TLDR: Unfriendly server and got charged more than advertised price. Was very quiet when I went in so took a seat and then immediately got told off by the waiter for not waiting to be sat in an almost empty cafe. I understand waiting to be sat in a restaurant but not in an empty cafe. Ordered a flat white which was advertised as £3.70 but got charged for £4.17 which I assume was some sort of automatically added service charge / cost of eating in. It wasn’t an optional charge or and wasn’t explained. Didn’t have time to discuss as needed to leave.

Great food, excellent coffee and lovely staff. The host noticed my daughter was wearing a birthday crown and let her and her sister pick a little treat after our brunch on the house (which also gave us enough time to wait out a little summer rainstorm). It was very thoughtful and made both of my daughters’ day!

I was disappointed with my brunch here - I got the eggs royale - the quality of the food was good, however the portion was very small - one thin slice of bread, I was still hungry after ! The Hollandaise sauce was tasty but barely warm. The coffee was very good. Almost £20 later and not satisfied. Decent portion size would have made this so much better.

Last review has been edited mainly due to the rise in prices. Quite frankly the food isn't reflective of what you end up paying for a simple breakfast (pics of menu are old prices) The coffee was bitter, the pancakes were dry and portions seemed slightly smaller than before. Nice staff, nice park across the road but unfortunately I won't be back.

We have been here before sometime ago and sat outside. This time we sat inside. The staff were friendly and bubbly and very very good at interacting with the customers without seeming imposing. The brunch that we had was very good. The only downside for me was that the matcha latte was warm, and came in a glass(!) 😯. Also, though you couldn't see, the door to the toilet was always open (there could have been closed cubicles beyond), in my view this door should have always been closed. My girlfriend who did use the toilet before we left said that it was very clean. Would we come again....yes!

I took my young daughter for lunch and have been a regular since it opened pretty much the first day, I really hate to have to write a bad review. However service has been on the decline for a while. I also wrote to the manager directly and had no response. When I ordered my meal, I asked if I could swap out my poached egg for scrambled egg and the girl said yes, and I was served what I asked for. However when I asked to pay for the bill I noticed that over £4 had been applied to my bill, and when I queried it not only did it take over 5 minutes for the staff to debate it, but another lady whose name was Kate came over and said I would still have to pay more because it would have been a bigger portion, not Im terribly sorry you weren't told, or taken the service off, nothing. At the beginning I should have been informed it would be an extra charge and at that point I could have made a decision (incidentally I have swapped out eggs before here and there was no problem). However the way things were subsequently dealt with wasn't good customer service at all.

Honestly like Fawlty Towers but not funny. We waited an hour for our food. They brought us the wrong order twice and the people across from us got the wrong order three times. The server was sweet but offered no apology at all - and when the food came it was truly terrible. All cold, I got undercooked over-processed sourdough with no butter, one overcooked and one undercooked egg, and burnt chewy rubbery halloumi slapped on the plate with a few nicroherbs on top. With the number of excellent independent cafes around Wandsworth this was a stand-out for being throughly disappointing. Oh and to top it off we (and the couple opposite) also got the wrong bill.

All I wanted was something warm and healthy on a cold winters morning so we went for there winter warmer porridge with pear and cardamom. What we got was average porrage topped with a sprinkling of seeds and TWO SMALL PIECES OF FRUIT. To be fare the pear was nicely cooked and flavored but you need more than two small cubes to make a bowl of porridge any way interesting. We both had the same amount so this was obviously the standard topping size. When you factor in the inflated price because of the area this was even more disappointing and we won't be bothering to come back again

I’ve been visiting this cafe for many years and in the past the staff haven’t always been too friendly, and have appeared stressed. Now, they seem so happy and the customer service is great. I received a friendlier welcome and more attentive service than I have in years. Apparently there is a new manager running the place - well done them :) It really makes a difference when there’s a positive staff culture!

Used to be a big fan of this place, but the service over the past 6 months has been consistently sub-par. The food and coffee is still great, but you could be waiting 20 mins for a takeaway coffee (my last visit, they forgot the order completely), and food is likely a 30-40 min wait. The front of house staff, unfortunately, just aren’t at the races. Hopefully they can rectify things soon…

Update from a regular - see below for original review 2 years ago…Unfortunately the terrible service at our once regular coffee and brunch spot means a new review is required. 😞 We’ve been here so many times and it’s our go to place when we have people from out of town visiting. In all fairness, the food is still always great and the coffee too. However the service (lack of) and attitude is TERRIBLE almost every time now. There’s plenty of staff hanging around, but they all seem to be young kids who think F&J exists for them to have a job. Zero customer skills, serious attitude if you dare to ask for something and a love for being on their phones more than running orders and coffee… The final straw today was being ignored and blanked by the staff while standing in the doorway waiting for a table. This was while listening to the staff member sit chatting to the table of their family/friends and what their bill would or wouldn’t include 🙃 “Banana bread and cinnamon butter is unbeatable. Coffee and service also impeccable. So glad to have you guys on the common 😀” 2021

First time trying this coffee shop after reading reviews online, we wanted to try out their brunch. We had fresh orange juice which was refreshing and in a large glass for £4 was good value. We both had their toasties as the rest of the menu was underwhelming and uninspiring. I feel these days places have to up their game to attract new customers. Portions were on the smaller side, although was tasty enough for us to finish the plate. No sides were offered with our main and no salad was added too. Would have been happy to pay extra although £8 for a toastie warrants a little extra. Service was meh, we joked that the girl serving us probably already handed in her notice. Generally it’s a place if you’re WFH to go to be on your laptop as the majority of customers were.

