The 10 Best Places for Porridge in London

The humble bowl of oats has come a long way in recent years. While once a bland breakfast option, porridge is now well and truly in vogue: bowls have become works of art, crafted with fancy ingredients and accessorised with decorations galore. Renowned for their nutritious quality, jazzed up oats are now a staple on the menus of breakfast spots across the capital. We’ve rounded up the best places in town for porridge, guaranteed to warm your soul…

26 Grains

The Chanel of the porridge world, 26 Grains is the creation of Alex Hely-Hutchinson, who came up with the idea while studying in Copenhagen. Inspired by the Danes love for grains, she set out to spice up the British oat scene, opening a tiny open-fronted café in pretty Neals Yard. With its wooden benches and blackboards, 26 Grains has the feel of an artisan workshop about it, even more so when you discover Alex rolls and flakes the oats herself. Offerings include an ever-changing menu of sweet and savoury porridge bowls, made with nut milks and spices and jazzed up with blitzed nut butters, homemade fruit compôtes, cacao crumbles and coconut palm sugar. Soon you’ll be able to try her creations in Borough Market too, as Alex is opening a follow-up eatery there, named Stoney Street after its home. 26grains.com

Eat: The ‘Banana, Tahini and Cacao’ with oats, banana, tahini, sesame, milk and cacao nibs.

Flotsam & Jetsam

Another Antipodean-style breakfast spot perched next to Wandsworth Common, Flotsam & Jetsam is popular with South London locals – so get in early to beat the queues, particularly on weekends. Their porridge offering is made up of oats, red quinoa and almond milk, topped with a blackberry and cardamom compote, sprinkled with roasted, silvered almonds. Warming and delicious, this hearty bowl will keep hunger at bay for hours. flotsamandjetsamcafe.co.uk

Rude Health Café

You’ll most likely have seen their breakfast goods lining the shelves at Whole Foods – but you might not know Rude Health have their very own café. A bright and airy spot tucked away in Fulham, oat experts at the Rude Health Café serve up perfectly warm, hearty bowls of sprouted porridge, made with almond milk and topped with your choice of fruit, granola, nuts, yoghurt, honey and seeds. rudehealth.com

Squirrel

Housed inside a 21 foot long fallen oak tree, South Kensington’s café-cum-tree house Squirrel would be worth a visit for the decor alone. Bonus: the food is really good too.

Weighhouse Street Deli

Deliciously Ella played a role in the national porridge resurgence, so it’s no surprise her deli serves up a tasty bowl of the good stuff.

You can choose your own toppings, with options including coconut chips, raspberry chia jam, coconut yoghurt and chopped hazelnuts. deliciouslyella.com
