Browns is one of my favourite coffee shops in London. They don’t charge for extra shots; the service is great and the people that work there are friendly. The coffee is very good, always on point, whether it’s a filter; americano; flat white etc etc. The Pastries are very good quality too, sadly I am gluten intolerant so don’t eat pastries now. Special shout out to the Brockley branch.

Seriously, the best coffee shop in SE London. Their coffee is amazing, snacks are on point and everyone's so friendly here! This morning I had an 11 out of 10 experience, where I let them know that my train arrived in a few minutes so the team kicked in to action without skipping a beat and churned me out a smoked salmon bagel & coffee at the absolute speed of sound. Caught my train and I'm now happily caffeinated. Thanks!!

Contacted Browns of Brockley about hiring their coffee van for our wedding later this year. They were so quick to respond and went out of their way to help us - offering up two alternatives when we realised theirs might not be quite the right fit. They really didn't have to do this and was over and above customer service.

1 star, awfully overpriced and painfully small servings. Tiny, unclean area and not a single plug socket for working remotely. The atmosphere is dull and pushy staff.

Rip off. When you pay £3.40 for a tiny flat white, you should expect something pretty damn good, not an average cup of coffee, barely better than a nescafe. No atmosphere either.

Hi I bought two coffees this morning from the van in Victoria park (Sunday) spent £7.60 I used to rate this van highly, maybe they have had a change of staff, who knows, but never again will we buy our coffee from them. After our group drank our coffees we asked for a little drop of water for our little dog? only to be told ‘no you can get it over the bridge from a tap’ what a rude jobs-worth, he obviously is not a dog owner and he obviously does not like dogs, let’s just hope he gets turned down when he needs a little water on a hot day. Just to make it clear, yes we could have walked over the bridge but our little dog was exhausted. He gave away free oat milk for a lady to give her baby but no water for the dog, maybe next time I’ll ask for free oat milk😂. Just to answer the guy from browns of Brockley. Firstly there is no need for your rude sarcasm. One knows that one does not need oat milk to wash there hands. Secondly in future we know where to get water from in the future, and we certainly know where NOT to buy coffee. There are plenty of vans and coffee places within the park. What a shame you treat people so rudely.

This place has reached iconic status for me. They serve the best coffee you'll find in South London (and its consistently very good), and like many others have said, the pastries (which they've recently started making themselves) are to die for! The staff are mainly very friendly and it is clear that feedback is valued by the owners. Their bagels are really interesting. My wife and I don't agree on how good they are. The fillings are great, but the bagels themselves have an overbaked crispy base (which I actually really like) and can be a little bitter. 'Purists' might find fault with this. Personally, I think there's still a little bit of work to be done to perfect their home made bagels but I know they'll get there! Well done to the team!

The coffee here is SO good. The croissants and cakes are all clearly freshly made too - so, so delicious. I come here multiple times a week because it is reliably great every time. It’s also spotlessly clean in and outside. The staff couldn’t be more friendly, either. From the moment you order your coffee to where you pick it up, they’re helpful and kind. I even recently asked about a Browns art print and they gave me one for free. Don’t miss the coffee van at Brockley Market on Saturdays too - also great. I promise the queue is worth it! Can’t recommend more highly - my favourite local!

The coffee is great and the surroundig is quite calm and pleasing that makes a delightful combination. The place itself has no inner space or a covered outer part so one cannot drink a coffee during a rainy time. The pastries are also really delicious, especially the ones with salted caramel :) Size of the coffee is the common like in many other places, but it would be great to have it in larger cups - for coffee addicted like me :) -.

It's OK I would say over priced for Brockley espeically when I work at Canary Wharf and can get a really good coffee for less money. Area has changed since I grew up there in 70s but its great to be able sit outside along side of cafes and eateries with a calm setting even if the train station being across the road.

Firstly, I am writing a review of Browns of Brockley not as a customer, but as a local resident to my local park [Blythe Hill Fields SE23]. Browns of Brockley are co-sponsors to the 5th September 2021 Blythe Hill Fields 'Festival' organised by the park volunteer group called the Friends of Blythe Hill Fields. This group has been in existence since 2003 and the annual Festival is supposed to be a fundraiser event to raise funds for ongoing park improvements. The delayed Festival for 2021 has no specified park improvement fund raising objective and this follows on from many years of the same from the Friends group. I will gladly amend/remove my post if Browns of Brockley can outline to all what specified, scheduled and deliverable park improvement its sponsorship is intended to deliver for those who use Blythe Hill Fields for the other 364 days and 19 hours of the year. Blythe Hill Fields is a public park. Whilst private sponsorship for park events may have its place, the sponsorship should at least stretch further than advertising as a 'legacy' issue for a public park. I look forward to hearing back from you.

The coffee was nice but looking at the bill it was quite pricey, especially for the size. Also canned water was a con. If you are really being recycling conscious get tap water but over £2 for 330ml in a container you can't close is terrible. Only got it as I had an espresso. This is the reason for - 1 star. Lovely coffee and good location.

I felt like a pretentious treat, so Browns of Brockley came to mind as a place to indulge in coffee and maybe a vegan sweet (Broca next door is 100 times better for vegans just saying) I waited for a long long time to be paid any attention too, when I eventually was served the man behind the desk explained there was a kerfuffle going on outside that was the reason for the wait, he then continued to describe the goings on in peculiar manner, I wont repeat what was said...... but lets just say he blatantly associated knife crime to skin colour and uncomfortably told me he presumed a innocent member of the public was involved in the scuffle based on the fact he was black - all in all a odd conversation which lead me to believe he was a little bit racist .... gross I know ... the coffe was ok but the service was terrible and you know what instead of the awkwardness of potentially racist members of staff and ponsey coffee snobs im going to go back to the better coffee shop next door , a cafe who are openly inclusive, support BLM and are queer friendly !! i cannot adivse you enough to skip this bougie over priced establishment - and go to broca, a colourful and all round better place, :) :)
