San Marino Brixton

Mario is the consummate host. He made me feel very welcome at his cafe/bar for the Italy vs Switzerland match. Great atmosphere, friendly service and excellent value for money. Thank you for your warm hospitality Mario. Grazie Mille! 🙏

Oh wow! Don't dare complain here! They send in the heavies!! Used to come here years ago at the other location, was friendly & great value. Today I ordered a Toasted croissant which was raw! Three staff members came out one by one to enquire what was wrong with it. The last one was very passive aggressive told me it was the cheese not that the croissant was raw. Called me sweetheart in an aggressive manner. She was having none of it. No need for the rudeness! My last visit here.

Love this place!!! I have been there for breakfast and dinner with a pint or few😁 Friendly people especially the young lady Miss Florine (not sure the spelling of her name my apologies) who serves my hearty food and drinks. I was only in the area for 5 days but ate for 4 of those days. Thank you for making me so happy and comfortable

great local atmosphere in the upstairs part, and there’s a downstairs area as well which is great for if you want to sit down and get some work done or have a quiet space. loads of outside seating as well, with a canopy for rainy weather. perfect local spot to catch up with friends and have a budget-friendly bite to eat.

I've only ever had coffee here and it's the best I've had. I love my coffee and have had them from many different places but this is the best so far. Decent price too for a big cup. There's a man that usually does it and he pays attention to detail. They've got a great seating area outside if inside is too crowded. I always get my coffee from here.

Very busy at lunchtime on Saturday but seats outside and the food was great. Had the chicken burger in brioche bun and chocolate cake.

Visiting Brixton Village for the first time from the U.S. and we happened upon this restaurant serving happy hour drink specials. The drinks were crafted and well made, the music and atmosphere was a whole vibe. The owner is the best and so accommodating. Our happy hour turned into a happy night with delicious drinks and almond croissants. Great restaurant and even better after hour spot.

This place was recommended by 31 and 25 year old employees in the village in Brixton. They told me to go here for a proper full traditional English breakfast. I went, ordered and tucked myself between two people at a small table. The food is as you see. I...didn't know pork comes with a full English breakfast. Be warned. Anyway, we all know that English cuisine has done for food what the United States has done for domestic gun rights: (which is to say nothing and people die everyday.) There are no English restaurants outside of the UK. This is for a reason. So, I wasn't expecting much. And the English breakfast delivered. However, the food was filling and I daresay the sausage had flavor. I'd never recommend an English breakfast to anyone but if they wanted one, I would suggest San Marino, even though it was kind of congested when I went around noon noonish. The thing is, when told two British that I had ordered a full English breakfast and showed them the pic, one of them shook their head, dissenting. "No, that's not a full English. The bread should be fried in lard and where is the blood pudding?" The other Brit said that I had ordered a "posh" full breakfast. Called it a hippy version. But blood pudding sounds staggeringly revolting. And ultimately, there is no pleasing 2 Brits. If you disagree, just ask them when you add the milk when making tea. They get downright sectarian. So even though they weren't satisfied with my meal, I was. If you're a tourist, like me, why not order here? San Marino has a ton of delicious options on their menu. I would go back and order something else if I weren't flying out tonight.
