Always friendly and great tasting coffee. Usually get a takeaway but today I worked an hour (good wifi) and I had the avocado on sourdough which was really good - perfectly ripe and a generous portion. Complimentary carafe of iced water with lemons was a nice touch on a hot day. Highly recommend.

Tasty food! Good coffee! the spanish tortilla was really tasty, also enjoyed the relish and cucumber pickles. The lentil patties were filling, and tastier with a little bit of salt. The seating and interior was so nice!

I cannot recommend Sour Leaf Cafe enough! It’s a great spot in the area serving outstanding speciality coffee and the food is just incredible. It’s a small team but they go above and beyond with their service every single time. Tried out a new menu item, the bacon and egg rosti - 10/10 can’t wait to have it again! A great spin on the classic fry up.

Top quality ingredients, flavor combinations, and overall attention to detail (music, ambience, care in service). The homemade banana bread and muffins are also a must. Reliable quality and absolutely delicious. Thank you for the level of care you put into your food and service and all you bring to the community, SLC!

Gayle’s Coffee Bar

A very special cafe with an even more special owner. A very recently opened independent Cafe with lots of seating options, big windows which allows plenty of sunlight, and a large selection of homemade food and drink options. Also the best chai latte I've ever had, made by the lovely volunteer batista Levi. The owner makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in, and is always on hand to help or have a good chat. Feels like being at your mum's house. Please please please visit 🙏

A great concept with ‘ Pay it forward’ Love it. We live in the one of the most expensive places in the world. It takes one kind gesture from a stranger, for someone who really needs positivity, great surroundings, great food & drinks. If you are in & around the SE5 area, you have to pay them a visit. Keep up the great work Team Gayle’s CHARLES CLK

Lovely stylish cafe, friendly staff, good food. We had a simple coffee party after my daughter's wedding. There were 16 of us. We combined 2 large tables to form a big one. We enjoyed cakes, sandwiches, coffee drinks. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Gayle's.

When I’m nearby for work, I always come to Gayles. The food there is fresh, wholesome and very generous. Also their hot chocolate is one of the best! The service there is friendly and very much like a community. Ladies keep up the great work and thank you for taking caring of us.

When you want bad to be good, go here! Always consistently delightful. Excellent coffee super tasty sandwiches and cakes and pastries to die for. If you want a real lift make time to sit in and soak up the vibes, friendly, meticulous service. I have no idea how they can do what they do at the price point👍🏾 I even forgot to use my blue light card. Hats off the helping to coffee connoisseurs community.

Good service, good value and nice vibe inside but the coffee and pastry was a let down. Dirty chai was weak and didn't taste like anything really. The pastel de nata was cold and stale, maybe from the day before but at least both the coffee and pastry was £5.40.

Stumbled upon this place after a hospital visit as I was aimlessly wandering down the street. Very glad I did!! Lovely, chatty, friendly baristas we had a good laugh! Super comfortable cosy vibe inside so I perched at a table to have my croissant and coffee and read my book. 🥐☕️ Opted for the double cheese, tomato, sun-dried tomato, caramelised onion jam croissant, heated (£3.50). Was perfect crunchy melted goodness, thoroughly enjoyed this. Soy flat white was delish. Great prices. Busy little place, constant flow of people. Easy to see why! Lots of locals it seemed who knew the baristas, had lots of fun chats and giggles. Definitely coming back. Thank you very much! P.s Loved the Halloween themed decor, special drinks and treats 🎃

Genuinely one of the best coffee experiences I've had (cortado). Really nice greeting, conversational, friendly and showed a real interest in our plans for the day. The coffee was fantastic, and the cake was so tasty. Definitely will be coming back to see you again, thank you. From, Cortado guy today

NoNo... more like YesYes! My go-to coffee place for a chill break in Brunswick; lovely staff; their coffee blend is very good and there's plenty of choice pastry-wise.

