Funky little place in Balham. Interior covered with corrugated iron on the walls and coffee sacks from around the world on its ceiling. The coffee was extremely strong but very good. Tap water places on the table without having to ask almost straight off. Went for the banana bread with espresso butter. What can I say it was absolutely amazing and I would go back just for that every time. Moist bread with a real kick of coffee from the butter. Busy but not too crowded although I think it would be on the weekends!

Skinny cap - now when I walk past the other high street coffee shops, I feel like they're peasants compared to this royalty.

Seriously one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! And not just in London. Came in with no real…read moreexpectations and ended up talking about how great this place was hours later in the day. Came on a recommendation from a friend of a friend for the next time I visited London. Luckily it a short walk from a tube station and even though it seems like a lot of stops from zone 1 & 2, it took less than 20 minutes from Central London. My friend and I lucked out as we arrived right before a rush, but as we started our meal we could see why people were queuing up outside and waiting for who knows how long. I don't know if I have the words to describe my experience as everything on the menu looked good and from a slightly picky eater like me, that's saying something. I just hope the rarity I hand out 5 stars will say more than my stunted vocabulary can The food was great! The hot drinks were great! The smoothies were great! Definitely going to try and make my way back to this place my next trip to London.

So, I'm wandering around parts of London trying to look for a place that doesn't happen to be a…read morechain cafe, and well I eventually find this place (yes, it's pretty difficult to be honest). Anyway, I come in here for a coffee, but yeah, it really was pretty slow. Sure, maybe I'm one of those people that would prefer not to hang around for too long, or I'm just impatient.

At first, the decor makes no sense. Tissue paper, dried chilliest, etc. I finally asked the…read morewaitress, Cindy about the decor and I was treated to a short history lesson. Bill the owner of 80 plus stores, originally had a shop in Brighton. All of the decor was what he had in his shop. The meal I had today has been the best meal I've had since arriving here. The service was excellent, decor a little weird but pleasant. Cindy was (our waitress) so lovely. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and was able to make suggestions in regards to the menu and of course gave us a history lesson about the company. My steak was cooked to perfectly, chips lovely, watercress just complimented it all. I also opted for a bernaise sauce to accompany it all. There is an option for garlic as well. FYI: they also have a two course or a three course menu which is available Monday to Friday, noon to 7pm. From what I saw it's a great value and the starter, main and dessert choices were very good. I wish I had dessert but I could barely finish my steak. Next time. Bill also sells a wide variety of Bill products. Oils, condiments and sauces all for sale and displayed quite prominently at the front of the store. Please see attached pictures. I really enjoyed my meal today - great good and excellent service. Thank you Cindy!!!

Great service and attentive staff. Food was delicious. Had lamb shank, was well done!! Surprised…read morethis place was not packed out. Has a cosy feeling
