Sunday Brunch in Brixton

Sunday started with a change from the norm and we decided to visit Brixton Village for the first time since summer.
Since moving to SW2 in 2011, we've visited many times for breakfast, snacks, dinners and just a walk around. With a mixture of vintage shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes and grocery stalls it offers a bustling Sunday morning atmosphere (albeit more of the units are open Monday-Saturday)
We wandered down Electric Avenue and into the discreet Brixton Village entrance and towards the back to Senzala Creperie. Set in a row of exciting street food style cafes and restaurants and opposite Coffee Federation, its a busy spot on a late Sunday morning. A mixture of rarely seen young professionals and students seemly without hangovers all enjoying the fresh winter morning gives a positive vibe to the area.
Leigh and I, along with Mia in the pram were greeted inside. They managed to get us a table with the pram tucked in and out of the walkway with Mia fast asleep.
Service is always quick and efficient as they are one of the busier eateries and need to turn around the tables as quickly as possible… however we never feel rushed by them. 
I love the savory buckwheat gallettes of which they have a huge selection. The Berliner or the Morning Glory are out usual favorites for breakfast. Although we have tried the sweet crepes too and they are not to be missed. The hot ginger beer is a definite recommendation to accompany the food.
Warmed up with our bellies full, we left with change from £20 and a smile on our faces!
