Set in the garden behind the Hermitage, this cafe serves a brunchy menu of Ottolenghi-style salads, sandwiches and light snacks. Its walls are glass, and the place is flooded with light; there are also chairs and tables outside. It's a dreamy spot on a sunny summer's day.
This is a good choice for families: children can play on the enclosed grass area and there are toys inside. The cafe is part of the Not for Sale social-enterprise model, providing training and employment for vulnerable people.
