Lovely independent café in Kennington with a calm, Scandi feel and friendly service. We shared the Veg House breakfast, which came with poached eggs, avocado, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and beans — fresh, colourful and really satisfying. The toasted banana bread with Biscoff, ricotta and jam was soft, spiced and sweet in all the right ways. Coffee from Assembly was excellent as always. Spacious inside with blonde wood furniture, shelves of books and cards, and a large outdoor terrace at the back. Dog friendly and perfect for a relaxed morning. We returned and tried avocado on toast and a vegetarian bowl, both yummy.
