About the Vibe
Tucked inside Holland Park’s historic arches, this Daisy Green outpost is your go-to for an all-day café experience that feels more like a park date than a coffee run. You’ll find Australian-inspired brunch plates, specialty coffee, and a dedicated Gelupo gelato hatch that’s perfect for summer afternoons. The real magic happens on the terrace, where you can sip your latte surrounded by greenery while the park’s cultural programme unfolds around you.

Parkside Brunch with a View
Holland Park Café is the kind of spot that makes you forget you’re in the middle of London. Set within the park’s historic arches, it’s got this effortless, nature-led vibe that’s hard to beat. The terrace is the star here—grab a coffee or a brunch plate and settle in for hours while the kids (or dogs) run around nearby. Food-wise, think Australian-inspired small plates, salads, and sandwiches that hit the spot without being fancy. The Gelupo gelato hatch is a serious bonus in summer; don’t leave without trying a scoop.
It’s not perfect, though. Service can drag during peak brunch hours, and the prices lean toward the pricier side for what you’re getting. But honestly, you’re paying for the location and the atmosphere, and those are hard to find elsewhere in Kensington. If you’re looking for a relaxed daytime spot where you can linger without feeling rushed, this is it.
