Wacka Espresso in Merton

The coffee is spectacular and the bacon rolls - just wow! Who knew chilli jam went so well with egg and bacon. Staff super nice and helpful. Will certainly be making this our go to breakfast destination in Wimbledon.

I made the mistake of going to Wacka when I had a doctor’s appointment and while I had an hour for lunch, I knew their service could be a bit slow. However despite me alerting them to the need to leave promptly and asking if they could organise my very modest sausage sandwich faster than normal, they still managed to take nearly 50 minutes to serve me so I was gobbling down my lunch and running off just in time. It had become laughable that despite my request they managed to serve my husband and daughter their lunch 10 minutes before mine. I can only assume my waitress was so terrified of the cook that she never passed on my request for prompt service. It’s disappointing because I want to support local restaurants but unfortunately their service is so slow that unless you just need somewhere to sit to while away the day, they are completely unsuited to lunchtime service

Una de mis visitas a cafeterías en Londres. Wacka en Wimbledon sirve un café excepcional y el menú es excelente. Te recomiendo que lo pruebes. Algo nuevo en los últimos meses es que presentan trabajos de artistas locales, por lo que hay algo para todos. También se admiten perros, lo cual es una gran ventaja personal. He estado yendo allí desde que abrieron, pruébalos si estás en el área de Wimbledon / SW London. Miles y su equipo hacen un gran trabajo.

Buen desayuno si tienes tiempo para esperar. Esperamos 45 minutos para nuestro café y 55 para nuestro pedido de brunch de sándwich y avena simple. Tuvimos que pedir que limpiaran nuestra mesa del cliente anterior 3 veces. La comida fue muy buena al final.

Mi novio y yo pasamos por el brunch y Dios mío, el bagel de carne salada era TAN DELICIOSO. Al igual que el sándwich de halloumi. Una buena comida en general con fabulosos asientos al sol y un servicio amable. ¡Gracias!

I hired Wacka for my 30th birthday and it could not have been more perfect. The service, the food, the drinks and the scatter of balloons were all more than I could have asked for. The Bellini’s and Espresso Martini’s were a special touch my friends could not get enough. They also made cupcakes and their amazing flat whites to end the evening off. Thanks Wacka! You guys were fantastic! Christy

Really cute cafe, I had the fritters - delicious and my husband had the full wacka! Really nice and cosy place 🥰

Given the overall standard of this category of cafe nowadays we were surprised how far below our expectations this fell.... the service, though agreeable, was slow and the food rather heavy, cloying and unappetizing - we left rather a lot uneaten. Judging by the positive reviews from other customers we may just have visited on an off day but even though fairly local to us I couldn't imagine eating here again given the number of far better options in Wimbledon & Raynes Park.

I visited this ‘open’ cafe this morning at 7:30 only to be told the kitchen doesn’t actually open until 8. This wasn’t a big deal as I had a cup of tea and read my newspaper. When the kitchen opened at 8 my two colleagues and I ordered 2 slices of toast each. At around 8:20 our meals hadn’t arrived so we asked what was going on. 10 minutes later the waiter brought over 3 slices of toast in total that were hard as nails (as was the butter we were supposed to use). When asked why the bread was so hard we were told “it’s sour dough it’s meant to be hard” in a very condescending tone. When asked why we were served sourdough she then said “this is all we do. A lot of people like sourdough” well not us 3. The staff were rude and full of their own self importance and I’d recommend you avoid at all costs. It’s the worst.

This place is a gem. The quality of the food is outstanding, very friendly relaxed service. Great brunch menu. The coffee is outstanding and carefully selected. The hot chocolate is also amazing. We will alway return.

Great new neighbourhood coffee shop. Good prices and nice atmosphere. Only been during the day but will definitely try evenings too.

Wacka is the only decent café in Wimbledon if you actually enjoy coffee. They roast their own beans, know what they’re talking about, and the service is excellent. Food’s great too!

My sisters and I went to wacka for the evening service on a Saturday night. The service was amazing - the waiter was attentive and very knowledgable about the eclectic wine list and helped us pick out the Beaujolais which was beautiful and paired perfectly with all our food. The food was delicious and refined. The must try is the monk fish crudo, we ordered a second serving it was that good. Every plate was faultless, can’t recommend this place enough.

We have been going to Wacka for coffee and brunch since it opened and have always thoroughly enjoyed it. We were recently delighted to see that it was opening on Friday and Saturday evenings to serve small plates. We visited in the evening for the first time last night and we were blown away; the food and wine were superb and worthy of some of the very best restaurants in London. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate but worthy of particular note is the burrata with radicchio, peach and coriander seeds and the charred baby leeks with romesco sauce, egg yolk and spelt. I can’t wait to go back and eat it all again!

Came here to try the new dinner menu- a great selection of small plates, perfect size and great flavours. The monk fish and chocolate tart are 10/10!!!
