Nice coffee but always run out of cakes. Should change opening times to 14.30 if that's when start clearing up and making customers uncomfortable being there. Keeps shutting early, turned away 8 people in 3 parties today at 14.50 as already switched off coffee machine and cleared away everything early again.
Not the best curated place but amazing coffee in vibrant Brixton Village Market some more attention to the interior decor would help ...not many seats inside and only few table outside if you lucky to grab a spot is a very enjoyable place to suck in all the energy of the village market while sipping your coffee and people watching ! They also have some pastry I love their cinnamon ban with moka w/soy as combo!
Sign at the door says F amazing coffee, and it really is! One of the best ones I've had in my life
I tried Federation out because I was passing through Brixton. I’m glad I did. This is a proper coffee shop with baristas who are knowledgeable about coffee and can give good advice. I enquired about purchasing beans to take away and had a chat about the flavour profile of the coffee and the best grind for my Bialetti. The barista then let me try an espresso to ensure I was happy before buying. The espresso was seriously good. The beans that were ground for me were only roasted a week ago and filled my vehicle with the most beautiful aroma all the way home. I bought a flat white with Bonsoy and was very impressed. Balanced flavour and creamy texture all the way to the last drop. My only gripe is that they didn’t have Oat milk odd for a hipster coffee shop in 2018 and no vegan cake options either. I’ll be back for the great coffee though. Keep it up guys.
Lovely staff and great coffee. Even though some of the staff have endured 10 days in a row they are still smiley. AmazingFood: 3/5
I'm not a fan of drinking coffee outside my home, the culture of coffee drinking became crazy with all these hipster sub-cafe's that charge you a small mortgage for a cup of semi decent brew Well.... This place is a bit different, the service is excellent, coffee is to die for and even in spite of being in the midst of the most redeveloped part of Brixton sadly it still stands strong. I will be coming back as they literally serve drinkable gorgeousness.
Small coffee shop in Brixton Village but good ambience and good coffee. As a digital nomad, the only thing I feel disappointed is no power outlets. I cannot stay longer.
The staff are so friendly but they all keep leaving. I blame the arsey customers who leave one star reviews complaining the staff are too friendly to customers and talk to them, thus keep them waiting in the queue. F them.
An absolute gorgeous place though absolutely terrible customer service! I have basically just been thrown out by the staff for absolutely no reasons. This happened while I was quietly waiting for a take away coffee that I have been told would take no less than 5 minutes be be served. I had no problem to wait if you were busy, dair enough, but it s not a reason to be rude! I asked for my money back and left, unfortunately I wont be back
Baristas were super friendly and dedicated to their work. Seemed to really enjoy working there. Love the vibe, outdoor seating is really cool, they give you blankets to use while you're out there!
