Brixton Blend

Just opposite Brixton tube entrance, Brixton Blend is a lovely quiet oasis. The coffee is wonderful, naturally. Nice small food options, check out the various sausage rolls (incl yummy spinach and feta). The real delight is the, always friendly, staff. The owner is a nice guy and his staff follow his lead.

Have been a few times. Real nice coffee and place. Staff are very friendly and they have a small but good selection of cakes and savoury items, some vegan. Inside and some outside seating available. Would get 5 stars if it didn't charge £0.50p for milk alternatives. Most people were ordering oat so they have demand to not over charge for opening and using a carton. Especially when coffees are £3.30-£3.50 anyway.

A friend and I joined one of Gary's relaxed coffee training session last Saturday evening. We had such a great time learning about where coffee beans come from, tasting notes of different beans and blends, the correct grind of beans etc, as well as how to make an expresso on a proper coffee machine. Gary is very knowledgeable and shares his passion of coffee in his courses. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in where our beans come from and how to make a better cup of coffee. The course also explains why it is always worth waiting at a specialized cafe for a good coffee. I will come back soon.
