Earl Grey and Rose - A real peach

I love coffee shops which do something different and do it well. Earl Grey and Rose does the vintage vibe really well and this is backed by decent coffee and food.

When I made my first trip to Earl Grey and Rose I thought I was about to discover a new gem. Turns out this gem was well and truly discovered by Streatham residents years before me.

On this trip I was worried about whether there would be space for us, with pram and all. We were able to navigate our way to a table at the back. Mrs Spiller did the ordering, flat whites and carrot cake.

Baby spiller and I looked around at all the stuff which gives this place a special vibe. It's not a very blokey place but that doesn't stop local tradesmen coming in for one of the impressive door stop sandwiches and I don't feel less of a man being here either.

The carrot cake was nice, we weren't too sure about the icing, a bit bland but otherwise fine. The coffee wasn't a flat white, it was more like an americao with warm milk but it was a very tasty coffee so I was happy. 

We bought Baby Spiller a babycinno, we thought that would just be frothed milk but it was actually the works, some hot chocolate, frothed milk and lots of marshmallows. Baby Spiller wasn't too sure about it but that suited us just fine, yum.

If you've not been to Earl Grey and Rose, get down there, it's one of Streatham's many great spots.

They've got a website under development with some nice photos, check it out... www.earlgreyandrose.com
