Tartine Artisanal in Wandsworth

I visit the area regularly and leave time to stop for coffee and pastries. The coffee is excellent and better priced than a chain, pasties are fresh and delicious. I look forward to sampling the rest of the menu. Nice decor and nice staff so all good.

Charged me £4 for 2 cannolis - presented in a cheap paper bag, which split less than a minute after I left, dumping the contents on the floor. Returned immediately with the food and broken bag, and the young lady behind the counter then refused to replace them, claiming that the bag was ‘fine when she’d given it to me’, not even so much as an apology - watched her present another customer with a box for a cake slice, not sure why I wasn’t given the same. Also charged 50p extra for a decaf coffee. Overpriced for such rubbish, rude service - absolutely wont be returning.

My wife had an omelette and I had the best full English breakfast I have eaten in Tooting Broadway in 20 years.

My friends and I attended for an early lunch. The décor is very pleasant as has old/traditional pieces dotted around. It also has a lovely fireplace, but clearly not on due to warm weather. Food is simple, but tasty. I think price wise it is very reasonable indeed considering the portions size which is a good size.

Firstly I liked the decor in Tartine Artisanal and theres lots of yummy looking cakes/desserts at the window which draws you in. Service was excellent. I had a lovely Moroccan mint tea which was presented beautifully. I ordered some falafel which again, was well presented and tasted good however, not sure it was the freshest. Prices are reasonable and overall, I enjoyed my lunch break here.

It’s really good for the money and food is amazing. Staff is friendly as well. Definitely my spot for a nice brunch.

Nice ambience here. Friendly staff. I certainly would visit again, it’s very near to Tooting Broadway tube station.

Every few months I've occassionally popped in to Tartine Artisanal to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it again. I've just been in for a takeaway coffee this morning and feel like I need to review.The staff have been extremely miserable and slow every single time i've visited. They ignore you on entry, often leaving you stood awkwardly staring at them in front of the counter for ages with no greeting or even any eye contact. A couple waiting behind me this morning walked out as a result. For context, the place wasn't busy at all this morning. They only had 3 customers sat down. I always feel like an inconvenience. In all honesty, everytime I've been in Tartine Artisanal I've felt uncomfortable ... the staff clearly don't want to (or you to) be there!No wonder the place was empty this morning - the atmosphere is horrible!I'm no longer going to bother trying it again.

I used to be a regular here but with new waiters and waitresses who have clearly not been trained in hospitality, I won’t be visiting again. On my penultimate trip, I was not served despite asking for a table and making eye contact. I had my baby whom I was feeding and had to wait for my sister to arrive to take my order as I was upset at the hostile staff. The next day I was charged for cakes I asked for but had not even been correctly packed. This was really careless as I was overloaded with shopping and couldn’t check my takeaway boxes and request missing items were packed as I had paid for them. On my last trip (Saturday 23rd) I stood at the front and paid for a hot drink which I requested as a takeaway with a poorly newborn but watched the waiter and waitress take other orders first. In the end I had to leave without my drink and money as I was far too angry but also tired at the prospect of standing around. It’s such a shame they were not able to hold onto their original staff who were so very kind and warm and friendly. Suffice to say I will not be coming here again and wasting my money.

This is one of the loveliest coffee shops I have been to in a long time. Great European decor and homeade cakes. What's not to like?

The food tastes amazing and fresh, they were very helpfull and the food was served in short time. Overall an amazing restaurant to dine with friends and family!

Very nice place with tasty halal food. Very kind people, fast service. I'll come here again. Place to be 😊

My vegetarian quesedilla was advertised as coming with guacamole. It arrived with none and some incredibly undercooked fries.quesdilla was tasty however.

Featuring fusion food Morrocan influence. A great place for a tasty lunch. Near to St. George's hospital.

Posto molto carino a Tooting che serve sia colazione tipica che pasti principali. Il posto è molto frequentato e con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Sicuramente una ottima scelta.

We popped in on a Sunday morning for hot drinks. There was no issue with us not having food, although the breakfast looked great. This is a lovely place, nice friendly owners & the coffee was one of the best we've tasted in London!

