Parissi in Lambeth

Parissi is my favourite spot in Brixton. No it's not the cheapest but *everything* is home made and top quality. The cakes and pastries, the lunchtime frittata and the salads are all amazing. Spiros the owner is always there, he works hard and he really cares even if he's not always the friendliest! The staff are lovely and it's just the best place to catch up with friends or linger with coffee and a book. It's cosy inside, with more tables out back in the hidden garden. A really special place.

We called in for breakfast and were very pleased with our experience. The food was tasty, the staff welcoming and the garden was a lovely little spot to relax. We chose shaksuka and baked eggs, both were tasty yet the baked eggs had the edge. The garden area has been screened off from the rest of the car park to create a peaceful little spot to sit. We knew our dishes would take a while to prepare and had allowed plenty of time luckily as we were there for about 90 minutes. This was the most expensive brunch we've had for a while, probably because we followed the recommendation and added an extra to each dish, also the 12.5% service charge compounded that (I would usually choose to tip 10%).

Excellent!!! Been back many times, sampled a lot on the menu, with a variety of friends/family. Attention to detail and flavor is of the highest standard, coffee is excellent, and the staff great. Hidden gem for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tried this great bakery coffee shop today for the first time Really good coffee and cake Really friendly staff

Undeniably the food on offer is great, but I have to say every time I visit the staff are rude and not welcoming. I understand that weekends can be busy but they could at least see this as a positive and try to be welcoming accommodating and polite to customers. The staff often argue or speak rudely to each other which kills the vibe in my opinion. Secondly, this half filled coffee was a bit crap...

Maybe it's just because I live Up North and am used to reasonable prices, but whilst this cafe was lovely, with good coffee and adequate (but not exceptional) pastries, I did have a bit of a "how much!?" moment when charged nearly £20 for two cappuccini and two cups of tea, and 4 pastries. Also a bit odd that we were invited to sit in the outside area (which was pleasant enough) when there were empty table inside. Nice enough place, but a slightly weird experience

A wonderful menu served by amazing people. Warmest of welcomes to a beautiful outside seating area. The food was amazing!

I had two dishes I wouldn't normally choose. Both were excellent. Wonderful salad with loads of roast vegetables. Then a really exceptional Basque cheesecake - not stodgy or clawing, but beautifully light and moreish. It's all home cooked - you can see members of the team preparing the food - it's original, and it's terrific quality.

Visitamos Parissi el domingo pasado a las 10 de la mañana. Éramos un grupo de tres hombres y un bebé de 1 año. Pedimos desayuno y café y nos sentamos alrededor de dos pequeñas mesas que solían ser mesas de máquinas de coser. Cuando pedimos y nos sentamos, el chef (¿dueño?) Salió volando de la cocina y dijo "muchachos, tendrán que mudarse. Cada mesa es para cuatro personas". Las mesas son pequeñas y quería que nos amontonáramos alrededor de una pequeña mesa de máquinas de coser y comiéramos nuestro desayuno. Una de las mesas ni siquiera tenía una superficie plana, tenía una tapa elevada que ni siquiera sostenía dos platos. Su enfoque nos hizo sentir incómodos y muy desagradables. ¿Quizás fue porque teníamos un niño pequeño con nosotros? Notamos que no tienen sillas altas, así que ¿quizás no éramos la multitud objetivo que él buscaba? Gastamos alrededor de 40 cuando visitamos, así que no era como si estuviéramos comiendo un café y bebiendo su agua del grifo.

Great coffee with fresh orange and pomegranate juice followed by a choice of freshly cooked/prepared dishes make this my favourite place for lunch/brunch. It is worth paying a little more for great quality and a relaxed atmosphere.

I went on recommendation of a friend. Be aware of ordering anything with Pecorino Romano! I was served a very small portion with two miniature slices of bread (the end bits), a few sliced plum tomatoes, a quarter of an avocado, half an egg and a finger size layer of rocket...all for the modest price of £11.70. And no-one likes to be patronised. I was told that due to the high price of this particular cheese, everything was weighted and cost accordingly! Well, it didn't say this on the Menu, when I placed my order! So, the menu was misleading. I should have been warned in advance to make an informed choice! No apology, just made me feel small.. Having travelled and lived in Italy for the last 10 years! I won't be stopping again in Parissi!

Located a few doors down from Dogstar slightly away from the main Brixton village, it has several seats inside and a cute courtyard out back. I have been struggling to find a breakfast/brunch place that doesn’t just do eggs Benedict! The menu has so many choices from french toast, shakshuka to creamed eggs. Everything is freshly made and the gentleman who was working there was real friendly and engaged in conversation with all the customers. The deli counter with cakes, salads and sandwiches looked delicious, so I will be returning to sample these! The prices are a little steeper than some other places in Brixton with similar cuisines but the food is of a high quality. I would recommend getting there when it opens on weekends to guarantee a seat.

