Parco Cafe

You'll walk into Parco and immediately feel the difference—there's no Instagram bait here, just genuinely good Italian café culture transplanted to Vauxhall. The espresso hits right, the cornetti are buttery enough to justify the calories, and the staff actually know what they're doing behind the counter. It's the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar with newspapers and you don't feel rushed through your breakfast, yet it moves with proper rhythm. The neighbourhood locals have clearly cottoned onto it, which tells you everything.
