Flotsam & Jetsam

still on the south side of the city, and flotsam & jetsam on bellevue parade in tooting is one of those spots that quietly holds its ground. the organic and vegan credentials aren't decorative, they shape what ends up on the menu, which matters if you're keeping a close eye on what you're drinking or eating. the tea programme is serious enough to be worth your attention even if you came in fully committed to espresso. it works well for solo visits too, the kind of place where you can actually think. tooting isn't a neighbourhood that needs a coffee scene grafted onto it from somewhere else, and this place fits accordingly. on a grey weekday morning, the tea list alone gives you a reason to slow down.
