Review of Cafe Delight

The last of a dying breed? 
These old greasy spoons are getting rarer now. Pushed out by Starbucks and places selling smoothies.
It's a greasy spoon of the old school. Formica 1970's tables and chairs, set breakfast menus (the works - eggs, sausages, bacon, has browns, bubble and squeak, black pudding etc - will set you back around £4 with an extra £1 for a coffee). Portions are massive.
Gordon Ramsey's it aint but it's a true local from the times when Clapham wasn't filled with migrants from Fulham.
The service is friendly the food is what you'd expect - on the greasy side. You'll love it when you're hungover, you probably won't if you're not. It's worth going her just to people watch. Beware the mad woman with the push bag. Beware. :-)

Hurrah! 
Yes. Go here. Pret Schmet.
Benugos. Freshly made sandwiches. Made in front of you, hot or cold, with lots of salads too. You can eat in round the back of the counter or takeaway sandwiches in nice shiney silver wrapping. Interesting breads and rolls used in them too.
It is more expensive though than you're usual lunchtime sandwich. Around £3.50 - £4.00. The special changes each day but you'll notice that over the long term they don't really which means that it can become a bit repetitive after a while (Like most sandwich shops I suppose)
Favourite: Turkey, bacon, brie and cranberry. Toasted.

Hangover?
Sunday morning, hangover, newspaper, english breakfast, brown sauce, coffee.
No blueberry muffins. No Lattes with vanilla. No wi-fi connections.
Thank God for old fashioned greasy spoons like this.
End of.

Hidden gem
One of the best kept secrets in Clapham. On Ferndale road this homely restaurant is perfect for a well priced mid week meal. Well decorated but small (the miirros make it look bigger than it is) with about 8 tables in all, its selling point - apart from the very decently priced food (Two pizzas will set you back about £12) is the homely atmosphere. No Corporate staff here, its a genine local eaterie owned and run by two french blokes. You can take the pizza's away if needed and never have to wait longer than 15 minutes for that. The menu is a bit limited and doesn't change but they do a range of specials for variety. This is what's it's about though. You know that you're not going to go wrong here. In the summer you can eat outside although it is a bit of a squash and we not sure that man in the flat next door is that convinced. See for yourself...

Review of Cafe Nile

Best Smoothies in London
Very innocuous cafe run by a very welcoming staff. Free newspapers, good coffee but the gems are their crack cocaine style smoothies which will have you gasping for more before possibly making you vomit due to over indulgence. Well, you have been warned. Very good sandwiches with fresh ingredients but more importantly delicious recipies.
If you have a hangover, we'd recommend the crispy bacon sandwiches too....
