Alma Cafe is a neighbourhood breakfast and lunch spot at 2–3 Rocks Lane in Barnes. The original branch has served the local community since 2016 and centres its menu on seasonal, nutritionally balanced food made with carefully sourced ingredients. Its bright daytime format suits a quick coffee, a relaxed brunch or a wholesome meal later in the day.
Breakfast and brunch choices include a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, avocado and Mexicana cheese, along with Turkish eggs, folded eggs with wild mushrooms and avocado on toast. The full breakfast combines eggs, sausages, bacon, beans, mushrooms and potatoes, while a vegetarian version uses halloumi and avocado. French toast, granola and açaí bowls offer sweeter starts.
The wider menu adds miso glazed salmon, ras el hanout chicken, grilled bavette steak and homemade falafel. These proteins can be served as focused individual dishes or paired with the café’s bowls and vegetable combinations. Salmon eggs, steak and eggs, and seasonal specials bring more substantial options to the daytime selection.
Fresh juices, smoothies and wellness shots sit alongside speciality coffee, tea and kombucha. Pastries, banana and walnut bread and other small treats suit a shorter visit, while meat free recipes are easy to find throughout the menu. Alma combines familiar brunch ingredients with bolder seasoning and a practical all day café style for Barnes diners.
