Browns is the place to go for high-end, carefully prepared coffee in a great environment. The soy latte (using the crème de la crème Bonsoy) is the best soy latte I've ever had! A must visit.
- DanisFebruary 8, 2015Macchiato, flat white, cappuccino: all were great choices. Also the bakes were fresh and delicious. Inly issues are the small space and lack of toilet. 9/10
If you’re not ordering the roast pork and celeriac sandwich you are missing out my friend. It is amazing. Terrific flat whites too.
Andrea TFebruary 8, 2015Among the top 30 cafes as per the London Coffee Guide: proper cappuccino (I ended up having two!) with yummy cakes just by the Overground. The bagel sandwiches look like Martha Stewart made them!
Kukkii KoppeeAugust 12, 2015Lovely coffee and sandwiches. Don't leave without trying the cinnamon doughnut muffin. Great service. Just a little small and stools are uncomfortable.
Excerpt from an excellent letter to it's customers: "Comparing a coffee from Costa (up to £2.65) to ours (currently £2.50) is like comparing burgers from McDonalds (99p) to those from Hawksmoor (£15)"
Friendly baristas, delicious food and amazing Square Mile coffee can be found in this quaint little cafe just opposite Brockley railway station.
Nick ZeroOctober 5, 2014Very friendly, warm and knowledgeable staff. If you're feeling down, come here to charge your feel-good battery. And of course, well executed cups of coffee.
Adam TaylorJuly 5, 2015Had an excellent chat with the Batista on shift about square mile coffee. Very small but perfectly designed, this shop is one for the coffee connoisseur!!!
Sugar ReiFebruary 13, 2015I had an almond croissant and coffee, both pretty good. Thou this place doesn't do British breakfast, just a heads-up. It's more of a coffee to-go sort of place. Very tiny but nice.
Everything is still great, but now there is a toilet, so there are more great things.
Everything is good! And it’s cashless so make sure you have your card/contactless.
They sell little bread pedlar white sour dough here - some of the best bread in london
The one "proper" coffee in SE4. Even without direct competition, Browns really is fantastic. Note: they don't take cash.
Amazing flat white. The croissant sandwich filled with Parma ham, tomatoes and cheese is my favourite too
Cute café in a great location with good coffee and bagels and fine chocolate bar collection.
FedericaOctober 11, 2012Just lovely. Great pizza (I'm Italian btw), coffee and friendly atmosphere. Also a few copies if the New Yorker scattered around.
PaulApril 27, 2013Great halloumi and peppers bagel - I've already eaten the other half in the photo.....yum
- Cute café with great coffee in a great location. Try the cinnamon donut muffin.
Mark AshbridgeJune 17, 2013There's the legend of a dog called Ludd. Also recently refurbished, can't wait to get back. Once local haunt to Belfast boy Foy Vance.
Ralph CowlingMarch 7, 2014A coffee shop with so little rational criticism it feels comfortable charging £3.10 for a tiny and unremarkable flat white coffee. Ignore and go next door.
Steve CookMarch 4, 2013Since their renovation, much more expensive coffee and tiny portions. Try the Broca next door, or if you're getting a train try the Matchbox on the station platform.
Christiane LinkAugust 23, 2013Nice independent coffee shop, good coffee, no wifi, one step to get in.
