Caffè Latino in Southwark

Great choice of beers. Shame bar steward looked so bored / disinterested.

The premises are being refurbished, and a sign says that it is soon to re-open under another name. Hopefully it'll be as good as Gracelands was! I don't know if it'll be the same people running it...

Hassan is an outstanding owner, who makes you feel more like a guest at his home than a diner in his cafe. The cafe was buzzing on a Sunday afternoon, but he had time for everyone and even rushed away to help a couple with their buggy. My friend and I had the signature ‘Brunchie’ and Hassan’s recommendation of the Red velvet cake was on point. The cake was moist (yes, I said it!) and so good that we got the Biscoff cake too. E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T!

Have recently moved to Nunhead and this is the 4th time I have been in here each time hoping for an improvement in staff attitude. The staff particularly the dark haired boy are unfriendly to the point of rudeness, they seem very good at chatting among themselves and to their trendy mates but can barely be bothered to serve me or make my coffee. I am middle aged but went onto a super trendy coffee place in Brick Lane at the weekend and the young fashionable staff were friendly, smiley and helpful. The same in East Dulwich. I am sorry as I would've been into this cafe daily if it had felt ,ore welcoming.
