This is by far the best cafe in the area! The pastries and bread is always fresh and just to die for. You can tell that the bakers take so much care in what they do.
The coffee is great too. Having two options on the blend is quite a bit of fun as I can change it up depending on how I feel that day.
It can get quite busy but that's just a sign of a good cafe! It's always been worth the wait and the super kind staff are always as fast as they can be and apologetic when it takes a while.
Wonderful bread, coffee (and wine, of course) served by 'salt of the earth' people. Visit christophersbakery �
The best sourdough in Herne Hill, freshly made so you can pick it up warm in the morning! Great little deli with all the delicious ingredients and store cupboard essentials you might need.
Amazing coffee, sexy staff and some of the best pastries known to humanity! Especially recommend the pan chocolat and the cheese and marmite swirl
Great bread coffee and sweet treats. Also has useful cooking condiments like white miso and every type of peanut butter you might need! Staff are lovely and super friendly which makes it feel like the perfect local.

Just stumbled over this gem of a place. Having treated myself to a delicious brunch of fluffy scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on nutty bread I am stuffed. Shame really, as I've just spotted something mouthwatering on their lunchtime specials board that would go rather spectacularly with one of the impressive selection of wines they've got. If only I'd been born a lady who lunched!! I'll be back with friends. Thank you.
Flourless choc cake is absolutely stunning. My favourite dessert of all time! The workers are always so kind and wonderful. I love this bakery!
Best bread and Coffee in this area by a mile.
Great selection of lovely bits get my curry jars here as well. So good!!!
Staff are lovely and understandably doing their best with Social Distancing and have set up everything as best they can. Service can be slow but only one staff member working completely understand. It is worth the wait!
Just thinking about their bread makes my hungry.
Best coffee and they always remember your preferences! Artisan bakery and other fine foods
It’s amazing. The bread is so nice, the people are wonderful and the pastries are great. There’s gonna be a queue when you get there but it’s there for a reason and well worth the wait. Cinnamon buns are amazing and I love the croissants. They also sell really nice bits and bobs in there and i bought some amazing jam to go with the croissants.

Pricey. And a bit overpriced. But the focaccia is INCREDIBLE (and affordable). Staff is amazing and super sweet. Feels like a family.
This is a lovely cafe / deli. I must confess that I haven't yet tried their bread, though it seems very popular and there's a lovely range. But the coffee is super, the pain au choc I had this morning was top notch (they look unassuming but so good!) and they have a great selection of cakes etc. The ginger berry oat slice was delicious. There's also a really nice range of deli stuff - jams, preserves, nut butters, granola, chocolate, a couple of cheeses. It does get rather busy of a morning and it can be tricky to find a spot to sit in, especially if it's not all fresco weather, but it's pretty cosy! Staff are at their friendliest when it's not as busy, and they did forget my coffee today, but I can forgive the odd hiccough for the excellent quality!
