ScooterCaffe in Lambeth

Incredibly rude, miserable woman serving. Seems to hate her job. Coffee was weak watery and served in a dirty cup. It's a pity because the ambience and vibe sets this cafe apart from the usual. There are a lot of other cafe's to go to on Lower Marsh, will try them in future... 🙁

Love the blues music. Trendy old school cafe. Great drinks selection from coffee to alcoholic. The food selection is poor however. Lovely place though.

Excellent cocktails at reasonable prices. Two lovely cats patrolling the cafe. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

The photos above make ScooterCaffe look like a bright and spacious coffee shop, in reality it is dim (day or night) and eclectic (my posh word for scruffy). But we visited on three occasions ... First two were for morning coffee after we had left our Waterloo Road hotel for the day. We deliberately chose this place for a couple of drinks on our last night and we weren't disappointed. It was as if the Kahlua bottle had been placed in the centre and at the optimal height to cause me to ask how the served it ... I had two delicious White Russians while my wife sipped her Champagne Cocktail. Despite your first impressions it is clean, friendly and value for money. Recommended!

Vinimos aquí para tomar unas copas después de cenar. El café es muy pequeño, es difícil conseguir una mesa. Tenían (solo) seis cócteles en el menú, esperaba un poco más. Pero hay una atmósfera realmente única, especialmente en el sótano de la planta baja.

Wonderful place . Bob the cat is a legend . the little one with all the answers behind the counter is we!l cheeky but makes decent coffee so swings and roundabouts. Some of the customers are a bit strange especially that Canadian guy who seems to live there: Kelvin? Colin? the sourdough toasted sandwiches are fantastic as are Ameretto Sours and excellent freshly made Espresso Martinis ...the staff are fun and the decor is beautiful ...Lower Marsh has lost most of its great independent shops and cafes due to greed and lust for the fo!ding stuff but this remains a beacon of light in a darkening sky ...!ong may it continue ...yes my lion

What an awful experience. Went there on the recommendation of a friend to kick back on a rainy Sunday afternoon. We had teas and coffees and, would have had food, but one of the staff was so rude, for the whole time that we were there, to us to other people, that we just left. She clearly hates her job. Never a please or thank you the six times she leant over us to get in a cupboard, get a lamp, to turn on the lamp and to collect our cups, milk and teapots. The only sorry we got was 'sorry I keep leaning over you, it must be so annoying. We finally left when she picked up my mate's unfinished tea, and she didn't asked whether we'd finished with it. When I pointed this out to her, she said 'it had been there so long, I thought you were finished with it. Don't waste your time or money going there, there are 100s of other places in and around Waterloo, where your custom will be welcome.

Cool cafe with the usual range of drinks and food on offer. Decor is hip. Noise level makes it hard to hear.

We were told that our coffees would take a bit longer (5 mins), which was fine. Once ordered the server said we can come up (we were downstairs) in 10 minutes to fetch the coffees, which we thought was odd to say the least. After 10 I went up and picked up a tea and cappu, however an americano was missing. The immediate reaction when I pointed that out was “you didn’t order it” - other than the fact we did, this responce was incredibly rude. Then I paid for an americano, which the server said would be brought to us. 10 mins later: no americano. My GF went up to see where it was, waited for 5 minutes in front of the counter before being helped, asked for an americano and then said “oh you can take this one” (which had been standing there for a while). Baffled by the sheer unfriendly and disrespectful attitude (not even an apology) we told her to leave the coffee. We asked for a refund (£2) later which was refused on the grounds “the coffee had been made and she poored it away”. All this to say that, it’s no problem if you make a mistake or forget something but we felt truly disrespected and treaded incredibly rudely in the process. We won’t be coming back.

Down Lower Marsh, this is a laid back Bar / Cafe open to fairly late. Reasonable drinks choice with some food available. A bit of a hippy place really, but okay. Outside rear area seating is okay, except for poor step up etc to that area. Friendly cat sleeping around etc. A good place to relax. Sadly two issues...The hand rail to the basement seating has snapped and held loosely in place by gaffer tape! As for the Unisex toilet, well no flush and fairly smelly...to be expected...but as to the no door??? and a curtain that does not fuilly privatise sitting in the toilet, thats a bit much!!(Sadly they will get closed down for thisd one day!) So a little care to attention will make it a memorable place!

