They sell vinegar, spices, honey, goat milk, pesto - all of their stock is organic and most of it is locally sourced. It will cost you a pretty penny, but if you want quality, smack you in the face with goodness food then you won't mind spending £3 on a jar of mayonnaise instead of £1.50.

This gorgeous little grocers/deli has only been open for a few months but, perfectly situated a few…read moredoors down from Herne Hill Station, I hope it's thriving. I popped in when I was checking out the area as a new place to live and was heartened that this sort of shop would be close by. Selling a variety of healthy organic groceries along with a good range of vegetarian/vegan foods including tofu and spreads, Sesami is great for grabbing supplies from on the way home from work, and there's even a cafe/coffee shop element - they sell lovely sandwiches and hot drinks all day long and even have an organic sorbet counter. I can vouch for the blackberryYUM.

The kind of chip shop where even when you're nowhere near it, it's playing on your mind and you…read morewant to be there! The second best fish and chip shop in the area, the food is good and the service is pleasant. In the summer you can take your chips and eat them on the village green just across the road. Even at lunch time, there's rarely a big queue so perfect during a rushed lunch break. There's a private car park round the back behind the Tesco Express so access is easy. So good, someone I know goes at least twice a week!

We've been a few times but I generally find it to be a bit average at the end of the day despite…read morebeing a very cool location. I feel it may be even better for an evening drink on the rooftop than the brunch-type place it primarily advertises. Service can be a bit slow unfortunately. We once ordered the granola which took nearly a half hour to arrive. They said they had to bake the granola in the oven but it seemed as if they were harvesting the wheat and building the oven it took so long. We've also gotten the avocado toast a few times but i think they've shrunk the portion size a bit. Last time I got it with salmon and while it was very good, I had to cut around some subpar pieces of salmon. Nothing bad, but I guess I had higher expectations than I should've had.

​Just a gorgeous little cafe across the Hammersmith​ Bridge, surrounded by the locals of Barnes​…read more This cafe is small but sweet with great produce​ to offer. If I were to compare their shop with a product of theirs, it would be the coffee. Rich yet light, the coffee is conventional​ which reflects the atmosphere of the shop. I don't mean your standard quality at a branched coffee shop e.g. Starbucks. By the word 'conventional',​ I am referring​ to the quality that is used in a typical Parisian​/Italian coffee shop, abroad where coffee actually has meaning. Spoonful seems to bring back this idea of what a coffee shop is actually supposed to be like. It is a shame that there are many shops that lack quality and choose the more commercial​ side but Spoonful seems to offer authenticity. Just like the coffee, the food offered is superb bringing back a taste of culture. I am grateful to have found this place and would highly recommend​ a visit​ to this small business. In today's world, It is not often that you come across shops like these. So do not take it for granted.

Super comfy chairs, nice long tables, perfect for getting a large group of people together and some cute decor. The staff are super friendly and the server realty took time to talk us through the menu and make recommendations. And I think they charged practically half of the tables phones too, which was fabulous! Totally saved me! Food wise, it's a bit on the pricey side and the portions aren't massive, you'll need a platter and a side each if you wanna eat a fair sized meal. This will come to around £15-18, but the quality is very good! I got the hot fish platter and mmm it was delicious! The wine and beer menu is very extensive which impressed and I tried out a very strange sounding IPA called Galaxy.. No, its not chocolate flavoured, before you ask. That was super strong at 6.5% and is definitely worth trying if you're an IPA drinker. All in all, if you want somewhere with a chilled out vibe for a date night or a meal with a group of friends, this could well be your spot!

A friend of mine holds a monthly event here called the Sunday Shake Off Brunch (a blues dancing and…read moreskills share event - you should check it out!), and I was very impressed with the venue today. We use a room downstairs - fairly small but perfect for our needs, with a DJ booth space in one corner, and a small bar in the opposite corner (we use this as a place to rest our drinks, etc, which are ordered upstairs. There is a bar with stools down one side of the room, sofas lining the other side and one wall has a mirror lining it. Today the room seemed to be decorated with a space theme (not for us but we enjoyed it), and they started taking the decorations down once we were done, so who knows what we'll have next time! One of the sections of our event also involved glitter getting everywhere, and they were fine with that (with advance warning!). They serve brunch until 3pm today upstairs, but we pre-ordered ours and sat down as one big group at 3pm to eat - they were happy to help us rearrange all the tables so that we could sit together properly, rather than in split tables of two or four. The brunch menu is small but varied, from salmon to duck to avocado, and the poached eggs are perfect (and fresh! The yolks are BRIGHT and rich)! The coffees were great too, and there were deals on alcohol but I did not partake on this occasion... Almost most importantly though, the staff were really friendly and helpful! An overall lovely experience, it's a shame Haunt is so far out of my way in the general day to day! Thoroughly recommended.

Most of the vendors present you with samples to try so it's sometimes difficult to choose which to go for. Today I opted for a burrito and was not disappointed. I decided on lime & coriander rice, black beans, half chicken/half slow-cooked pork Carnitas, with cheese, lettuce, soured cream and chipotle sauce. It cost £6. It was pretty tasty, and quite filling, but above all it was surprisingly neat. So much so that I got none of the burrito juice on my fingers from the last bite, like so often is the case. It's on par with some of the more established high street burrito shops, and I'd go again.
