    Friendly coffee shop with a small menu of various sandwiches and bagels. The coffee was tasty and well made. My salt beef bagel was not so great, it had too much of the mayo mustard souce and it made the bagel wet and unpleasant to eat. The salt beef came out of a packet and the whole thing was disappointing. The coffee however was really tasty and the prices are very reasonable. There is seating indoors and outside but no toilets.

    Great atmosphere, came in with my brother and sister. The cafe was set up by a former teacher from Singlegate I use to see as a kid. Coffees are clean and smooth. Chai Lattes are tasty and there's a selection of cakes and pastries. Also they let dogs in as well so that's a bonus. On the high Street near and opposite the petrol station by the crossing lights.

    A small coffee shop with great coffee and very friendly staff. I'm new to the area and a good first experience is always nice. These guys will see me again....a lot...frequently! ;-)

    Everyone that works here are so nice! They have great gluten free/ Vegan sandwiches and cakes too!

  • 4/5 Charmaine C. 7 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Went with a friend to have breakfast. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Ordered a bagel with bacon and egg with a breakfast tea. Tea was great and hot. Bagel was mediocre. I really wish I could say more about it. Bacon was meek and egg was scrambled with lots of mayo. It was edible but yeah.... Cafe itself is small but inviting. You can comfortably sit 8 people in there. Might be a tight squeeze for buggies.

    We only discovered this place recently (after living here for 2 years!). The BEST gluten free toasties, super friendly staff and lovely fresh bakes like gluten free cookies and brownies. The CHOT toastie has kept me going throughout my pregnancy, we love it here.

    The BEST ever bacon bagel I’ve ever had eaten (and I’m real fussy!) The whole team was really friendly and accommodating. Great value for money and delicious coffee and cake. Really cute and cool coffee joint. I loved playing Animal Crossing with little Luca.

  • 5/5 Lydia P. 3 years ago on Google
    A local gem, for Colliers Wood and also Wimbledon and Tooting. Best coffee for miles, superb lunch options (esp the soup) and locally made cakes and goodies not to be missed. Sophie, Frankie, Kevin, Raphel and the whole team of squirrels are so friendly, welcoming and fun. They've really made the cafe part of the local community and even though I've moved further away, they're still part of my daily routine.

  • 5/5 Nathan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly, family run coffee shop around the corner from me. Always smiling and go the extra mile with regards to who they cater to, meaty, veggie, vegan and GF all under one roof. Was waiting outside today for my paninis and was gifted an ice cream which was used in a modelling shoot by the owners daughter. Still managed to finish my lucnh after too! Thanks!

  • 5/5 Jennifer L. 3 years ago on Google

    Lovely little local place. A real community feel. Wish we lived closer to be honest.

  • 5/5 Agnes B. 3 years ago on Google
    Super friendly staff and amazing coffee. Try the dirty chai (and never have punmkin spiced latte at the other place for 500 calories) it is something out from this space.

  • 5/5 Eva T. 3 years ago on Google

    Best coffee shop in London

  • 5/5 nikhil s. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious, can't wait for things to go back to normal and I can get a bacon bagel and a coffee. I only just discovered this gem before the pandemic.

  • 3/5 Ria H. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely coffee place to look at and atmosphere but unfortunately the coffee is really not good. I was disappointed as had been looking forward to visiting for a while. If they changed their beans and trained the staff as proper baristas then this would be a destination cafe in Collier’s Wood with no other decent options. ...As per the owners response, nothing went wrong at the time of my visit, the coffee is simply not of a high standard in my opinion (compared to other nearby Tooting cafes for example, Brickwood, Green Monkey etc.) Thanks

  • 5/5 Beni V. 4 years ago on Google
    Best cafe for miles. Love coming here. Family-friendly, vegan-friendly and Physics-student-who-just-needs-somewhere-chill-to-work-sometimes-that-ain't-a-nasty-chain-place-friendly. Food is top-notch, wide variety of options. Love their vegan paninis. Coffee is good, not great, but it's not what I come here for anywhere.

  • 4/5 James E. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a good coffee shop and recently refurbished. It always seems that they're one staff member down. The staff are friendly however, as it is in the centre of town its busy and if they had one more member of staff it would be a but quicker to get a coffee.

  • 2/5 Andy F. 3 years ago on Google
    Still piss poor

  • 3/5 Dan T. 4 years ago on Google
    Long queue. Got missed out in serving order. Food and drink very nice though.

  • 5/5 Brad S. 4 years ago on Google
    Sometimes it's a little busy, but around lunchtime I guess that's to be expected. Not a bad atmosphere to get a bit of work done or grab a quick snack while you're on a break.

    This has to be the best coffee house in the area, brilliant coffee, fresh pastries and the owners and staff are always lovely. This is a great independent and local business and definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Simon J. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly coffee shop serving a range of paninis (my favourites: the Artichoke and the Humous One), bagels and cakes. Seating available although I tend to just walk over to Wandle Park.

  • 5/5 Leif Kristian M. 6 years ago on Google
    Coffee and some nice cakes a great start to your day-to-day journeys, or just sitting down with a coffee and watch the world revolves. Great staff and ambience of the place- Yummy Mummys it's great for you to

  • 5/5 1a70 a. 1 year ago on Google
    Very very nice service and excellent coffee and pastrami bagel😋

  • 4/5 Kol-C B. 5 years ago on Google
    The blueberry, raspberry and lime cake is just right. 100++ stars. I tried the latte first and that hits the right spot. 100++ stars! So I thought the cake must be good as well. It isn't sweet and has that 'just right' taste to go with the latte. Customer service and ambience - spot on. There is exterior seating which adds to the nice, cosy ambience. 100++ stars! There is ample room for wheelchair seating and the entrance is easily accessible for wheelchairs. Overall a good place to work on your laptop and enjoy the view from your seat.

  • 5/5 Helena M. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is fantastic! My chai tea latte was perfect, the crumpets were delicious, and the service was very quick and very friendly. They also were selling some cool local art, which I happily purchased.

  • 5/5 Henry A. 9 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Lovely local place. Great vegan food options, alternative milks, and great coffee too. Staff are really friendly, and inside there’s always local artwork which is changed quite frequently. I always have ‘the Artichoke’ which is a really nice vegan panini, and refreshing because it’s a little different than the regular vegan options. It’s freshly made and miles better than any chain food. They also have a great selection of cakes with vegan cakes too. Bit of indoor space and nice outdoor seating to watch the world go by too. Great, warm and welcoming independent, please go and support this place! Keep doing what you are doing guys 🤍❤️🤍
