Why CressFrond

Bright food, proper coffee, a garden out back.

We started CressFrond for the morning we always wanted near campus: somewhere bright and green, where the coffee is taken seriously and breakfast is something you actually look forward to.

Everything’s made fresh: avocado smashed to order, matcha whisked by hand, bagels and pastries baked in each morning. Loads of veg, vegan and dairy-free, and a little garden out back for when the sun’s out.

“Come for the matcha,stay for the garden.”

Piles of veg, vegan and dairy-free options. Brunch that’s genuinely good for you, served open to close.

Single-origin beans and ceremonial-grade matcha: the good stuff, made properly, every time.

Best matcha in Bloomsbury, hands down, the strawberry one is unreal. The garden is my favourite spot to work between lectures.

My go-to before a 9am. Açaí bowl and a flat white and I’m sorted, and it’s quick even when it’s rammed.

Lovely, bright spot with proper coffee, and the salmon bagel is huge. Busy at weekends but always worth the wait.
