BLANCO CHISWICK

Blanco Chiswick is the brunch spot you didn't know you needed. With its cute outdoor courtyard and a vibe that screams 'I came for the toasties and stayed for the affogatos,' it's a solid pick for lazy weekends. Sara N raves about the variety of brunch plates and the ability to customize your toasties, while K Oh is ready to give the lattes a marriage proposal. Staff like Vicky and Ellie shine in service, keeping the atmosphere lively and filled with good coffee and brunch cheer.

But let's not get too carried away. While the Turkish eggs had Henry Stafford swooning, some reported the coffee could use a bit more oomph. Though the ambiance is cozy and the pancakes shine, we've got to keep it real—this place is reliable but doesn't set the world on fire. Still, you can count on a good time and even better food without any drama. Perfect for a casual catch-up or a remote work session over a poached egg.
