This is the south London outpost of the popular Kiwi-run coffee shop in Covent Garden, Bullet. As its name suggests, the beans are roasted in-store and are freshly ground to order. On our visit, a surprisingly saline Mandheling Sumatra coffee was used: almost sea-salty in flavour, with honey and hickory notes and an elegant smokiness. We relished its syrupy texture and creamy mouthfeel. A flat white was served on the right side of hot, but could have been thicker in texture. It also had an intensity that (fortunately) wasn't completely mellowed out by the milk.

Coffee is great but unfortunately the same cant be said for the food. We got there about 1pm and ordered. Our food came with a lot of missing and substituted ingredients e.g. no bacon, ciabata for ordinary wholemeal slices, etc. This was apparently because they had sold out of the other ingredients. This is fine but we were not told until our food was served. A BLT then became very 'at home slapped together' style with nothing decent in it i.e. no bacon or ciabata!

Service was not good (unusual for a Kiwis).

Food was very pricey for Wandsworth Rd.

I would still reccomend others go but perhaps early or only for coffee.

The coffee is great but the real reason to go is the food. Weekend brunch is a must. I recommend the Eggs Benedict; the best this side of New York.
