sprinkled with edible flowers. Pair it with a flat white and settle into the mismatched wooden tables while people-watching through the front window. Every corner is lined with quirky touches, from retro crockery to handwritten specials, giving the place a cosy, curated feel. It’s the kind of café where you accidentally spend three hours sipping slowly and debating ordering a second slice of banana bread. Whether you’re fueling up for Carnival or hiding out from the crowds, Lowry & Baker is a local gem that makes you feel like a Notting Hill regular, even if it’s your first visit.
