A perfect spot to people watch from. I love their coffee, the panini are awesome and the pastries are to die for.

It can get a little bit noisy at busy times, but it's well worth it just to soak up the atmosphere and nibble good nosh. A firm favourite of this Brixtonite!

Quite simply the best coffee in Brixton. Lovely family atmosphere (headed by Mario) - and, added bonus, free WiFi! NB address is now 413 Brixton Rd,SW9 7DG

The welcome, hospitality and service make you feel like your visiting old friends. Here custom is valued & appreciated. There is a variety of hot & cold food on the menu which makes it difficult to choose as it all looks so good. I can reccomend the chicken & corriander pannini which is really popular, they dont stint on the contents either. Hot drinks are exactly that....Hot... as they should be. Hot chocolate is rich & velvety and so more...ish! There is the usual coffee menu of Latte, Cappuccino & Esspresso.
There is seating inside aswell as downstairs which has a large T.V on the wall. The toilet facilities are situated downstairs and are kept clean & hiygienic. There is seating outside at the front of the cafe, the staff are happy & willing to supply additional tables at busy times should you wish to sit outside, this is great news for smokers.

The overall value for money is excellent. Of all the best attributes San Marino has to offer I must say the service is second to none.

San Marino is an oasis in the heart of Brixton.
