hally's parsons green

as per covid all stored was closed but they do take away. i̇ ordered a latte , i was with my kids , the owner is very rude, she shouted us and told be stand 2mt away. i̇f you so scare why you still open.

there's a pretty good little foodie scene around my neck of the woods. fulham's always got a new up-and-coming cafe, restaurant or bar to boast about it and hally's is one i've been meaning to visit for quite some time. the allure of its california beach-inspired design totally drew me in, so last weekend when my beautiful friend soph was staying with me after an amazing trip in greece, i thought it was the perfect opportunity. why not chat about her greek islands escapades in a seaside cafe setting?

we had heard of hally’s from a friend and decided to go there for brunch and he was right - hally’s is absolutely adorable. they have loads of tasty looking pastries at the counter at the entrance and the space is bright and happy, and so is the service, and the food. there are loads of very cute places in parsons green for tasty brunch such as chairs & coffee and hally's is definitely always a good choice.

i've dined at hally’s in parsons green numerous times, and i’m so pleased that this california inspired cafe is within walking distance from my home.

it's a popular place to eat as there is rarely a free seat in the house. i'm always happy to wait, and the moment a table becomes free, you're quickly seated.

the menu which changes weekly, is a goodie. i've had everything from avocado on sourdough toast with a side of smoked salmon to a salad with lentils and crispy halloumi.  everything was incredibly delicious.  the coffee, from monmouth, is great, and as we all know, coffee is very important!

there's an open plan feel to the cafe, and they have a couple of tables out on the sidewalk.

casual, modern, and cool, with great food, it's one to visit for brunch on the weekend.

we ventured down to hally's on a sunny summer day for brunch to find all the patio doors wide open. bright and airy, it's a lovely but small interior with white washed walls and little trinkets displayed in built-ins around the rooms. everything on the menu looked good but we settled for the eggs royale, glasses of fresh orange juice and cappuccinos. they were busy, so the staff were pretty hassled and rushed but the food soon made up for it. the hollandaise was light and flavourful, the eggs fresh and the sourdough toast nice and crispy from the toaster. i eyed the table next to mine as they dove into corn fritters with the traditional bacon substituted with salmon (it looked amazing). as far as brunch goes in london, it doesn't get much better than this. it would just be nice if it was a little less rushed, but perhaps that was just the day we visited. i want to go back to try dinner at hally's when it relaunches!

there's something very satisfying about walking past your average chain coffee shop and into the warm ambience of an independent café. hally's is a cosy, friendly and low-key café in which lunch eating, wine drinking and group-gathering are all totally acceptable and encouraged activities. start out of the glass windowed front door at the passers by, or tuck yourself up in their cosy backroom.the staff are friendly and accommodating; rather than uniforms, the waiting staff were sporting snazzy festive jumpers, an additional decoration to the gentle fairy lights dotted around the place.go for one of their scrummy looking cakes (or cookies the size of my head) or add a cheeky shot of baileys to your mid-afternoon caffeine fix. saying that, the coffees have no need for adaptation: my cappuccino was rich, velvety and deceivingly strong- delightful! i enjoyed the fact that they have skinny milk options but don't stop there; try a soy latte or almond milk mocha for a coffee with a (less lactose) difference!a charming little find which i'll be visiting again on my next visit to parson's green.

hally's is a californian style cafe that opened in parson's green in 2013….i have wanted to go there for a year but it's always busy. so at the beginning of the month i arranged to meet my darling friend lucy there for lunch at 12pm - that way i would definitely get a table. arabella came too. as i am sure i have mentioned several several times i am a wannabe american (i still dream of living in 90210) so this place suits me down to the ground - on the website they say the place is "all about innovative, fresh food, expertly made coffee and a relaxed vibe"and it is based on all the great places the owners came across while on a road trip in the golden state. the place is decorated like a californian beach house (i kept hoping i would see luke perry on the next table) and they serve breakfast from 8am-11.30am and then lunch from 12pm-4pm but the place is open til 6pm. the brunch menu at the weekend changes weekly and they do take away of coffees, pastries and cakes. we were there for lu

good morning!
i’ve found a great place for you to try. it’s one of those places you don’t really want to share, but i like you, so i’ll let you in on it.
hally’s is a new california inspired hangout in parsons green. there’s a coffee bar for an early morning with the paper, communal tables for an afternoon sprawled out with work and tables in the back for a catch up with friends.

i was drawn in one weekend by the delicious looking pastries displayed home-style on the bar.
pearl & groove cakes have such darling packaging and yummy flavours like coconut, rum & lime, blueberry & white chocolate and earl grey.

we were seated in the back, surrounded by trinkets and objects the owner has collected from local markets.
my brunch date and i were sufficiently starving by now, and thoroughly looked forward to our brunch arriving whilst we chattered away. lucky for us, the portions are definitely american sized and we struggled* to finish it all.

*don’t worry, we persevered and successfully cleaned our plates

i’d definitely recommend their weekend brunch or popping in for breakfast during the week. it’s a lovely atmosphere and delicious food.
