The Brick Box

I’ve now experienced two very lovely brunches here with friends… Service was spot on and very helpful in guiding our choices. I had the carmelized onion and goat cheese galette and it was fantastic. Affordable and delcious.

I swung by here yesterday for a late lunch, sucker as I am for crepes of the sweet ‘n savoury variety. The crepes were tasty and at £3-£4 each, pretty cheap. The waitress was friendly and funny and the location in Brixton Village Market rather evocatively exotic. All this, alas, was undermined by the age it appeared to take for our food to arrive — around 30 – 40 minutes per crêpe, or about 5 – 10 times slower than the service I’ve had in other creperies! Maybe 2 stars seems harsh given the good food, range and friendly staff the Brick Box has to offer. But this is somewhat useless if your food doesn’t turn up in time! I won’t be hurrying back, particularly given the huge choice in other eateries nearby.
