Cafe De Fred

We came here twice, and may go back again tomorrow before our flight. A friend recommended this café and we came immediately. We met Fred and Judith, both so friendly. This café is so cute and an intimate restaurant with a homey vibe. Easy to find using google maps, and service is fast. We got very basic items the first visit – the omelette, the baguette and Americano. So simple and so good, that we told them we'd be back to try the Jacket Potato (cute name lol) which is basically a delicious baked potato, and for the crepe. Jacket Potato was so delicious with Judith's home made chicken curry. We got the savory salmon crepe, aka galette, and then we finished off with a dessert crepe – strawberries, bananas and Nutella. I would say this is the best dessert crepe I've ever had. Judith was so generous with the fruit portions and the Nutella/fruit/crepe ration was really great. We enjoyed our second visit so much we said we'll come back tomorrow for one more breakfast. I'll update with what we get tomorrow!

Tasty chicken escalope in a baguette, home made lasagna and salad, eggs benedict on muffins. All day Traditional Full English Breakfast. Outside tables and friendly service in this Kensington cafe. Meet Fred ! They have great galettes made by Judith ! ( love the Poulet Harissa - roasted chicken, peppers,toms,red onions in harissa sauce, and cheese ). Very near The Design Museum and Holland Park. Today August Ist I had the veggie complete galette with salad and a coffee, and very nice it was . The galettes / crepes ( pancakes ) are gluten free.

We love this place! Friendly and relaxed with delicious food. Great veggie and vegan “English” breakfast and nice coffee. Owner operated. Close to Ken High Street. Recommended!! Update - we went back for brunch on Saturday and discovered new offerings - waffles, crepes and galettes! Amazing! We tucked into our meals before taking pics and soon we’d polished off every morsel!

You haven’t truly experienced Kensington until you’ve had the Full Monty at Cafe de Fred. This is probably the best breakfast I’ve had anywhere in the world. Not to mention Fred is the best host you could imagine. They always accommodated gluten free and added a personal touch. Can not recommend this place enough!!!!
