hally's parsons green

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 popularplaceto 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.

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 thisplacesuits me down to the ground - on the website they say theplaceis "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. theplaceis 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 theplaceis 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 greatplacefor 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.
