This coffee shop scores highly on TripAdvisor, and we have to agree. This very special café serves up some of the best coffee in Brixton. Their house espresso blend is roasted in North London at Campbell & Syme, and it changes from season to season. So locals can always expect to try something different. For the coffee aficionado, this is the place to come.
Brixton's favourite Italian coffee bar, this is a great place for a strong cup of coffee, a sit down, and a hot panini. A real credit to the local area, you can always guarantee good quality food and drink at this establishment.
Opus
Don't make do with Starbucks up the road, try Opus. And don't be driven off by its rather uninspiring façade. This coffee shop serves up great coffee and sandwiches. It's a family-run business, and the service is always friendly.
Located on Tulse Hill, this café has a warm, community-focused feel to it. Taking their blends from Volcano Coffee Works and Nude Coffee Roasters, their beans don't have to travel far as both roasters are based in London. The décor's uplifting, and it's the kind of place where you can sit comfortably with a laptop for an hour or two, sipping at a cup of coffee, of course. Watch out for the moreish pastries though.
This Brixton Hill establishment attracts the hipster crowd. It's a trendy spot, as reflected in the furnishings, but the coffee is excellent quality. The atmosphere is relaxed and laid-back, and many local workers conduct informal business meetings here. If you happen to be taking a day off from drinking coffee, there's a rather good selection of bottled beers available too.
