Little Louie

You'll find Little Louie tucked away on Ash Avenue, one of those Elephant & Castle streets that's quietly gentrifying without losing its grit. This is the kind of place where your flat white arrives exactly how you want it, and the staff actually remember regulars. The food's unfussy—think sourdough, proper eggs, seasonal specials—done well enough that you'll want to come back, but never trying too hard. It's become a genuine local spot, the sort of café where neighbours bump into each other and laptops stay politely in the corner.
