Sorry if this place has already been mentioned but I went there for the first time today...


Well tried to but just missed it as they were closing, the owner though very kindly offered me a free sample to apologise and I have to say it was delicious! Far nicer and creamier than oddonos and the selection looked fantastic


Will certainly be going back during opening hours. Apparently they do ice cream in a brioche bun for breakfast which sounds amazing!

From what the owner was saying they are slowly extending the opening hours, seems like an odd strategy but that is how they are doing it! Was certainly open when I went there at 3pm today but don't think they are staying open very late at the moment.

Doesn't exactly encourage custom if potential punters have no idea when they set out whether they will be able to get an ice cream or not!!!


Do they have a notice on their door saying what their current hours are?

Sue - no they don't! And without a website it's pretty hard to tell when they intend to be open in the first place- twice I have set off from home on a sunny afternoon specifically to get an ice cream from them(I only live 10 mins away ) and twice they have been shut - very lazy of me but makes me a lot less likely to pop down in the future... Which is a shame because I really enjoy their ice cream- delicious and great value.

I haven't even had the chance to try it yet!!!


But I won't be making a special trip down there again until they have regular and publicised opening hours - will just have to hope that they're open when I'm passing and in the mood for an ice cream :))

Seems very odd place - we went to get ice-cream based on recommendations on here, but they only have ice-cream in cardboard pots rather than cones (love a cone) and also don't accept cards, only cash.


Frustrates me when a business opens but isn't really geared up for customers?

I've been and the ice cream was delicious. But we also wanted it with a cone. There was also no price list and the lady behind the counter had to explain how it all worked. Whilst I was there I saw two customers walk in, look a bit confused and then walk out. I persevered and it was worth it but they do need to make it a bit easier for customers.

I agree. This place is a bit odd- tried twice to buy an ice cream. First time 3 staff were attending to one customer whilst I waited (and left), second time I was only allowed to buy 3 scoops. I wasn't allowed to have one or two scoops, or if I did I'd have to pay for the price of three. There is no price list and no menu of flavours.

Based on my experience, I'm really not sure what the confusion is.


On Sunday I was greeted by a very friendly and cheerful guy and girl. All the flavours were displayed Oddono's-style by their respective tubs. Those that were unfamiliar to me were explained with a smile, as was the pricing structure. I chose the smallest tub size which, as MissDumpling has previously posted, is currently priced at ?2.50. You can choose up to three different flavours for this size of tub. You can have one big scoop if you like. Or two smaller scoops. Or three little ones.


I thought it was excellent.

Britain was lashed with more rain today with July now predicted to be the wettest on record.


Bookies have suspended betting on July 2015 seeing the most rain ever as the downpours brought

down a month's rain in one day

      Interesting solution to owning a cargo bike

      By Rockets · Posted

      Quicker than a car…crikey how fast do they go?   I have PTSD from a folding bike I had as a kid that snapped in half when I did a jump! I look at things like this and Bromptons and get the fear which is why I stick to sturdier bikes!

      National Travel Survey and cycling policy in London

      By Rockets · Posted

      Earl…that isn’t misinformation it comes from the very report the 20% increase (in cycling stages) claim was taken from and regurgitated by many without actually checking the facts. Unless, of course, you are saying that TFL is spreading misinformation….;-)   Here are all the reports: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/travel-in-london-reports   Then scroll down to the Travel in London 2023 - Active Travel trends (pasted below to make it easy for you to find) and then you’ll find everything I have quoted from page 13…. https://content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-london-2023-active-travel-trends-acc.pdf   And I am actually shocked that, despite all the investment, that growth has been minimal…hardly the 10x growth Will Norman claimed was coming…..   Cycling made up 4.5 per cent of trips in London on an average day in 2022, up from 3.6 per cent in 2019.

      New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham - 2024 Edition

      Because it's affordable and plenty of choice.   It's a changing and will continue to do so. As with most areas going through the gentrification process it will be all about the night time economy meaning a saturation of drinking holes and ' cool and vibrant ' licensed eateries. Brixton mark 2. I think Covid slowed down the pace of change in the next ' up and coming ' areas and has given many prospective ventures itchy feet and pause for thought because there's less footfall and disposable cash than there was pre covid. Brixton for example is much quieter and visibly down on numbers in both bars and eateries. Across London clubs and music venues are dropping like flies.
