Fantastic Filter Coffee on platform 11/12
As anyone who travels through Clapham Junction Railway station knows, the little food/coffee stands on each of the railway platforms vary greatly in quality and price, with a general leaning towards poor quality and high price...
The little coffee stand on platform 11/12, which I believe is called cuppa-cino (based on their coffee cups) is an exception. They've been serving me wonderful cups of filter coffee from Union Coffee Roasters for almost a year now, and it's one of the best cups of filter coffee I've found in London. And I'm aware of Monmouth, but living and working where I do, that's more of a special weekend outing than a regular habit.
Platform 11/12 filter coffee is not only delicious, but it's about 20-30p cheaper than any of the other vendors at the station. Worth the detour if you have a few minutes to spare between connections.
If this coffee stand is, in fact, cuppa-cino, it looks like they have other stands on other platforms. Please comment on this entry if you've had experience with these other ones. Would be good to know about!
One final comment, I've also become a fan of their honey-bran muffins, but they don't have them very often. Can't really comment on the other food.
