Cafe Blanca is a very rare place indeed. It has staff that actually care about the cafe. (Most of the other cafe's around London have staff that come and go so quickly they don't even have time to learn the customer's names.. but Cafe Blanca has a regular local clientele that obviously one the unpretentious atmosphere there. As well as this they offer a good range of food at quite the best prices in Battersea. They will make you what you'd like to order.