We were in the area (which not overly familiar with) for an event, so wanted to be close for arrival. We dropped in and found a gem! The atmosphere was great, it was busy without being too busy, nice volume of music and lighting. The decor is really quirky and certainly offers something to keep you occupied! We went for espresso martinis, which were delicious! Would highly recommend.

My friend and I came here for coffee on a Saturday morning and surprisingly it wasn’t too busy which was good. The place is very small and quite dark but the decor is very fun and quirky and it feels very homely (especially because of the cat who was walking around and sleeping on the chairs). We sat outside in the little garden area which was lovely in the hot weather. They only offered full fat milk so we opted for plant based alternative milks and the coffee was delicious! Also saw an amazing cocktail menu and would definitely want to come back to try some of them. A place that my mum would probably be afraid of but a dream for those who like somewhere a bit different and quirky!

We stopped off in this lovely bar three times in three days, always at the end of long, tiring days. A couple of drinks later, we were all very uplifted and in better spirits (no pun intended). On the Sunday evening we also enjoyed some great music from a couple of guys on guitars and mandolins! This is a very friendly and enjoyable slice of continental life in what feels like a small village in central London!

Stumbled across this place one Sunday afternoon. Looked welcoming inside and almost full seating. Got coffee and cake. Comment about draughty doors at back seems valid but it was cooler downstairs, where the single loo is. They had run out of sweeteners and I had to ask for white sugar.

Continental vibe with small outside area which is a sun trap when it is warm. Good range of cakes, meals and coffee plus wine etc

This place is lovely. Few places now have the feeling that it does here. Cafe/bar holding hands with an old Europe that London has moved away from. Its romantic in a way, and non-pretentious. I'm not sure how long its been there but in my mind I like to imagine a long time. With Artists and Writers sipping negronis and mulling over future works. Or maybe thats just me.

Scooter had been on my visit-list for a while since I’d seen it a few times on lists of ‘London’s best hot chocolate’ (I love a hot chocolate and frankly consider myself a bit of a connoisseur). So when we were nearby visiting the Vault...

Came here on a quiet Monday evening. I love the feel of the place, it has rustic decor. However the cocktails are so - so. They are a little cheaper than London standard prices (Apero Spritz £7), but not that much. A Negroni still cost...

Super cute cat and lovely cafe. Toilet ran out of tissue though it was Thursday evening! Will return.

This lovely little cafe is tucked away in Waterloo on Lower Marsh. They serve coffee and hot drinks like most other places, cakes and pastry (had a really nice caramel chocolate cake here recently) and as it's open until quite late they also serve (alcoholic)...

Came here to kill a little time before an evening event. Had a couple of beers and teas. It's quite kooky inside but cosy. Not much more to say really - was perfect for what we needed.

If you are tired of corporate coffee bars and want something different this is a great option. Best of all the coffee is great!

Had some huge hipster thoughts about this place and their own coffee. But sadly we didn't like it at all. Sorry

Stopped in here for a quick cappuccino. It is definitely a quirky place, but a nice place to relax. The cappuccino was fantastic and a great price for London!

Been here twice now while attending events at the Vaults nearby. Such a welcoming and cool little cafe. I haven't eaten here (yet) but my positive review comes from lovely staff, nice atmosphere, a cute little place out the back to sip wine and chat...

Was in the area to get a train from Waterloo Train Station, having walked from Victoria Train Station, and decided that I would grab my daily coffee fix in the area. ScooterCaffe is somewhere I have wanted to visit, as a few film buffs will...

Un établissement de caractère, ambiance cosy, foutraque, rétro et surtout calme et sympatique. Une salle au sous-sol intimiste où vous...

Hidden away, this cafe is decently priced with a nice, cosy atmosphere, lovely afternoon catching up with old friends over a few beers and a game of scrabble!

I was last night with a friend having few drinks. The environment is top, the drinks too; little place with charm! Coffee with croissants or beers and wine. Lighting just great and a little back garden towards the rail... I’ll come back again for sure!

We visited here yesterday afternoon after reading all the good reviews, disappointing is an understatement. We sat downstairs which smelled musty and damp. The coffee was weak and watery and had no flavour. I won’t be revisiting.

Came here for a coffee with a friend, ended up having hot chocolate as the weather was so miserable. Oh wow- the best I have ever had! At £3 I was expecting it to be good and it did not disappoint! Lovely little cafe with...
