“Just popped in to try an iced Greek coffee. Ended up having some delicious banana bread too. Such friendly owners. Definitely brightened up a very miserably rainy and windy day.”

Literally the best coffee in Tooting ! A lovely selection of delicious homemade bakes and Greek comfort food. Run by 2 of the friendliest & most welcoming people I’ve come across. I recommend the homemade chicken pie.

Atmosphere is cosy and warm, Food just as welcoming, warming, and a reminder of a place in the Mediterranean, With tea of warmer weather, In winter like a breath of fresh air. With service equally that you'd expect. Again and repeatedly perfect. Kol-C, #thepoetreviewer

“This place is a local gem in Tooting Broadway. We used to venture here when they were a few doors down from their current location and under the name 'Simply Breakfast' and have come to their current 'Mighty Tooting' place, they remember us each time which is reputable! The place is very clean and the service is so welcoming, friendly and jovial. Their food and drinks are made FRESH and SO DELICIOUS. Portion sizes are great. I'd have anything on the menu as I know I won't be disappointed. It's GREAT value for money. It's always a treat to have breakfast/brunch here. We're well pleased this is local to us! Kudos to all the staff front of house and behind the scenes! Pictures are from the last 3 times we've visited, we had something different each time lol!”

“Forty Coffee House is a charming little spot that’s perfect for grabbing a quick coffee or enjoying a cozy glass of wine. The pros definitely stand out—great WiFi, polite and **chilled** baristas, and a welcoming owner who is open to a chat if they aren’t too busy. The barista here really knows how to make the best coffee and chai latte, complete with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, and serves the most delicious pistachio doughnut in all of South London. It’s also a great spot to stop by on a rainy day, where you can sit by the window and watch the world go by. The place stays open until 10 PM, which is convenient, and it's always spotlessly clean, from the cozy interior to the well-maintained restroom. The decor is lovely, with artwork that adds to the mellow atmosphere, and they even host music events, further enhancing its wine bar vibe. A personal highlight: the owner is so polite that he even gave me free chips during one visit, which was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. Small things like that make the experience extra special. Their chai latte is a must-try, and the coffee is affordable compared to most spots in South London. And again, don’t forget about the pistachio doughnut—it’s hard to find anything as tasty and affordable nearby! However, it’s important to remember that Forty is more of a wine bar than a coffee shop, catering primarily to the wine-drinking crowd. Seating can be uncomfortable, with wooden boxes and cushions that don't encourage long stays. The space is small, with about 12-15 seats, and in colder months, the draft from the open door can make it feel quite chilly, so be ready to keep your coat on. Laptop use is discouraged in the evening, so it’s not the best place to get work done or settle in for hours. While the owner is nice, they don’t always engage with new customers much, and the place lacks that typical community coffee shop vibe you might expect. If you're a non-alcoholic drinker, you may find yourself wishing for more conversation and energy in the atmosphere. Overall, Forty is a great spot for a quick drink, or a coffee, or try the best chai Latte in south london, especially if you're into wine, but it’s not really the place for a long, cozy stay or making friends. Perfect for a rainy day stop, but if you’re hoping for a cafĂ© to spend hours working or socializing, it may fall short.”

“It was my first visit and I had the vegan breakfast and hot chocolate. This cafe has a cute, homey feel to it and the food was really yummy. I definitely recommend going there, but maybe it's better to go with a friend/loved one. I went there alone, just to treat myself but it got just a little busier, and luckily had my ear phones to block others out. Also I had to witness a man appearing to chat up the waitress while she was trying to show off her IG. So yes, you can find entertainment here if you are really bored or maybe someone special.”
