Or Old Faithful as I call it. Been frequenting this place for literally years as it's the only true greasy spoon between Colliers Wood and Wimbledon. Great portion sizes, good value and there's a secret garden so you can dine al fresco should the weather permit. In an area full of pretentious eateries touting smashed avocado on sourdough bread, check out Cafe SW19 for a much needed dose of breakfast how it used to be.

My favourite local Cafe for sure..... Gardens great in warmer weather. I don't understand some of the bad reviews especially relating to it being expensive. Ignore those. Also about the owner being rude. I've live in this neighborhood for 7 years and he very very very lovely and friendly. I can 100% verify this as the best cafe in the area. I love it and come regularly. Always piping hot food, great customer service and very reasonably price.
