"Unlike the tedious chore it’s named after, we can’t get enough of The Laundry. A perfect morning at the Brixton spot looks like excellent coffee and spicy meatballs on toast for brunch, a buttery, malty banana bread with honeycomb butter for afters, and then a restorative tequila ‘bloody maria’ on the terrace out front. Between eating comforting Antipodean-British dishes and admiring the mint green banquettes, you’ll realise you’ve been here for three hours and mentally planned a big event here." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
