Raw Press Juice Cafe

I'm almost a little reluctant to tell people about this place. It's become my favourite dreaming and thinking space, plus it's a great place to bring people for meetings. Literally a three minute walk from Sloane Square tube station is Raw Press Juice Cafe, a place where meat, dairy, refined sugar and gluten are left out in the cold, and healthy goodies are in abundance. Although I did take these photos at the end of the day, so the juice and salads are not quite as plentiful as they are normally. 

It's all bout the juice these days, and it has to be cold-pressed so you don't lose any of the fibre and enzymes. Raw Press offer an array of flavours, ten in total to be precise, including the obligatory green juices. They also do yummy chocolate and coffee flavour nut mylks, and everything comes in large and small sizes. 

The decor of this place is sublime. It's almost like a blogger or Instagrammer came along and said what they'd find the most aesthetically pleasing. There's marble counters, pale wood, colourful accents, and even succulents on the tables. 

For breakfast you could have homemade granola, a chia pot, a smoothie, or an acai bowl. Lunch might be baked sweet potato with herb butter, green curry soup, or a nourishing salad. It's healthy-city here, but in a totally good way. Plus there's so many fantastic treats! You can get maple waffles, raw vegan cakes and brownies, and the most amazing peanut butter cups I've ever tried. 

I'm loving the toasters on tables as well, so you can have your artisan bread just how you like it, with as much nut butter as you fancy (see top photo). It's a bright, airy space, perfect for laptopping (free wi-fi, hello!) and for taking some blog flat lay photos (of things that aren't too big). Weirdly, each time I've visited there's only been young women in there, maybe that isn't weird for Chelsea. Everyone is busy at their laptop and working on something exciting (that's just my speculation, they might be watching cat videos), and there's a nice respectful vibe - people just letting people work and drink juice. 

If you're passing through Chelsea, I highly recommend popping in, if only to pick up a peanut butter cup. There's another branch in Mayfair too. Check out the website for full ingredients listings for all the juices, and see what's on the menu each week. I'm off before I start doing some puns with the word raw, bye!
