coffee man with a van

Sad that Antonio is no longer working for Bean About Town — a great loss for Clapham North

Fantastic coffee, beats Starschmucks any time!

the coffee must be good! im all the way in australia and these reviews make me want to jump on a plane and get over to clapham north and grab myself a latte. go antonio go… :) go aussie go. lol

Without venturing down the Clapham High Street to gems such as Breads etc and Esca, finding a decent coffee in Clapham North was once like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Until now. The appearance of the ‘Man with the Coffee Van’ outside Clapham North station, excited many locals. Great coffee (made with Monmouth beans doncha know), at a decent price. He’s not always there mind you, but the times he is (weekday mornings, and Saturdays from about 10am) be sure to stop by. The friendly Aussie barista (Antonio) is always keen to chat while you wait, and the coffee is fairtrade and/​or organic. The orange juice sold in decent sized bottles for £1.70 is AMAZING too.

great coffee and service with a smile. As good as Mr. Coffee @ Kentish Town tube station which has the best coffee in the area.

Absolutely agree with all, Antonio’s a welcome addition to the area, great coffee, great attitude and lovely guy to boot!

Walking back from the gym this morning past Clapham North Tube, I discovered a little gem. A guy, in a cap, sitting reading the paper underneath a big umbrella next to his cute little old-​school coffee van. When I asked him do you serve proper coffees, like lattes and stuff, he just looked at me and said you can’t find a proper coffee around here so that’s why I’m here! And indeed it was fantastic and brilliant that it’s just outside the tube for sleepy people in the morning. He’s right there’s not that much decent coffee in Clapham and this little guy’s coffee van has just that. Served with a smile and finished off with a ciao bella — what a nice walk home from the gym. (Note to self — supposed to have given up caffeine though!)
