I spent all day hiding in the cafe from work. Working from there instead of the office. Found it easy and non hurried. The food, delicious and not expensive! The coffee, mmmmmm tasty. And it seems to have community feel to it, where people care for the place and the owners/staff in the café.

An underrated gem in Streatham.Simple but delicious food at a decent price.Friendly owner and staff.It is small in space and can be too noisy for some people as it's alongside the busy road with constant traffic, but you cannot complain about the convenience given it's location.I do hope smokers who visit here can be more considerate of others around them and try not to smoke when many people are sitting and eating right next to their table.
