Qype: Breads Etcetera in London

So I finally came here at the weekend. I've been meaning to come in for breakfast for about a year now, but i've always been put off by the long queues of pashmina wearing peroxide 20 somethings and Hooray Henry's.

So what's the verdict then? Well, some things were excellent, some what you'd expect and some bits need a lot of work. Let me explain:

Excellent things:

- Delicious soft boiled eggs and very tasty bacon. Some of the best i've had in SW4.

- Tasty, soft bread which you can toast yourself at your table.

- Friendly, efficient staff who are willing to take the time to look after you

No so good things:

- Music. Absolutely terrible. Saturday morning at 10am is not the time to be playing shitty Euro House.

- Credit cards no accepted. I don't care who you are, if you're operating on Clapham High street you need to accept multiple forms of payment.

- The People. As i mentioned above, it's pretty cramped in here so you're going to have to listen to your neighbours conversation. Unfortunately, Breads Etcetera attracts the kind of people that give Clapham a bad name. Don't say i didn't warn you!

I'll be back, but i think i will be coming back at a time when it's not quite so busy and I'll be sure to sit next to the stereo so i can persuade the staff not to play crap music.
