London Dairy Cafe | La Mer

Growing up, London Dairy has always had a special place in my heart for its exemplary variety and top notch quality of ice creams. So thank God then, that they’ve come up with a full fledged food menu at the London Dairy Cafe which includes all day breakfast, pasta and pizza, sandwiches, juices, hot beverages and a whole list of desserts. We visited their La Mer outlet on a weekday morning, and to sum it up in one word – it was bliss. The faint sunlight filtering through the shaded cafe, the sound of waves nearby and the cool breeze on a February morning made it just the right way to start the day with my girlfriend.

We ordered a bunch of different things from their menu – right from drinks to all day breakfast, salad, mains and of course dessert. Keep scrolling to read more about what we tried and what we loved.

We started with a couple of drinks. My friend went with a warm and soothing chamomile tea, while I decided to try out one of their detox drinks – Turmeric Skin Glow (because we all need a little glow in our lives, don’t we?). The tea was served in a pretty glass kettle, which went perfectly with the aesthetics of the cafe. The detox drink was love. It was slightly sweet, tangy and very refreshing, thanks to all that mint, ginger, orange, basil, lemon, pineapple and of course turmeric. These ingredients are known for their anti-aging properties that keep your skin glowing and help reduce acne.

From the all-day breakfast options, we tried their truffle omelette, which came with a side of sourdough bread triangles. Although the look of the omelette might not be very fancy, the taste – with all that truffle was really good. The egg in this was whisked with Italian truffle paste, and the omelette was topped with parmesan cheese and truffle oil. Next up was our salad course, and if there’s burrata on the menu then it’s simply futile to order anything else 😉 The burrata, as described by the staff (who highly recommended it) was perfect. Creamy, cheesy, and with all that tomato tart, the burrata came drizzled with basil pesto and the classic balsamic. Along with the salad we ordered a grilled vegetables pizza that came loaded with peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, mozzarella and more on a thin base. This one was super delicious like all the other dishes we tried. For desserts, instead of their ice creams we decided to try something that’s gotten more famous over the recent times, and has become one my favorites – milk cake. Their flavor options include classic, saffron and pistachio – and we opted for saffron. This was absolutely heavenly! Soft like a cloud, perfectly creamy, and not too sweet, the milk cake came with a saffron milk sauce on the side. I would order their milk cake again in the blink of an eye. Since London Dairy Cafe has plenty of tea and coffee varieties to try from including drip coffee, it was only fair to sample a couple of their coffee options too. Although we decided to have our coffees packed to go, they served it first in cups with the latte art and all so we could get some good shots. And then later on the way home, we sipped on our Cafe Latte and Cafe Mocha.
