I got to know a large chunk of the people living there, usually from seeing them in the Albert or in things happening around Brixton. I don't think I've ever met anyone living there now. Shame.
I have. The daughter of a friend lives there.
 
I went to f Mondays last week and I thought they did a nice coffee.

Not too friendly though and the room felt a bit sterile.

I've no doubt ill go back plenty though, it's next door to kids centre and strong coffee is usually needed before during and after any visit

I'm sure they can brew a very capable coffee (at a price) but it really is a spectacularly wanky name.
 
Just looks a bit boring and cold tbh.
It looks like just about every other coffee shop of that ilk (i.e like a Williamsburg coffee shop circa 2008). That's not necessarily a bad thing - I'm sure the food and drinks there are very good - but it's just shame how indentikit everything is becoming all over London.

That's a shame. American guy with a beard? He and the blonde lady have been really friendly both times I've been in. Agree it is a bit bare but there there is a large bar in the window where you can sit and watch the world go by. Or pro life protesters accosting folk across the road.
 
And a courgette cake so good I was inspired to go home to make one myself (at a tenth of the price)
I have never been inspired to go home and bake something if I eat a tasty version someone else has made. I wouldn't think I could do it justice! The place on Tulse hill (deli corner?) does an amazing chocolate and beet root cake- but where Agent Sparrow has been honing her culinary skills trying to replicate it, I just think longingly about it.....!

Stephan's food at ledelicorner is fantastic. £4 for a filling lunch. Bonkers value.

Nope, 2 ladies.

They didn't coo over my pram either.
 
There seems to have been some kind of rave/event attracting a large youth(ish) following in the arch behind Ackeetree minicabs on Codharbour Lane (opposite Shakespeare Road) tonight.
I wonder if anyone knows what it was all about?
 
Oh, i heard that was open again. good venue. dunno, but i'm going to a thing there at the end of february

The cakes are obscenely expensive. £3 for a single egg baked in a single piece of bacon? (admittedly, not a cake). Small slices of any cake for over £3 seem ridiculous to me.
 
£3 for a slither of regular cake? No thanks!
That's Starbucks price territory though, isn't it? I'd much sooner someone would go into an independent place which pays taxes than to Starbucks.

I reckon the blackbird in Herne Hill would be at least that as well.

It's not really my thing, but at least I know what it costs and van try to avoid it.
