Battersea gets a tiny bit cooler

Those of you that know me will know well enough that I'm anti posh. Saying that I appear to live in the middle of posh land. Fun as it is to mock / try and trip up all the little and big tarquin's roaming around the place - most weekends I escape to the east or north for a morning coffee.

So I was intrigued to read about a local coffee spot which was considering venues in Shoreditch and ended up in erm well clapham junction. This place was within 10 minutes of where I live. Quite unbelievable.

So in true south london style ; me , my ugg's and my gillet ( someone shoot me please, and ideally before I start bleaching my hair and get a labrador) head on over to check it out.

The colours are good - Grey with some sunny yellow - the design of the place is warm yet rugged; cool yet still comfy and welcoming. It made me think of how many of my friends would like it ( Maartje and Nicky especially).

My flat white looked beautiful - little bubbles on the surface, we both ordered a ciabatta with egg mayo and smoked bacon - it turned up in galvinised steel boxes and baking sheets - tasted completely delicious and made me smile. Tea was served in a sunny yellow cup, milk in a minature milk bottle.

It's love, I'm coming back - just don't let the yummy mummies know.
