The Locals Chelsea

Such a lovely cafe serving delicious food. I had a very good grilled chicken toast, and my husband had a wonderful burger. Coffee was decent too. Beautiful greenery surrounds the cafe. Service was friendly and very efficient.

Popped into this cute brunch spot in Chelsea and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the lemonade, chicken sandwich with fries, and buttermilk pancakes – and honestly, it hit all the right notes. The lemonade was super refreshing – not too sweet, with a nice citrusy tang that felt homemade rather than overly sugary. A perfect start. The chicken sandwich was the star of the show. Tasty, juicy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of seasoning. The sourdough bread was toasted but held together well, and it came with a little kick from the sauce, which I loved. The fries on the side were golden, crunchy, and piping hot – basically everything you want in good fries. We finished off with the buttermilk pancakes, and they were fluffy, buttery, and served with just the right amount of syrup. Not too heavy, but still indulgent – ideal for a weekend treat. Service was nice, and the vibe was relaxed but stylish, with just the right amount of buzz for a late morning brunch. Definitely one of those places you’d want to come back to – whether you’re catching up with friends or just treating yourself.

A lovely place to brunch. We sat outdoors and it was a nice setting. The service was efficient. The food was delicious and we loved the matcha pancakes! Definitely going to keep this address next time I will visit this side of London.
