9 Hally’s

Since opening in 2013, Hally’s in Parsons Green has barely had an empty table. Friends, family, babies and dogs flock for breakfast and brunch at this laid-back Californian-style café. It’s impossible not to love this place – slung-together interiors that eludes million-pound restaurant designers, good-looking staff and excellent Cali-inspired food. There’s something for every mood: if it’s sweet, go for the ricotta pancakes with berries, fig, honey and crème fraiche; for a savoury mood, we’d recommend the avocado on sourdough with chilli, lemon and rocket.

10 Chairs and Coffee

Chairs and Coffee is right next to Manuka Kitchen and often gets overlooked in favour of its neighbour. But don’t walk past without stopping in for at least a cup of coffee. It is one of the best cups you’ll get in Fulham. If you have time pull up a chair – there are loads – and have a croissant or fresh pastry too, or take a load off and settle in for a full breakfast.

11 St Clements

A relative newcomer to Parsons Green, St Clements opened in the latter half of 2014 and brought with it a kitchen full of seasonal goodies. In the winter food is comforting and hearty, while in the summer it’s lighter and fresh. Organic porridge is served with grated apple, toasted coconut and honey, while eggs come with avocado, dukkah, chorizo and other exotic ingredients. The health-conscious are sure to find something they like between the spelt muffins and smoked mackerel with pink grapefruit.

12 The Power of Yoga Juice Bar

It makes perfect sense for a studio full of hungry, thirsty yoga bunnies to open a healthy-eating café to feed them post savasana. The Power of Yoga Juice Bar is a lovely little spot for breakfast in Fulham, it’s calm, quiet and smells lovely – a mix of the incense and freshly-made gluten-free treats. The juice bar specialises in juices (obviously!) and smoothies, with the likes of spirulina, almond milk and wheatgrass featuring highly. But you can also refuel with a solid breakfast too.

13 Fulham Palace Café

Combine brunch or breakfast with a spot of morning of culture at this cafe. For a quick bite, there’s bacon baps or a sausage sandwich in focaccia but if you’ve time to linger, order the Bishop’s Brunch (bacon, sausage, mushrooms, eggs and sourdough) – it’s the virtuous version of a full English or the Boston baked beans, with chorizo, feta, red peppers and toasted sourdough, which are served until 12pm. In the summer have your breakfast outside in the gardens.
