👍👍 Fantastic food, great atmosphere, but that wasn't the best part of our brunch together with my friend. Harry, Harry, Harry... what a legend he is! He made me actually laugh, please do not change the attitude and the way of how you do things. Certainly, one of the best service I have ever received. L...

    Always great to stop by Brickwood after a walk in Clapham Common park to enjoy a nice Aussie breakfast. Would definitely recommend you to visit them! Be aware that there might be some queue outside on weekends!

    Utter disappointment after seeing the good reviews online, I had really high hopes for this place! The two girls working literally couldn’t be less interested in their job, no enthusiasm, they sat behind the counter on their phones. No one came out to get take our order for a while so I had to ask the waitress and my food was stone cold. I politely asked for salt and the waitress just plonked it on the table and walked off without saying a word. I didn’t feel as it was even worth mentioning the cold food as judging by the girls demeanour it wouldn’t have gone down well.

    Bland and totally average coffee let this place down. The staff were more interested in chatting than making my latte (I was the only one ordering as well). Decor looks nice and so does the food but wouldn't recommend.

    The breakfast is fantastic, if a little steep from a pricing perspective. The USP is the hash nuggets, which are a genuine delight to consume. The coffee is alright but I wish their standard size takeaway cup was bigger, as one latte really isn’t enough. Love the Aussie vibe though and I live close by, so visit regularly.

    Coffee was good. Menu is fairly standard/simple so that's fine if that's what you fancy. The food could have been pretty good.... Had the kumara and the loaded hash nuggets - and I would have definitely recommended it except for the fact allll our food was cold! Really disappointing and you could tell it would have been pretty decent food.

    Spontaneous visit with an Italian friend. Food prices high end but for great quality and kind service. Bustling atmosphere, had waiting people nearly sitting on my lap. Ordered a cappuccino,, barely any foam, was more like a latte. Didn't say anything as was enjoying the company I was in. Still ....

    Revisited on New Year' day while not many places open, this place was busy, or always busy/ popular, used to go often years ago. Food is great, large mocha tasted like chocolate flavoured latte; but, friendly staff, very chilled and if you like 'dude' 'hey man' 'what's up mate' this kind of experience, you will love it! Oh, the toilet seems to be problem on last visit too...

    Cozy Aussie cafe with friendly service, spacious back room, and expansive food menu and great coffee at reasonable prices. The hearty English breakfast and fluffy blueberry pancakes were fresh and well portioned, with particularly delicious mushroom and tater tots!

  • 4/5 Ashlee de K. 2 years ago on Google • 224 reviews
    Another Clapham gem! Really good English breakfast in the form of the Butcher…and they give you two slices of toast which is rare in the brunch game. Coffee is excellent, service excellent - just try and score a seat inside on chillier days.

    We popped along on a very busy Sunday afternoon and it was a bit of a squeeze! Very good coffee (good decaf too) and some great brunch options. They serve some fabulous toasties, perfect after a long walk on the Common. Also a big fan of the hash brown nuggs and chilli jam. Yum!

    Nom nom nom. Brickwood is a delicious little bustling hive in Clapham Common. It’s a small cafe, that is perfect for brunch, but groups be prepared - you may need to queue. Amazing coffee, delicious vegetarian options and excellent vibes. Would recommend for a cheeky Sunday brunch.

    Exceptionally smooth Cappuccino and the grilled banana bread with the mascarpone and berries really hit the spot. It's right off CS7 with cycle parking right outside, which is brilliant. Must stop café on all bike rides to South London! Update: the banana bread mascarpone combo has now left the menu sadly. But the lovely staff gave me a deconstructed one to relive it. :)

    Very pretty cafe, aesthetic, the pancakes are probably the best thing on the menu. Unfortunately the food took ages to come and by the time it arrived (30min later) we had finished our coffees and twiddling with our thumbs. You have the expectation breakfast arrives within 10min so you can drink with your coffee. The beef sarne was so so. The staff were nice, the coffee was average. Bit weird they added the service charge when the food took so long. I would have expected a discount if anything 😕

    We had a wonderful lunch at Brickwood today! Food and service top notch! Barney couldn’t have been more helpful and courteous. Just a lovely lovely place!

