Beware hedgehogs
I remember it well. When we moved back to London I was gutted to see it had closed its doors. The cowboy had the dubious addition of a burger pattie to your normal breakfast staples.

That's how i remember it. The sandwiches on thick crusty bread was the draw for me.

Another vote for the Electric Cafe - simply the best. I go out of my way to get my breakfast there whenever possible, it is quite simply perfection every time - and is run by the loveliest people imaginable - it's my desert island cafe.

It's decent - breakfasts are good value but not top notch - for instance they deep fry the sausage... but it's cheap, friendly and has decent lunch options as well - spag Bol, chilli, kebabs etc... for £6-7 you won't think about food for 6-7hrs which is top value in my book
(Lucky I checked before hitting "post", I'm a big fan of "slag bol" but I'm not sure about others [emoji38])

Bit of an outlier but for speed,quality & price this is the best i've found in S.London
Pop Inn cafe in Bermondsey, South Park Road. You don't go for the atmosphere, it's full of construction workers !

I have used this place for years and years. Great food and friendly staff, a real community orientated place on the weekend with some funny old Bermondsey characters. I will be there on saturday on my way to Millwall.

when i lived in Tulse Hill, i far preferred Castello's for my fry up's, which may sound like blasphemy to you, but i think with good reason.
Although a Portuguese restaurant, they do a English fry up very well, and the sausages and bacon were always very high quality. The portions are a beast, you'll struggle to finish a Jumbo English, which comes with free high quality coffee, toast all for £6.
Also they serve Portuguese beer, Super Bock or Sagres, which only costs £1.80 per bottle. So you can have a beer with your fry up, which is exactly what i want to do on a Saturday morning.

I'm not too keen on Castello's for a FEB but I do go there for a proper sit down, tablecloths and all, dinner from time to time with my colleagues who are all from S. America, Spain and Portugal. It's a *great* place for dinner.

Sounds very nice but wild horses couldn't drag me away from the Electric. I normally have a breakfast which doesn't feature sausage (gasp), it has instead bacon and black pudding, along with bubble, beans, and tomatoes. I add in a fried slice cos that's what my doctor told me to do. So it's not overly heavy on the meat, which I like, but more importantly every single item is always cooked to absolute perfection, and the bubble is the best I've ever had. Pretty sure they use Cumberland sausages too, I'll clearly have to go and order a breakfast including sausage now and report back.
Anyway reading back through the thread I see I'm repeating what I posted some years ago... for clarity I have no ties to the EC other than it being my fave spot for a fry up [emoji2]

It's true that the bubble and squeak (healthy option 
) in the Electric is very good indeed.

Not Brixton or even really the surrounding area, but i want to chuck Ozzie's on Rye Lane out there as they are the best cafe i have found since Sams. A true gem in the midst of wanky brunch places selling a fry up for double the price.

12-year-old Mia-Shay St Hilaire from Sydenham died after suffering a severe allergic reaction to a milkshake because a blender containing a drink containing nuts was not washed out properly at Pop Inn Cafe, 258 Southwark Park Road in Bermondsey.
Mia-Shay was allergic to tree nuts.
She ordered a milkshake but suffered a severe allergic reaction which eventually led to her death five days later.
It is believed traces of nuts were present in Mia-Shay's drink, which led to her death.

Croydon Magistrates’ Court saw CCTV evidence which showed that Pop Inn Cafe's operator, Baris Yucel, had not properly cleaned a blender used to make Mia-Shay's milkshake, and there were substances left behind from the preparation of a previous drink.
Baris Yucel admitted six criminal charges relating to Mia-Shay's death, including not making allergen advice available or visible to consumers, failing to manage allergen contamination during the food production process and serving food that contained an allergenic ingredient that should not have been present.
He was fined £18,000 and given a 100-hour community order:
Girl, 12, died after drink made in unwashed blender
