<![CDATA[Greater London - Lambeth - Clapham Common - Eating, Drinking and Nightlife - Cafes - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Just like Amelie... http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/lambeth/clapham-common/cafes/macaron-sw40jd.html#r53675 One of those places that make you wish you were French, or at least could live in Paris for a while.....

It doesn't have a huge range of foods, but why not stick with the tried and tested French favourites and the window seats are lovely overlooking the common. There is a shared table with candles for cosier days.

Whilst it's busy on Weekend evening it's often chilled and relaxed most week nights. The weekend breakfast comes highly recommended. The bar is starting to look a little tired on the inside but the front garden still cuts the mustard..

Unlike some of the area’s offerings though, this wood-floored café is lovely, run by a young family who seem to genuinely love children, rather than seeing them as a way to make money or compete with their neighbours. You can sup delicious smoothies and coffees outside, or choose to stuff your face full of paninis in the comfortable, but basic, ground floor indoors. Everything is tailored towards kiddies – the menu describes itself as nutritious and child-friendly, and downstairs is a small person’s paradise. There are loads of toys and things to dribble upon, and most days of the week see organised activities which’ll cost you a few quid to join in on, whether it’s rhymes, sing-a-longs, puppetry or general mucking about.

Fuel could possibly serve up one of the best breakfasts in London. In return for £4.75 you get two sausages, beans, hash brown, an egg and three rashers of perfectly cooked bacon.

It's not greasy and the staff are friendly.

You would be easily forgiven for not noticing this otherwise inconspicuous buiding, but I would recommend that you join the queue. Inside you will find a relatively low key, no frills cafe but the breakfasts and smoothies make the wait the worth while. Quick service, good food, and cheap prices, and if you can persuade the waitresses to smile, you're doing well!
