Love this place!! Coffee is great and food superb. The staff become like family after coming regularly. They know exactly what you want to eat and have great recommendations. A tribute to neighbourhood café like in the old days. Also, their music is spot on! Great tunes...🎼

Raison d’Etre on 28/08/18
What a great find! Raison d’Etre is located on the very-French Bute Street in South Kensington. This café is a short walk from the V&A, where we found ourselves peckish and in desperate need of caffeine. Thanks to a very good rating and numerous positive reviews on Trip Advisor, we landed here and were thoroughly pleased!
Raison d’Etre is a cozy café with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, we felt very much at home. Matt, the owner, is a personable and charismatic guy. He and his staff provide top-notch customer service in a laid-back and relaxed atmosphere. They do a great job taking care of their customers and have tons of regulars as a result. The coffee is, hands down, the best we had in London. The sandwiches and pastries we had were great as well. Our favorites were the Raison d’Etre baguette and the Pain aux Chocolat…totally crave-inducing! We are definitely missing it now that we are back in the States! Everything we had was great, our only regret was that we were not able to have lunch here as much as we would have liked. Finding this place added to the enjoyment of our vacation in a big way!
They're closed for several weeks for summer vacation. Call ahead. Too bad. I was looking forward to trying it. I ate at the tiramisu shop across the street instead. I didn't want to rate them down for being closed but obviously I have no idea what rating I would really have given them.
