While exploring Kennington, I discovered Urban Botanica and instantly loved the combination of excellent coffee, tempting sweet treats, and lush greenery. The single-origin coffee is sourced through Horsham Coffee Roaster, where the owner previously worked, and my latte was rich, velvety, and beautifully made. I couldn’t resist the pistachio-topped pain au chocolat with its indulgent pistachio paste filling, and the counter was packed with other bakes like loaf cakes, cookies, brownies, and muffins. The café also doubles as a plant shop, with everything from rare Philodendrons to easy-care favourites, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A calm, welcoming spot with both indoor seating and a peaceful garden — definitely worth a visit if you’re in SE11.

Happened upon this cute cafe when I had half an hour to kill and had a yummy macha latte and piece of GF cake and sat in amongst the plants killing some time. Lovely place, nice friendly staff, will be back next time I'm in the area!
