To keep at the top of its game, the cafe changes its menu every fortnight based on seasonality and availability of local ingredients and is organic wherever possible.

The setting

Urban Pantry is surrounded by the independent shops of Chiswick’s Devonshire Road. It’s a pretty café with pastel painted chairs, wooden tables and lime-washed wood panelling.

There’s also a counter at the window looking out onto Devonshire Road and an outside seating area hedged with plants. The staff are friendly and helpful.

What we ate

Although there was a Vegan and Veggie Brekkie and warming porridges, we went for the seasonal special – the special autumn French toast.

A large plate layered with generous hunks of brioche, poached plums, plum compote, toasted almond flakes and clotted cream.

The avo on toast looked awesome, but we went for the corn fritters with roasted heritage tomatoes, chili jam and “little” leaves. A crunchy, yummy dish.

We had a rich Matcha Latte to finish.