We visit from Portugal regularly to see our son in Brixton and have been regulars for over 2 years. The owner Spiro is the most sociable, informed and friendly guy you could hope to meet. A healthy vegetarian menu with the fabulous Herman in the kitchen. Please don't miss this place if you're in Brixton/ Herne Hill oh nearly forgot the decor is really artistic and elegant. The small hub makes it friendly and they have outside seating in nice weather. Spiro deserves to be successful he works very hard to make all his customers feel part of a special atmosphere.

This place is cosy and a great place to relax over coffee and food. The decor is stylish with a large communal table and a few separate tables. Friendly service and nice food.

Walked past and decided to pop in for a coffee not really expecting anything just needed xmas shopping fuel. The coffee is AMAZING, its the best coffee i’ve ever had! So we decided to stay for food which equally blew us away. I had the baked feta (still thinking of it) and husband had the shakshuka which had a kind of cream base, so tasty! Wanted to keep it a local secret but have told all our friends! X

What a great cosy place to have great food with friends and family. Loved it and the owner and staff are brilliant. Was there for a private event after closing hours so the whole venue was ours - great space - the food was simply delicious from the canapés to the frittatas to the pastel de nata - my absolute fave! The music was on point too! Would definitely recommend.

Overall, Parissi is a rather attractive place. I loved the mouth watering food, the cake selection and the decor - not so much the service which was uneventful. I have one suggestion for cafes and restaurants. Why not charge a one off fee for unlimited, chilled tab water? Make it self-service so that one doesn't have to beg for the waitress to bring yet another thimble of lukewarm water.

Muy buen lugar para brunch, café y tarta en Brixton. ¡El pastel de zanahoria es mi favorito!Hay un menú variado impresionante para un lugar tan pequeño. Pasteles, brunch, sopa, ensalada, sándwiches, pasteles, café, cócteles, ¡algo para cada estado de ánimo!Las ensaladas son frescas y sabrosas y hacen un buen negocio de ensaladas donde puedes mezclar y combinar. El brunch vegetariano era agradable y el haloumi estaba preparado perfectamente.Es un espacio acogedor, pero hay un área exterior que sentaría muy bien a un gran grupo.Lo único menor es que pareció tomar mucho tiempo para obtener nuestros cafés, considerando que no estaba tan ocupado. Pero el café fue excelente (esto es lo que les gusta, puedes comprar un paquete allí), así que tal vez demore un poco conseguirlo.Esto sería adecuado para amigos y parejas que quieran tomarse su tiempo durante un almuerzo tranquilo. Pero si tienes prisa también hacen comida para llevar, así que definitivamente vale la pena pagar con una visita a Parissi.

Me encanta Parissi, voy mucho y es agradable, el chocolate caliente es increíble, los pasteles también y la comida es simple pero agradable.

Fuimos allí dos veces durante nuestra estadía de tres días en Londres. Tuvimos la burratina ensalada, un bocadillo de masa fermentada y también el yogur griego con frutos. Todo era fresco y muy sabroso. También tienen una gran selección de brownies, tarta y café. También te puedes sentar fuera. Lugar muy agradable. Recomendación clara!

Encontramos este lugar para el desayuno cuando estés cerca para el fin de semana para una visita familiar. La comida era fresca y muy sabroso - tuve el desayuno vegetariano mientras mi mujer eligió shakshuka, un favorito de ella, ambos se complementa con una pantalla muy buena blanco.

Nice place on the edge of Brixton Village, nice place for coffee and light lunch and great cakes, WIFi and they take cards which is good around Brixton. I like this place and recommend anyone to stop there if passing by.

The food is decent but the portions are extremely ungenerous and overpriced which has put me off going again.

Had a late breakfast combined business meeting this morning. Obliging and friendly service, good food and great coffee.

Fui dos veces con un amigo uno para llevar y la otra vez estuvimos en la terraza interior. Me tomó un té chai latte. Realmente deliciosa. Tienen una gran variedad de sabrosos platos y repostería y me indican todo lo que contienen en el caso de comida a gatos. El personal es realmente encantador.

Parissi is a great spot if you're looking for delicious and freshly prepared food, friendly service and great quality coffee and cakes.

