About illy Caffè

A welcoming South Kensington coffee bar serving illy espresso drinks in a spot that's easy to roll a buggy into, with a few outdoor seats for when the weather plays ball. The staff — Farhan, Dragos and Vanessa among them — have a genuine warmth that makes even a quick pit-stop feel unhurried, and highchairs are on hand if you need one. There's no dedicated children's menu or baby-changing room, so it's best suited to a short break with older kids or a baby in arms rather than a long family lunch.