  • 5/5 Laura R. 11 months ago on Google
    Great brunch menu with very strong coffee. Staff are lovely. Good location next to grab a coffee before going for a walk around the common.

  • 1/5 Mick s. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered blueberry pancakes and a cappuccino. I received this avocado on toast and an unknown coffee. The driver had another delivery so must have taken mine to that place but my ticket was on this order and the bag was stapled shut so it was all due to the cafe and the driver had no way to confirm the order. I've eaten here several times as food and coffee is nice but dont order delivery or you'll waste £20 on breakfast for one.

    Very nice dim sims, but ran out of all soft drinks except coke :( was looking forward to getting a solo. But tasted great and worth the money! Also has a very cute and secluded outdoor space to eat at

  • 5/5 Maureen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lovely coffee and some toast with real butter and plenty of it. Bought a chunk of banana bread to take away but forgot it 🙃

  • 5/5 Cherie'lee H. 1 year ago on Google
    Would be great if opened at 7.00 so can get coffee on way to work, luckily due to heat we are both working remotelt today so the 8am opening was ok. Great coffee, nice to have a spot of OZ in London, have been to the Tooting Broadway one a few times when visiting our daughter who lives nearby 1st time to Clapham one. Great outdoor ( rear) garden space, quiet, shaded. Great menu, super green smoothie ( yes I am missing Melbourne!) Hubbys avo toast great, tumeric latte very nice, hard to find good ones in London! Good Mel coffee another hard thing to find... ok yes I guess I'm bias! But great coffee is great coffee ! Right? These guys do it well!!!

  • 5/5 Danny Holt (. 2 years ago on Google
    Great as always. Service never fails to impressed. Quick to get you seated, they take your drunk orders straight away and everything comes pretty quickly considering how busy they are. Staff are also very friendly. Plus, and this is a huge plus, the food is always banging.

  • 5/5 Simon 1 year ago on Google
    This is just a lovely simple cafe, It gets 5 stars from me just because the food is amazing and the quality is excellent. The service is very friendly and helpful. Very dog friendly. Best scrambled eggs I have ever tasted. The picture is there huge super salad

  • 5/5 Natacha du pont de b. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent bread. Great for takeaways as the sandwiches and toasties are superb. This time I had a super-salad which was very generous though I ate most of it before remembering to take a picture. Spinach lentils sweet potato and guacamole on top.

  • 5/5 Abigail Constante Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Brickwood has cosy seats to have a lovely coffee or any hot drink, food is also lovely after a workout at the gym. 😌😊 had indoor or outdoor seats and tables

  • 5/5 Tristan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic Aussie cafe. For any antipodean who is missing home during these odd times, some Nutri-Grain and Timtams can be a real treat. Amazing service and wonderful food!

  • 5/5 Kate G. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely spot for a coffee in Clapham Common! Amazing selection of cakes and awesome menu which I'm yet to try! Really wonderful and welcoming staff! Have left Brickwood with some great book recommendations thanks to one of the guys working there who was happy to chat (it was great to meet you if you see this!). Also a beautiful outside garden accessible within the cafe for sitting outside. Couldn't recommend more :)

  • 5/5 adam L. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning food, great staff, can't go wrong. A bit spenny but that comes with location I suppose. It's worth every penny in any case.

  • 5/5 Jamie The Small Business B. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely coffee and I can't believe I'm saying this, but the portions were just too big! If I struggle, then I know that's true 😂 friendly service, so thank you.

    Manager was really friendly! All staff were very friendly and gave exceptional customer service. We would come back in a heart beat and recommend the brunch place to all our friends :)

    The barista was so chatty and happy it made the experience really nice and I'll definitely come back. Obviously the coffee was delicious but it was very unique and personal in conversation
