I have been wanting to check this place out for a while as it is a short(ish) bus ride from my house, which in the coffee-wasteland that is SW London classifies as "local" in my book. It didn't disappoint - these guys are part of the
Bullet Coffee Collective who source their own beans and also run the
Bullet Cafe on the top floor of Snow & Rock in 7 Dials (which is a great place for coffee despite the weird location). The coffee is great - really nice blend and well made by a friendly fella. Just like Bullet Cafe, they have Anzac biscuits on offer, which gives them a million brownie points (is that a mixed metaphor?) from me - the one I had on the weekend was yummy and reminded me of my home country (sniff). My better half had a delicious white chocolate tart thing and there was a great breakfast menu which I will definitely be back to try. The service was great and the vibe is realy relaxed - I loved the fact that they went and bought a Sunday paper for a woman who was having breakfast there. I just wish they were located a little bit further west so I could walk there on weekend mornings. So hooray for The Roastery - a little gem on this somewhat bleak stretch of Wandsworth Road.

Good coffee in sarf London - nice one
ReplyDeleteI'm about ten minutes away, and although there are other places nearer they're well worth the walk. Coffee of real quality, and I like the haphazard appearance of chocolate fish with some of the coffees they serve. Noticed they've just this week been featured in TimeOut's top 5 south London coffee shops - so I expect a few more people will be making the journey to this rather lost and off-the-beaten-track corner of London.
ReplyDeleteI agree David - this place is definitely worth the trek. I just wish Clapham/Battersea/Wandsworth could sustain a few more cafes like this.
