Sally White in Lambeth

Popped in for a quick bite after visiting The Oval. A great find, quick friendly service a delicious lunch and coffee. Recommended.

Smiles and a lovely welcome at this wonderful bakery/cafe as soon as I walked in the door. A real throw back to an old fashioned neighbourhood cafe with quality food and great energy/vibe - great for a quick coffee with a treat, or something more substantial with tasty healthy options on offer also. Thank you :)

Just finished a brunch brioche and flat white. Outstanding (as always). Love Sallly White. Suprised to see some reviews critcal of staff (admitted old reviews). Occasionally it does get busy but never encountered anything but friendly helpful staff. Great range of food, bread etc and excellent coffee.

Lovely coffee but as were were inside it would have been nice to be served in proper cups instead of paper cups. Staff were not very welcoming and everything seemed to be an effort. One place to give to give a miss next time we are in London.

Delicious cheese toastie and slices. Unplanned stop walking from Lambeth to Soho. So glad we picked the right stop as we were delighted with everything we had food and drink wise.

We love Sally and her team. But most of all we love her food. This week I’ve enjoyed one of her delicious sausage rolls (I’m not usually one for hyperbole, but I think they are possibly the best sausage rolls I’ve ever eaten). I’ve also had three different quiches and five or six different salads - all absolutely delicious. The quality of the ingredients is superb. On Friday I treated myself to a banoffee cheesecake brownie. I can’t begin to describe how gooey, rich, chocolatey and delicious it was. The orange and hazelnut ones are also amazing. No wonder there’s normally a queue.

The sausage rolls are wonderful! However, I bought one today (not necessarily cheap) and it was half the size it was before. What happened? I suggest you address this as soon as possible otherwise you will loose customers who know what they were like. They're yummy so please make them bigger again! Thanks!

We feel the same as some of the other reviewers about Sally White - great food let down by poor service! Went today to pick up some of their delicious quiche and a sausage roll for lunch. Two young women were on duty but we waited outside for ten minutes in the rain while one of them fiddled with the coffee machine and the other sat eating her lunch. No greeting or apology and an indifferent shrug when we asked about the quiche. We’re glad to see the business appearing to thrive during the COVID restrictions but come on guys why the attitude? - a smile costs nothing and would make the world of difference to the experience of your customers!

Bien, estoy muy contento de que Kennington tenga algo como Sally White. Vivo a la vuelta de la esquina, y trabajando desde casa, a menudo salgo a desayunar y almorzar y lo he hecho desde que abrió.La comida es excelente, rollos de salchicha increíbles, pero el servicio es muy pobre. Los dos jóvenes de allí realmente necesitan una lección de servicio al cliente. Siempre tan hosco y poco acogedor, que te hace sentir que la presencia del cliente en la tienda es un poco molesta. Y esto no es una excepción, han sido así todo el tiempo que han trabajado allí y son conocidos localmente por su actitud.Es una pena, por favor, hable con ellos. Una sonrisa, un saludo, un agradecimiento es todo lo que se necesita para que la experiencia sea fantástica. O pase por la carretera a Vanilla Black para ver cómo realmente dar la bienvenida a los clientes (incluso si su comida es mejor).

Dropped in on Friday 24th July for a quick coffee, tried a sausage roll, absolutely Delicious, went back today and bought 4 more. They are soooooo Yummy

I really love this place. I've only ever had the away but super tasty sandwich baps, sausage rolls and cakes. Will visit again when I'm passing.

Acabo de tener el mejor quiche que he probado en mi vida. Me gusta pensar en mí mismo como un poco conocedor de quiche. Yo mismo hago una mala, ¡pero este fue el siguiente nivel! Los pasteles caseros se cocinaban a la perfección y el huevo era muy suave y esponjoso. Delicioso. Volveremos a probar los otros pasteles y pasteles de aspecto encantador que tenían en exhibición.

Como siempre, todos queremos un buen café temprano en la mañana camino al trabajo como local de la zona.Este lugar solía hacer muy buenos cafés, pero ahora es la tercera vez que tomo un café de barrio, cambian de personal y no saben cómo preparar un buen café y no escuchan al cliente cuando lo ordenan.Solo esperando mi dinero. .

Reasonable food although the drinks didn’t turn up at all hence the low score. Basically and coffee and cakes shop (when they serve the coffee).

Always great. Fantastic homemade food. Tortilla, sausage rolls, salads. Whatever it is it’ll be good. Breakfast is brilliant. Cakes to die for. A good selection of wine by the bottle - to take away.

