From the menu it is clear they do some brunch and lunch items and if you are there late enough I'm sure they must do something around dinner time. They had a selection of alcoholic drinks that I could see so if you fancy something stronger with your brunch or lunch it's possible. The staff were polite and helpful so no problems there. I guess the reason I only went to 3 is down to the soz did the take away cups! I'm all for supporting the little independent it come on guys get some bigger cups in.

That was until Helen started talking about bacon, and her desperate need for it, oh and she also wanted orange juice. At this point I suggested that we go to the shop, she moaned weakly - a bit like an unhappy bird cry. I knew at the point I was going to have to find her a proper fry-up and soon. So off we trotted to find some bad ass fry-up action near my new abode. That was when we stubled upon the delights of Leo. Now I'm not sure if this is a friend of the other greasy spoons Leo's I have been to but it was pretty damn good. The ketchup was vingerery, the bacon greasy (Helen's not mine) and the service was amazingly surly. Just what I like from a top notch greasy spoon. It doesn't pretend to be anything it's not, juts a really extensive menu, starting from £2.50 for scrambled eggs on toast and a great space for you to hang your head in shame and chat about the night before. Leo, you're a top fella!

Well done…read more I am happy to say that, although I liked this place when it was it was take-away only, I rather love it now that we're allowed to come in and stay awhile. The interior is cozy and quaint; it doesn't hold an enormous amount of people, but I've never seen it completely full, either, so chances are you'd be able to snag a seat here, no problem. They also have a few tables and chairs outside, if that's your preference. During the lockdown, I fell in love with their toasties, (the avocado and halloumi toastie is amazeballs), but now that their full menu is back on, I had to rave some more about the sheer deliciousness of it all. While a bit more expensive than the smaller toasties, some of their more decadent options are definitely worth the price. My top 2 (thus far), are the Capuchin and Grivet. The Capuchin is a hefty portion of sweet potato hash topped with a perfectly-balanced mix of chorizo, seedless jalapeños, pomegranate seeds, a poached egg, and a side of sweet chili chutney. It may sound weird, but trust me it works. Crispy, sweet, salty, spicy... a symphony of flavors in your mouth. The Grivet is a smaller- yet no less filling- dish in the form of a breakfast sandwich filled with a generous serving of thick-cut bacon, poached egg, sweet chili chutney, finished with a slathering of creamy avocado, all wedged in between a soft brioche bun. It's a breakfast of champions, any time of the day. The rest of their menu still includes the old favorites, like pancakes & waffles, smoothies & cold-pressed juices, full breakfast plates, toasties, and of course, coffee & tea. And really, the service couldn't be better. It's the perfect neighborhood joint.

Inside instead the story was totally different and it seemed to us as if we had gone thorough a secret door to a buzzing, warm and cosy coffee hive full of people enjoying their weekend breakfast. The staff are quite friendly and welcoming but most of all the coffee is super smooth and pleasant. My daughter enjoyed a babyccino, a strawberry juice and a slice of lemon cake - which, by the way, she ate all even if we were just coming back from a birthday party. This is a place where I'll now go back to every time we'll be around Tooting!

Actually largely due to the stupid hidden name the outside is quite appealing, there's a few chairs and no stupid promotional promises about having the best coffee east of the originating tree in the Amazon. Inside they do lunch, all good homemade stuff and breakfasts too. There is only one big wooden table in the middle of the room so the feel is definitely someone's kitchen and not their business. I wouldn't go with groups because you can't really sit down very comfortably - in fact the less people the better. Totally unintimidating to be alone here so I'd say that's your best bet. Good coffee and comfortable setting.

My friend and I both ordered "biggest," which consisted of two eggs, toast, two sausages, bacon, baked beans, tomatoes, a hash brown and a free tea or coffee. it seemed a little average-sized considering it was the "Biggest" option, but it was good and filling nonetheless. The place seemed to be popular, there were even groups of police officers and road workers, a sign that it was a local favorite. The price was the best part, 5 pound including the free coffee/tea.
