TAB X TAB

"This bright, inviting Notting Hill spot is so much more than just a coffee shop. The small, industrial-like cafe serves halloumi sandos with the perfect balance of gooey melted cheese to crispy edges, chicken thigh burgers that are tender and slightly spicy, and silky smooth oat milk lattes. The food is excellent and the pesky queue moves surprisingly fast. On a warm day the tables out front are filled with couples basking in the sun while sipping green smoothies, and the window stools are made for solo self-care mornings." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"TABxTAB is a relative newcomer to Westbourne Grove, but since opening in summer last year, it has stood apart from its neighbours as a cafe that’s singly dedicated to quality and the customer experience. Every detail here is considered, and the tea is no different. A range of teas from pu’er through oolong to a ceremonial grade matcha are painstakingly prepared, with multiple infusions available of the leaf teas to fully express the character of each tea." - James Hansen, Andrew Leitch