Popped in here for a last minute cake shop as needed some cake for a birthday. They have a nice variety, but I was underwhelmed with the quality of the cakes as they were quite dry and extremely sugary. Have not had any of their lunch dishes so cannot comment on that, but will not be returning for the cake, sorry.

Accidentally came across this place and had lunch here. Nice interior, seating outside, friendly and helpful staff, lovely food (I had the quiche with salad, both tasted great), superb coffee, what’s not to like?

¡Nos acabamos de mudar al lado y no podemos creer que esta sea nuestra cafetería "local"! Es impresionante. Todo lo que hemos comido aquí, sabroso y dulce por igual, es divino. No puedo culparlo. Y el personal es muy amable y divertido. (¡Creo que en realidad se deletrea "Whyte", no "White" sin embargo! Solo para evitar confusión ...)

A lovely quaint cafe with super food and ambience. Very cosy but so much nicer than the multi nationals

He estado trabajando en el área durante las últimas semanas y he tomado café y almuerzo aquí varias veces. La primera vez que tomé un café, la leche no se espumó correctamente (lo sé. Parezco un quisquilloso bebedor de café de Londres) y dejo que pase como un barista sin experiencia. Sin embargo, después de regresar otras 3 veces, puedo decir que el café no es bueno. Leche demasiado espesa que significa si pides un café con leche, un capuchino o un blanco plano, lo que obtienes es mucha espuma en la parte superior que rápidamente se convierte en un americano con leche. Los elementos del almuerzo eran buenos, el quiche era especialmente bueno, pero si te apasiona el café, cruza la calle.

Visité aquí con mi hija para tomar una taza de té antes de nuestra visita al Beefeater Gin Tour. El servicio fue un poco descuidado, se olvidaron de servir nuestro té después de que lo hubiéramos pagado, así que tuvimos que recordárselo. Cuando llegó fue una muy buena taza de té y se sirvió en una tetera grande. Los pasteles en la ventana se veían deliciosos ojalá los hubiéramos probado.

Al final de un incesante desfile de comercio suburbano en Kennington, se encuentra la panadería principal de café de Sally White en Londres, una de las pocas estrellas brillantes (otra es The Walcot 1830 gastropub qv) en el firmamento un tanto turbio de los locales de comida. La elección de quiches, tartas, tortas de pescado y similares, junto con ensaladas de sustancia deliciosa, recién preparadas cada mañana, es una maravilla. Pero tengo una debilidad particular por los pasteles y las galletas, que recuerdan a Konditor y Cook pero con una sensación de cocina más hogareña. Todavía tengo que estar decepcionado. El servicio es algo descuidado y el área para comer es frustrantemente pequeña, posiblemente un intento de transformar una panadería en una panadería. Pero para los locales como yo, la opción de comida para llevar no es un problema.

Really great food selection with interesting salads, quiches and sandwiches. Friendly staff. Quirky interior, unfortunately a little on the small side so it’s slightly uncomfortable to eat your food at the cafe with people squeezing to get past.

Popped in for lunch with my daughter last Friday. We shared a quiche, pastry to die for, salad and stuffed aubergine, yum

Me quitó el sábado hacia aquí y nos dieron un maravilloso quiche squash butternut para llevar así como un no-extra-azúcar flapjack. Ambas eran una maravilla! ! El quiché fue cargada con squash en la capa superior y otras verduras espinacas y patatas dentro incluyendo. También es un grande. El flapjack tenían también era genial: y dulce, una base crujiente y la mermelada y fruta seca hizo ofrecieron un buen equilibrio. El establecimiento también es perro. Personal amable y bonito interior. Además de muestras de brownie muy rico!

Paramos aquí para Brownies y eran absolutamente fantásticos.

Estábamos muy cansados después de un largo vuelo y queríamos algo para comer. Este lugar es una cafetería con capacidad limitada, pero la comida es interesante, compartimos la porción vegetariana y Ensalada griega ambas eran excelentes. Luego nos tiene café y bizcocho. Todos los recubiertos parecía fantástico y los dos elegimos cherry chocolate brownie y una tarta de limón llovizna eran maravillosas. El café era muy bueno, mejor que muchos que hemos tenido en casa. Personal agradable también, muy recomendado.

