About Lala Cafe Brixton
Set in a railway arch on Brixton Station Road next to the market, Lala Cafe Brixton is a cafe built around breakfast and brunch, with a lunch menu running alongside. The kitchen serves a North African inspired breakfast of merguez, m'samen, olives, feta, fresh tomatoes and salad, and keeps the English breakfast pork-free by using chicken sausages and turkey bacon, so diners avoiding pork can order the full plate. A small English breakfast, a vegan version and a build-your-own option widen the choice further, and the team asks how you would like your eggs and other items cooked. Drinks cover freshly brewed coffee and flat whites, fresh mint tea, fresh orange juice and fruit smoothies. The cafe opens daily, and dogs are welcome inside.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what brings people back, and the full English leads the way, with several reviewers expressly recommending it and one noting that staff ask how each element should be cooked. Close behind sits the North African breakfast, singled out for its merguez, m'samen, olives and feta, described as freshly prepared by a diner who calls the Moroccan touch the draw. Repeat visitors mention returning specifically for the small English breakfast paired with fresh mint tea, and the pork free options, chicken sausages and turkey bacon, come up as a rare find that doesn't dent the classic plate. Portions are called generous and the value reasonable. Coffee earns steady praise, freshly brewed with a rich aroma, alongside flat whites and fresh orange juice, while others point to the berry and mango smoothies, the mixed salad plate and the creamy potato bake. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, and one diner recalls staff showing particular kindness on learning they had an upset stomach.

“Situated in a railway arch, Lala Cafe offers a wide selection of breakfast options with a Moroccan touch. The service is friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the “North African Breakfast (4 merguez, 2 fried eggs, m'samen, olives, feta cheese, fresh tomatoes and mixed leaves salad)”, accompanied by an excellent coffee and fresh orange juice. Everything is freshly prepared; I was particularly impressed by the delicious merguez. I highly recommend it for breakfast in Brixton.
