Cooked fresh, all day

Proper coffee & a warm welcome

More than a café, a little piece of the neighbourhood
Named after Zarathustra, the ancient Persian prophet of fire and light, our little café has been warming up West Kensington mornings for years. The name is grand; the welcome is wonderfully down-to-earth.
- Family-run and proudly independent, so you'll often be served by the owner.
- Generous portions and famously fair prices.
- Plenty of vegetarian options and sunny outdoor seating.