The cafe was recommended to me by people living on Kennington Road, as a local favourite of theirs. I visited on a January lunchtime and saw through the window, as I approached, a splendid looking selection of homemade European comfort foods: sausage rolls, quiches, salads, cassoulet... There was a queue, which quickly dispersed and I was shown to a table for one, where I happily sat, absorbing the relaxed yet professional atmosphere. Whilst my order was prepared for me. The cassoulet and two salads were delicious! The coffee and cake were wonderful! In fact I bought two more cakes, to share with my friends, later. I told the young lady who took my well spent money that I would review their Sally White cafe, on Trip Advisor and I am very pleased to have done so! Another good thing: after lunch, across the road, I caught a bus to Trafalgar Square and visited the National Gallery. Kennington Road is not far, from London's hub!

Sally White es un fantástico local cafetería/deli/cafetería que vende todo tipo de tartas caseras, dulces, ensaladas, pan. Lo mejor de todo desde mi casa son los respectivos hechos rollitos de salchicha (aunque otros probablemente sería el brownies deliciosos). Pero en Navidad Sally abastecido con un montón de paquetes de regalos de su Misa del gallo tartas, brownies y muchas otras cosas. Me proporcionó un excelente fuente de último minuto para visitar amigos presenta. Vaya por cualquier tiempo y apoyo este agradable lugar local. Y ahora abierto en la noche, de martes a jueves.

I was very pleased when Sally Whites reopened although it might have been the opportunity to make a few welcome changes. I've been a customer for two or three years now and, without fail, every time I leave here it is with a feeling of slight disappointment. Its not the food; the food is consistently great albeit, as others say, a little pricey. It is the staff who are a problem. They are dismissive and often plain rude. I have never had friendly service, more looks of disdain. I know I am not alone in feeling this way. Surely there are lots of other folk willing to work there who might actually enjoy giving customer service. Just a thought.

This is a strange place. The food is delicious, original and tastes home-made. Great atmosphere but only a few tables so it's really a take-away place. Therefore really expensive (a piece of quiche, small side salad and piece of dessert cost me at least £15 for take-away!) Also opening hours are quite reduced as they are only open for lunch and not on weekends....

SW Kennington is our favorite place for decadent breakfasts. Their breakfast baps are sumptuous - eggs, sausage, bacon. Good croissants and excellent coffee. Nice service. The shop also sells interesting products - bread, smoked salmon, scotch eggs and sausage rolls. Brilliant stuff.

I love Sally White's. Excellent coffee, pastries, cakes and traybakes, not to mention Sally's fabulous salads, frittatas, and of course her world famous sausage rolls (well I've told friends from abroad!). It's in my neighbourhood and we're delighted they're here. Sally also has a shop...

It was my first time visiting and I did so just for a lunch break. Hot chocolate, bacon quiche and fresh salad were all delicious!! Nice relaxed atmosphere. The staff are both very friendly and helpful! Only drawback is I think they're a little understaffed...

Great too see SW open again in Kennington. Same great coffee and food, but with a new wine dispenser! Awesome. The sausage rolls and Scotch eggs are the thing dreams are made of. Great, fresh salads. What's not to like?

Excelente para visitar Sally blanco después de un largo período cerrado. Ambiente encantador y el personal. Pasé una hora feliz aquí tomando un café. Tartas y almuerzo de comida son muy atractivas y también ofrecen vino a casa en recargables botellas de vidrio y otros...

Pastelería estupenda, con un delicioso café y pasteles. Rollitos de salchicha son para morirse, como es el pastel de zanahoria.

I absolutely love Sally Whites! Kennington was crying out for this kind of establishment before Sally and Mark rocked up three years ago and showed us all what a good artisanal style cafe looks and tastes like. Their food is made by and for, people who love food. It is consistently excellent but always interesting and it's far and away the best place to eat or grab a coffee from, for miles around. The food: there are always two adventurous, veg laden seasonal salads which vary daily, the best quiches I've ever tasted,excellent home made sausage rolls with fennel seeds, fantastic sour dough sandwiches, at least a couple of hot options, including a homemade soup which again varies every day, and more delights besides. The sweet stuff is great too with an impressive array of wheat and gluten free options and usually at least three different kinds of brownie on offer which pleases my chocolate obsessed kids.Talking of which, while they are very welcoming of children (and well-behaved dogs for that matter) owing to the layout of the seating, and foodie-feel, it's more of a grown up sort of a place - which I for one highly commend! What else. There are often little tit-bits of their cakes to taste at the counter, and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, quickly remembering your 'usual' tipple if you visit even semi- regularly. In the three years they've been open, Sally Whites has become a vital part of the community, as a meeting place for locals to catch up over coffee (which is great by the way, as are their extensive range of teas) for office workers to pop by and grab a healthy, delicious, lunch to take out, (check out the fast moving queues that snake out of the shop on sunny days) or for anyone armed with a laptop, who's lucky enough to grab a corner table and take advantage of their free wifi for an hour or several. The decor is super stylish too, with copper covered counter tops, exposed bulbs, high ceilings and a lovely airy feel. There's also a bench outside for somewhere to pause with a coffee in the sun. Sally Whites is so damn good, I almost didn't want to write this. In case word spreads too far and I lose that corner table.

