I had a mint/green tea mix in a kettle and 2 madeleines - they were so yummy! It seems like a very nice place to meet a friend and converse or to simply go alone. Since I was there before closing they gave me free Nutella croissants to take with me and they were yummy! Surely didn't help my ongoing forever diet. I would definitely visit again.

I wandered in for a snack and found a large range of attractive savoury and sweet options. My eyes were caught by the spinach quiche which was somehow light but also filling, and then by the chocolate almond croissant which is a hybrid I've never seen before! (So obvious though!) A little on the crunchy side for my taste but yummy and still perfect value for money, which is unusual in this 'hood!

The line was out the door (expected at Sunday lunch time the week of Wimbledon!) but it moved really quickly. They also print the flavours on the window so you can get an idea of what you want before getting to the front which helps with the line. If you're a pistachio fan this is hands down one of the best pistachio gelatos I have ever had. The chocolate-hazelnut flavour had chocolate sauce running through it and not just on the top which made it even better. Definitely recommend and will hopefully be back!

This is a relatively new branch of the Italian Ice Cream shop, which specialises in fresh,…read moreItalian-style ice cream. It comes a dizzying array of flavours, and they also sell a range of fresh fruit sorbets. The store has some seating, but is essentially just an ice-cream counter. The ice cream has won numerous awards, and I can personally vouch that it is excellent! I generally like coffee and nut flavours, but there really is something for every taste. The ice cream cones either in cones or tubs. The staff are super friendly and efficient, and are currently open but with covid restrictions. Strongly recommended for a family treat.

They have the flavours you'd expect, but also some interesting and curious offerings e.g. beetroot and honey. My favourite is the salted caramel, and the pistachio is damn good too.

You can taste every one of the B&J flavours and eat as much as you like. There are lots of activities for kids, and the live bands line up gets better every year. There are also food outlets- not the usual rubbish but quality food like gourmet pies, burgers, vegetarian food and italian food. I will be returning next year.

My friends from across the country all reunite for this special day of all you can eat ice cream and festivities! The location is great, although there is a distinct lack of shelter from the elements (this year the sun was melting us all!!). The best thing about the festival, other than all the free icecream obviously, is that the whole thing promotes eco-friendly and green habits - a really great message in my opinion.

Great spot. We had a table of two and whilst there was a minor wait we were overall seated pretty…read morequickly. It's tight space throughout so keep that in mind. It's also (small) dog-friendly so glad I brought my senior chihuahua to chill out. I got the prana masala chai latte with cashew and coconut milk to start. Honestly it was only ok. Not the most flavorful although lovely to look at. I always find chai without dairy milk is just never as good, sadly. The waiter got my order wrong- I ordered the Kumara rather than the corn fritters- but another staff member graciously took the plate away (although the fritters looked temptingly delicious!) As there was quite a long wait for the replacement, he offered a drink on the house so I got the antioxidant revive. It was bright pink, sweet and tasty. Once my dish arrived I was thrilled how good it was: a very generous arrangement of sweet potato/ feta and pumpkin seeds all tasted wonderful. I cleaned my plate. My friend got the avo bread as vegan so just as mashed avo and bread, and a matcha latte. Service otherwise was very good. I also got the vegan wrap for takeaway. I had it for lunch the next day and wow it was great! Really tasty mash of lentils and sweet potato and quite filling.

You know, in case you overindulge on this good food and need to go run it off. The vibe is quite chill and it's a perfect spot to grab a quick bite and some good coffee while getting some work done. They even have an outdoor patio out back that, weather permitting, guarantees a lovely meal. The fare is your quintessential cafe food with a bit of flair added in for good measure. The menu has everything from toasted wraps and sandwiches- the toasted Vegetarian Wrap has a Mediterranean twist that is both light & filling- salads, pastries, eggy breakfast dishes, including a delicious French Toast dish with hints of orange, cinnamon, vanilla mascarpone, and your choice of poached maple banana or streaky bacon, or both! Even the juices and smoothies are on point here, and there is no way you can go wrong with their Dairy-Free Chocolate Smoothie with cocoa, avocado, banana, Manuka honey, almond milk, and coconut water. The coffee, of course, is great, and they carry a Milo Nutella Iced Chocolate that is sure to knock your socks off. So go ahead, take a break from all that hustle & bustle, and enjoy some hearty food and sweet drinks.

I'm a sucker for breakfast, and obviously even had a brunch wedding, so I know good morning food!…read more This place was such a great option to have a little breakfast in the evening when you're feeling jet lagged. I had the shakshuka Benedict, which was pretty good, and my husband had the Korean style chicken and pancakes, which was also very good. There were little things missing, like syrup with the pancakes, when it so desperately needed that sweet touch, and a deeper flavor with the tomato sauce in the shakshuka. Again, very minor things keeping it from being 5 stars. At one point, in true Midwestern fashion, I said "ope," which our waitress thought was the funniest thing (in the most endearing way!), and that made me really love her. We would be regulars if we lived in London!

I can already see that living within 10 minutes walk from this gelateria is going to be dangerous…read more On the hottest weekend of the year I was compelled to pop in on no less than 3 occasions. Consequently, I have already sampled the majority of the range which mainly focusses on traditional Italian flavours (pistachio, hazelnut, vanilla etc) with a few influences from our US cousins (e.g. cookies & cream and peanut butter). For me, the pistachio gelato is pretty much perfect: silky smooth, with a powerful pistachio flavour. Eating it immediately evoked memories of a hot summer's day in Italy. By these high standards, the vanilla was something of a disappointment and did not pack the same level of flavour and the peanut butter was, for me, simply too sickly and not as refreshing as an ice cream should be. However, these small failings apart, it is still a fantastic luxury to have a gelateria of this quality in your neighbourhood and the queues out of the door on Sunday testified to its popularity with locals and visitors alike.

Busy time of day had us waiting a couple of minutes as the staff of three hurried to catch up with…read morethe crowd of customers. The price of a simple cone or cup was a little expensive for a small icy treat. Vanilla was tasty but not worth the price.

L'Amuse Bouche has quite a few sweet and savoury crepe options to take away. But, this was our…read moredessert stop at Pop Brixton. They have the standard Nutella, lemon and sugar fillings, but we decided to go for the salted caramel option for a change. The lady manning the crepe pans was very adept and efficient. I cringed a bit as I saw the amount of butter go into our crepe compared to some of the earlier ones (hint : the butter is the root of the salty taste in their salted caramel), but it was oh so tasty in the end. I heavily recommend the salted caramel crepes, but I have to warn you that they are a little tricky to eat when on the go. We constantly had sticky caramel squirting out with each bite (it was too yum to be content with just nibbling on it) Fortunately, the washrooms are right next to this stall, so you can wash up the mess on your fingers, face and tshirt. (True story)

I just fancied a savoury crepe that day and so ordered the spinach, garlic, egg and cheese crepe (La Potagere. Everything about it was perfect and worth the garlic breath it left me. The crepe came out thin, eggy and bouncy. The stall holder seems to know what she was doing, being quick and skilful with the hot plate and throwing in the ingredients. The spinach was fresh so I could still crunch into it but cooked enough to be seasoned by the garlic. The addition of egg and cheese just held in that warmth and extra flavour it needed to make it the comfort food you need on a cold day. Delicious!
