Crumpet

If you don’t have kids, it’s probably a café to miss. Really expensive food and drinks, and lots of screaming babies and loud kids.

OK, so you can take your kids and they have kids meals but at what prices! Over £5 for a tiny portion of macaroni cheese that the kids probably won’t eat anyway. Our food was ok and good coffee, but way overpriced. And for what is meant to be a child friendly place, I kind of got the feeling they really don’t like families…

Overpriced average food and drink.

I visited Crumpet in Clapham on a Saturday morning and it felt like I was walking into a nursery playground. While enjoying an otherwise very nice breakfast and coffee it was difficult to engage in a proper conversation due to the screams of children.
If you are a parent looking for somewhere to take your kids and meet your friends with kids then this is probably the perfect café. The menu is not huge but has a good selection of sandwiches, soup, tea and cakes. But in my personal opinion Crumpet is a bit too child friendly to be a relaxing café.

Crumpet is a laid back café that caters to a lot of yummy mummys in the area. There is a specific area in the back where there are lots of toys lying around for the kids and mothers can breastfeed their babies. I come in here quite a lot because they serve lots of different teas and the café lattes and hot chocolates are particularly good. They also serve cakes and muffins.
Staff are very friendly and helpful and the café has a couple of tables outside where you can sip your coffee and watch the world go by. A local market is also held on Saturdays, which you can browse through later on in the day.
A favourite of mine here is the sausage bap with Crumpet’s homemade onion marmalade, which is served with vegetable crisps.

Nearly £6 for a small bacon sandwich. A good place to buy food if you want to just give money away.

I think this got top Kid’s restaurant in time out last year. if you don’t have kids it is still really good — bit pricey, but very nice cake! Sit near the front — there are less kids as there is a play bit at the bac. Actually if you do have kids you may well want to sit at the front as you may well be sick of all the noise by the time you have finished slurpping your cappucino!
it is a goo little place though, bright, light and well, good for crumpets!

Crumpet is a great place to take the kids for tea and snacks. Delicious muffins and scones, which can be washed down with a lovely afternoon cuppa. There’s ample place to park the buggy, and a play area at the back with a good range of traditional wooden toys to play with. No wonder it’s so popular with local families.
