Easily the best Kebabs in the area, but it has been mentioned there is little competition.

Good food from simple dishes to more complex with nice friendly staff, and reasonable prices.Easily the best Kebabs in the area, but it has been mentioned there is little competition.

Crumpet is not a very good food service outlet - the prices are a bit too high and there have been a number of health scares over food in the area - being close to Wandsworth Common there have been outbreaks of mice in some restaurants and market stalls selling food on Northcote RoadCrumpet is not a very good food service outlet - the prices are a bit too high and there have been a number of health scares over food in the area - being close to Wandsworth Common there have been outbreaks of mice in some restaurants and market stalls selling food on Northcote Road

I have to second the previous review - this is a lovely place to have a coffee and a snack, although for me, the school theme is somewhat overplayed, and I'm not keen on the school tables to sit at, but then this is a cafe that is dedicated to families, and it's great that there's a place where children are welcomed with open arms.

That said, everything else is great - the service is friendly, and there's a great variety of items on offer, including muffins, cupcakes and savoury items like sandwiches, quiches, pasta etc, and it all looks home made.

Balham has recently seen the arrival of Starbucks, to add to the Caffe Nero already there. But it's places like this that give an area personality, and when it's as good as Bertie and Boo, there's no reason to seek the 'security' of a ubiquitous brand.I have to second the previous review - this is a lovely place to have a coffee and a snack, although for me, the school theme is somewhat overplayed, and I'm not keen on the school tables to sit at, but then this is a cafe that is dedicated to families, and it's great that there's a place where children are welcomed with open arms.
