La Masseria

You're on Upper Berkeley Street, just a breath away from the madness of Oxford Street, when you spot the warm glow of La Masseria. Step inside and suddenly you're somewhere else entirely—stripped-back Italian sensibility, the kind of place where they're not trying too hard but somehow everything lands just right. The coffee's proper, the cornetti actually flake, and there's usually a queue of locals who know exactly what they're after. It's the sort of spot where you can spend £6 on a cappuccino and pastry and feel like you've had a proper moment before heading back into Mayfair life.
