Fresh Ground Church of the Nazarene in Wandsworth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It's a nice space, but the service could be friendlier. The coffee was OK, but nothing special. What annoyed me was that they have a contactless credit-card machine to collect 'tips' alongside the machine for payment. On being told the price, I accidentally tapped the tip machine (it debited £2 or so). They don't offer table service, so I really don't know why anyone would voluntarily add a tip to the already-overpriced coffee prices. The guy in the queue behind me said the same had happened to him on his previous visit. The machine is obviously positioned to deceive. It left a bitter taste.

Excellent coffee, really good value. Also lovely croissants. Nice relaxed atmosphere and warm staff. Why go to a chain when you get something far better at an independent. Called in whilst visiting our son... wish we had a coffee shop like this where we live!

Such a nice coffee shop! The coffee is really good, the place is very cosy. I came here to catch up with a friend who lives in the area. We didn’t have any food so I can’t comment on that but the options available sounded delicious. We will come back for breakfast here next time.

Fantastic coffee shop! The barista's Esther and Nadia were great and really friendly. I loved the food and coffee that I had and it was great to see the team there enjoying what they do and helping to produce a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend

I was introduced to Fresh Ground by a family member and had a really wonderful breakfast there, with really warm and accommodating service. Since then, if I'm passing down by Battersea Rise I will always try and stop for a coffee to go. In terms of price, while it may not be the cheapest in the area, the full English is hearty and the plate is full (unlike many other places!). A lovely independent change from visiting a chain caf.

Confess that having wandered in because the place looked a bit like a Wetherspoons conversion but I could also see part of the eating area from the pavement, it took me a few moments to work out that this is a church that has a history, is part of an International body and is enthusiastically evangelical. Can't remember whether they had free wifi but before my coffee and tasty snack arrived I had read most of the introduction of the Wiki entry and found the Fresh Ground website for this London base/church. The catering facility seems to attract a predominently young mother and robust retired ladies crew but on my visit there was also a pre lunch influx of everyday Clapham folk. Also there is a general (but not oppressive) benign earnest hospitality and interest in new faces. I did not feel awkward or uneasy but was surprised at how I had got drawn inside thinking that the name on the hanging sign was a subtle pun and that I was approaching a reconditioned ex-nonconformist chapel. No regrets but I didn't sign up. Nor did my visit coincide with the daily morning service or meeting.

For a trendy looking clapham brunch spot this place had promise, but my scrambled eggs were overcooked, smoked salmon was tasteless and promised sourdough bread was actually white bloomer. Boyfriend's smoky homemade beans were mixed in with Heinz! Won't be back.

This is a unique place. The coffee shop is the best, and open 6 days a week. On Sundays there is a church service 10:30 am to 12 PM. It is open to everyone.

The chai Latte is incredible and the staff are so great, there is nothing that is too much trouble for them. I got there regularly to work and it is always lovely, it can get a bit noisy as there are normally quite a few kids around but nothing a pair of headphones cant fix. the place is light and airy and amazing to sit outside on a sunny day. Love it!

Shout out to Fresh Ground! Met some friends from America there this morning, we all agreed our mochas were good and our food was amazing. I highly recommend the Folded Egg on Sourdough with bacon and asparagus - wow!!! thanks Jason and team!

The cakes/pastries are appealing and often homemade, open for breakfast and lunch. The menu is fresh, with inventive combinations of salads, roasted vegetables, cheeses and meats. Time it carefully and you can even avoid the abundant prams and tiddlies! I opted for the hearty onion soup, served with a little pot of cheddar cheese & a wheatgerm roll. Delicious. The breakfast tea came in a generous pot with a large mug, the chocolate and cranberry muffin was not sweet at all, well made, dare i guess...homemade ? I had a homemade fruit scone before which was moorish. The staff are friendly and helpful. The decor is spot on, reminds me of "Foyles" the bookshop top floor cafe. Another menu which i shall have to work my way through. The smashed avocado on toast has my name on it.
