I had a cowboy at Bread Etcetera

There’s nothing better than to have brunch at a lovely place on a cold crisp Sunday morning. Breads Etcetera is a delightful little corner bakery inside Brixton Village.The smell of toast coming from the table takes over the corridors of the arcade. You can’t  possibly ignore the lovely display of organic sourdough artisian breads handmade in the premises. Every single table outside has it’s own old fashioned looking Dualit toaster for ‘DIY toast’ and blanket for the cold days. Inside you help yourself from a selection of spreads like Nutella, peanut buttler, Marmite, honey, a variety of jams, marmalade and butter. On Sundays they serve brunch with side orders (eggs x 2 per portion, beans, wild mushrooms, the cowboy etc)  price starts at £1.50/each to go with a selection of freshly baked bread. The cafe serves freshly roasted coffees and a lovely looking hot chocolate.

 

The service is very welcoming and cheery.  As soon as you arrive, they ask if you suffer of any allergies and cater to your every need. Nina and Daniel,  two of the three Australian owners,  are very charming and attentive hosts. Daniel and his trusted assistant were kneading bread when I arrived for a Saturday afternoon coffee. I liked it so much I went back on Sunday for brunch we had the soft boiled egg and a cowboy (Cannelli beans, made in the premises tomato sauce, and Cumberland sausages) They also have cakes, muffins etc for all sweet teeth out there.

    Wow, what a great find Rosana, I had not heard of this place before. I think Britain needs better Bread shops (Gregg's is so rubbish) so this is good news. Wish they had a "padaria" on each corner…
