An introduction to Down to Earth: Organic Cafe in Kensington

About us

Previously known as Luscious Organic, we have preserved all the good things you have always loved about Luscious Organic and built up on it, having expanded the space and the range of products and services on offer.

 

Healthy eating

Down to earth is a truly independent, organic vegetarian and vegan café, restaurant and shop. We offer our customers a delicious selection of nutritious food and drinks together with a range of sustainable and ethical organic lifestyle products from organic wine to face and beauty creams.

We are passionate about our organic, meat-free alternatives and use only the highest quality organic ingredients in our nutritious meals, juices, smoothies and sorbets.

We cater for all dietary requirements offering options for not only vegetarians and vegans,but wheat-free, sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free menus. As well as our raw food dishes, which are fast becoming the talk of the town.

All our packaged products use bio-degradable materials and we cut our own waste to a minimum by buying fresh produce daily and using it straight away. Any by-products from our kitchen go to feed the cows in our Harrow farm.

 

Organic is our passion and we stick to it

Our organic food is produced using the purest methods; no synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, radiation, industrial solvents or chemical food additives allowed.

By its nature environmentally sound, sustainable and animal friendly, we work hard to ensure that the organic produce we offer always meets the highest of standards: Our own.

Healthy Food at Down to Earth: Organic Cafe in Kensington

Healthy Food

Why not try our increasing selection of raw foods today. They are delicious, packed with nutrients and completely and utterly guilt-free!

 

Why go raw?

We absorb more nutrients from raw food as they haven't been lost in the cooking process, and so it has many health benefits such as an increase in energy levels, improving your skin, eyesight and boosting concentration levels. By eating raw foods you become better aware of what kind of food your body needs.

We make our selection of raw food dishes using only the finest quality local organic vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds.

What's on offer?

Our pastas are totally wheat free: enjoy our mouth-watering raw courgette pasta and raw food lasagne of portobello mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and nuts.

Try dishes like beetroot ravioli; cauliflower couscous; tartar of courgette and avocado; raw pizza made with buckwheat; bruschetta and our delicious raw chocolate desserts free from dairy, gluten and sugar.

See a sample menu of what's on offer.

 

Guilt-free cakes

Welcome to our boutique baking paradise, full of vintage allure and Retro Americana feel. We take inspiration from traditional cakes to produce naturally sweetened, gluten, wheat and dairy free versions.

Our range includes everyone’s favourites but completely guilt-free, including Red Velvet, German Chocolate and Boston Cream. Our vegan cakes include chocolate with gelatine-free marshmallows and our cupcakes are too numerous to list! Every piece of cake is a labour of love.

Dairy-free sorbets

Our freshly-made sorbets are a dairy-free and sugar-free alternative to ice-cream, with no preservatives.

We blend fresh fruit, add a little bit of agave nectar and a tiny bit of water. A clever Italian sorbet making machine then uses compressed air to create a smooth, velvety sorbet with a rich texture and heavenly taste.

Try our tangy and refreshing lime & mint flavour.

Our farm in Harrow

Our farm

Just minutes out of the City is our farm in Harrow, Middlesex.

 

Grisdyke Farm

The gently flowing fields of Grimsdyke estate located in Harrow Weald, in Northwest London are the home to our rare breed cattle.

The farmhouse is best known as the home of dramatist W.S. Gilbert, who lived there for the last two decades of his life before his tragic death.

It has since been converted into a hotel and the surrounding farmland is owned and managed by us.

 

Red Poll Cattle

Just minutes away from London, the farm is a host to 16 cows and one bull (named Andy), as well as a recent new arrival who is already breaking hearts.

The cattle benefit from Down to Earth and We love having them on the farm.

We sincerely hope you enjoy finding out more about them over the coming months when we launch our organic lifestyle blog.
