Actually…read morethis is the only place that calls out on Tooting High Street that isn't a corner shop or curry house. In desperate need of coffee and breakfast I stumbled in at 8.30am to what looked like an empty café. Little did I know lurking behind the counter was a lovely gent who talked me though his pastries. Now I'm not going to call him a liar but I'm just going to say that those muffins looked suspiciously bought in. So I settled on their version of a pasty. For those of you who have eaten one of these in front of me will know "pasty's repeat themselves on you" for the next 48 hours. Me choosing this was due to lack of selection and need for a speedy decision. It wasn't a mistake. This greasy pastry parcel filled with goats cheese, spinach and tomato did not disappoint, the coffee was hot, smooth and had caffeine in it and it cost me less that 4 quid. All in all a winner. I have to love this place, the breads really do look amazing in the window and during peak brunch/lunch time it's packed with yummy mummys. The atmosphere is like Chelsea has arrived in tooting, with deep wood flooring and polite staff. I know, I know you won't believe me but Tooting really is up and coming!

You can get a box packed with just salads or a mix of salads and hot dishes. However, the staff packs it for you so it's a bit hard to specify exactly how much you want of each. Everything is put together in the same box so things also get mixed together. This normally wouldn't be a big deal but I feel like the hot items should be separated from the salads. Like I don't want a lasagna on my kale salad. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious and fresh, it was just hard for me to get over the mess of having everything lumped together in one box. They have quite a few beautiful baked goods and quiches as well. Based on how the food I tried was, I would absolutely give it another try. I think I just need to order differently/in such a way where I can ask for more separation between hot and cold items.

Explained that I needed it to take some medicine, but no they "don't do" tap water. Bonkers. I hate sticklers. Anyway, the place is kind of cool in its interior, it's all purple and comfy booths.

I tried cookie dough for the first time, it was a bit too sweet, but good taste with the aero flavour.

Tip: This cafe was in Harrods. It no longer exists…read more I have been going down quite the rabbit hole trying to first figure out the name of the cafe that I had visited in Harrods for a late lunch. I couldn't remember the name. I did a bunch of searches online. It felt like it was a figment of my imagination. It wasn't. Yelp came to the rescue. I dined here in December 2013. The listing is still here. Sadly, the cafe isn't. Montreux Jazz Cafe set up shop on the third floor of Harrods in 2012. It opened in time for the London 2012 Olympics. I was fortunate to visit it a year later. The cafe stayed open for a few years, but it is now permanently gone. This cafe is a nod to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. There are a handful of Montreux Jazz Cafe locations in Europe, but they are mainly in various parts of Switzerland these days. I came here for some nourishment after a few hours of walking a gigantic department store. I remember being seated at a table for two. I have been looking at my photos of my London trip. The 2013 version of me was cool. I sometimes shock myself. My table had a hook underneath for my purse. I had a purple purse back then. I still do now. The music was chill and relaxed here. I loved the menu that looked like a record came out of its album sleeve. I am so glad that I took photos of it. The style of this menu is exactly what I had pictured it to be in memory. I was definitely having a good shopping experience at Harrods. For lunch, I got a Heineken. I am certain that I went with the next best beer because Stella Artois wasn't available. I got a glass for my beer. The pour was smooth. I enjoyed having a beer. I'm pretty sure that it was the only one I had on this trip! For lunch, I got the club sandwich. I loved that it had a hard-boiled egg in it with mayo, tomatoes, lettuce, and more. The bread was toasted perfectly. I'm drooling. I had a pot of tea and dessert afterwards. 2013 me was awesome! It was cool getting two tart slices. One was a blueberry tart. The other one was a lemon one. They were delicate, but yummy. I wanted a smaller dessert and thankfully got it here. It's bittersweet that this cafe is gone. I can always visit one of them in Switzerland, I suppose. I'm glad that I dropped by. I have fond memories of dining here. (58)

While we got our food relatively quickly, I noticed both the table beside us ordered right after us and still haven't got their food by the time we were leaving (~45 minutes time lapse). They were complaining to the serving staff as we were getting up - I wouldn't blame them. Guess the service here is a hit or miss.

My friend and I were on the search for a much needed brunch (if you can call it that at 2pm!!). Muxima is a friendly, welcoming little cafe, with a mix of cozy, rustic seating and a few shared tables.

My plate was a feast for the eyes the second t was placed in front of me, and my eggs perfectly poached, and covered in a rich flavourful hollandaise sauce. The drizzle of balsamic was a bit unusual, but matched the garlicky taste of the spinach well. We also enjoyed our coffees and a homemade croissant to start- perfect with some homemade tasting jam!
