Vanilla Black Coffee and Books

Editor's Review

Located among the rainbow houses and shops on Kennington Road, Vanilla Black is a cheerful coffee and book shop with yellow walls and a relaxed attitude. The counter is always well stocked with tempting cakes, pastries and cronuts, while the menu offers breakfast and light lunches with freshly made salads, quiches and avocado on toast.

There’s a great selection of drinks with coffee from Allpress, speciality turmeric and matcha lattes, iced coffee, cold brew, smoothies and loose leaf tea. Their signature Vanilla Black is a must-try for black coffee lovers with just a hint of vanilla sweetness.

Surrounded by bookcases filled with homeware, gifts and books to buy, the laid-back atmosphere and free wifi make this an ideal spot to work on your laptop, or just sit back and browse the cookbooks whilst sipping on your favourite drink. There’s even a courtyard out back which is a lovely place to sit on a sunny day.
