This is a great little café right on the platform. Not so much because it has exceptional coffee or food, but because it’s warm and they don’t care if you hang out in there without buying anything. And because they do, I tend to buy stuff from them. So I guess it works overall. The coffee is decent and good for station coffee. The pastries are standard and nothing really to write about. But the service is friendly which is even more impressive given the number of grumpy commuters that go through there on a regular basis. Overall, props for making my day a little better to start!

This Puccino’s café is actually in the station, and the guy who’s behind the counter remembers literally everyone’s usual, he rocks! Every time I walk upto the counter, he goes ‘the usual?’ and to find service like that, and with a smile, in London, is very rare! Unfortunately you can’t actually get to Puccino’s unless you’re about to board a train, as you have to go through the barriers to get to the platforms! But if you’re at Balham station, and you fancy a cuppa, their tea is sooooooo nice, and their service is even better :)
