F. Mondays

F. Mondays is part cool coffee shop, part manifesto for life—and we can wholeheartedly throw ourselves behind both. The Brixton spot is takeaway-only, save for a charming bench seat in front of the window, and is more of a fancy grocery shop. The shelves are lined with lovely things—spiced chana dhal, tubs of excellent Ice Cream Union ice cream, and avocados that have reached peak ripeness. Once you’ve stocked up on fancy produce, turn your attention to the counter and the excellent cookies—lemon and white chocolate, salted chocolate with caramel swirls. You should also know that there’s a charming, hidden garden that’s perfect for sipping coffee on warmer days. There’s usually a queue at peak coffee hours (9am and 12pm-ish), so come afterwards if you’d like to browse the shelves in peace.
