Parissi

The sunny atmosphere and tasty food and drinks at Parissi will soon transport you to a Mediterranean island. Owned by a Greek ex-pat, this café combines Greek, Turkish, French, and Italian influences. It’s a relaxed place that encourages people to come together. The interior is contemporary, with vines trailing down shelves and tempting baked goodies on the counter. You can also sit outside in the café’s secluded secret garden. It’s the ideal respite from the hustle and bustle of Brixton.

The menu here is diverse, offering something to satisfy every appetite. New products are made by the team every week and the menu is continually evolving to offer something fresh and tempting every time. You can start the day at Parissi with breakfast plates or lighter options like granola and yoghurt or toast. Throughout the day you can sample mezze dishes like baba ghanoush or baked feta, as well as sweet and savoury treats from the counter. Every day you’ll find fresh pastries and cakes, salads, toasties, and frittata. Even more indulgent breakfasts are available at weekends.

This café serves both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. As well as coffee, you’ll find tea, freshly-squeezed juices and homemade lemonade, plus wine, signature and classic cocktails, and beers that are locally-brewed in Brixton. Parissi also offers catering and food styling services, and can host private events at the café. From quick lunches to relaxing long afternoons, this place is a hit with local residents.
