Brunch

Saturday morning brunch is a perfect way to start your weekend. One of my close friends from school suggested we brunch at brew cafe on Northcote Road, Clapham. The closest station is Clapham Junction and the popular cafe is located just over five minutes walk down Northcote Road.

It is more than likely you will spot the queue before the cafe. brew does not take bookings, so most Saturday and Sunday mornings there is a 10-15 minute wait for a table. If you are a larger group expect a longer wait.

On entering the cafe it is a bit of a squish. Despite the very small area they have packed in as many tables as possible, so don't rock up expecting to have any privacy.

The brunch menu is like no other. We started with a freshly squeezed cranberry, pear and ginger juice. I absolutely love ginger so it was an easy decision to pick from the array of fresh juices and smoothies available.

As for the food, there is a huge choice ranging from savoury croissants to fruit, to sweet pancakes to eggs and bacon. A couple of things caught our eye but we both chose eggs on sourdough bread:
- Scrambled eggs with chorizo
- Poached eggs with pea puree and chorizo.





Staff were friendly and super efficient, especially for the very small and fast paced environment they have to work in.

Prices
Juices: £4.50
Scrambled eggs with chorizo: £9.50
Poached eggs with chorizo: £10.50
All breakfast dishes range for £3.00-10.50

The quality of the food at brew is outstanding. Lunch, dinner, cakes and pastries are also available and I will no doubt be back to sample more of the breakfast menu in the near future.
