What Balham says

Rated 4.8 from 47 Google reviews.

This place is by far the best coffee shop to go to in the rush hour, and any time of the day really. A wide variety of drinks and pastries to choose from. … Always having time for a chat and actually getting to know the customers, remembering orders for regulars and making the community a brighter place.

The best, absolute best coffee - and I say that as a tea drinker - it is really good!! The staff are just the nicest, friendliest people and I look forward to the one or two coffees I treat myself to on the way to work.

Great coffee, lovely friendly staff, great coffee shop. Been working local to here, I wish you were closer to where I live, going to miss my daily coffee from here.
