Browns of Brockley

Can't understand why this is more popular than the cafe next door. . . coffee is very average - too strong and bitter; have had plenty better square mile coffees, and food is steep. Bagels from brick lane??? Take the overground there and buy one for half the price!

I know this review is two years old, but let's clear it up – they don't serve Bluebottle now (unfortunately). It's Square Mile. It's a good cafe, nice chocolate eclairs and nice staff who make decent coffee.

Best coffee in the south. Great food. Lovely staff. Great Gin and Tonic. 3 stars is just wrong, Time Out!

Can't believe you guys gave Browns a stingy 3 stars - it's by far the best cafe in Brockley. Their coffee is out of this world and Ross and the other guys are some of the friendliest people you could meet. Plus the interior is understated and chic, and the food is lovely. A hidden gem.

Pretty much a completely unhelpful review! went along to the cafe myself the other week, the staff were so friendly and welcoming chatting with you. The coffee was gorgeous and my boyfriend said the hot chocolate was so good that he ended up having more than one. Had a blue cheese, pear and rocket sandwhich on walnut bread, practically heaven it was amazing toasted. They do loads of bagels on a saturday which they buy fresh from brick lane and prepare themselves. Theres also some gorgeous pastries and cakes. Our new favourite place, been recommending it to everyone. cindy

whats the point in reviewing the taste of the coffee only - surely the café itself should be reviewed - things like ambience, service - and food as well thanks! ben
