another lovely little café in battersea.

Why hello, everyone! I'm sure you all know that I love to spend my time in cafés, so I thought I'd share with you a lovely little place I discovered recently. Despite living in Battersea for the last eighteen years and visiting the high street most weekends, I've never really noticed this café until recently, but I'm so darn glad that I did! Costa's Barbers is just off Battersea Park Road along a little cobbled high street, where they sell an eclectic selection of antique homewares and furniture, plus sell teas, coffee and homemade cakes. Whilst the sizing of the drinks are quite small, the atmosphere and friendly owners definitely make up for that fact, my mum and I will most definitely be visiting again soon! I wore a pastel pink Topshop dress which I bought secondhand, a faux fur stole and my favourite chunky knit cardigan, which I'll be sharing with you in a proper outfit post soon! Love, Jazzabelle.

  15. wonderful photos!! It sounds and looks amazing, I love coffee shops but not a fan of the chains (nero's is okay though)... the coffee is too expensive and not strong enough for me!! I love independent coffee shops and we have quite a few near me too.

  47. It's always the way isn't it, you live somewhere for years and barely discover what's on your doorstep! There's a castle a mere 10 minutes away from home which I've never been to, you have inspired me to visit :) ♥ Claire @ Jazzpad
