Insta Review: The Locals Cafe, Chelsea

July 11, 2019

*Words below are taken from my Instagram post for this food Item, possibly with some additional thoughts/ideas * 

I’d love to be ‘a local’ at @thelocals_cafe… 🤣🤣
The Locals has an amazing brunch menu with a great mix of 🌱Vegan, 💚Vegetarian & Omni options from smoothie bowls, avocado toast, shakshuka, pancakes etc.. Plus its right out of the way from busy streets, in an apartment complex, so it’s like a little oasis in London.

And, not to say that this should be a factor in your ‘brunch choosing’ decisions. But, personally, I find this a very Instagrammable brunch in London. It is slightly on the expensive side. But, at the same time, I really enjoyed absolutely everything I tried so I was happy to pay the amount.

What we Ordered from The Locals Cafe, Chelsea :

The Locals Cafe, Chelsea, SW London review. Brunch, vegetarian friendly and vegan friendly brunch in London. Smoothie bowls, chai latte, folded eggs, eggs royale. instagrammable brunch in London. charcoal smoothie bowl, truffle folded eggs and eggs royale

. 🤤Activated Charcoal Smoothie Bowl (🌱 Ve) – avocado, banana & apple smoothie w/ berried, coconut and omega seeds.
👍 You can never go wrong with a smoothie bowl! The inclusion of Avocado in this one really made the mix super creamy and R & I ate it like dessert. Yumm!
💷 £8.50

.
🤤Truffle & Wild mushroom folded eggs (💚 V) – on sourdough toast
👍 What is this magic?! How do they make the eggs look like this, someone please tell me. Either way, this was absolutely delicious! the truffle oil was juicy and added amazing flavour to the dish and the portion size is perfect. Would happily eat again!
💷 £11

.
🤤Eggs Royale – w/ smoked salmon & hollandaise on a fresh brioche bun
👍 This was R’s dish. His words ‘honestly, beautiful! Everything was really well balanced and there wasn’t a single negative element’- I tried some of the hollandaise sauce and 👌👌👌. Also , I haven’t really taken a great photo to show how cute that little ‘bread top hat’ type presentation is.
💷 £13

R also ordered a cheeky rose latte, which went down a treat.

I admit, I haven't HAD a pork pie in almost 20 years, so I can't say anything as to how accurate it is as a 'mock' product, BUT - it is one of my favorite new finds this January, so far!! 🤤🧡
.
The filling is tender and packed with flavor - and not too dry either! It's not very firm, which I imagine is different to actual pork pies, but I think it's delish! It would also work as an amazing sausage roll filling too 🧡
.
Who else has tried these? What do you think?☺️ 
P.s. is it snowing where you are ? Cause it sure isn't here 😭

If I could get up the guts (which I probably won't), I'd definitely go back to get some bits that I've missed! Like the ice-cream 🍨 and their new meatball marinara sub!!- which look delish!

I can't believe Spooky Season is upon us and I haven't had a single chance to get back in the kitchen to whip up some more Spook-tastic treats ( and I have a whole list!)
.
.
What with the house move, uni deadlines and other life distractions - I've barely had time to get in the kitchen. Even more since I now temporarily don't actually have a kitchen 'of my own' to use at will :'(

Ingredients:
Banana🍌
Vegan Yogurt
Natural Sweetener of choice ( maple, agave)
AND the secret ingredient - dutch processed cocoa ( the flavor is intense so it's good to mix it with a little normal cacao but the color won't be as dark)

I'm just having one of those months... where all I I'm just having one of those months... where all I want is chocolate 🍫🍫🤤
So I've sent R out to go buy the ingredients to make these vegan truffles😂
.
.
Just four ingredients‼ to creamy, chocolatey goodness!

225g/8oz Dark Chocolate
1/2 cup + 2tbsp/160ml Coconut Cream
1-1 1/2tbsp Maple Syrup
1-2tsp Natural flavouring ( optional)
and lots and lots of toppings like cacao, crushed nuts, fruit powders, coconut, etc. 
.
.
1: Roughly chop the chocolate🍫 (the smaller the better) and place in large bowl
2: Bring the coconut cream up to just-before-boiling level in a small pan.
3: Pour the coconut milk over the chocolate and cover with a tea towel to trap the heat for a minute or so.
4: Add the syrup, flavoring and begin stirring in the center until you have a thick, smooth ganache
5: Place in the fridge to chill until firm to the touch
6: Use a spoon or small melon baller to portion the chocolate and roll into balls 
7: Dip into the toppings of your choice and then place back in the fridge for 15-20 mins, to chill. 
EAT THEM ALL 🧡🧡🧡

Drizzle them with maple syrup, orange juice and zest, and vanilla extract and leave to marinate ‼😍

These simple, juicy macerated strawberries can then be used to top🍨 yogurt dishes, 🍦ice-cream, French toast, 🥞pancakes, 🍰cake….. Or just spooned up straight from the bowl!🤤🤤

Review‼! Warning – Look away now if you don’ Review‼! Warning – Look away now if you don’t want to read me gushing about these 🤤ooey gooey, salted caramel filled brownie eggs from @koco.brownies Plus, they have 🌱Vegan & non vegan options!
.
These bad boys are only stocked once a month ( that may change), so I nabbed them quick, when I saw they were available again. .
We got 1 of the vegan versions ( for me) and one dairy ) for Rhys, plus a cheeky extra Chocolate orange brownie because, mama may I?! 🧡🧡
.
Popped them in the fridge for a couple of hours when we first received them then chopped them open and witnissed pure genius! I mean .. chocolate AND brownie AND salted caramel, all in one compact egg. Yumm! Plus the brownie is fudgy and rich and the caramel was moreish and definitely not sparse ( just the way I like it). .
We ate half of the egg per sitting, to keep them going for longer and now dreaming for more. Plus, Koko brownies also have brownie melt pots and truffles, and a variety of other goodies that I am not trying to convince myself I don’t need ( but I do! ❤)🤤🤤
.
Plus, they’re Gluten-free, Dairy-free, and even refined sugar free!! And yet still SO delicious!!
