This is my favourite cafe in the Balham/Tooting Bec area, and there are about 10. I think it used to be a dairy and has a lot of character due to its exposed brick walls and rails. You can sit here for hours typing and drinking coffee, plus there is a little back garden. It is a pleasure to sit here and drink and eat, although. I only eat here occasionally (breakfast usually) which usually tastes good. They are a bit... View all feedback.
What jimpauline doesn't like about The Nightingale Cafe:
We went here for our breakfast and were not impressed. The fried eggs looked like a child had cooked them. The sausages were dense and tasteless.The muffin was so tough we left it. The flat white coffee tasted like milky coffee with not much coffee.We love the st up and ambiance but when paying a total of 25 pounds expect better especially as they are trying to be chic and slightly up market.When we mentioned our dis...

Unfriendly staff. we were twice in series, served by two different employees and both were incredibly unfriendly. I never write reviews, but the waiters are so angry that I felt compelled to express my disappointment! it is a real shame, as the building itself is nice comfortable sitting places decent eating, but the personal really let it.
Ghastly! absolutely horrific place expensive, crawl with delicious mumias and their gigantic prams and screaming brads and offhand staff. avoid them.
Lovely relaxed cafe. I have used this cafe a few times and every time I have loved it. Great food (falafels recommended). Great decor and big comfortable tables and chairs where customers can use a laptop comfortably. Good mix of people in yesterday from mummies with children, a few business types using laptops to an impeccably turned out lady of senior years enjoying a cream cake and a coffee with evident pleasure. Nice community notice board where local people can put up notices. Friend and I occupied a table for an hour on one cup of coffee no pressure to move on. The management of the cafe are creating a pleasant place where all sorts of people can meet up and pass the time of day in...read more
A disgrace. The staff here are unbelievably rude. The scrambled eggs are consistently under cooked (salmonella) and its run by arrogant middle easterns so theres no bacon on the menu. They take a long time to serve you so if you dont need to be anywhere that day then fine. It is frequented by yuppy mummys with yuppy babies who scream alot. Avoid this place like the plague. I feel I must mention the staff here are so rude they dont deserve to still be in business.
Enjoyed a superb flat white coffe and Danish pastry sitting outside on a sunny Sunday morning while waiting for a train at Victoria round the corner. A busy road but a great place to chill and watch the Londin traffic pass by.
