Balance Cafe - Lambeth

Great coffee, friendly people, tasty almond croissant in a convenient but tucked away corner couldn’t ask for much more

Located right across the post office in Brixton, it was interesting how they never ran out of customers while still on partial lockdown Tried their almond croissant which was so good, probably one of the best I’ve tasted. They also had some salmon and cream cheese in a bun, which looked really tempting. Orange juice was ok, fresh from a juicer, but a kot of people lining up for their warm drinks. A hidden gen indeed.

Came to this place as I have a friend that works there, so I said I would check it out. It all looked great, especially that last piece of salmon with what looked like pesto on top. A woman in front of me places her order, takes the LAST piece of salmon. I confront her, and explain to her about how I had been in prison for years, and have been waiting all this time for salmon, yet she refused to give it up. All kidding aside, I had the tuna instead, with a few cold salads and it was all amazing, i will go back for sure. Thanks to the woman who offered to eat the tuna and give me her salmon :

If you want a place to hang out in downtown London in a more local neighborhood without all of the tourists, this is your place. Great paninis, juices, desserts, etc. and you can eat indoors/outdoors.

If you pop up this place, you can enjoy a lovely breakfast and a nice coffe. Service is quite all right. Not cheap but at least the quality of the what they serve is not bad.
