Found of the traditional snacks, especially the Bibingka (Coconut Rice Cake). You should try it, and will come back for more. The coffee options are all espresso-based. Hopefully, they will serve filter coffee soon.

Very cute pastry shop with delicious baked goods from the Philippines as well as creative drinks. I had Bibingka (traditional and coconut flavored) and Pandesal (which the shop assistant described as the equivalent of brioche bun). Both are very nice

Interesting! Small place, very little signage outside. Almost went to the other coffee shop across the street. Very nice staff, trying to deliver an alternative coffee experience. Tried a chocolate pastry, would describe it as a semi steamed tart with chocolate topping. Good to try once.

Such a lovely place. Their pandesal is absolutely incredible, I arrived way too late to get an ube on so I’ll have to come back. I had for the first time of my life a bibingka, had the last one which was Chocolate churros. This thing was so fricking good that I walked to their other bakery down Battersea Park road to get more!!!!

This place is it one of the best coffee, food and sweets shop. It is a true London gem. Everything is freshly done and everything tastes so good. The staff are really friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is very positive and cozy, it almost feels like you are in the cozy shop of the sitcom FRIENDS. Every time I visit the creamery I end up spending about 2 hours in. I love going to that place it has it all savory, sweet, hot and cold. With friendly staff around. I love it!

I recently visited there and was absolutely impressed by the entire experience! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming.The staff is incredibly friendly, always greeting customers with a warm smile and providing excellent service. The coffee is outstanding — rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Snacks were fresh and delicious. You can tell that everything here is made with high-quality. It is a hidden gem that I highly recommend.

As a weekly visitor to Bermondsey, I struggled to find a good coffee and relaxing environment to sit in, Monmouth got it completely right here. Service and personability of the staff was such a stand out, good food and coffee as always.

Monmouth Coffee Bermondsey is a spacious, welcoming addition to the neighborhood with some standout features: ✅ Delicious Coffee: Oat lattes made with Oatly Barista (£4)—delicious and comparable to top specialty coffee shops. ✅ Eco-Friendly: No disposable cups, only returnable ones with a £5 deposit—a great sustainability initiative. ✅ Warm Atmosphere: Homely wooden decor, dog- and family-friendly, with thoughtful touches like bag hooks at every seat. ✅ Local Pastries: High-quality baked goods from a local bakery. ✅ Specialty Coffee: Beans from various origins available to purchase by the kilo. Things to Note: ❗ No WiFi Yet: Not ideal for work; mobile data also struggles indoors. ❗ Limited Hours: Closes early at 3 p.m. most days. ❗ Cold Inside: It can feel a bit chilly—most people kept their jackets on. Overall, a promising café with room to grow. Perfect for coffee lovers and a great spot to relax and catch up with friends!

Really nice new venue. Plenty of seating that's well spaced out. I like that you're not squished next to other tables etc. I feel like this area has been screaming out for a coffee shop open on weekdays so very happy to see this place open. The coffee is delish and the staff are sweet and friendly. If doing take out, do take your own cup!

Great new outpost of Monmouth to expand on their old spot in the railway arches. Always super friendly staff and rarely a wait. This place has multiple seating options and a loo, and is open during the week with everything from pain au chocolat to canelles to quiche to snack on. Lots to draw people to this buzzing location right in the heart of the food scene.

Fantastic addition to the local coffee scene around Bermondsey station. So nice that Monmouth has expanded into this space with ample seating. Same great coffee, and also pastries from Little Bread Pedlar, which are baked around the corner. You can buy freshly roasted beans here as well, which I do every week for brewing at home. Super friendly staff and expertly made espresso beverages mean that I will be here quite often!

I am beyond thrilled that Kapihan has opened their new location in Battersea. If you want true Filipino coffee and bakery this is the place for you. Super friendly staff, relaxing decor and atmosphere and superb coffee. A must for me are their 85% chocolate, Pandesal and their famous Bibingkas. An absolute MUST.

What a great place to stop for a coffee. The staff were friendly and attentive. The place was super busy, but still places to sit. The traditional Filipino cakes were well made fresh on site. The coffee was very high quality. We wish this team much success in 2025.

What a lovely place! I love how they elevate the classic Filipino pastries. I’ve had the Buko Ube Pie and to me it was life changing. (We don’t have Filipino pastry shops in the Netherlands.) So much buko in a pie, in combination with the ube custard, in a flaky skin; It was just magnificent. I also got the Pan de Asado, Chorizo & 3 cheese pandesal and the Chocolate Churro Bibingka. All so incredible. Both pans were fluffy and moist, not dry at all. The asado tasted great. I liked the chorizo one, as it was something different, but my fave was absolutely the asado. The Biningka was just *chef’s kiss*. I also got a cappuccino (really a sidenote compared to all the pastries), they have great coffee! Would absolutely visit again next time I’m in London. If they had this place in Amsterdam, I would without a doubt be a regular.

