2. Les Filles

Les Filles used to be called LLS Cafe Hampstead. If you’re looking for a vegan cafe in Hampstead or just somewhere where you can get healthy, clean, wholesome food, this is the best place to eat in Hampstead because their ethos is all about clean food!

Les Filles in Hampstead is very small with inside seating only but once inside it’s really nice as it’s cosy and homely. Otherwise, you can get a takeaway coffee and cake, so add this to your list of Cafes in Hampstead to visit!

3. The Buttery Cafe

Looking for a slightly unique cafe? Then The Buttery Hampstead is for you because it is located within Burgh House Hampstead Museum. 

There are a few museums in Hampstead but Burgh House is the prettiest in my opinion and here you can sit inside or outside on their beautiful garden terrace (the only Garden cafe in Hampstead!) admiring the views of Hampstead’s stunning architecture! 

Located close to Hampstead Heath, offering a full English and European, Lunch, Brunch and Afternoon Tea menu this makes for one of the best cafes in Hampstead Heath!

4. Cafe Hampstead London

Cafe Hampstead is highly rated as one of the best places to eat in Hampstead due to its Middle Eastern-inspired menu serving fresh and tasty food.

The interior of Cafe Hampstead is elegant and modern and it offers a more upmarket experience if this is what you are looking when searching for cafes in Hampstead to visit.

They offer a breakfast menu as well as an all-day menu and they are open until midnight meaning it also works as a great restaurant in Hampstead to visit too!
