My favourite place in Balham: latte is the best and ham & cheese sandwich is a killer!!! Not mentioning a very friendly team and great service...
Love this coffee shop - I don't go often enough... Excellent coffee, relaxed ambience and friendly staff - what more could you want? Had 20mins to kill this morning before the gym and stopped off for a beautifully smooth and strong coffee. Had left my phone at home so picked up one of their travel guidebooks and drifted off to another place entirely - left feeling as relaxed as if I'd had an hour long massage, for the price of a cup of coffee - think this might be my new Friday regime :-)
Lovely coffee shop! Amazing food (especially the cakes!), friendly staff and good drinks. What more could you ask for? I thoroughly recommend it and I look forward to my next visit :-)
Utterly delicious - coffee, hot chocolate and breakfast burrito are the best I've ever had 😊
delicious coffee and a cozy setting. And thank you to Richard for his kind gesture on a cold day!
A lovely quaint coffee shop, nice coffee and cakes, staff very helpful

Found this new coffee shop in Balham; with nice staff, good cakes and great coffee
Highly Recommend!
Relaxed coffee shop, hard to stand out in such an established area but ETDG comes out on top...
A welcome new addition to Balham. Good coffee and cakes and a friendly welcome. Mercifully free of yummy mummies and their marauding offspring when I visited...a rarity in this area!
Independent coffee shop. And great coffee at that!
Great to pop in for breakfast - lovely coffee and croissants to start the day!
Best long black in London!! Lovely little shop.
Good coffee and sandwiches and friendly staff.
The coffee is worth going to Balham for.
An absolutely lovely place to enjoy a mocha and work on your laptop for an hour or two! The name does not lie--I was looking for an escape and was not disappointed. The grilled halloumi and mixed pepper sandwich was delicious as well! Great music too. Didn't even put my headphones in. :)
Less crowded and noisy than nearby cafes so more appropriate for working on your laptop. Decent cakes and interesting Mocha with bits of chocolate as in photo. Nothing fancy about the décor or ambience.
Good coffee. Warm friendly service. Pricing on menu looked fair and the breakfasts I could see looked and smelled GREAT! Just coffee today but will be eating here on next visit to Balham. Nice little spot.
Had a full English breakfast here that was okay, but I like that it’s independent. The milkshakes are great and my friends pancakes looked amazing, I had a bit of food envy! The pastries and cakes all look really yummy and we managed to get a table fairly quickly for a Sunday, we just had to wait on the sofa seats for about 10 mins first.
There’s a no laptop policy on the weekend which I think is really good.
I really like this cafe! The atmosphere is nice and relaxing. The coffee is lush and the sourdough bread sandwiches are delicious! Try the ham one! Only reason I didn't give five stars is because the seating is a little cramped especially when it's busy.
Love the cappuccino here, including the decaf which tastes great, and the brunches are yummy!
I went there for lunch with my wife last Sunday.
I had an English Breakfast and my wife had he smashed avocado.
The bacon was quite delightful, with nice crispy bits on the edge of the fat. It apparently comes from a local organic butcher, so by coming here I am supporting 2 local businesses!
My wife was also pleased with her smashed avocado.
Service was friendly, and the coffee has a good flavour. Noticeably better than the chains down the road.
Excellent coffee, great weekend breakfasts, and delicious cake. The only thing I'd change about this fantastic cafe is the table layout, but everything else is absolutely perfect.
Lovely little cafe - a real find! We popped in for brunch as everywhere else was queuing, shut or ridiculously expensive and we were so glad we did! Lovely food (loads of choice, so we found it hard to choose), very reasonable prices, fab service and a great atmosphere :) we will definitely come back
Popped in yesterday for a cup of tea and cake and was very impressed. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere and the service was second to none. The cakes are very nice! Highly recommended.
Popped in there as I needed to breastfeed my son, the waitresses were lovely and I wish I went there earlier so I could have tried the cakes. Great as well as the was a baby changing unit.
Good workspace. Nice coffee. Quiet. Good for study or working from home. Awesome 25 pounds for unlimited coffee during the week option.
Great coffee, Richard is super friendly and it's a good place to work. Definitely one of my favourite coffee spots.
Cozy little spot in Balham just off the main road, friendly atmosphere and amazing staff. Coffee & cakes is great too!
Proper flat white, and decent brunch food selection. Minimum £5 for card payments, seems like the place to go to work on your laptop.
