TAB X TAB

Walk into TAB X TAB on Westbourne Grove and you'll immediately get why locals keep coming back. It's the kind of place that does one thing well without the Instagram theatre—solid espresso-based drinks, decent pastries, and honest food that actually tastes like something. The space itself is unfussy but welcoming, the sort of café where you can comfortably spend an hour with a laptop or just sit with your thoughts and a flat white. On weekends it gets properly buzzy with the Bayswater crowd, but there's never that frantic energy that makes you want to leave straightaway.