Su pequeño y amable, excelente comida vegetariana servida con una sonrisa, el café es muy bueno, para acompañar quiche o ensalada recién preparados. También hay una pequeña zona de comedor exterior trasera. No hay mucho espacio para sentarse, así que hace que sea muy agradable. Wifi si lo necesitas. ¿Qué más quieres.

Fuimos a reunirse con uno de los "niños" (adulto niños. . En Brixton,) buscando un sitio para aparcar cerca del mercado de brixton. Una vez aparcado hasta que nos dimos cuenta de que había este café a sólo 50 metros a lo largo de us y la inspección decidió que esto sería un buen lugar para conocer.

Me encanta el ambiente en el café! ! Yo soy un habitual y siempre recibirá un excelente servicio de su personal precioso. La comida siempre sabe increíble y tienen una amplia selección de bebidas para sea cual sea su estado de ánimo. Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar si alguna vez vas a la zona de brixton.

Fue uno de mi lugar favorito, pero después de ver sentado en la mosca de la fruta que he idea cambio de pastelería. . También uno de los barista era muy grosero y arrogante (chica rubia) acabo de pedir un vaso de agua y ella dijo: ya está!

Parissi es un gran lugar para relajarse y tomar un increíble y bocadillos. tartas Tiene un patio trasero si necesitas un poco de aire fresco. Es un oasis de tranquilidad en el corazón de Brixton. Con una decoración muy acogedora esta pequeña cafetería también ofrece un buen servicio, que es imprescindible en una ciudad como Londres.

Hand picked breakfast dishes.Loved their shakshuka. My wife had the Salmon.We left no crumbs behind.As we were leaving we were served a shot of hot chocolate with a touch of almond ascence. Gave us the boost of suger needed for a morning of site seeing.

Parissi is small, with a limited takeaway selection and short(ish) sit-down menu ... but Do Not let that put you off!The food is really very good, as are the drinks (and wine/cocktails).I'm lucky enough to stay not far from Parissi each time I'm in London and simply cannot keep away :-)They do A-mazing Portuguese Egg Custard Tarts (which go into Granny's Christmas stocking!)Last thing: I don't eat meat or eggs, but Parissi has enough variety that I, and my omnivorous friends/family, have no problem finding a selection of things to eat.Go, you won't be disappointed :-)

A very chilled independent cafe that makes excellent coffee and serves absolutely delicious food including pastries, cakes and small plates as well as some great breakfast options. They are also open in the evening and it's a cosy spot for a cocktail. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for - everything is delicious and well worth it for a treat. Staff are really friendly.

This a new find for me. Was unaware of this little coffee shop/bar. Visited late on a sunny afternoon. All the staff warm and genuinely taking time to liaten and attend to customers. Good cakes, nice coffee and relaxing chilled feeling to the whole place. Worth dropping in. If only the Thai that followed in Brixton had been half as good!...but that's another story!

The food is amazing.The pastries are excellent.Very nice deco and always good choice of music...If u like good coffees to start the day ... perfectThe staff is always very friendly and smily.

I'm a bit reluctant to write an honest review of this place, because I don't want them to become so busy that they always run out pastries, but Parissi really is a wonderful little find. Everything is freshly made and you see it all being brought out of the kitchen, which means that the pastries are often still warm when you buy them. Larger breakfasts and brunches are pretty great too, especially the fennel sausages and baked eggs. And the coffee is wonderful and very lovingly prepared. I would recommend this place to anyone, just make sure you leave one cinnamon swirl for me.

Super lekkere koffie en fijn terras achterom. Ik ben hier vaak op Zondag te vinden aan de grote tafel. Met vrienden, mijn vrouw of alleen, dit is altijd een leuke plek om even uit te rusten of wat werk te doen na een bezoek aan de Brixton Village Market.

Parissi is a cozy and cool place, with a nice atmosphere; looks amazing from outside, reveals the best surprise once you get in. Every time you'll find a different interesting music playlist. Parissi offers lots of differents sweet Swirls, Croissants, Brownies, Cakes, Pain au Chocolate, all really, really good, but also salty specialties. The Cappuccino is just one of the best i tried in London. Staff is hearty and nice. Me and my italian friends came here every day durind our trip, we'll miss Parissi.

Parissi is my stop in the morning for the most delicious coffee in South London. All the bakes are excellent (cakes, custard tarts, pastries) especially the plain croissants which are crispy but somehow spongey light inside like buttery savoury cake. Carrot cake with cream cheese and lemon icing! Cinnamon swirls! All handmade in the back of the shop by charming proprietor Spyros. You can lunch or dinner here too. Special mention for the babaganoush and the bouyourdi (baked feta) YUM. And they do cocktails! What's not to like? Give a go you won't regret it.
