Batch & Co Coffee SW2 (Streatham Hill) — Restaurant in London

Relaxed atmosphere in this relatively new cafe in Streatham ...welcomed edition in an otherwise relatively impoverished coffee triangle (save for estate & co - you'd have to head out to Dulwich or Clapham/balham for your nearest (decent) coffee fix).

We weren't even acknowledged for the delay—it took more than 25 minutes to serve two straightforward breakfasts. I enjoy having breakfast with my partner, but the wait was so long that when his fried eggs on toast arrived, mine were cold. The place wasn't even busy, with four members of staff behind the bar. Not...
