Earlier this month, I paid a visit to Anya Cafe. This cafe is inspired by Anya Hindmarch and her brand (artistic style). The cafe is located on Pont Street in west London where Anya Hindmarch has a few shops, including her home store "Anya Life", her concept store and collaboration with Boots, and her designer shop. The cafe brings her creations into edible artwork.
I went to the cafe on Pont Street, and there is seating indoors and also inside/outside the front with heating. I decided to try a couple of different items on the menu. I had the gin and tonic, and I had one of the chubby hearts and the brown monster; there was also a white monster.
The signage around the cafe (and her other little shops) was simplistic and the artist's style. She often uses her illustrated eyes in her designs, and these were used in many of the items in the cafe and on the products and packaging.
She is also known for a chubby clouds installation, and one of the desserts paid a tribute to this.
The chubby heart was my actual favourite of the two desserts that I ordered. It was dark chocolate mousse with a raspberry flavour.
The monster cake was a hazlenut and vanilla flavour. It was a little too dry for my taste, but I loved the design.
I also photographed Anya Hindmarch's shopfronts. The chubby heart was in the window of one of the shops, and this was combined with Valentine's Day tribute "LOVE YOU".
At the end of last year, she had a collaboration with Boots on some of their items using her branding and a shop set up with her artistic style and play on the brand.
You may remember that I covered her chubby hearts in London over Valentine's Day a few years ago.
