HJEM

Great coffee and a lovely place for breakfast. The atmosphere inside the café is very cozy and relaxing, making it a perfect spot to start the day. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I highly recommend the cheese toast for breakfast, especially if you’re sitting by the big window. Watching the street while it’s raining really gives you that beautiful London vibe, which makes the experience even more special. I know they have many branches, but this is the one I tried, and it was absolutely great. A big thank you to the staff and everyone there for such a pleasant experience. Definitely a place I’d love to visit again! ☕️🧀🌧️

I popped into HJEM in South Kensington while I was out exploring the area for my blog. I ordered a latte and a cardamom bun, which was served warm on a little wooden board, absolutely delicious, I enjoyed every mouthful. The café itself is quite small, but it has a lovely neighbourhood feel and makes a great alternative to the bigger coffee chains. It’s perfect for a quick coffee stop, and it’s only a short walk from the museums in South Kensington. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We stumbled upon this little cafe walking around Kensington. Originally I wasn’t planning on getting anything, my friend just wanted a coffee. But when I saw the cinnamon buns I couldn’t resist. I’ve had a lot of cinnamon rolls in a lot of different places (one might say they’re my favourite pastry) but this was hands down the best I’ve ever tried. It was warm (!), gooey and doughy, and had the perfect amount of cinnamon. I wish I lived closer so that I could eat one everyday. And their coffee was really good too. 15/10.

This is a cozy and charming establishment, ideal for a quick snack. I was in search of an orange juice, which was on the menu, but unfortunately, it was not available. Additionally, they offer a limited menu. I have tried their brownies, which were not particularly impressive. The price structure was slightly different from other coffee shops, which I expected a high-quality snack. However, overall, it's a pleasant coffee shop experience.

The most delicious cardamom buns !! Served still hot from the oven. When I went to the toilet downstairs, I could see the chef rolling out new ones. So everything made in house. Unfortunately, quite sour staff - two staff members serving upstairs during my visit, both of whom were peppery in their exchanges with customers, and kept turning their backs to the seating area to be on their phones or chat amongst themselves. For this reason and this reason alone, prefer the launceston location, as have always received great service there.

One of my favourite London coffee shops. It’s expensive but excellent quality and I couldn’t recommend it enough . It does get busy too but again worth it and lovely location near Kensington gardens .

Overall a very nice, sweet coffee spot tucked into Kensington, complete with a charming back garden. We enjoyed cappuccinos and their signature buns - both delicious and clearly made with care. The vibe was cosy, though the café was busy and the staff, while nice, had a lot to handle; service took a bit longer than expected but remained acceptable. Quietly rated: worth stopping.

This small cafe is located at a quiet street corner that you may easily missed it. I like the vibe and atmosphere here, where you can take a relaxing break. I ordered a cup of flat white, a piece of chocolate cake for dine-in, and takeaway a cardamon bun. The most impressive one is the cardamon bun! Very tasty and perfect match with coffee. I will come back for it!
