Hjem

You'll find Hjem tucked away on a quiet Kensington street, and it's exactly the kind of place that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto something proper. The vibe is deliberately pared back—think whitewashed walls, simple wooden tables, and the kind of no-nonsense approach to baking that feels almost refreshing in a neighbourhood that can try too hard. You're here for the sourdough, the laminated pastries that actually deserve the hype, and coffee that tastes like someone actually cares. It's busy but never chaotic, and everyone seems to be properly eating rather than performing their breakfast for Instagram.
