Solid Local Spot in the Heart of Brixton – Good, But Not Exceptional Located in the centre of Brixton, this café is a solid choice for a casual meal. It’s got a friendly vibe and has clearly established itself as a popular local favourite. While there’s a lot to appreciate here, there are also a few drawbacks that hold it back from being truly outstanding. Food: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) The food is decent but not exceptional. It’s cooked well and meets the basic expectations of a traditional café breakfast. You won’t walk away disappointed, but you’re unlikely to be wowed either. There’s also limited flexibility with the menu—customising your breakfast results in extra charges per item, which can make a simple meal unnecessarily expensive. Overall, it’s adequate and edible, but the food isn’t the standout feature of this café. Service: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Service is consistently good. Staff are friendly, responsive, and attentive. Orders arrive quickly with minimal wait time, and the team seems to genuinely care about customer experience. While not luxurious or high-end, the service is solid and dependable worthy of a 4 out of 5. Price & Value for Money: ★★★½☆ (3.5/5) Considering its central Brixton location, the pricing is fair. A recent visit with friends—covering a variety of food and drinks—came to £30.50, which felt reasonable for the amount and variety. That said, charging per item for custom breakfasts can inflate costs quickly. Ingredient quality matches the pricing—nothing gourmet, but by no means poor. Atmosphere & Setting: ★★★★☆ (4/5) This café has a warm, bustling vibe. It’s clearly a local favourite, often busy, with a comfortable and relaxed environment. It’s the kind of place that locals return to, and that says something. It doesn’t try too hard just a solid, unpretentious place to eat and catch up. Average Rating: ★★★★☆ (3.6/5) Total Score: 14.5 out of 20 Conclusion: This café offers a dependable and pleasant dining experience in the heart of Brixton. While the food isn’t particularly creative or standout, the solid service, fair pricing, and lively local atmosphere make it a worthwhile stop. A good choice if you’re nearby and want something familiar and easy but not one to go out of your way for.

Great value food and I really enjoyed my omelette, salad and chips. Lovely to look out on the comings and goings of Market Row.
