Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

Charming but hit or miss.

Irene is that quaint little café you stumble upon in Brixton that tries hard to be charming but has its moments. Supriya rolled in right before closing and was treated like royalty by Oscar, who clearly knows a thing or two about customer service. Victoria found her chocolate and cardamom bun so good it might just be life-changing. The coffee's okay, but not every day can be a winner—Olivia thought it was on the weak side. With a mix of delightful pastries and moments of service chaos, it’s a toss-up. If you’re in the area, give it a go, just don’t hold your breath for stellar coffee.