It's my family favourite place for breakfast or brunch. Relaxed atmosphere. Service super friendly. In terms of food, I cannot notice that the quality has dropped recently. Same dishes but it feels the quality of the products used changed. Is that the case? Inflation might be the factor as it's been everywhere for a while now.

Unable to tell you what the food is like but the service is 0/10. We were ignored by staff, when we grabbed one to ask if we should just sit down we were rudely told to wait at the sign outside (which was not in clear view), and then ignored for a further period of time before walking away. It doesn’t take much to shout “I’ll be with you in a few minutes”.

Service is shocking in this place. Takes over 15 mins for a coffee to be made and when politely asked when it will be ready because you need to go and collect a 5 year old - to get a rude response back from a gentleman (with glasses) who was making the coffee. Not what you expect! After the wait… coffee was ok and food decidedly average. And the frustrating thing was that there was so many staff standing around… Will not be back.

I’m not one for reviewing restaurants and cafés, however, I was so impressed by the quality I felt moved to provide feedback. Generally I do resent eating out as I’m usually presented with something that I feel I could have prepared better myself should I have had the ingredients. This was one of the rare exceptions. I had the eggs Benedict with espresso hollandaise, everything was cooked to perfection and the hollandaise was hands down the best I’ve ever had, beautiful creaminess with just the right amount of sharpness from the white wine vinegar. I paired with the green aid which is made using kale, spinach, cucumber, lemon and apple juice. It’s a very refreshing and satisfying drink - perfect relief from a sunny afternoon strolling around the common. It’s a beautiful little cafe that is tastefully decorated, filled with sunlight pouring in through the shopfront (weather permitting, obviously), the staff are friendly and pleasant, and the location next to the common makes the perfect little stop off. Heartily recommended.

Creative menu includes comfortable old standards with subtle twists. The melon Bircher muesli was delicious, and the pancakes at the neighbouring table looked very appealing. Good regular coffee, and you could also get a beetroot or turmeric latte. Leave room for toasted banana bread with cinnamon butter! Service was fantastic despite it being very busy at 8am on a Sunday. The crowd had a good energy and didn't mind the extra space required for our dog (a large Labrador) or other parent's prams. Note that the kitchen closes at 3pm - everyday, I think. I'm live too far away to be a regular but I visit whenever I can.

We paid £32 for brunch (1 dish and 1 drink per person). The food was tasty but the portions are pretty small unless you order additional sides. My eggs royale were two tiny poached eggs on one small and thin sliced sourdough toast and salmon. There wad a blob of hollandaise sauce. I was still hungry after I finished. Despite living locally, I rather go elsewhere.

I like F&J. But I didn't like waiting 50 mins for my breakfast on Saturday morning, and I especially didn't like being made to entertain my two toddlers whilst waiting. But the thing I like the least is that when I raise this perfectly reasonable dissatisfaction (whilst asking for fair compensation on the final bill), being challenged by the manager as though I'm in the wrong for not expecting to wait nearly an hour for food on a busy weekend morning. During this 50 minutes, I was presented the bill after 30 mins (before the food had arrived, which clearly demonstrated the error), and was later told that the delay was due to 'training' in the kitchen. Both understandable human errors/reasons that happen and we accept will occur from time to time (and never before at F&J). It's just disappointing that the visibly stressed manager couldn't accept the error and 'own' this rare oversight (by simply apologising and partially crediting the bill), but instead to justify the obscene wait and question the legitimacy of my complaint (it's true, we really did watch our neighbouring table receive their food in less than 15 mins)! Anyway, they do a good coffee and even better breakfast, and we've never had cause to complain on other occasions visiting over the years (as per a previous 5 star review I left 4 years ago). Anyway, the manager eventually discounted the bill, probably because I wasn't giving-up (and we didn't accept the proposal to remove service since most of the staff were working hard and serving with a smile). The manager did eventually apologise, but it all should have been done more quickly and professionally, without a defensive scene of nonsense excuses and challenges infront of the other staff and customers. It's a fantastic venue (hence the regular queue) with nice waiting staff and great food so hopefully the owner/management will read this and learn to 'own' their responsibilities instead of deflecting. I will return, if welcome.

