Love this little cafe. The food is perfect, and so is the coffee! I like to come here every time I'm in London. The spinach pie is my favorite, but if you're in the mood for something sweet there is also a number of great cakes, brownies and cookies. Can't go wrong.
Depending on what time you go it can get very busy! Avoid the usual busy times like noon. We usually get lucky and find a table among the limited seating. -

Recommend the chicken salad sandwich and the tastiest coffee in London
My sunday ritual is to read the paper (it gets busy here so you might be hard pressed to find a paper available to read) with a mug of their amazing coffee and a warm white cheddar scone. Ask them to heat up the scone and melt some butter on it... Heaven -

Whenever I move to a new location (like I did just recently), one of my top priorities is finding a "home". Not the place where you pay rent, but the place where you go for good coffee, teas, light fare and baked goods. Black Walnut is such a place. And the fact that they are nestled in the heart of "Old South", Wortley Village, only further augments their charm. The people around here seem to know this, and so there's a great thriving community of patrons that if you frequent "the Nut" (as both workers and some clients like to call it), you'll see a lot of smiling familiar faces before long.
Their baked goods, both sweet and savory, are superior to any other place I've tried in London. And they beauty of their fairly broad and extensive selection is that there are no wrong choices to make. Only right ones! ;)
Their coffee is also amongst the absolute best in town, but admittedly I have been to many great cafes world wide, and there's room for improvement there. With that said, it is my understanding that they are aware of this and currently working to improve on this, so don't be surprised if you see latte art before long and my rating goes up to five stars! :)
The food and service are great. They have a knack for comfort foods: great soups, sandwiches, quiches, frittatas, pot pies... Yum! The service is absolutely warm friendly attentive, and they have no problems getting to know you by name and making you feel at home.
This is it friends... this is home! :) -

I dropped in here the other day and have to agree that the coffee I had was one of te best I've had in London. Had some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies as well and they were very tasty. Will definatly be back to try their food...

If you live around Wortley Village you know that the place has always needed two things - a pub that serves good beer, and a coffee shop that serves good coffee. (Little Red Roaster, I'm looking at you when I say that second thing).
I can't help you with the beer. But Black Walnut can certainly help you with the coffee. Which is, in my estimation, fricking awesome. Also the food is pretty good: sandwiches, soups and salads are good lunchtime fare, and they have cookies and other good treats for the rest of the time. The service is friendly enough, although nobody's yelling "Norm!' when you walk in or anything.
The space is generally pretty nice - there's lots of good seating, and comfortable enough that you could go there and perch for a bit while you read a book or do some work. Does get busy at lunchtime, so arrive early. -

I have yet to try a hot beverage here but I can attest to the tastiness of their salads, pies (quiches), and cookies. I look forward to going back again and again. :)
My only gripe is the seating. Whenever I have been there the little place has been full. Oh well... the food is good to-go too. :)