I ordered a cappuccino it arrived and was stone cold I then walked over to the counter after being ignored by the waiter/waitress to ask for a hot one we then ordered our food I asked for scrambled eggs well done but it came raw I then asked for extra butter and the waiter walked off came back after 10 mins and just put it on the table we ate what we could and left the rest . Very disappointed with the service and quality of the food this time

Double expresso délicieux, scones avec devon cream fabuleux. Prix plus qu'abordables. Ils parlent français. Pause recommandée

Hace un tiempo que venimos a Tartine y nunca dejamos una reseña.

Lovely place but unfortunately the dish I ordered did not reflect the description on the menu (tegliatelle are not penne). I should have gone for the desserts maybe.

Fui a almorzar un sábado por la mañana. El jugo con menta y varias cosas verdes era encantador y tenía un sabor de salud, pero el croque monsieur fue un poco decepcionante, probablemente podría haberlo hecho con un par de minutos más bajo la parrilla. Del mismo modo, las papas fritas vinieron con una sensación insuficiente y hubo un par de errores en el pedido.

Waren zum Projektlunch als Gruppe hier. Hatte einen Veggieburger mit Fries. Sehr lecker, Service sehr gut, gemütliches Restaurant. Nach Erfahrung von "Locals" wohl auch sehr nett zum Frühstück! Wegen Einladung keine Information zum Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis möglich, schneller Blick auf die Karte zeigte aber, dass die Preise angemessen sind.

The atmosphere is really nice there are places that you can sit and do your work very child friendly and a lot of people go there to have meetings

Good choice for lunch, sandwiches and snacks are of a generous size and it's a nice change to find somewhere where the coffee really tastes good.

Me he mudado al barrio la noche anterior.

Popped in for my favourite Macchiato. Popped in for my favourite Macchiato.Greeted by lovely waitress with smile. Coffee was perfect.Nice and cosy place.

Found this french industrial-style cafe randomly and i am so happy I did! Style and comfort add up to the niceness of the staff. The food is very good also. I'm a happy customer and will return!

Love having this place nearby, great prices, tasty food and a lovely atmosphere! Very good for families.

We were hunting around Tooting looking for somewhere nice to eat, at late lunch time. We happened to locate this place, They have a break fast menu, which can be used all day, so I had scrambled eggs on toast and it came with either Fries or salad. So I opted for the fries, good it was too.My wife had a full breakfast, veggie version, and my son had veggie lasagne. So all in all food was good and not expensive, for London!

Had been to a previous Tartine in Balham (now closed) and the other one near Tooting Broadway but first visit here. Not the flashiest of places, with decor a bit on the “tired” side but the food is reasonably priced and tasty. The children’s menu went down fairly well with our three year old and although the menu isn’t exhaustive enough choice to keep most happy.

We were looking for a small neighborhood cafe and stumbled upon this gem. The food was excellent! Super charming decor and great staff! So nice to get away from the countless tourist-traps. We will definitely be back!

Perfectly pleasant cafe which offers a good choice on the lunch menu from sandwiches and paninis to hamburgers and salads. Reasonably priced.

Teníamos instalados a nuestra hija en residencia localmente y era por la tarde. Nos estábamos muriendo! Yo lo intentaría entrar en Bec nos cayó en Tartine artesanales y encontramos un pedacito de cielo. El café era excelente y ambos pedimos la ensalada césar con pollo. . . Una porción muy generosa llegamos y estaba delicioso! Estábamos tan agradecidos. El personal era muy amable, y tomé su tarjeta de negocios, ya que quería recomendar este lugar a nuestra hija, que será en yo lo intentaría para el año próximo. La suerte de ella.

Great food for breakfast! Can personally recommend the scrambled eggs and it's under £5! Winning! The staff are also friendly and they have a great selection of cakes.

De haber estado comiendo en la zona. Yo lo intentaría por 20 años. . . Este sitio refleja la gentrification de la zona que es la zona más invadir más.

Sólo descubrimos con su simple decoración Tartine, pero hermoso. El personal no era el más accesible, pero mi Dios. La comida era buena. Recomiendo encarecidamente el mezze tradicional, buena comida y excelente precio. También me encantó el Limón, su 'la presse bebida que mantiene en...

Aunque el menú anuncia un "Desayuno Completo" hay que tener cuidado de que este café "Tartine artesanal" en Yo lo intentaría no le sirven un desayuno inglés "". En su sitio web dicen que el "Desayuno Completo" incluye "bacon". Eso no es cierto. En realidad,...