Love this place, feels like such a hidden gem. The coffee is delicious and the selection of local bakes is great. My only complaint is that the cinnamon bun (which are out of this world) portions, served on the weekends only, get smaller and smaller every time I come, but the price stays the same at a not insignificant £3.50. This is not enough to reduce the rating because it really is fab here and the staff are always lovely

A surprising & tiny coffee hut with freshly baked goods. Excellent bread, cakes, fantastic coffee & lots of other interesting locally produced foods. Amy Poon’s excellent Soya sauce, local honey & jam. In the beautiful setting of Brunswick Park

came at around 2pm on a saturday, and they still had a good amount of their baked goods left! the shop also has a selection of goods, like coffee, eggs, and beans. i got an oat latte and a vegan PB & chocolate cookie. the coffee was really nice, and the cookie was thick and chewy! the staff was incredibly helpful and helped me to choose a coffee from their own micro roasters to bring home and ground it up for me to use in my cafetière. i like the outdoor seating area too. keep it up guys, thank you!

I’m not being hyperbolic when I say this is the best coffee I’ve ever had. More accurate would probably be my favorite. The iced hazelnut mocha is something I’ll have to try and replicate at home now it’s so good. Kiddos enjoyed the pastries. My wife loved her toasted marshmallow latte. Only complaint is we can’t take it home with us.

I went here today and got an almond & chocolate croissant and it was absolutely amazing with a hot chocolate!! Couldn’t get enough so I added the chilli and pork sausage roll and a lychee, mango, peach ice tea. It was very refreshing! We also had a pleasant service with the waitress, she was very hardworking and made us feel very welcomed.

A cozy coffee shop situated in a very convenient location. In front of Bowyer Place Z bus stop in Camberwell Road, London. Across is Burgess Park area. Also a bus ride from Kings College Hospital. The staff very friendly and accommodating. Choices of pastry, croissants, and vegan sausage rolls (big portion). We tried their specialty salted caramel pistacchio iced coffee. Highly recommended. On sausage rolls we tried the vegan fajita and a sweet chilli one. We also have their apple spiced fruit tea infusion to finish. Limited seating spaces but with free wifi. Good if you want to meet friends and family for a coffee, tea and catching up. Supporting local businesses. A place to visit and to try their specialty coffee. Will drop by again if in the area. Its worth it.

Found by chance as I was in the area having dropped off a friend at King College Hospital in nearby Denmark Hill. I am a Blue Badge holder so can park pretty much anywhere but I wanted a quiet street. This little cafe was perfectly located with the park, and the operator was super helpful even taking time to bring out my Hot Chocolate and bacon sandwich to my table. At the time of my visit they were from Quito Ecuador! Husband and wife team, it was a popular place for local dog walkers who sat on the various benches and tables outside. There was even bowls of water for the dogs!

What a hidden gem!! My favourite cappuccino and South American family owned south London park cafes, thus far. The guy with glasses makes the most amazing coffee. Honestly, the most pleasant, friendliest and warm welcoming bunch of people I’ve met. I always return when I’m in the area. Such a lovely chilled place to have a coffee. Their music choice is a vibe and i always feel comfortable and welcomed here. A nice chilled spot to meet and make friends or to bring family and they have a bandstand sometimes music is played nearby on certain events and occasions.Highly recommend, their coffee which never disappoints. Muchas Gracias! 😬

Everything you could want from a London caff. Service is friendly and everyone gets a warm welcome, whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time. Expect generous portion fry ups, proper cups of tea and high quality sausages. True South London staple. Support your local caff!

Been in Mary's quite a few times over the years, it's just had a fab facelift but this hasn't affected the friendly atmosphere nor the affordable prices. Nothing is ever a problem for H.Food is always yum, cooked by the lovely Hatice. You can't get a sausage like theirs anywhere else. So if your looking for good homecooked food head to Marys.

I went into Mary’s Cafe this morning for breakfast with family including 2 little ones and they were very welcoming and attentive. When the food arrived it looked great, I’m always funny with fried eggs in a cafe as they are cooked with other things and make them crispy and burnt. However these eggs were cooked perfectly and tasted great as did the rest of my food! The sausages were from Hayward’s butchers and tasted lovely. I had the mini Mary’s breakfast and was more than enough for me to eat. Thank you guys and well done!!!

Visited her by chance as the other eating place a few doors down was packed (I have previously eaten there and had the pancakes and I would say Caffe Pronto was much better). Went with the savoury American breakfast and it was very good. The pancakes were fluffy, the turkey bacon and scrambled egg were both very good. The staff were also really friendly and welcoming.
