[Food] Cafe on the Hill

Café on the hill is a café which I normally get my omelette for lunch. The one I normally order is tomato and mushroom omelette with salad as my side. Why we chose this café is because of the convenience (it is quite near my work place) and also the speed of the service. The café is located on Brixton Hill, it is about 15-20 minutes walk from the station, the closest tube station is Brixton. You can catch a bus from the station to the café, just make sure you catch the correct bus, the buses that go towards Streatham. The café is located on the main street with a bank of other smaller stalls.

We normally order at the counter and find ourselves a table. The food comes within 15 minutes after ordering. It is quite fast and good. The price is reasonable, it is about £5 for an omelette and a drink. The portion is massive (if you have chips and baked beans as the sides). The presentation is pretty good and the service is pretty good from the staff. We haven’t had any problem in terms of our food. Sometimes it can get quite busy especially during weekday lunch time. But the speed of the service is still quite fast.

[Food] Vera Cruz

Vera is a nice café on Brixton Hill, normally I get my omelette at this café but also I’ve tried other type of food from their menu. To get to the café you can take a tube to Brixton and it is about 10 minutes walk from the station. The café is on bank of shops between the Lambeth Town Hall and Lambeth’s Olive Morris House. The café is quite cosy and small, it is good to have a cup of tea while you are there. The staff are quite nice and friendly. They are pretty helpful as well and quick on their feet. The service is quite decent, although when it gets busy, they are quite short staffed. Their peak time are weekday lunchtime, sometimes all the tables are full. During their peak time, the wait time can be 30 minutes for food and about 15 minutes for a table.

Overall, the food is quite good and quite fast. The size is quite decent, it is enough to fill you up. I do like their omelette with salad. It is more than enough for me if I have chips on the side. Their soup is quite nice as well, they have soup of the day, so to me, it is always a surprise to see what they have. Their burger is quite nice as well as the big breakfast. I quite like that you can get breakfast during lunchtime, to me, it sometimes messed up my routine, but yet sometimes I do feel like a big breakfast at other times than morning.
