Editor's Review

The inside of this mint-green fronted café looks as well-ordered and comfortable as an IKEA showroom. The open plan room is part-dissected by a bookcase; one half is a normal café as you’d expect, but the other half is a workspace full of super-fast WIFI and sockets hanging from the rafters, and for £2 an hour you can sit here with unlimited access to Ozone filter coffee.

The filter coffee is also available in the rest of the café (the blend changes regularly, so you can ask the staff for the week’s bean origin) amongst a range of sharp coffees, loose leaf teas from Brew Tea Co., and Brixton Brewery beer to treat yourself for all the productivity you’ll probably achieve here. With the tagline ‘Eat Work Share’, the focus is clearly on collaboration, so there are plenty of communal tables and benches and, not forgetting that ‘Eat’ comes first, the food is centred around brunch – the main attraction being multiple variations on the sourdough/avocado/chilli oil staple.