Vine aquí a trabajar dos veces con wifi ya que era Firefox Freelancing y no tienen una oficina en Londres todavía. Me sentí muy cómodo, comimos bien por un buen precio, y el servicio era genial!

Lunch with my wife and it's a lovely place and very relaxing environment. Food was good and they only wanted to charge £7 instead of £22 for the food we consumed. I had to remind them to charge us for all the food and not only for take away.The place was busy but still I think they should focus on service and staff members should ask customers if they need anything.Over all it was a good experience.

The food is more than decent and its decor is very nice.The issue lies in with the service. I have been numerous times and, whilst the staff are relatively courteous, the service is actually quite poor.They seem surprised when you approach them and ask for anything other than what you have initially ordered. They are slow and they are extremely inattentive. The cafe was not remotely busy, and they had 5 members of staff, yet a coffee which was ordered in addition to go with my food took approximately 15 minutes to come.

Not the usual around tooting! Very cute and cosy cafe, I kept coming back a few times a week because the food is just so nice. Plus the decor and atmosphere is so comfortable and lounge like it's hard to leave soon after you've finished a meal. Definitely a local favourite - huge selection of dishes and a very tasty patisserie section with an ice cream area

We have been here a few times but our last visit was disapointing. Our cakes were not fresh tasting and this was a shame. Being that they specialise in this area we were more disapointed than we might have been. Lovely decor, niceish staff. Will ew come back? We've found somewhere better...

Attended over the weekend with a gaggle of family members, for something of a baby shower. Though they were already so busy, the management were so friendly and welcoming - made sure that everything was to our needs, and popped by unobtrusively to make sure we were happy. We had lunch followed by a selection of cakes and hot drinks. Spaghetti bolognese seasoned just right for the kids, beef burger was cooked to perfection (added some harissa paste for an extra kick), cheesy lasagne with a side of roast veg, smoked salmon bagels and chicken panini, all delicious, all devoured. The best desserts and range we've come across in South London. Favourites are their carrot cake, (so moist!), chocolate mousse cake, cremepat strawberry tarts and their mille feuille (lovely caramel flavour). Great lemonade cocktail (passion fruit and strawberry) made to the owners specs. Mint tea was ordered in a large pot which served at least 5 people generously. With a some baklava this was a treat! Also had a wide selection of other teas and coffee. There's so much more I could go on forever. Must visit.

This place seem to be buzzing every time passing so I was slightly excited to try the food.My friend and I went for a breakfast/lunch meal and she had the eggs Benedict and I had fries with vegetarian sausages.Now her meal looked delicious but mine just looked and tasted basic.For drinks my friend had a cafe latte, who he'd she loved and I had tropical juice.Now for person whom are vegan or vegetarian, the meals are limited but if you're a meat eater finding something to eat will not be a problem.For those with a dietary requirements it maybe a little tricky.It was nice inside, decor was nice and the waitress was friendly and helpful. I did see on my way in various cakes and pastries, so I'll try them next time in that area.Reasonable prices for a cafe in this area.

Today was a Tube strike, couldn't get to work and it was raining. I just wanted a cup of coffee and a pastry but decided to order a soup too. Waited for half an hour in a freezing place to get a mocca that was cold and tasteless and a hard pastry. When I asked where was my soup, the waitress told me that the kitchen were "too busy" and it was 12:00 pm! After 45 minutes waiting I cancelled the soup, the waitress told me that I should have it for take away because "I bothered the cook" although they hay a backboard announcing the soup of the day. I just wanted to leave this cold place, awfully served from cold staff. More than disappointed

Whilst killing some time I visited the Tartine Artisanal to be met with a warm welcome and excellent coffee. I had just walked out of a nearby coffee shop having waited for 10 minutes and failing to find a member of staff. Guess where I am going for a coffee again in central Tooting! Not only was the whole experience good, but I got the strong vibe that the staff were trying hard to meet their customers expectations, not always the case as I had just found out nearby.With good food and most around me were tucking into full English breakfasts and making me feel jealous, but I was about to go out to lunch..... but next time I will! Good, it was a nice atmosphere and it had a rear room with plenty of space to relax and chill out. Keep up the good work and you should be proud of what you have achieved!