This place deserves nothing less than 5 stars! I’ve been here three times, and it just keeps getting better. The coffee is exceptional—the best in the area. The service is always friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The blueberry muffin is delicious, and the cozy seating makes it a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Highly recommend!

The best coffee in the whole area, if you are a connoisseur. Impeccable service, really friendly and attentive staff and very talented and well trained. Best coffees and matches, avo on toast and pastries. They do not have a kitchen as it is a small coffee shop so no eggs. And seating is hard wood, but otherwise very conveniently located right at exit of Battersea Park train station, on the bus stop. Highly recommended.

Really great coffee, lovely staff, and nice bakes on offer. My only complaint is a lack of gluten free baked good options. But that aside, I will happily keep coming here going forward!

Flat white is average - slightly disappointed as there was not much aroma from the bean. Microfoam was amazingly done tho. Tried a bunch of the pastries - namely the ricotta cheesecake, miso cookie and cinnamon buns & the gay one sandwich which were all alright. We particularly enjoyed the naughty one sandwich!

Tried both the peanut butter/ chocolate cookie and the cinnamon bun. Both delish and vegan. Their filter coffee and cold brew also come highly recommended. They also stock a good brand of kombucha. Lovely friendly service.

This place is my go-to neighbourhood spot! The staff are always quick and friendly, and the coffee/pastries are delicious. My only note is they always seem to run out of croissants, no matter what time I get there. I would love to see more stocked so I could actually try one!

The best café this side of the river, and the other side too. The pastries were amazing, the coffee was amazing and the service was a solid 10! Had a phenomenal almond croissant and berry matcha (highly recommend!). Had to take some food home for friends, this place is a must! The guys running it were super friendly too, stay around for long enough and you might see a cute dog or two! The whole vibe is absolutely worth the walk down from Clapham Common. It has a welcoming vibe and unmatched homely aesthetic. Will be going again soon!

This is the 3rd time I’ve been here in the last month. The pastries are the best in the area. My favorites are the pain au hazelnut, simit and the Turkish pastry (typical Suboregi). It’s a lot of work to achieve those Turkish pastries in this quality so hands down, this place is good. They usually run out of some items during the day. It’s also real value for money. The owners are two great guys, Koray and Eray. You can find out more on the place and the beautiful pastries on their social media accounts.

Visiting London on my way to NYC for my sons graduation and staying at Battersea Reach Apartment complex. This beautiful Deli is walking distance from the apartment and went there for my morning coffee . It was such a good experience, great coffee and delicious bakery stuff and staff is very efficient and friendly 😀.

Absolutely loved my experience at Caserta Deli! The food was exceptional, especially the Casatiello Napoletano, must-try! The flavors were authentic Italian and delicious. My only suggestion would be to ensure the food is warmed a bit more for optimal enjoyment. Also, a minor observation, the staff should be more vigilant about keeping the floor clear of rubbish. On a brighter note, it’s a dog-friendly place, which is a huge plus for pet owners like me, I highly recommend this spot for a tasty and authentic Italian dining experience!

Pass by it today and tried few things for take away. All the food we had was delicious fresh and very reasonably priced. We tried plain croissant which tasted very good, Nutella croissant was super delicious, vegetarian sandwich and it was fresh and good and finally a pastry staffed with orange ricotta and it was delicious. Customer service was okay and Definitely going back.

We hosted a private dinner party at Caserta and we couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome. Asad, Fatima, Gianluigi and Valeria were incredible to work with and helped us plan every detail to make it a special evening for us. The space is perfect for private events. With a delicious menu they curated a from a top Mayfair Italian restaurant, the space was completely candlelit and accompanied by tunes playing from their vintage record player. It was the ideal mix of romanticism and intimacy that made it a memorable evening. We would love to work with Caserta again for our next event.

Crol and Co South Bermondsey is a true gem! I thoroughly enjoyed their decaf latte, which was smooth and flavorful, perfect for those looking to enjoy coffee without caffeine. Their turmeric latte was a delightful surprise, offering a soothing blend of spices that was both comforting and invigorating. The cafe exudes a wonderful vibe, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that's ideal for relaxing or catching up with friends. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure every visit is a pleasant experience. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or looking to try something new, Crol and Co South Bermondsey delivers on quality and ambiance. With their superb lattes and top-notch service, it's definitely deserving of five stars!

Having always been a fan of Crol and Co’s London Bridge location, I was excited to finally check out their South Bermondsey shop while in the area. The coffee here—my oat latte (£4.40, eat-in, served in a reusable cup)—is just as excellent as at their other spot, smooth and well-balanced. The shop itself is tiny but charming, with a cozy, homey vibe that’s inviting for a quick break. However, I was disappointed to learn they don’t allow laptops on weekends, which caught me off guard as I was planning to kill a few hours before my next appointment. While the quality is on point, I likely won’t return due to the combination of location and the no-laptop policy. That said, if you happen to be in South Bermondsey and are looking for a quick coffee stop, it’s a delightful option!
