2 speciality cafés
South Lambeth's speciality coffee scene centres around thoughtfully run independent shops that take their craft seriously. Moonstruck brings a quietly confident approach to espresso and filter coffee, while Nostos Coffee over in Battersea Park offers its own distinct character and approach to sourcing. These aren't places built on marketing or volume—they're worth visiting because they reflect the genuine interests of the people running them, and that tends to make for better coffee and a more honest atmosphere.
