the tea here is worth pausing for, and so is whatever's sitting in the dessert case that day. cafe lokum pulls off something that's genuinely hard to do: breakfast and brunch that people return to regularly, not just on a whim, on baring road in lee green, which isn't an area drowning in specialty options. that scarcity could mean low standards. it doesn't, here. regulars have made their feelings clear, consistently, and that kind of loyalty in a london neighbourhood takes real repetition to build. if you're making the trip out to se12, go with enough time to sit through a proper brunch rather than rushing it. the coffee is the anchor, but don't leave without something sweet.
