"The Laundry is nothing like the tedious chore it’s named after. A perfect morning at the Brixton spot looks like good coffee and spicy meatballs on toast, a buttery, malty banana bread with honeycomb butter for afters, and then a restorative tequila bloody maria on the terrace out front. Between eating comforting Antipodean-British dishes and admiring the mint green banquettes, you’ll realise you’ve been here for three hours and mentally planned a big event here." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
