Brixton Market is many things: it is a source of local style food and clothes for local people, a place for tourists to gawp, and a place to sit and be part of the local furniture with designer artisan drink and food.
There are loads of places to eat and drink, and they start getting busy around noon. I just needed a cup of coffee before going to lunch (see subsequent entry), and this was a random choice:
Not much to see, but a good strong cup of Americano with hot milk. They get so busy that you have to queue to order, and then wait for the coffee to be delivered. Finding somewhere to sit can be tricky.There is home spun snacking food as well, but as I was waiting for lunch I resisted. The guy before me in the queue spent almost £20 on coffee and snacks for three, so it is slightly above average in cost, and the cost for the cup of coffee above was £2.20 which is about average for London at the moment. I wonder what their margins are?
The coffee was robust/strong and was not like some of the mass chains. I think this is a good one. Good and hot too.
They have a fairly non-informative web site on www.federationcoffee.com . Unlike some of the restaurants, they are open on Sunday.
oohhh, you never said! noted for the future xx
