Laura & Jess Tilli
as it says on their web site
the very proud owners of ‘Brown & Green’-a wholesome lot more than just a train station cafe!
You can find our original Brown & Green cafe at Gipsy Hill train station serving up a whole range of take-away delights and our big shiny new addition is at Crystal Palace station. If you haven’t popped in for a coffee, a cuppa or some serious brunch yet then come on down & find out what all the fuss is about! We’d love to see you.
We serve exceptional organic Fair Trade teas & coffees, the best British bacon butties ,freshly baked croissants , steaming porridge, healthy salads, homemade soups & sarnies, and some seriously yummy cakes!
We are so excited to have opened two of our very own Brown & Green cafes right on our doorstep - being local girls serving our gorgeous local community is a complete dream.
Can’t wait to see you soon! Xx

- An innovative scheme proposed by our dog walker representatives to help encourage good behaviour by dogs
Seriously - it was the sort of community meeting which made you feel it was worth being involved.