Service was slow. Had to ask to get a table. Waiter was very pleasant in all fairness. Took about 25 minutes for food to come. Had the Eggs Benedict that came with bayonaise sauce with coffee flavour and it was absolutely hideous - left me feeling sick afterwards for a few hours. Should be on a desert. DO NOT ORDER THE EGGS BENEDICT UNLESS YOU WANT TO VOMIT. £25 for Eggs B and a small cappuccino - daylight robbery given portion size and quality. Place needs a clean.

Small little coffee shop which does a mean cappuccino! Very nice place with friendly staff and the food and drinks are of high quality. It's great for collecting to takeaway too. Good location just off of the main road as it is easy to get to. I would recommend this place for coffee. Only downside I could think of was the fact there were people on laptops working in there which just ruins the atmosphere for me a little - but that's my opinion.

I used to come here almost every weekend between 2018-2020 (Pre-covid). First time back in a long time and it's still amazing. Their menu changes reasonably often - enough to have a favourite for a while before it changes. My favourites are the F&J Pancakes, the BLAT with a friend egg and the Mushroom Gatherer which currently is not on their menu 😔. Anyways, great staff, great service, great food. Get there early if going on the weekend - especially if you are a group of more than two. If you don't, expect to queue outside. They do take away coffees too.

Went for brunch with my partner and 2 friends. The place is always really busy so we were expecting to wait for a table. No problem. After waiting more than 30 min for a table they took their 15 min to bring the menus and take our order. The cafe at the time was not that busy anymore and the staff were chatting instead of checking tables. Loads of people have finished their meals and they don't bother. Food and coffee were good though that's why I'm willing to give 3 stars. When we finished just to ask for the bill and pay took another 30 min. And it was quiet. Will go back just for take out coffee as the service is literally a joke.

Me and my partner got there at 14:41, the waitress promptly greeted as at the door and asked where we wanted to sit. A lady who was sat outside was just getting up to leave and offered us her table. The waitress told us to wait so she can wipe the table down. We stood around for 5 mins, then decided to sit down as she still hasn’t come back. We then saw her taking orders from other customers and bringing food out. No worries she might have forgotten. Nobody brought us menus but there was a bar code on the table which we scanned and could see the food menu (no drinks though). Some more time has passed and we wondered why no one was coming to take our order. Then we finally flagged down a waiter at 14:57 only to be told the kitchen has just closed and we can no longer order food. Mind you, their website states the kitchen is open until 15:30 on weekends. Very poor experience

It’s not exactly a hot take, but F&J serves the best pancakes ever. I saw a complaint below about having to wait outside for a takeaway coffee. The interior is small so I don’t think this is that shocking, and is common practice in similar venues. It does get very busy on weekends after about 9.30 ish, but if you’re an early bird between 8-9am you’ll get a table straight away (prime doggo watching time too!)

No taking cash and you need to wait outside for your coffee. Wow. Wait outside, disrespectful

Una buena opción para desayunar. La carta es reducida pero para todos los gustos. Saben hacer un buen café. El personal correcto. Para todos aquellos que estén haciendo turismo: el local carga en la cuenta un 12% por "service charge". Es una práctica común en Londres y viene a ser la propina para el personal.

Just been to have lunch at the Dulwich branch. The food was delicious and the coffee is very good. But mostly the staff were absolutely delightful.

First time at Flotsam & Jetsam and would go again. Friendly, efficient service and good food at reasonable prices.

Food and drink is great here, but service is always incredibly and unnecessarily slow, especially if you're after takeout.

Excellent service and amazing ambiance. Played great music and has lovely furniture/decor so a great spot to relax or get some work done (as I did). Holly was a great server and made a great Chai. I would recommend the pastrami bagel.

¡Una cena asada increíble entregada en mi puerta en menos de media hora! Allí estaba mirando los estantes vacíos en mi armario de la cocina y mirando las horribles colas de todos los supermercados en Barnes High Street. Con mi estómago gruñendo, suspiro que nunca conseguiré una comida decente antes de las 4 pm a este ritmo. Luego me escolarizo distraídamente tres repartidores y veo este pequeño café que reparten asados. Estoy un poco preocupado, sí, las críticas son buenas, pero no hay muchas, pero me arriesgo y pido el rosbif. En menos de media hora me reciben con mi cena asada caliente y empaquetada. Estoy encantado de que esté bellamente presentado y de que todos los diferentes compartimentos del asado estén separados para que no estén todos mezclados (como ya lo había hecho en el pasado). Lo puse todo en un plato y wallah mi increíble cena asada sabrosa caliente todo lo que quieres que sea y rápido. 5/5 También pedí un batido, así que califiqué para la entrega gratuita, sin embargo, esto no fue bueno, por lo tanto, la calificación general es de 4/5.

This place serves a decent coffee and a good variety of pancakes both sweet and savoury. Would definitely recommend a visit. My kids love it.
