Hello, I popped in for a full english breakfast today and…read morewas really impressed. Not only was it delicious but the staff were fantastic. I saw three members of staff and each one had a huge smile which was really refreshing. The layout of the shop itself is lovely, really light and spacious and the staff have created a lovely atmosphere in there. Thumbs up! Many Thanks Nicola

Miracles is really great although not a great secret. Food is always delicious and the service is…read moreusually very good too. It is likely to be very busy, sometimes a little too busy as it can get a little too loud to chat. But I do think that it shows how many people love this place and with good reason, the winning combination of good food, good staff and relaxed vibes.

Aruns' is my local greasy spoon cafe. For me it's perfect as it just up the rd from my house which…read moreis great for when I can't be bothered to cook! Inside you are greeted with a smile from the staff, given a seat and asked if you would like a drink, all in the space of a minute. The interior decor is simple but homely, with subtle orange walls that always lift my mood. The food is typical of a greasy spoon, but most importantly the cutlery and tables are always clean!

There are a few bar stools from which to eat, but it's more of a take-away venue to bring back a filling lunch back to the office. Birley offers a few options for hearty soups everyday - perfect for winter days. Their bread is also really fresh and tasty. Good place for breakfast and lunch.

Tartine has established itself on the Tooting High Street scene for a number of years now, and…read morefollowing on from it's success, opened a sister restaurant in Balham. This quaint 'Parisienne' café offers breakfast, brunch and lunch 7 days a week. The Morcoccan-Mediterrean food is what draws me back to Tartine, with the classic 'lamb merquez wrap' and 'meat mezze' always being the big hits. I have unfortunately always been disappointed by the coffee here. I've found that it's never strong enough, never warm and slightly too expensive for what is on offer. In the summer days, the cafe's opening hours are longer, and there is a small seating area outdoors. The main issue with this however, is that you are right on the busy main road (lots of traffic and ambulances whizzing past at all times of day), so it's actually nicer to sit inside away from the hussle and bussle of Tooting's main road. There is often a bit of a wait for a table as the place is very popular with all of Tooting's eclectic population, including students, doctors and yummy mummies (not quite sure where they come from). Tartine is a smart change from the usual type of food on offer in most of Tooting's restaurants, but will have to maintain it's quality with the increasing competition from other up and coming cafe's that are popping up all over Tooting.

In terms of decent coffee, between my house and the tube station there is slim pickings. 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!

She very rude and unprofessional. I understand it is a busy location but her actions and then dumping my food and drinks in the bag was ridiculous. 8 March 2022 Pret A Manger sent me a mean scathing email for this post. It simple proves my point. If it comes again it will replace the current image.

Buenos Aires is the busiest brunch spot in Greenwich. During the week it is filled with young…read moremothers and pushchairs, and at the weekend it is full of groups of friends and young couples. Don't be put off by the queues or the apparent lack of space in the restaurant-it is surprisingly spacious and light and the comfy sofas are worth waiting for. There are also tables and chairs outside if the weather is fine enough for you to sit outside. The breakfasts are really special- freshly baked pastries and the Mediterranean platters are all amazing, as are the selection of fresh fruit juices. The coffee is phenomenal- 100% Arabica coffee- and is the main draw of the place- you can also purchase bags of it to take home with you. Buenos Aires also has an excellent outside catering service. I once used them for a photo shoot and they served the crew the best on-set buffet we had all year.

This is the "star" breakdown:…read more ***friendly service **super weak loose leaf lapsang souchong tea that I let steep for 4 minutes and it still looked and tasted as if someone had just dunked a tea bag in and out of the tea pot two times. I could have flushed 2.40 down the toilet and had a better experience. ** "fuck" and "shit" heard escaping the counter dude's mouth as he berated himself (or the cake?) for letting a huge chunk of pound cake fall to the ground. This place is "buggy brigade" central and mama doesn't want to hear that sort of language spoken in front of the children. ***nice-looking joint with sofas, communal tables and cozier round tables. **four employees behind the counter on a slow shift actually creates more problems than it solves. ****outside seating
