Roma Cafe

You're walking into the kind of place that doesn't need to try very hard—the sort of café that's probably been pulling shots the same way for years. Roma Cafe sits on Peckham Park Road with the ease of somewhere that's earned its regulars, and you'll find yourself amongst them ordering a flat white that actually tastes like it was made by someone who gives a toss. The food is straightforward Italian done well: pastries that aren't there to be Instagrammed, paninis that hit different at lunchtime, pasta specials that rotate depending on what's good. It's the kind of neighbourhood spot where the owner remembers your order.
