Deja Brew Café — Restaurant in London

Known locally as “the café as funny as it’s eggs are runny” this humble glass-fronted deceivingly high-quality cafe has more going for it than all the brunch spots in South London combined.

It’s just plain authentic! But not authentically plain. The owner/chef is a beaming smile on legs with a talent for frying eggs. The co-owner has more than just a twinkle in her eye - always first to the punchline and simultaneously as professionally efficient as Google Search.

The mushrooms were the real deal and the sausage was lovely, everything on the plate was fabulous, I tried the chef's pepper sauce another thumbs up, I won't need Tabasco in future. Good value for money, friendly, helpful staff and good food,...

I love Deja Brew. I've eaten in as a casual punter, and the service is always quick and friendly, and the food is delicious! More recently however, I have used Deja Brew twice as caterers for two film shoots. Their service was outstanding. They had large orders ready to go on time, dealt with last minute orders changes efficiently and with no fuss, and even delivered one day's order to the location free of charge! Most importantly, everyone on set (with a variety of dietary requirements) loved the food. Thank you Sylvia, I'll be...
