Brickwood Putney

I can confidently say that their famous banana bread absolutely lives up to the hype. From the very first bite, you can taste the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth, with a texture that is wonderfully soft on the inside while still slightly caramelized on the edges. It’s clear that they use high-quality, fresh ingredients, because the flavor is incredibly rich and comforting. What truly elevates the experience, though, is the butter served on the side. It melts beautifully into the warm banana bread, adding a creamy, velvety layer that enhances every bite. The combination is simple but exceptional, and it’s obvious why this dish has become one of their signature items. I’ve tried banana bread in many cafés across London, but Brickwood’s version stands out by far. I was also pleasantly surprised by how filling it is. Despite being a sweet treat, it’s satisfying enough to enjoy as a light breakfast or even a midday snack. The portion size is generous without being overwhelming, making it perfect to pair with a coffee or flat white. Overall, Brickwood Putney Café offers an unforgettable banana bread experience and delicious, comforting, and truly worth the visit. Their coffees are also incredibly delicious.

A gem hidden away from the busy London. We went here on a weekend morning. The atmosphere indoor and outdoor was lovely with sunshine. There are real plants at each table. The waiters/waitresses on that day were new but they were a lovely and welcoming bunch of people. The owner was very attentive. I ordered a cappuccino and blueberry buttermilk pancake. They were absolutely delicious! The portion was just right. The pancake was fluffy, and the blueberry compote was not too sweet and a delight. So much so we went again the next day. I ordered the same thing and the Missing Melbourne smoothie— probably the best smoothie I had! My friend ordered Smashed Avocado and Flat White - he loved them too. Overall, a highly recommended place for coffee break, brunch, lunch - I even saw some brought a laptop to work (there are plugs at most tables with USB port lol).

Great place!! We sat outside which was nice with the weather, our table was close to the road but the traffic was not bad and the bushes blocked off the view and gave us some privacy. The food was really nice and with great portions, I could not finish my breakfast burrito it was so big! The mushrooms and truffle toastie was also amazing. Had a great chat with the blond girl but didn't catch her name. Overall would recommend.

This place has been a few things but this looks like the exact fit for the area. Lived here 10 years and while the location as a little further down its worth the few extra minutes walk as the venue is by far more open and appealing then the run of tiny congested cafes on Lower Richmond Rd. An amazing sun trap with lots of tables in a sunny garden and the open layout is really fresh. the staff were nice and i was suprised with quality and presentation of food considering a cafe. Finally a decent cafes!