We went in this coffe but it was really bad! The food not good the service not professional because the lady cashier touch everything ( cash, till, menu..) and after she gonna to touch the food with the same hand that she touch the money without gloves. Not possible. Sorry but we sure that not not not come back!!!!!

We had the eggs Benedict served on brioche bread, comes with a side of fries and turkey bacon. What I loved about this cafe was that their food was halal and the staff were lovely. Would recommend

Tartine is a tooting classic - they have so many loyal customers that come in every Saturday for a coffee, amazing cakes and pastries (all made on their premises) Their breakfast is simple but delicious - all the eggs dishes are delicious and packed with fresh ingredients. We have not tried the lunch but if the breakfast is any indication, then it's a must go.

Excellent coffee, baguette and viennoiseries. Very Nice staff. Cosy bakery. Child friendly. Free wifi

I had a really nice lunch which tasted fresh was really reasonably priced!! The homemade ice was sooooo nice and made in front of me. Me and my friend even came back for tea and cake after and the guy was really friendly. The carrot cake and red velvet are divine must have thanks guys

Such a pity as this place has a lot of potential. Service is weak, had to ask twice to order, three times for ketchup and twice for my coffee. I had the eggs Benedict and although it does say on the menu I didn't read it, it comes on a slice of toast. Wasn't very good. Decor is very nice and pastries look good.Coffee itself was alright also. Ice cream was good.So so, would be back for a coffee and ice cream but not breakfast

The lovely cake-shop window draws you in, there's so much to see and it all looks so delicious. It's surprisingly spacious inside and the friendly staff fall over themselves to accommodate. The assurance that they're considering a gluten-free option on some of their most popular products is music to my ears. I love this little place and highly recommend it.

The food, the decor, the staff....perfect. You don't have to stick to the menu. You want it, they will cook it. A very relaxed and tasty addition to The Bec

Nice croque messieur even if is not made with pain de mi....nice croisantCoffe perfect lovely blond waitres nice smile And not expensive at all

Popped into this café while in the area for a wedding. Superb quality cake and coffee. Not cheap but not too expensive for London. Toilets in need of refurbishment.

I go to Tartine about once every two weeks, usually when working from home and set myself up in their airy and light seating area with my laptop. The breakfast menu is great and the coffee is always superb. I have always have great service from all involved here from the owner, manager to the staff (who now know my order).My personal favourite is the eggs benedict but they do a Croque Monsiour to die for, and the omelette is also a winner. Would recommend!

Love this place. The food is really good and reasonably priced. CleanAnd comfy seas especially the booths. their coffee and cakes are gorgeous. Can get busy but worth the wait for a table. Staff are always smiley particularly the lovely maitre di! Great spot for a lazy late brunch

I come here regularly, at least once every month or so. Atmosphere always friendly and welcoming and the staff always ask me where I would prefer to sit. I have ordered various things from the menu and all of them have been delicious and fresh. Lovely salads come with most lunch/brunch/breakfast dishes. Nice selection of cakes and pastries if you just want to pop in for a coffee. Try the calzone and the hot chocolate. Eggs benedict also a favourite. Portions are alsoa good size. Definitely worth the money.

Food was excellent value for money generous portions , simple and very tasty. The cakes were amazing and the service has much improved since last time visited. Would definitely recommend

I've been a regular customer for years and the service is always amazing. The food is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommend!

I had the eggs florentine and the sauce was somewhat solid. presentation not too good either, but it tasted fine. staff were not too friendly either. would probably only return if I couldn't fine another venue.

Went there for a brunch. Waited ages to get our order (for 2 people) and had to request our drinks twice. Food is ok but not amazing. Was expected much better so quite disappointed. The inside is quite nice though. Will hopefully get better!

Went here for brunch wow.Service - terribleFlat white - worst I've ever had in London Eggs Benedict - on toast not muffin (which was soggy) eggs were hard boiled and the ham was like rubber.My only regret was not taking a photo of how bad the food looked. Totally inedible. Complained to the waiter and who made no apology whatsoever.Refused to pay. Utterly Horrendous.

My sisters and I popped in on a last minute booking for afternoon tea a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely. Attentive staff and delicious pastries! My husband and I also regularly visit for Coffee and Cake and to date; great every time.

