Brickwood Coffee & Bread

Dogs are as welcome as their owners at this Balham coffee and bread spot, where outdoor tables make it a natural pit stop on the neighbourhood's morning rounds. The hours are admirably dependable — 8am to 4pm, seven days a week — and with dine-in, takeaway and delivery all on offer, plus a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, it works as well for a lingering morning as it does for a quick coffee en route.
