Bobo & Wild

Bobo & Wild — "small place, big taste; support your local caffeine dealer" — is an independent London brunch and speciality coffee group born in lockdown. Owner Bobo, cooking since he was 12 and after 14 years in other people's kitchens, cafés and fine-dining restaurants, opened the first café in 2021 and built the menu around long-standing relationships with small suppliers: HG Walter meats, Lambton & Jackson smoked salmon, Lockdown Bake House sourdough and Covent Garden Market fruit and veg. All-day brunch, in-house pastries and cocktails at every site, with Neapolitan pizza from 5pm at Shoreditch, Stratford and St Albans and a smokehouse and robata grill at Wanstead. Seven cafés: Shoreditch (Gainsborough Studios), Clapham, South Woodford, Stratford (East Village), Wanstead, Chigwell and St Albans (Ventura Park).