This review is for Tartine in Balham but I can only find the cafes in Tooting on TripAdvisor. Balham has plenary of options for brunch on the weekends but few who are so consistent with the food, availability for seating, and excellent value for money. The service is ok and certainly not the reason to come here - you need to try the food. It always have the same Eggs Royale with chips and it never fails to impress.

We went in for tea and cakes and while the cakes were delicious, front of house staff really spoilt an otherwise nice outing with poor and inconsiderate service. We had to ask 3 times for one of the items, and the tea was so late we were nearly ready to leave by the time it arrived.

Fine chicken wrap and great carrot cake. Coffee was ok. Very nice staff. I would expect a little bit more sophisticated flavours in french cafe.

Called in for breakfast on two occasions.Very good coffee and fresh French bread.very good value for money.Staff very pleasant and good ambience.

Popped in for lunch and coffee with my partner over the weekend. A nice friendly greeting from the staff who seated us promptly. The menu isn't extensive but has a nice selection or sandwiches, salads and burgers. A variety of different breads to choose from toasted or not toasted. Really tasty food and delicious coffee! Reasonably priced for the amount of food you get!

This place could SO easily be improved, if only management read the reviews on here: 1. Re-train staff in manners and basic waitressing etc. They clearly didn't know how to do their jobs, they hover over you whilst you decide what to order from the encyclopaedia sized menu and aren't very engaging/ borderline rude.2. Re-think the menu. It is far too long, focus on fewer items and do them well instead of doing everything averagely (and why does everything come with chips?!It's a shame as the cakes in the window invite you in but the staff don't. They have potential to be a Tooting Bec brunch/ lunch establishment as there isn't really one but they don't take advantage of that opportunity. The menu is also really cheap for the area but I wouldn't go as I know I can cook better myself (and I am pretty average). There are lots of other places nearby so they need to step up their game I guess, I don't really understand how they are still in business.

Popped by to pick up a coffee brew on my way to St. Georges Hospital. I was greeted by moody waitress no smiles or thanks to be heard. Coins placed on the table for me to pick despite the outstretched hand. Maybe I'm looking too much into it but I've had better service in other coffee houses; enthusiastic staff, politeness and engagement. The one positive to take away was that the coffee was great and the interior made it look like a lvely place to read a book and sip on a beverage. Won't be visiting again unfortunately.

My friend and I were looking for a brunch spot close to where I live, but I wish we'd gone a little further afield to Balham.When we walked in, the waitress wasn't particularly welcoming. We asked to see a brunch menu and she sort of hovered over us as we poured our eyes over their food offering. The place was quite shabby / eclectic - I couldn't work out if the decor was great, or downright terrible. There were nice wooden tables though, and the wooden chairs were adorned with names of local streets, which was kind of cute.The menu was quite substantial, so it took a long time to decide. I ended up ordering a croissant with ham and cheese, only to be told 15-20 minutes later that they'd run out of croissants. Helpful. So instead I went for the Eggs Royale and a fresh fruit salad.The food was actually decent - particularly the fruit salad, which I couldn't fault. But when I asked for some ground pepper for my eggs, they said no and just gave me the powdery pepper (which, for the record, is pretty disgusting). I could see in the kitchen that the chef had been using some real pepper, so I just asked to use a little, but they still said no. Not exactly friendly!When we came to pay at the end, we wanted to split the bill. The waitress went off to get her calculator, but instead of splitting the bill, she asked if she could round it up. So essentially, we ended up paying more than we should have. It was only about 5 pence, but it was the principle! It's safe to say we didn't leave a tip...I was debating whether to give this cafe a poor or average rating, but I chose poor because I really think this establishment needs to up its game. It's not a good local, and there are plenty of other wonderful brunch places nearby (M1LK, Brickwood etc.), that it seems a waste to venture into Tartine Artisanal.Will not be going back.

had sunday brunch with friend: eggs benedict was cooked well; the breakfast brunch was all encompassing and cooked to order as well. the staff seemed confused by citron presse order, but barista figured it out; cappuccino was fine...no hurry atmosphere very welcome: thanks!!

