Surely a serious contender for best coffee south of the river? I've been going to Brown's ever since it opened and am only sorry that I'm not in south London as much because I just love going here. Excellent coffee complemented by beautiful, creamy farmer's milk (I forget where it's sourced), great service, really good little snacks to accompany. And the new downstairs area is great! To top it all off, the clientele of this café seem particularly friendly - I've regularly struck up a conversation with a person sitting opposite.
I agree with Clarinetman.
I dipped into Browns on the way back from picking up a new tamper etc from Coffee Hit (espresso accessories and machine supplier that has a tiny warehouse around the corner).
I had a great Flat White made with Square Mile Summer Blend. They also seemed to have Stumptown and a few other specialty coffees available from time to time.
The Flat White was small with a strong crema on top of the microfoam. For a late afternoon coffee it was perfect as it needs to punch through the built up flavours of the day.
Food was limited at 3pm, but everything looked good. I ha...
Excellent coffee, food, atmosphere and staff. My Flat White arrived promptly with a great taste and at the perfect temperature. The communal table gives the place a very relaxed feel. Staff a very friendly and happy to have a chat about the local area and their coffee sourcing. Being so close to brockley station makes it perfect for a quick break on the daily commute.

Situated opposite Brockley Rail station (15 minutes from London Bridge), Ross and his team have made good use of their space, to combine good coffee with wholesome food that you can take away with you.
With an eclectic mix of background music (take an LP along with you and see what happens...) and a communal table where you can share the experience with others, there is a good ambience, allowing you to chill out and read a book or loving gaze at all the jams and preserves on...