The best cafe in the area. Nothing remotely as good for miles around.Flavoursome, home-made, interesting food, delicious coffee. A whiff of the Konditor and Cook about it.Lovely staff, dogs welcome.

Delicious baking and friendly staff - I personally recommend the sausage rolls (the best I've tasted, no exaggeration)...and the classic Bakewell tart - crisp pastry and moist sponge - yum and my 11 year old daughter reckons that you can never go wrong with the chocolate brownies.

The best place in Kennington to get breakfast or lunch. Mark, Sally and the staff know their regulars well and try to make time to chat. The main problem is choosing what to eat. Pain au raisin or the breakfast brioche? You can see the kitchen in action if you venture downstairs!Difficult to get a seat sometimes, but worth the wait. Part of our Saturday morning ritual (along with checking the local french antiques and curios shop opposite).

Went for coffee. Suppose the coffee was ok, if small, but surely the idea is to have a vaguely pleasant experience? The staff were miserable and unfriendly. I was made to feel like a nuisance for asking for a coffee!Never again. I'll stick with Amicis over the road.

Food ok but not worth putting up with rude, surly staff. We live locally and tried out this place when it first opened. Found the service so rude so didn't go back for 2 years. Friends report food excellent so returned today to give it other try. We had sausage rolls - ok but not high quality sausagemeat, just made 'different' by the addition of carroway seeds. Service so so rude my husband walked out, leaving his sausage roll: our coffee was left in the counter for several minutes getting cold so we asked if it was ours, thinking that it might be self service collection (which we had no problem with) like Starbucks. Surly rude waitress shouted at my husband to tell him, no she would bring it over in a minute, and glared/scowled at us. Strongly suggest that anyone considering a trip to Sally White's crosses the road to Due Amici where the coffee is better and whoever you are, you are greeted as a friend and welcome customer.

Sally's is our local cafe but I've never thought to review it. Now it's time as their cakes are too good not to mention. We never eat in as it is just around the corner, so I can only comment on the take away service. The homemade range of cakes never disappoints and is constantly changing-and every one is as good as the last. Their sausage rolls also deserve an honourable mention as they are pretty special. So glad this place is so close-although my waistline isn't!

Sally white has a large choice of lovely desserts and food. The only problem I had there is to make a choice. Everything is so good. And the atmosphere is very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

I visit this place last Sunday around 2pm for a quick bite and coffee, everything was OK, food ok, coffee good enough and customer service average.Later in the week I realised I was charged twice!! So I contact them and I was told to send bank statement and I'll get a refund.After 3 days I did not hear from them, not even and email or call saying they are sorry and will sort it out Asap.I called back and one of the kitchen members called Christene picked the phone up and was very rude, showing an attitude not letting me talk and talking over me saying they were very busy and they will contact me whenever they are able to do so!!! That I have to wait and I will eventually get my money back.I would feel absolutely embarrased if one of my team member talk to any of my customers that way or just even make them wait for their money back.I will not recommend this place at all and definitely won't visit it, there are better places just across the road.

Like a previous poster, I too want to support locally-run establishments. The praise for the quality and taste of the food is deserved, but so is the lack of decent service - having been a few times now, there's just no warmth from the staff towards their customers.If you decide to visit, go for the take-away option.

I'm not normally a complainer, but feel compelled to share this little experience in the hope that Sally White and her team will be able to sharpen up their customer service.I was just this afternoon working on an important document in Sally Whites and at 5pm one of the staff announced to the whole room of customers "Excuse me, we are already closed." She then gave us approximately one minute and switched the lights off, leaving us all to scuttle out of the cafe in darkness.Quite a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but since there were only 5 of us in the cafe it would not have taken much for you to come to us personally 5 minutes from closing to say 'just to let you know we're closing in 5 minutes'. It's small touches of (fairly basic) customer service that we hope for in a local coffee shop, otherwise we might as well be in Starbucks.I don't mean to moan, rather to encourage you to nurture your clients a little more. Hope this reaches the team.