Incredibly disappointed. Bad food and bad service. Had to order drinks twice as the waitress forgot half of the order. The coffee was luke warm. Service was incredibly slow and we asked for the bill and waited 15 minutes to get it. I was given my plate of food and it was taken away from me as soon as it was put down and they took the mushrooms off, I didn't ask for that so that is confusing because I wanted them. The plate came back and there were chips on it instead, how strange. My friends chicken baguette smelled terrible, something was very wrong with the chicken. When she told the manager he had an incredibly arsey attitude. He then proceeded to EAT the chicken at our table to taste it, and refuted that there was anything wrong with it and it was just "marinated". The customer is always right, and that was the most unprofessional thing I have ever encountered at a restaurant, still in shock. Overall completely disappointed and a waste of money.

Having my mother in theater for an eight hour op and then subsequently ICU at St Georges hospital (just a short walk away) Overly emotional I was in need of some space, good food and somewhere to just chill. TA had been recommended by the SG hotel receptionist and she was right it was perfect. Being a bit of a foodie I passed all the other lorry driver cafes until I spotted the old fashioned bicycle, great marker. I was rather envious of those that had got their earlier than me and taken up the silver tables and chairs out front. I headed in and even though alone I felt comfortable, found a table and browsed the great menu choices. Ordering fresh OJ, which I didn't notice until later is made on site by a super clonking machine. I love the little milk jars for the beverages. The eggs royal being 10/10, looking at who ordered subsequently it seems to be a popular choice. I was thankful the staff didn't rush me, I was able to read my book and probably take far longer than I should have but not living in the area I took stock of what lay ahead and left a happier contented individual - thank you for your service and I hope to be back with my mother when she is much better.

I was here for brunch during a weekday and it was a lovely little place just off the main road to have a relaxing breakfast. An added bonus was that the meat served is halal so I had the full breakfast and my friend had the eggs benedict. The eggs on both dishes were cooked to perfection. Nothing worse than ordering your eggs to be soft and they arrive cooked to death. Instead of hash browns my breakfast came with sauted potatoes and grilled mushrooms. Both were seasoned well. Bacon was also cooked well and hadnt been fried to a crisp. The fresh morrocan tea was fantastic and I could have sat and drank that all day. Overall a very well cooked Halal breakfast in a nice little cafe where you can just watch the world go by.

I came here with my sister at lunch time. I expected it to be over run, but there were a few tables available. We were seated by a friendly waitress, who took our order (without needing to write it down!).Drinks came quickly followed shortly by starter. We ordered a set menu of main, dessert and small coffee/tea. Food was so nice and portions were good. Dessert had a nice selection to choose from, such as tarts, cakes, gateaux, pastries. Tea and coffee were bigger than expected. I struggled to finish everything, even though I was starving before I got there.Will be going again with the kids for breakfast.

Staff couldn't have been more attentive or helpful. Food and drink delicious and unusual. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

Now with my current penchant for rating breakfasts wherever I see them, this merits a thumbs-up for lateral thinking in substitutions and subtractions to the classic fare. The full English here means bloomers sans butter replacing fried bread, Turkey ham replacing bacon, potatoes sautéed in turmeric and paprika instead of hash browns and a garishly spiced mushroom concoction in lieu of classic mushrooms & baked beans. While everything is substituted in good time and with the right flavour notes the overall effect is a feeling I consumed a non-breakfast that filled but did not delight. That expanded my tummy but did it with no heft and mass. I would have asked the waiter, but he was disinterested in what I thought for sure. As evident in his droll quip.."How is everything?" dropped with a far away look at a passing cutie. I managed a polite nod while looking at my wife...who was finishing off her eggs benedict with glee and abandon. Well, I thought to myself, I know what I'm having next...

This place is truly amazing, I really feel at home here! There are so many other places opening around them but Tartine is the original trend setter that most cafes seem to have copied! I love their menu there is something for everyone and their smoothies are really good and the potion sizes are really generous!

I love this place, went to this place by chance, meeting with a friend. The display of beautiful cakes in the bakery made me want to try all of them, had a slice of cake and a hot chocolate. Was the best I've had by far in London.Waitress and staff were very friendly and helpful..Highly recommend this place.

I love going this to this place, as many of my friends agree ....it has the best coffee in tooting!!!A perfect place to sit and watch the world go by! You never feel like you being rushed out because they need your table! I see lots of people even using it as a place to work!But for me it is.....Relax and enjoy!

