Green Monkey

Green Monkey in Tooting has found its groove after a recent refurb that turned the space bright and airy without losing its warmth. Owner Rusty greets regulars and newcomers alike, setting a tone the whole team follows — reviewers describe service as attentive without hovering, and quick to offer recommendations. The menu skews brunch-focused with standouts like the French toast (described by one parent as "paradise to my taste buds"), beef brisket, and Turkish breakfast loaded with tasty cheese and honey with a kick. Families appreciate the highchairs, buggy-friendly layout, and genuine welcome for all ages. The sweetcorn fritters and brioche breakfast draw repeat visits, while fresh-pressed juices and massive dirty chai lattes keep the table happy. One mum noted "my daughter had the Turkish breakfast... both delicious!" Staff member Karla is mentioned in reviews for thoughtful suggestions, and Rusty is known to regulars for surprising tables with complimentary baklava or banana bread. Best for leisurely weekend mornings when you want proper food and a space that feels like a find.
