Macaron

There are plenty of cheaper & older coffee shops in the area, but this delightful boulangerie/tearoom has already become a neighbourhood favourite. Get here early to nab a table for a leisurely Parisian-style Saturday morning. The window of freshly baked delicacies is enough to get locals out of bed for bread & breakfast croissants. Throughout the day, you’ll usually find something here to drag you off The Pavement – from quiches & sandwiches at lunchtime, to delicate patisserie & excellent ice creams for afternoon tea. The clientele ranges across the Clapham spectrum: from hardened city folk to babes in arms. The yummy mummy brigade seem especially comfortable, feeding titbits to their tots for treats. Choose your moment carefully if you’ve an aversion to toddlers, or get a takeaway.
