"I type this with fingers sticky from the incredible cinnamon pretzel I've just finished. Sip&Rise is magnificent in every way, from the selection of exquisite foods through to the warm and welcoming owner. The true heart of Kensington. P.s. Their new hot food range is beyond great."

"The food is excellent and the staff is extremely friendly. I felt welcome the minute I walked through the door. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat or to try one of their delicious coffees, smoothies or milkshakes the next time you’re in Kensington. You won’t be disappointed. 10 out of 10!"

"This place is the best place to eat in Kensington, the atmosphere is vibrant with lovely and helpful staff. The food is greatly made fresh every day. My compliments to the chef who is the success of this business. That's why I keep coming every week. They are superb."

"Cute bakery in Kensington! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We grabbed a croissant to eat a table outside. It’s was super fresh and tasty. There were tons of delicious baked goods inside. This is a great go-to spot on the west side of Kensington!"

I wandered in here on a chilly, rainy day last month while visiting from Los Angeles and it remains one of the highlights of my trip. Beyond the delicious food, the two gentlemen here were absolutely lovely - probably the friendliest people I met during my week in London. I will definitely go out of my way to return next time I’m in the city.
