brixton village market

A perfect discovery on a Sunday in London. An Aussie girl I worked with in France last year said the best place for coffee in London was Federation Coffee http://federationcoffee.com/, and I found a note in my phone today reminding me. The quirky little designer shops we stumbled across looking for this cafe were a complete surprise, although not all were open today, and we found the place jampacked and spilling over somewhere near the middle of the market. All coffee beans are roasted on site and they are currently using a blend called 'contraband' described as nutty and chocolatey.  My sister opted for a flat white and I had a double macchiato showing off perfect 'latte' art and tasting thick, rich and decadent. We devoured a Croque Monsieur to die for - light crispy buttery toast dripping with mustard and cheese and sweetcorn fritters accompanied with harissa yoghurt dip. I do so love a twist. Little bit of kiwi nostalgia there, we grew up on sweetcorn fritters ymmmm. I want to go back!  http://brixtonmarket.net/
