Café Leon Dore

Soho - 32 Broadwick Street, London W1F 8JB

New York fashion and lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore's flagship London store in Soho also features their own Café Leon Dore. The hip walnut-panelled, marble-floored café serves up a shortish menu that they say is "inspired by Greek culture". That means  Freddo Espresso and Freddo Cappuccino alongside Greek mountain tea and cold brew as well as croissants or Greek cookies. Newly open is the bar room downstairs complete with DJ booth.

Studio Frantzén at Harrods

Knightsbridge - 87-135 Brompton Rd, London SW1X 7XL

Over the past year or so the Knightsbridge store has really amped up its food and drink offering - from their Instagrammable pop-ups to new restaurants and bars. While we wait to see the new Dining Hall offering, our choice right now would be Bjorn Frantzén’s restaurant on the fifth and sixth floors of Harrods. It’s USP? The rooftop bar with views clear across London.

Arket

Regent Street - 224 Regent St., London W1B 3BR

With a mix of fashion and lifestyle retail, the flagship UK store of the Arket brand on Regent Street is home to an Arket cafe which is all about seasonality and sustainability. The menu is vegan/vegetarian created by chef Martin Berg who has a Michelin-starred background. Expect an edited selection of salads, wraps and sandwiches with drinks like sesame and golden chai lattes.

Ralph’s Coffee

Mayfair - 1 New Bond St, London W1S 3LU

Having originally arrived as a pop-up a few years back, the cafe offering at Ralph Lauren’s store on Bond Street is now a permanent fixture. Here you’ll find banana bread, cakes and muffins along with a range of hot and iced coffees and cold-press juices. There’s also a couple of tables outdoors if the weather permits.

123V at Fenwick

Mayfair - 63 New Bond St, London W1S 1RQ

Take the escalators down to the lower ground floor for chef Alexis Gauthier’s vegan restaurant. Not only is this a very family-friendly spot, but if all that shopping has helped you work up an appetite there’s a daily bottomless vegan sushi deal worth looking at.

Nanushka Store & Cafe

Mayfair - 30 Bruton Street, London W1J 6QR

Sustainable Budapest-based brand Nanushka has a tiny but beautiful cafe serving up fresh cookies and banana bread with a range of hot drinks - although the matcha is the drink to go for here.

Shreej Newsagents

Marylebone - 6 Chiltern Street, London, W1U 7PT

Not a clothes shop, but beloved by fashionistas for the quality and extent of its fashion magazine offering, this Marylebone newsagents has a cafe that’s regularly taken over for fashion launches. Most recently it was Selfridges doing the honours for their Yellow Pages.

Aida

Aida

Shoreditch - 133 Shoreditch High St, Hackney, London E1 6JE

If a cafe could be summed up in one drink, at Shoreditch’s Aida it would be the rose latte. The darling of Instagram, this rosy-hued beverage tastes as good as it looks. And it looks good. There’s also a range of cake and pastries to enjoy alongside the clothes and homeware.

Din Tai Fung at Selfridges

Marylebone - 400 Oxford St, Duke St, London W1A 1AB

Once you’ve perused the designer collections across the various floors there are a range of enticing options to choose from at this Oxford Street department store. Our pick would be to head straight to Din Tai Fung on the fourth floor for their dumplings and robot waiters. Alternatively, if you want to grab and go the Kith Treats spot in the Men’s department has great soft serve. About to open is the Jackson Boxer residency at the Corner restaurant that’ll be well worth checking out too.

Fiorucci

Soho - 39 Brewer St, London W1F 9UD

While you wait for your latest Fiorucci purchase to be personalised for you head to the cafe here for either an espresso or - if the mood fits - an Aperol spritz. Grab one of the chrome and leather stools by the window for the perfect people watching perch in Soho.

Carhart WIPP KX

Carhart WIPP KX

King's Cross - Unit 3, 2 Pancras Square, Kings Cross, London N1C 4AG

This London streetwear brand’s King’s Cross store is known for its collaborations with folk like Converse and APC and they’ve gone for an equally on-brand tie-in for this in-store coffee kiosk, choosing Allpress. Word on the street is particularly good so if you’re after a serious caffeine fix in KX, this marks the spot.

hicce at wolf and badger

Hicce at Wolf & Badger

King's Cross - Coal Drops Yard, Stable St, London N1C 4DQ

This three-storey lifestyle store in Coal Drops Yard prides itself on cherry-picking the best ethical fashion, homeware and beauty brands. So it’s no surprise that the food is good too - Pip Lacey runs their top-floor restaurant Hicce as well as Hicce Market kiosk on the store’s ground floor which also runs a nice line in natural wine to take home too.

Rose Bakery at the Dover Street Market

St James - 18-22 Haymarket, West End, London SW1Y 4DG

Super hip Parisian cafe Rose Bakery was an immediate hit when it opened its London branch at the top of Dover Street Market. The food, including freshly made pasta and gorgeous salads, is great - but you’ll want your outfit to be seriously on point if you eat here, to match the fashion-forward clientele.

Sol's at Thom Sweeney

24c Old Burlington Street, London W1S 3RF

Sweeney’s flagship store in Mayfair features their clubroom tucked away on the top floor of the townhouse. Named after Thom's father-in-law it's a space for drinks and light lunches. Oh, and the menu was designed by chef Jason Atherton...