This cafe very close to my house and looks very inviting, but having been there on a few occasions I can safely say i will not be going back. Each time i've been there the staff have been extremely rude and made me feel like having to serve me was a massive inconvenience for them. The last time I was there was last Sunday, with my sister who was in London for a visit, and the guy who served us was unbelievably rude from the minute we walked in. He gave my sister hot milk for her tea so she went up and very politely asked to change it for cold milk.. he didn't even answer her or look up, he just grabbed it from her hand and basically threw a jug of cold milk at her. It was absolutely disgraceful and we stayed about 10 minutes and walked out as we couldn't stand to look at his grumpy face any longer. It's a pity as it has the potential to be a really nice place but I would suggest they ditch most, if not all, of the staff and start again!

Have been to this restaurant a few times, I always enjoy the food it's very reasonable and a great variety of choice too but for me the problem is the service, the ladies in particular aren't very welcoming or helpful with the menu, when it's time to order I feel like you have to always grab their attention and the same when asking for the bill, this takes from the experience of eating here as I do like the menu and it's a cute little place.

Oh dear, it didn't bode well that I had to get up and collect my own menu. I ordered a main course and thought fruit tart/ coffee to follow. No one even came to ask whether desert was required. Again, I got up and asked the waitress for my order. Over fifteen minutes later nothing had arrived and it was clear that the order had not been registered as I found when paying. Just as well as waitress cleaning the glass above cakes sprayed detergent directly over the glass and onto the cakes. Staff (plenty) still found time to have a good chat with each other. I explained my disappointment (but still ended up paying full price) Manager suggested I write to their site. Cunning plan. It's not working! Not even a, "we'll give you a small reduction next time." I was made to feel very unwelcome and that ruins the memory of what was essentially satisfactory food.

Went to Tartine with my girlfriend and was initially sceptical as all I was looking for was a fully English breakfast and this was a french style cafe.The staff (french) were very friendly, and I proceeded to order an omelette. I have to say the food was very filling and tasted great. What a lovely looking cafe! Inside and out. I will definitely visit again.

My partner and I had breakfast at tartine this morning. It was very busy and initially I was put off as I thought it was abit cramped. I was however, pleasantly surprised to find that they had seating downstairs. I ordered the eggs benedict with salad and mocha. My husband went for the full breakfast and the croque monsieur with fries with the Moroccon tea. The food was delish and the staff were attentive and friendly, despite the resturant being fairly busy. Needless to say we throughly enjoyed our sat morning breakfast and will be visiting again to try out the other food on the menu. Only downside my mocha was bordering on the cold side. Definately worth a visit :-)

We were looking for somewhere for lunch and decided on Tartine, we had been for brunch a couple of years ago and had enjoyed the service, meal and teas. Thistime we had lunch and we all chose different meals. All came in good time and were very good, reasonable price and relativly half decent staff.

Exposed brickwork, solid wood tables, spacious lounge at the back, upbeat music all contribute to a laid back atmosphere for a casual meal when you just want to chill and get something to eat. I can imagine equally enjoying coming on my own for a coffee.The menu offers a good variety of eggs, salads, wraps and burgers along with some more substantial dishes such as lasagne and Moroccan meatballs. There is a nice selection of hot and drinks including fresh mint tea and fruit smoothies, and the cakes looked lovely. The chicken quesadillas were excellent and generous, though there was too much dressing on the salad for my liking. Service was decent and if there was a Tartine local to me, I'm sure I would be a regular.

After being a regular at Tartine in Balham I was so excited to have one on my door stop. The service was awful, every waiting staff was moody and disinterested and each gave us a different list of dishes that we were unable to order. This was particularly confusing when we were trying to order a smoothie but no one seemed to know which if any they could provide. After craving eggs benedict we were disappointed to find that this isn't on the menu as it is at Balham. The food quality was really poor apart from the chips and after trying to pay on numerous occasions we just kept being given duplicate print outs of our bill which led to us nearly walking out in frustration. We won't be going back.

I popped in here for a coffee and muffin today on a day off work. I thought I'd be a little adventurous. Usually I would head to either Nero or Costa.I wish I'd been less adventurous.Service was very slow and my muffin tasted like it had been sitting there for at least four days! It was super dry and although advertised as a blueberry muffin, I only found one!On the bright side, the coffee wasn't bad but it was an inch and a half below the lip of my mug so didn't last so long.Sorry Costa/Nero. I'm on my way back!

