    Smashed avo with peppers, feta and mint
    Craig D.

    What a cute café! Really friendly and personal table service, with a bottle of water and two glasses poured for us as soon as we sat down. The staff is friendly, but what really impresses are two things: the coffee and the bocaditos. Climpson & Sons beans are used, which explains why the coffee is so fresh and aromatic. You can really tell the difference here. My long black even came with a miniature glass pitcher of milk on the side! The Cuban style bocaditos are all £5.20, which isn't too bad for fresh ingredients pressed between two slices of ciabatta. The chorizo sandwich was tasty, with melted cheese and just enough spice and grease to make it indulgent. The smashed avo was also awesome (see pic), with peppers, feta and mint. It was a tad on the expensive side though, more than £7. Minus one star for no wifi and strangely, no service on my cell phone while in the cafe, even from the front windows. Nonetheless, bring a friend, a book, or a newspaper (does anyone still read those?) and you're in for a relaxing and welcoming café experience.

    Great coffee here, some of the best quality and crafted coffee in London. Service is quick, flat white flavour is deep and rich, with lattes certainly more milky. Breakfast/brunch is delicious and great quality, competing nicely with Australian brunches that I miss Atmosphere is cool and modernly retro - adore the bright yellow theme, but more so the warm sunny light that baths the space. Friendly staff, groovy venue. A great local option.

    I'd just spent 2 weeks in LA drinking the best coffee if ever had. Birdhouse was a delightful taste back into us English people making coffee. A really good flat white, however the espresso in it did taste a small bit bitter. The food was very tasty too, I had Chorizo, Mushroom, Baked Egg and Spinach. Perfect post jogging lunch with some amazing toast (I asked for more toast, never done that before). The I got to sit by the window with my friend. We both love to people watch and Birdhouse definitely didn't disappoint on that note!

    Butternut squash sandwich

    Great little place with friendly staff! The butternut squash sandwich was divine. Recommend the toasted banana loaf as well.

    Mocha + lamington + friand

    We stopped by this quirky little cafe after being recommended by some friends, as me and my friend weren't too familiar with cafés in the area. The place is pretty small but we were lucky enough to get a table right at the back as a couple was just leaving. We both ordered a mocha each and some cake - a lamington and a friand. Our mochas were served in cute bright yellow cups, with pretty coffee art. The cakes were really tasty, but it was a shame that they didn't have any whoopie pies when were were there... Oh well, always next time! I also really liked the quirky details on the forks. Water was served in a big amber glass bottle that reminded me of medicine bottles... The food menu looked rather tempting but we had just finished lunch not too long ago so we didn't get to try their hot food that day. Best to carry some cash with you as there is an extra 50p charge for card payments that are less than £10. A cool cafe close to Clapham Junction station that I'd be happy to visit again whenever I'm in the area next time.

I loved the decor and atmosphere. Food: My friend and I both ordered the traditional English breakfast. I had mine with vegan sausage. The breakfast was exactly what I expected and was pretty good. I was excited they had a vegan sausage option instead of leaving the sausage off like other places. Service: Our service was quick and friendly. We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all. TL;DR - Lovely place for an English breakfast

It was nice to have some vegetables and it was enjoyable. The vanilla scone came in warm and enough clotted cream and jam. The pot of tea was plenty for 2 people. The quality of tea is nothing special just a traditional British breakfast tea. The service was fast and friendly. The interior was decorated that really feels traditionally British, it was a nice touch to the overall experience. Cute tea cups were used as well.

Around here it's all been the main chains, and lunchtime sandwich bars. Quality's therefore ranged from acceptably-above-mediocre to DIRE. With the arrival of Fabio & Charlie and The Flat Cap Coffee Company however all this has changed, and proper coffee can be found in the streets of Westminster! Fabio is an expert barista with incredible knowledge and attention to detail, and insists on using high-quality ingredients (incl. Square Mile Coffee) to produce a cup which is something I genuinely look forward to in the morning (as opposed to the routine "heart starter" that a coffee once was). The prices are on par with other places around the area - somewhere in the vicinity of £1.80 to £2.20 depending on what you're having. They also sell a very tasty range of pastries & whatnot brought in from Villandry, although you've usually got to get in pretty quick in the morning!
