\"\"<\/p>\n

Tucked away in a railway arch right next to\u00a0Loughborough Junction railway station, is the Beanery cafe, a welcome addition to the rather bleak landscape around this\u00a0stretch\u00a0of Coldharbour Lane.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We visited on a day of wild summer storms<\/a>, so there were no takers for the small area outside.<\/p>\n

In better weather, it might be a rather pleasant place to sip cappuccino and wait for your train (or watch the traffic thunder by).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They’ve made good use of the limited space inside, and there’s free wi-fi, so it’s a good place to catch up on some work.<\/p>\n

Despite its diminutive size, the cafe also puts on\u00a0regular\u00a0music events, usually on Fridays. Check out their \u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0for listings, or look on our sister Brixton listings site,\u00a0BrixtonBuzz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s also quizzes and other events taking place too – much kudos goes to the owners for putting so much effort in (and with Loughborough Junction losing all of its pubs, live entertainment venues are much-needed).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The food looked\u00a0great\u00a0and was reasonably priced too,\u00a0although\u00a0this time around we only had a coffee. We ordered a large cup, but this proved to be a bit of a mistake as the cup was near\u00a0bucket\u00a0sized!<\/p>\n

The coffee wasn’t bad, but not for the bean\u00a0cognoscenti\u00a0(hardcore caffeine purists are advised to head to Federation Coffee\u00a0in Brixton Village instead).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The interior decorations are fun and I liked the window out into the station waiting area. The lady serving was friendly and polite too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like this place a lot. It’s friendly, clean and tidy, has tasty looking food and I imagine it’s a\u00a0whole\u00a0load of fun on live music nights.<\/p>\n

If you live\u00a0nearby, it’s\u00a0definitely\u00a0worthy of your support!<\/p>\n
