From ice-cream parlour to bistro kitchen, the London Dairy Café concept has evolved.

LDC Kitchen + Coffee is the new offering from the clever folk behind the popular ice cream brand and it has opened its doors in One JLT. Initially proposed to be a London Dairy Café, the team decided it was the perfect spot for its bold new venture. The cool upgrade of the much-loved original café concept brings an upscale and healthy menu, along with fresh deli, ice-cream selection and freshly baked bread and cakes.

LDC ’s new menu reads like a roll call of global favourites, including veggie eggplant shakshuka, slow-cooked French onion soup made with homemade stock, kung fu chicken burger, tagliatelle ragù, pan roasted salmon and steak frites. Everything is made in-house and was created by LDC’s Head of Culinary, chef Omar Basiony.

It’s a two-floored café filled with natural sunlight and there are smart working spaces for those working remotely, as well as a pet-friendly outdoor terrace. A grand communal table in the entrance captures a wonderful ethos of “everyone has a seat at our table”. The impressive teal bird artwork is reason enough to visit so head in and get your wings!

LDC Kitchen + Coffee at One JLT is open seven days a week from 7am-12 midnight and until 1am at the weekend.
