Café Parisienne is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, thanks to the wonderful owner, Kazim. His positivity and genuine hospitality make every visit a delightful experience. Kazim goes above and beyond to make you feel like a valued guest, and it's clear he puts his heart into everything he does.
The food is consistently brilliant, offering a delicious variety that never disappoints. It's not just the taste that impresses; the value for money is outstanding. You get top-quality dishes at prices that make you feel good about treating yourself! The ambiance is cosy and inviting, perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying some quiet time alone. I can't recommend Café Parisienne enough. Kazim and his team have truly created something special here!

If you think you can't enjoy a good meal in London without spending a fortune, you're mistaken. This place offers delicious lunches at prices that defy the norms of London and England. However, the highlight is the warmth and fun of the owner and his family, who make you feel like part of their family. I highly recommend it!

Visited this charming little café in the heart of Clapham Junction with my best mates and their kids over the weekend. They’re regulars, and I can see why! Kazim, the owner, was welcoming. He offers a fantastic range of freshly made, delicious options, including several takes on a “proper breakfast.” The service was top-notch, always with a smile, and the portions were more than enough to satisfy even the hungriest teenager.

Low quality foods sold at normal prices with nothing special, they have supermarket toast bread cheap eggs and probably the cheapest sausage you can find. Save your money and trip and avoid this place nothing special what so ever. Visiting London i thought I would try the cafes and this is probably the worst place I ate

A perfect all day breakfast and lunch place. The turkish owner is endlessly hospitable, the food and coffee are good and plentiful and there is a steady stream of extras. A welcome relief from formula and bijou cafes and eats. Support your local!

If you are in Lavender Bill area and want a delicious breakfast at a good price served with real love go to Cafe Parisienne and meet amazing Kazem - you will not be disappointed. It was an excellent start to our day sitting outside in the sunshine. Memorable and inspiring.

This cafe is simply amazing, it is rare in london to find such good quality food with sufficient quantity to be filling for such a price,
At 5.80 there panninis are amazing they bulge with fillings and ooze with the cheese I asked for. The selection of cakes and pastries is astounding and it is always busy when ove visited during normal hours. Today they where kind enough to stay open long enouvh to fill my order even though i arrived after closing. The owner is extremely freindly and makes surr you feel welcome anytime you come in no matter how busy it has been

We moved back to Clapham today after 5 years away. After a busy morning of shifting and unpacking we had really worked up an appetite and so went for a wander to find somewhere to eat. I am so happy that my partner suggested giving Cafe Parisienne a try as we had a great meal and experience. I am vegetarian and my partner is vegan and there were plenty of great value options for us both, we ordered fresh juices and sandwich/wrap. My grilled wrap was especially delicious and all the food I saw other customers eating also looked great!
As we were enjoying our meal, the friendly waiter brought over two complimentary home made juice testers that were absolutely delicious, I will definitely be ordering the lemon juice next time I go. Whilst we were settling our bill, the owner Kazim came to introduce himself and chat with us. He is so passionate about the cafe and pleasing his customers, it was really lovely to meet him and his wife and hear a bit about their story. He even gave us another complimentary treat as we were leaving, so generous!
We will 100% be returning regularly to try out the other delicacies on offer and enjoy the welcoming and friendly environment. Don’t miss out on this local gem, there is something for everyone and all served with a smile!

Cafe Parisienne has 10/10 service, 10/10 food, 10/10 ambience (love the music) all for an excellent price! The Eggs Royale is eggcellent and our favourite dish. The menu is extensive and staff are really warm and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Wow what a find this place was! The owner and the staff on shift gave lovely, friendly service from as soon as I entered, and my drinks/food arrived quickly and easily.
I've lived nearby for some time, but had never been in before. I think the cafe is unfortunate to be on one of the busier parts of Lavender Hill, with roadworks loudly running outside their door.
This is outside their control however, and all aspects of the experience they could control were outstanding. The food was very well priced, and more importantly, tasted superb.
The waffles were £4.99, and for that you got two huge, fluffy waffles, a pot of clotted cream and one of syrup, and a pot of fruit salad too- which was a lovely touch.
The coffee was excellent, the orange juice freshly squeezed, and the cafe itself was the perfect spot to have a hearty breakfast and chill out for an hour or so.
Genuinely a great experience and I'll be back for sure- thank you!

Karim's Cafe is Incredible. From the food itself (of which there is a ridiculous amount of choice), right the way through to the wonderful staff. The prices are outrageously reasonable as well, which does even more to salve any lingering hangover you might have! I cannot say enough good things about this place, It's by far my favourite cafe in London and I will for sure be back many, many more times.

Opposite Lavender Hill nick and magistrates' court is Cafe Parisienne, home of the freshly made lunchtime sandwich, grilled wraps and melts, burgers and omelettes.
On warm days the outside tables are great (why don't they sneak some extra ones in the blank space round the corner and see if the council actually bothers to challenge them?), but it's main business is the morning and lunchtime takeaway trade. I had a banana milkshake - perfectly good, made with syrup rather than real fruit, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a slosh of milk. But for three quid it was only the size of a standard coffee cup. Bigger sized takeaway cups, perhaps? Very friendly and the staff buzz about, with no wasted time. Good freshly filled sandwiches.

Very warm welcome from the owner of the Parisienne. Delicious breakfast meals served in good time & prices very reasonable. Outside dining available under a wide awning. Toilets available. Very hospitable & chatty host, who believes strongly in pay it forward. Extra food given to us & someone walking past in the rain was lent an umbrella.
Overall a great experience.

I was in London, alone, for my first time.
I just checked for a good place to eat something but I meet another thing. I meet an incredible guy, Kazim and his beautiful and warm Cafe Parisienne!
This man is a superhero, always smiling, always happy, always talking with everyone, he usually gives you something for free like an orange juice!
The food is amazing, all I eat was good taste and presentation perfect. All is cooked with love and happiness!
The price? I think you will not find another place in London so cheap for that food and service quality.
You can eat a very big breakfast for 8 pounds!
This is the best place in London!!
You must go and get this experience!
Thank you Kazim!!!!
Your friend Jordi from Barcelona!

Battersea
The Clapham / Battersea neighborhood in London offers a charming blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. Notable for the stunning Battersea Power Station and the verdant Clapham Common, this area is a visual treat for the discerning traveler. The Northcote Road Market is a gourmet's delight, offering a cornucopia of fresh produce and artisanal foodstuffs. Excellent public transport links, including the London Overground and various bus routes, ensure easy accessibility to the rest of the city. For those who prefer a quieter, slower pace, a leisurely stroll along the River Thames provides a refreshing escape from the urban hustle.