Sally's has a good selection of high end sweet and savory offerings, cakes, breakfast brioches, tarts, quiches, sausage rolls, scotch eggs plus lovely fresh salads and about the only decent coffee in the area. Lovely stop for a light breakfast/lunch or to pick up takeaway. The staff were perfectly nice anytime I've been in

The brioche buns are de-licious, the coffee is good too. I'm so glad Kennington has this place. BUT, even as a local, I feel stared down every time I go, like I'm intruding on the staff coffee break. Hold your nerve though as certainly one of the best eating options in the area.

On adore et on y passe au moins une fois par semaine: une deli de quartier adorable où la qualité des plats surprend toujours

I so wanted to love this place as I only live 5 mins away from it and love supporting local businesses. I have visited Sally White's twice now and both times i've been left disappointed. The food is nice,but so so expensive for a cafe and has such a terrible selection for vegetarians! I had a ricotta and spinach roll which was lovely, but that was pretty much my only option, they didn't even have a vegetarian sandwich option. Coffee is really nice. I really like the decoration, it's really well done and i think they have made the most out of their space. The service in this cafe is terrible. My boyfriend and I walked in said hello (didn't get a response), we then looked at the blackboard for about 1 minute and the waitress just gruffly asked 'so have you decided yet'. We ate our food, left and my boyfriend said 'bye thanks' the waitress just stared blankly at us and didn't say anything. It's such a shame but i won't be returning, as nice as the décor is, it's not worth it for the bad service.

The staff here are rude and unhelpful, a friend and I spent 2 hours here one Friday morning and when we queued to pay we were told we should have paid earlier and now we would have to wait as it was rush hour. Hardly a way to speak to new customers.In addition I ordered 2 coffees, the first I sent back as it was cold and all I got was a sigh. The coffee here is not good, save your money for decent coffee elsewhere.However the food is good, I'm not sure I'd ever buy anything here again, but if anything would temp me it would be have to be takeaway so as not to deal with staff.I had delicious lemon and poppy seed cake, shared a sausage roll and tried the carrot cake and all were delicious.I'd say give this place a miss, not worth it with the rude staff,

Order at the table, then sit; can feel a bit confusing to walk into. Loved their breakfast selections. I had the quiche, a brownie and a cappuccino. All were quite lovely.

I only ever have left positive reviews on trip advisor but I go to this cafe every week because its the only place that sells a decent healthy food in the area, the staff are consistently rude and unfriendly. you would think as a regular customer they would become more friendly after a year of buying lunch there most days but they still treat me with the same arrogant attitude to this day. I have had many a conversation with collegues about the staff because maybe it was just towards me or maybe I was a bad customer but every person I have spoken to has recieved the same unfriendly service. the food is good but after a year of their snobbish behaviour I can no longer deal with giving my money to such a awful little cafe, it is the worst service i have experienced, so thanks sally white's for forcing out my first ever bad review. stick your glutenfree brownie cheesecakes up your a*se. w*nkers

I've heard a customer say:If Sally white was anything like her employees, she was probably a 'batch'

Small, friendly, attentive and excellent produce. Perfect for lunch for one with outstanding coffee on a sunny and stressful day!

The food is excellent but despite having been there on multiple occasions, I have never seen staff treat any of the customers, myself included, in a particularly friendly manner. For those prices, a smile and a 'thank you' wouldn't go amiss. The food in nearby restaurants may not be as good, but the staff there at least know how to treat their customers.

Sausage rolls to die for. Breakfast buns you'd sell your granny for. Cakes from a different planet. I could go on. This is a tiny place that has everything right. Great coffee too. Go and then go again.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch here today, we live very close and can't believe we've not discovered it before! Great savoury food, cakes and coffee! We will definitely be back very soon!

I haven't tried the savoury food in this place so I can't comment on that - it always looks very good. I'm judging it based on it's cakes, pastries and coffee. Cakes - uninspiring. I've tried the bakewell which is just pretty sweet and kind of bland. The brownies are ok. The one cake I've had which was great (but i only ever saw it once) was a raspberry chocolate cake - if you see that, have it, totally worth it! The pastries are ok, i've tried a very large and kind of doughy pain au raisin and a blah cherry danish. Coffee - fine, they should do bigger take away cups though. Atmosphere - a little bit too pleased with itself.

I come here for coffee every morning and am sucked in by the smells and sights of the most incredible looking and tasting dishes. Sally White is a culinary genius and brightens up my day with her savoury and sweet treats.

Very relaxed, good food, very accommodating, good choice of food. Would highly recommend. My son has just moved to Kennington and will go to Sally White again.
