Nice little cafe on the south side of Clapham Common, very close to Clapham South Station. It's on the posh side for a cafe; definitely not a greasy spoon, and in fact it turns into a bar in the evening. They have a sofa or two as well as normal chairs and tables. There's natural light towards the front but it's more cosy at the back.

Kake and Bob visited for brunch on a Saturday in December 2007; we arrived a little before 1pm and only had a very short wait for a table. Kake had eggs benedict with roasted vegetables photo (£5.85); the veg were tasty enough, though the eggs could have done with slightly less cooking time and the hollandaise sauce was unremarkable. Bob had the Full Monty breakfast photo (£7); he remarked that he would have liked a bit more toast (extra toast is available at £1/two slices). His sausages were real proper tasty sausages rather than the rusk-heavy deep-fried things you get in greasy spoons. Tea (£1.40/large mug) was fine; orange juice (£1.60) was tasty, with bits in, and not too sweet, but arrived with icecubes and a straw for some reason.

They have a sign up inside saying that they offer wireless interweb between 8am and 6:30pm and it's a "work free zone" after that. According to their website as of March 2008, wireless access costs £3.

Getting here: Come out of Clapham South Station, cross over the road towards the Tesco, turn left along the rather confusingly-named Clapham Common South Side (which actually runs along the east side of the common), and walk up about a hundred yards; it's behind a sort of hedge thing on your right.
