relative newcomer the Brown Derby (top end of Clapham Rd near the tube) always has a crowd. no tables outside but you can sort of perch.
don't know if it's the Cable Cafe ed refers to, but there's a new cafe on Brixton Rd by the bus-stops closest to Oval tube, which is really nice and has a couple of small cafe tables outside on the pavement, not really ideal for sitting with bike but ok.
the White Bear theatre pub on Kennington Park Rd further north towards Kennington has a proper outside front bit, but is a bit further for your friend to walk. Round the corner is the bike-friendly Prince of Wales in Cleaver Square.
there are a few pubs and cafes near Kennington Cross but I'm not familiar with them. Il Due Amici looks nice though.
