Jihaana Backx Golden sacks, morning glory, and chocolate balls. Yes, Im an adult child. Two coworkers had recommended Patpong to me as a must try, so when my friend messaged me saying he was down I knew where I was taking him. The restaurant looks like its a family run business and the waitresses were really polite and attentive. The bathroom and dining area were clean and I liked that my plate was warm from having just been taken out of the dishwasher. The food. They say laughter is the best medicine, so when I read Golden sacks on the menu I wasted no time in medicating my friend. The golden sacks are crispy spring rolls (ball shaped), with a side of sweet and sour chilli sauce. They were pretty delicious and perfect for my non spicy eating friend. Over all the food was delicious. I regret not ordering a side of rice to go with my stir fried lamb, but it was delicious nonetheless, so much so I had finished it before I remembered to take a picture. I am a little disappointed we didnt order morning glory, but we have saved it for another day, because, there will be another day.

Martine Cunningham What a meal!! Went to celebrate husbands 50th birthday. Food did not disappoint. Service was amazing, and they even prepared a special pudding complete with candle and sang to him! Memorable evening, and food to die for! Will definately be going back.

Guy Thompson Great little cafe on the town centre. Not a huge menu, but everything is perfect! Lovely attentive and friendly staff! Will be coming back!

Sam From the moment the steaming pans arrive, this café turns morning into a small, joyful ceremony. The star dish is a bubbling pan of eggs bathed in olive oil, studded with blistered cherry tomatoes and a gentle sprinkle of herbs; it tastes like sunshine and slow Sundays. The bread comes thick and fresh, perfect for tearing and wiping up every last drop of the rich, tangy sauce. The colors alone—red tomatoes, green herbs, creamy whites, golden bread—make the table look like a beginner’s painting of a perfect morning. What truly elevates the experience is the warmth of the people who serve it. Local women tending the café move with an easy grace; their smiles, quiet attentiveness, and friendly chatter make you feel like a welcomed guest rather than a customer.

Sabrina S I’ve been coming to San Marino in Brixton for years and it has always been one of my absolute favourite spots. It’s a family-run café and you really feel that warmth every time you walk in — the staff are genuinely welcoming and make you feel at home. The food is consistently amazing, especially the breakfasts, which are some of the best in Brixton. Everything is always fresh, well-cooked and generous, and it’s the kind of place you can rely on every single time. I’ve brought friends and family here over the years and it’s always the first place I recommend. I also love that they now have a bar in the evenings — the cocktails and atmosphere are brilliant and it’s become my go-to spot before and after gigs. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Always leave happy, full, and already planning the next visit.

Khansa Malik Popped in for a spontaneous brunch, the free easy parking was the initial main attraction! It was suspiciously quiet for a brunch spot, but I genuinely feel the locals are missing a treat here. It did start to pick up whilst we were there. Sairam was quick to serve us, and happy to adapt the menu, adding hollandaise to my avocado, poached egg, toast order, which was a real treat. Food was fresh and deliciously seasoned. Ordered the French toast and drinks also. Was looking to indulge in their cakes afterwards, however portion sizes were so generous, we were super stuffed. Will definitely return, and hope to be served by Sairam again! Thank you.