I visited Tartine on the back of a recommendation that its "really good". Having arrived for some smoked salmon I was taken back by the menu not stating what its served on. I thought it would have been some brioche since its supposed to be have a French look and artisanal however it came on wholemeal bread which I usually eat anyway. Also, I wasn't asked if I wanted the egg on top of the salmon (which I prefer as it makes it easier to season). The service was good, however, there is scope to provide some more clarity on the menu and just a little more information. Personally, I prefer Patisserie Valerie on this occasion.

Just came for a cup of tea. I come in occasionally and the service has always been bad. The waiting staff have been gruff, cold and not keen on explaining theMenu properly. Such a shame as it a big place and the cakes look great. Will avoid and go to the smaller but friendlier place a few doors down.

This place could be great, good location and the cakes are tasty and look great. However the food is average, service is appalling... you have to ask for everything a few times and you are hard pushed to get any kind of smile, it's confusing whether they take your order at the table or go to the counter and the toilets are also filthy. What a shame, it has potential but the manager is obviously out of touch or doesn't care.

We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Ordered scrambled eggs on toast and a croque Monsieur. Scrambled egg arrived with no butter for toast. We asked for some and they seem confused. Croque Monsieur was made with Turkey ham. They don't serve bacon, which for me sort of kills it for breakfast. The coffee was also pretty average - ordered a flat white but tasted more like a latte.The back door fire escape was left open all the time with people in and out with bags of rubbish in grubby looking kitchen gear. Not very relaxing when trying to have a chilled Saturday breakfast. Felt more like we were in the way of their cake making business than valued breakfast customers.All in all pretty miserable. Wouldn't go back, can make a better breakfast at home with minimal effort or if you want a treat go to the French cafe in balham which does a great full English with bacon and sausage!

Tartine have got it right on the concept, its lovely as you walk in, ticks all the right boxes for mums with children or people meeting friends,.You are let down by the order taking (menu is presented via scruffy bits of paper on a clipboard) staff who cannot take instructions properly, I asked for a Frappe and specifically asked if the ice would be crushed and the reply was yes. What I recieved was a warm watery coffee with Ice cubes. I tried explaining that I didn't want this but the waiotresses do not seem to understand English well, One of the pastry chef's used ot work in Deelicious Nazish also in Tooting Bec, must say his desserts were outstanding, I don't know what happened at Tartine but the variety they have is not very good, The desserts all have Patisserie cream, the chocolate tart is more of a custard and the texture is almost rubbery ... very weird experience eating it. The prices are extortionate for the quality that is offered.The smoothies are refreshing and the chocolote mousse cake is very good.

The coffees are good. However if you order granola, don't expect to eat anything like granola. I was served what looked like old remnants of a cereal box with a few raisins. Bland bland bland. They may just have been having an off day. I nearly went for the large salad however when I asked if there was a small version of the salad available, the cook almost had a heat attack. Buck up please!

I've just returned from one of the worst breakfasts of the decade, feel quite depressed. We went out to the Balham branch (which isn't listed here). The bacon was reconstituted, ironed and tasteless, the mushrooms were canned and tasteless, the herbs used were dried and...again, tasteless, the bread was satisfactory, the eggs were over cooked, and probably not free range judging from their lack of taste...everything tasted of nothing, it was almost an anti-breakfast. How on earth a place just across the road from some of the best cafes and butchers in London can get a simple thing like breakfast SOOO wrong fascinates me, it's almost as if the chefs have never had breakfast before or something?. Even the coffee was poor. I honestly don't go out of my way to dis places, I prefer to just let bad cafes sink under their own power, but this place stands out for special mention. Congratulations Tartine !

Visited Tartine Artisanal today. Food pretty good, Coffee good. Service is a let down. It's nice to sit in a coffee shop and relax but it is hard to when the staff seem like they are struggling to stay on top of service, constantly looking stressed, lots of rushing around, and one or two of the staff don't exactly smile or give off a welcoming warmth. Whilst sitting in the coffee shop, a female staff member decides to keep the shop door wide open despite it being a cold, miserable and winters day. I understand that she may be warm because she is working but it is very cold for us customers....customers come first don't forget. Overall, service is slow. I have been to better coffee shops and will return to them in future instead of this place.
