You're walking down Peckham High Street and you need coffee that doesn't taste like it's been sat under a heat lamp since 6am. Criterion Cafe is where locals actually go, not where Instagram tells them to go. The sort of place where the staff know their regulars' orders and the bacon's properly crispy. It's unpretentious in the way that makes you realise how tired you are of everywhere else trying too hard.
