Karak Chaii Acton

the tea here is the reason to come. karak chaii on acton high street does the spiced milk tea that a lot of london cafes gesture at but rarely commit to, and the small plates and vegetarian breakfast options give you a proper reason to stay rather than just pass through. brunch on a weekend makes particular sense if you're somewhere along the w3 corridor and want something that isn't a chain doing avocado toast on autopilot. the regulars clearly feel the pull of this place, and that kind of loyalty on a busy high street doesn't come from nowhere. if you're deciding between a quick coffee and a longer sit, lean toward the longer sit. order the tea.
