Whenever I go around the area close to Oval tube station I find that the lack of interesting local coffee shops is quite acute. Yesterday we went there to meet with a contact of ours and discovered Cafe Van Gogh which is found at the corner of Brixton Road and Mowll Street. First of all the Cafe seems to be coming out of the church that surrounds it. What is great is that you have an interesting "church" architecture which enables the cafe to have access to a small pleasant court yard garden.

From the sound of it most of the staff that work at Cafe Van Gogh are of Italian origin, which explains why there lasagna looked quite tasty. The people who were there when we arrived seemed of all ages and lead me to believe that you would feel comfortable coming here with your baby as you would with a few friends to sip a glass of wine. As far as I know no such place really exists around Oval so I would recommend this place if you're in the area.
