With all the hype Tooting Broadway has received, it’s no wonder another business has popped up on Mitcham Road
Juliet’s Afro Superstore has been taken over by MilkTeeth, a new antipodean coffee shop that also serves hip brunches, smoothies and
delicious homemade cakes.
Being a coffee lover and brunch fan, it didn’t take me long
to pop by; I wanted to find out if we have another cool place to hang out in Tooting.
Milk Teeth is the big sister of Milk in Balham, a popular cafe with hour-long queues every weekend.
The decor looks modish with stripped back, exposed brick walls, long wooden benches, a mish-mash of tables and chairs suitable for kids and the yummy mummy clan. With a plethora of brown and beige, the jugs of water filled with fresh, bright green sprigs of mint, bring a pleasant contrast to each table.

I take my coffee black, no sugar. I enjoy the full
flavour of the bean and I wasn’t disappointed by Milk Teeth Tooting Broadway. It
was served in a proper cup, rather than a mug or paper cup. The coffee beans are supplied by The Barn, a specialty coffee roastery in Berlin.
Today's coffee beans were from Kayon Mountain, Ethiopia and as the guys at Milk Teeth take their coffee seriously, you're even supplied with a card explaining the bean you're drinking - such a nice touch.
I also ordered a smoothie: my choice was the Polly, a zingy blend of coconut, mango and lemon verbena (a fresh herb similar to mint, but with lemon flavours) served in a mini milk bottle. A fresh and healthy treat - just what I needed.
The menu has all the brunching favourites... eggs, mushrooms,
bacon and (of course) smashed 'avo' on sourdough toast. Feeling adventurous, I
thought I’d give the Sweet Maria a go. Sweetcorn fritters served with 'krispy' halloumi, avocado, kasundi, lime and I even added a poached egg to the mix. I heard on the grapevine that these were the best things since sliced bread... and boy... Yep!
Everything about this dish made
me incredibly happy: the flavour, the freshness, the touch of spice, the portion size and the way
it arrived to my table, neatly presented on a silver platter (even my poached egg arrived on a separate mini silver tray).
If you’re a brunch fan, you have to check out Milk Teeth Tooting Broadway. It's more spacious than Milk in Balham, but I’d recommend
going before it gets too popular. No one wants to queue for brunch - especially
me.
