Domitianus Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hey folks, there might already be a thread about this but here goes. New Italian deli and tea shop was being finalised beside lloyds at top end of LL, by Dulwich Library. It's in the premises that was Plough Electrics. Anyone know anything about this? Have they chosen somewhere a little too out of the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Plenty of people live up that way, hopefully they'll do well. And as LTP says, it's close to the park... always plenty of people milling around those parts on the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzie Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I think it's a great location - but then I'm biased as I live round the corner. And anyway, they've got a large catchment area stretching down to the village and up towards Friern/Upland and the Harvester. No competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipperary Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I live around the corner so i'm delighted they're there - the bus stop outside is always packed in the mornings if thats any reflection of the potential footfall.Best of luck to themNow all we need is someone to do something out the half finished shops/apts across the road!

Mick Mac Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm also looking forward to it opening - with this shop and also Somerfields (not eveyone's taste perhaps), its nice to see something happening at this end of the lane. Its a bit of a walk to the bottom of the lane from where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I am looking forward, too, if only to see how something very British will be done by a nationality linked so strongly to the un-tea (aka coffee). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenED Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yes, this is something to look forward to. Quite a surprise that a nice cafe hasn't opened up at that junction before now. I wish it all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggers Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 it will provide succour to those who have survived the queue in lloyds bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly D Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 How can this be out of the way? It's just the other end of Lordship Lane! Will be well served by library and park goers, not to mention us folk who live this end. I am very (maybe too) excited about it opening. Is it called Tea Amore, or Tea & More?!

SeanMacGabhann Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I think the bus stop alone will keep it in business - and it looks quite smart too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzie Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Apparently it's open today - a friend of mine just called me to impart the good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domitianus Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I popped in this morning. Seems quite nice. Range of pastries, anti-pastas, breads, olives etc. The staff seemed pleasant and there is a small seating area out the back in the 'garden'.I will actually buy something next time and I hope they do well.

verds Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I have sampled their coffee - very nice. And a delicious mini pastry. The staff are friendly too. Like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Mac Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Great news - I will send my wife round to check it out with her mumsy mates (while I'm at work :(). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwick Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Geez. With this place and its pastries, together with Il Mitro pizzas, I'm gonna have to go on a sustained diet... or move out of East Dulwich.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiec-o Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Went in there today - delicious looking food (had a great sandwich) and very reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareC Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 oooh can't wait to try it! It's great to have somewher nice to go to up that end :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisiana Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Or up this end...A welcome addition to the neighbourhood.Even better if they could persuade TfL to install an LCD display for buses on their way. We could then leap out of the door as the bus sailed across the junction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 They should do well. Very good location. Looking forward to checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingertom Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I went in yesterday - I came over all excited that it was open. I had a great toasted ciabatta sandwich and good coffee. The staff were very nice, being both accommodating and charming to my son. Thoroughly welcome addition to this end of LL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawdy-nan Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 wish they'd open before 9 and wish they'd do a pasta dish - then my life would be complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 There is already a well established cafe at this end of LL. The Bread of Life Cafe has been successfully running for a number of years in Christ Church at the end of Barry Road. It is a commercial concern run by Lynn and Yvonne, and is very well populated by young and old customers. Meals are cooked to order and fresh ingredients are used. Open 9 - 5 during the week only.Traid Craft Centre is open 10 - 4 pm weekdays and 10 - 1 on Saturdays.I believe that once a month Christ Church will offer a lunch on a Saturday as part of its fund raising efforts. I had a great meal for ?3.50 last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
