London is like a health food walhalla, on every street corner you'll look you find an amazing cafe, pub or restaurant. I haven't spend time in London for too long, but what I do know is that I definitely need more time for this city! these are the spots I'd love to go to for a nice breakfast, brunch or coffee with my friends in the morning hours:
Redempion Bar
Redemption bar has been on my to go list for a while now and I finally had the chance to go. So when I had a weekend off I met up with my friends and went for brunch in the Covent Garden, which was a hit. They have a beautiful menu focussed on nutritional plant based food. No time to brunch? on the other side of the restaurant they have a take away bar for coffees, juices, cakes and salads!
Healthy stars: 4.5/5
Menu: DF, GF, Vegan, Raw
Recommendation: Iced coffee with cacao, vanilla bean and coco milk, next to a slice of toasted banana bread.

Farmacy
On a cold cold winter morning I went to Pharmacy in Nothing Hill with my friend for brunch, and I tell you this is the spot for the perfect Sunday brunch. Their menu is filled with nutrition and plant based goodies which will make your tummy a very happy one! Not only the food is very delicious, but the interior is amazing looking.
Healthy stars: 5/5
Menu: DF, GF, vegan, raw
Recommendation: The Nutella waffles

Deliciously Ella
Well obviously Deliciously Ella's daily is in this list since she's one of my favorite food bloggers of all time. I'm addicted to her food and it ain't that bad, cause it's all plant based! in the morning she serves pancakes, chia puddings, toasts and porridges, but from noon you can get some freshly prepared farmers salads and stews! Not in London? Ella got some amazing books with all her recipes, next to her app ánd blog, you can't miss out on this!
Healthy stars: 5/5
Menu: DF, GF, vegan
Recommendation: where do I even start with this?!

Wulf and Lamb
Wulf and Lamb is based in Kensington, I don't get there this often, but my agency used to be there, so I crossed it so many times. I once decided to go in for a matcha but ended up eating the most delicious carrot cake ever! Most of their pastries are also Gluten free, healthy and unhealthy, but everything is plant based !

Menu: DF, GF, vegan

26 Grains
26 Grains is based in the Covent garden next to hotspots Wild food cafe and Redemption bar. 26 grains is well known about their special porridges, and the restaurant is always full, people actually line up to get a porridge of 26 grains! They also serve dinner from now on, so when the qua is too long you'll maybe make the dinner menu?
Healthy stars: 4/5
Menu: DF, GF, fish, meat, Vegan, vegetarian
Recommendation: their porridge bowls

Hoi Polloi
Hoi Polloi is based in the basement of Ace Hotel in Shoreditch. you can pop by for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and you definitely are more than welcome even though you're not staying in the hotel. the vibe is fun, and it's always filled with people. their evening menu is a hit too, and their cocktail list is huge!
Healthy stars: 3.5/5
Menu: DF, GF, fish, meat, Vegan, vegetarian
Recommendation: seasonal fruit plate

Ozono Coffee
Once I ended up having lunch here with my friend and wauw this was good. They roast their own coffee beans, but you won't be disappointed about their food menu either! you can sit down at the bar where they freshly make all the food, which is -for a foodie like me- a dream come true!
Healthy stars: 4/5
Menu: DF, GF, fish, meat, Vegan, vegetarian
Recommendation: try their Fallafels, and sit on the bar so you can see the chefs preparing your food!

The Fields Beneath
The fields beneath recently opened their second store, but I was already known by their first one! The first location is underneath the overground so when you get out that stop you can't miss out on it. So one day I stepped out and saw this cute coffee shop, went in and found out everything they made was vegan and housemade! It's a small store, but it is definitely worth the try or take away!
Healthy stars: 4/5
Menu: DF, GF, Vegan
Recommendation: Their banana bread!

Leafwild
Leafwild is one of the newest additions in Nothing Hill and I love it. Being completely vegan, mostly gluten free ÁND focussing on the zero waist movement, it wasn't a hard choice by falling in love with this hotspot. no time to chill down? They have a take away fridge where you can find salads, breakfast pots and some juices. remind you, only in the weekend they have a menu, through the week they have freshly made pastries and savory things on the counter, avocado toast and the fridge items.
Healthy stars: 5/5
Menu: DF, GF, Vegan
Recommendation: The banana bread !!!!
The Detox Kitchen
The Detox Kitchen believes that the food we eat can have a powerful effect on our health. This is why their focus is on creating nutritious, wholesome food using good quality, seasonal ingredients cooked from scratch daily in our kitchen. "This is food you can trust", is their motto, and hell yes I trust this hotspot. lucky me one of their locations is around the corner of my agency. heheh
Healthy stars: 5/5
Menu: DF, GF, Vegan, fish, meat, vegetarian
Recommendation: Their changing daily salads, all of them....
