Piptree is a neighbourhood coffee and brunch cafe at 40 Upper Richmond Road in Putney. Its bright, relaxed setting welcomes early coffee stops, weekday breakfasts and longer weekend meals. The menu gives equal space to classic cooked breakfasts, colourful contemporary plates and considered vegan choices, making it useful for groups with different preferences.
The Full English combines local pork sausage, dry aged streaky bacon, folded eggs, hash bites, maple beans, mushroom and sourdough. A vegetarian version replaces the meat with grilled halloumi and avocado, while the vegan plate brings scrambled tofu, avocado, hash bites, beans, mushroom and country bread together without animal ingredients.
Avocado toast is sharpened with house chilli oil, lime and roasted tomato. Pancakes can be topped with fresh berries, compote, maple syrup and cream, matched with blueberry and bacon, or turned into a sweeter combination of chocolate spread and banana. Granola with Greek yoghurt, berries and maple syrup offers a lighter morning option.
Later choices include a house burger with onion jam, a pastrami and Emmental toastie, smoked tofu with avocado, and a smoked salmon bagel with whipped feta. Seasonal plates such as Turkish eggs add further variety. Coffee, loose leaf tea, pressed juices, iced drinks, smoothies and dairy or vegan milkshakes keep the drinks selection as flexible as the food.
