Up early on a weekend & need some sustenance? Hally’s is the place to go. It starts to fill up around 9am on a Saturday but if you’re patient the tables turnover pretty quickly. Can’t say much more about the food than what’s been said already — it’s simple and consistently delicious.

This is like a little slice of California in London. The focus is on healthy food that’s tasty and there are so many delicious brunch options I’m consulting my schedule to see how many times I can come back in the next few weeks to try different things. My friend had avocado and poached eggs on toast, which is always a winner in my book. It was seasoned with lemon and chilli flakes and was beautifully presented with a sprig of rocket. Being greedy, I opted for two items. I loved the sound of porridge with Granny Smith apple, agave and toasted almonds so I had that as well as a chorizo, coriander and red onion omelette. I cannot remember the last time I’ve had such a good omelette — chorizo and red onion go so well together. The décor in Hally’s in bright and open-plan, the food is fresh and the staff were cheerful even on a cold and dreary winter’s day in London. I left feeling nicely full but with none of the heavy /blocked up /guilty feeling that accompanies a fry up. I’ve already planned what I’m ordering next time — ricotta pancakes with berries, fig, honey and Crème fraîche. Yum!

It is what you expect from an establishment on this road. To be fair and honest I’ve only been here twice since it opened. Service was OK. It can get busy, be sure to call ahead if you’re ordering certain foods from the menu. This way it cuts your waiting time… hopefully.

I love this spot. Great atmosphere, friendly service and beautiful food. You’ll be queuing for brunch if you arrive later than about 10:30am on a weekend so try and get there early if you can!

This is a great café for brunch, I’ve only been on weekends so haven’t tried the full menu but from what I’ve had its delicious. The food always tastes fresh and is relatively healthy. The only downside is that it gets quite busy so sometimes the service is a little slow. You can bring your dog though which is a huge plus!

I really like this place, it has a great atmosphere but the food lacks in flavour. I came here for brunch and had two poached eggs on toast(£5.50) plus a latte(£2.70). The latte was really good, two thumbs up for using Monmouth Coffee. The espresso art was fabulous but the poached eggs were nothing special, that being said 3 stars will do for me.

This place has a great vibe and is filled with families on the weekends, so be prepared to wait. They have a communal table if you are just popping in for a bite to eat. Their coffee is good however very dependent on who is making it, so not great on consistency. I’ve been here three times, their scrambled eggs are delicious. However their corn fritters are bland and rubbery so best avoided.

It has been great since I moved to this part of town — the number of brunch options is simply mind-boggling! Hally’s is clearly a neighborhood favourite… you can see queues of people spill onto the pedestrian path over the weekend… a wee little space with a big following! I have stopped by a few times for a quick coffee and a slice of cake… it’s a friendly little spot where one may well run into friends from the area. And I have also enjoyed the one brunch get-together here when I had an unusual dish of lentil fritters, avocado, sour cream, etc… their ricotta pancakes and other items on the menu look intriguing enough to come back here again. Good thing it’s only a short trek away :)

Big fan of Hally’s. The brunch menu is varied, and the coffee is great. They also have a big choice of pastries and sweet things to tempt you, should you just want something to nibble on with your hot drink. I tend not to order them myself, but they serve a chai latte(which I was made to try by a friend) and boy is it good. Can be busy on the weekend, meaning a wait for a table, but it’s not the biggest place in the world. It helps that the staff are friendly. Can imagine I’ll be back here fairly often!

This place feels just like home! The decoration is lovely and it’s the perfect place for a Sunday brunch with friends. I had amazing benedict eggs, the hot drinks we had were really good too. The staff is really friendly too… I’ll come back soon!

A wonderfully ambient and friendly café in Parsons Green. The prices are quite reasonable for London(£2.50 large cappucino, £1.80 banana bread) and the quality was excellent! Wonderful service from John, the Australian head-barista(as of Sept 2013). Lovely vintage décor. Recommended.
