Thank you guys, it's much appreciated. As with everywhere in Brixton Village it's a pretty small but friendly space. Today 4 of us perched happily by the door.

A small place with about 5 tables, Sally White is light, welcoming and comfortable. The people next to us informed us that the coffee was excellent, and I can personally vouch for the tea.

The walls are covered with the co-owner Farid's beautiful, nebulous art and all the food is home cooked by him and his wife. It is family run and totally genuine. Lucy and Farid are almost too good to be true; a welcoming couple who not only bake fresh croissants in the morning and serve you with a warm smile, but offer mental health support sessions on Friday evenings for members of the local community who need it. They provide a comfortable venue and a lovely service; support them, you won't be disappointed!

The menu offers yummy brunch foods like the Croque Madame made with prosciutto, cheese, and a fried egg on top of organic sourdough bread; French Toast made with yoghurt and berries; omelettes, eggy bread, avocado toast, and lighter version of their egg dishes. They also have take-away options like wraps and sandwiches, as well as sweet and hearty pastries to go with their great coffee. Might I suggest their Latte Machiato with Coconut Milk? It's amazeballs. If all that sounds too heavy for you, they're also cranking out power-packed smoothies and juices with supercharged add-ons like hemp protein, spirulina, and baobab. You can even build your own smoothie. My favorite concoction is a mixture of almond or coconut milk, banana, a shot of coffee, cashew nuts, hemp protein, and baobab, which is a nutty root high in Vitamin C and calcium. Heck you can add peanut butter to it and be good for the day. It's quiet, local, perfect for getting a bit of work done, and enjoying a healthy meal. Certainly better than the alternatives.

Our last two days in London, we went for breakfast at Kennington Lane Cafe. Even though our B&B…read moreserved a full English breakfast, my husband wanted to go out for breakfast. He had looked up restaurants that served a full English breakfast, and Kennington Lane Cafe was highly regarded, and it happened to be a few minutes away from our B&B. We loved our breakfast so much that we went back a second day. What I liked about the menu was that is was easy to create exactly what you wanted. You could order a set breakfast (and easily add on extra sides), or you could pick and choose what you wanted, and make the breakfast as small or as large as needed to match your appetite. The breakfast I created had a small steak, fried mushrooms and tomatoes, and bubble and squeak. Delicious! I don't have an itemized bill of exactly what we ordered and the price of each item, but the totals on my credit card bill are £20.89 the first day and £20.50 the second day, and each bill included breakfast and coffee for two. Essentially, you can get a full breakfast for £10 -- a fantastic deal. [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; London, England; Poor and hungry?]

Interminable lines, no free seats*, and 10-15 minute waits for even beverage orders. On the flip side, my iced soy latte was delightful. The jury's still out on this coffee shop. With so many stellar caffeination stations to be had in Clerkenwell, I'd have to 1) already be in Brixton, 2) be really craving a fix, and 3) have someone else suggest a visit here to consider giving it another go. --- * I was fortunate enough to arrive at the perfect time that a cute stranger was getting up; he graciously offered me his stool.
