Chamomile

A boon for the inhabitants of Belsize Park, Chamomile has evolved into a bustling all-day café noted for its cute vibes, sunny disposition and populist food. Breakfast and brunch win the day, with healthy options lining up alongside traditional greasy spoon staples: if a full English or eggs royale don’t appeal, try strawberry and banana pancakes with maple syrup or a big bowl of granola with mixed fruit and yoghurt. Come lunchtime, the kitchen turns its attention to risottos, pasta, salads, burgers with fries, chicken ‘sausages’ and assorted fish dishes. Freshly baked breads, cakes and pastries also assuage the daytime crowd, and there are plenty of coffees and teas to boot. Handy for local workers and yummy mummies on the nearby school run.
