It’s on Notting Hill Gate, obviously. Just steps from the station, opposite a pub, and surrounded by a thousand gorgeous people walking gorgeous dogs. You’ll stand outside with your paper bag, sipping a coffee, and think: “This is it. This is the dream.” Even if you’re just buying cat food.
Little Waitrose & Partners, London, Notting Hill Gate - cafes review
The shoppers are a mix: nannies with toddlers, long-time locals, and tourists who stumbled in looking for a loo. Everyone leaves with a smile. Or at least a free reusable bag—because you forgot yours again. That’s fine. It’s a souvenir.
The Verdict: Is It Worth the Hype?
Yes. One hundred percent yes. Is it pricier than a big Tesco? Absolutely. Does it matter when you can buy a single, perfect avocado without the anxiety of a huge produce section? No. It’s about the experience. The little moment of joy. The fact that you can pop in, grab a fancy sandwich, and be out in under three minutes.
So next time you’re wandering through Notting Hill, do yourself a favor. Duck into Little Waitrose & Partners. Buy the truffle honey. Say hi to the staff. And remember: small shops, big personality. It’s the perfect little slice of London life.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to buy that orchid I mentioned. And maybe some cheese. Again.
