"This bright coffee shop near Battersea Park is the kind that makes us wish we were a freelancer (with a trust fund to lean on). Because then we’d get to spend all day at District, working our way through their Aussie-inspired breakfast dishes—get the sweet potato hash or the smoked salmon sourdough—before dipping into a refreshing açaí bowl while refreshing emails. It’s a spacious, minimal spot with high stools perfect for people-watching while nibbling on a rich dark chocolate and rye cookie, low tables ideal for whipping out a laptop or sharing a plate of avocado toast, and a couple of outdoor tables to really make the most of the heavy paw-fall. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Food Rundown Sweet Potato Hash This is the kind of light breakfast that we’d get our private chef to make us if we could afford one. Healthy, simple, yet deeply satisfying. Chunks of soft sweet potato, fried eggs, and seasoned avocado on a bed of spinach. Oh, and don’t forget the aioli—it’s extra, but worth it. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Dark Chocolate Rye Cookie Is it a cookie? Is it a brownie? This rich, soft, dark chocolate cookie is heavy on the cocoa, and we like it." - Rianne Shlebak
