Great coffee shop with great brunch / breakfast options and tasty coffee ☕️!
I also like the indoor seating with relaxing vibes in this busy street. Perfect spot for digital nomads looking for seating and tables for their laptop 💻

This cafe is an absolute gem. Charming interior and staff. Flavorful and smooth coffee. We had the Croque Madame (with brisket) and chicken focaccia sandwich. Both were wonderful and great value for money. Will definitely return!

Found this lovely little joint via the London Coffee App whilst on route through London.
Really impressed first and foremost with the care and attention of the coffee the friendly barista made me. It was so good I had two back to back! The beans are sourced via Redemption Roasters, which is an excellent initiative helping young offenders within Aylesbury Prison learn a craft by training them up in the world of coffee.
There’s a small collection of locally sourced cakes and pastries and a brunch menu on offer too.
It’s got a friendly unpretentious vibe and had a mixed crowd from young mums

Amazing coffee (some of the group went in for seconds!) and very yummy breakfast, although eggs were maybe a little too baked but was really flavoursome. Nice environment in the cafe and service was decent.

I knew the moment I walked in that I was going to like this place. It has a cute quaint cafe feel to it and it's very cozy. The menu was delightful and featured both brunch and lunch options. There was a fresh vegetable tart which changes daily and a variety of pastries as well. I ordered a latte and the avocado toast. Both were delightful and well made. The staff was very friendly as well. Will definitely return as the menu was appealing and I wanted to order more!

Nice little cafe on Lavender Hill, unassuming interior concealing a cosy little space inside - perfect for weekend mornings. Their menu is pretty straightforward, cooked breakfasts, avocado toasts...nothing out of the ordinary but that's no bad thing - a good breakfast is a good breakfast regardless, no? The staff are friendly here, and it's the sort of place I could chill out in for a number of hours if I had the time.

After some deliberation (avocado toast or cooked breakfast?), I went for a cooked breakfast with poached eggs (including bacon, sausage, chorizo beans, toast, and

Social Pantry is a lovely little café conveniently located opposite where I live. They claim to serve the best brunch in London, and it's not too far fetched a statement. I'm always so tempted to stroll in for my breakfast on the weekend.

I moved to London recently and wanted to have a house warming without trashing the new place. Social Pantry actually also does catering, and you can hire their café for an evening where you will be served a four course meal and you can bring your own booze for about £30. A great deal! So myself, my boyfriend and our housemates invited a total of

Very cute and and not so loud atmosphere. Good coffee, healthy juices and the best thing on the menu is avocado on a sourdough with poached eggs on top. I eat this every Saturday and Sunday. The place has a lot of potential.
