I think you mean the Dulwich Cafe, Louisa. Not been in there for a while but it seems to have had a refurb. The other good place to go is The Lane Cafe which is opposite the Thomas Moore building. My favourite has got to be The Bishop pub - great fry-up, pint of Abbot Ale and a really friendly atmosphere.
This is a subject close to my heart, and I've been trying various caffs over the last few years. Of the ones actually on LL in the centre of ED I reckon the best one is The Lane, next door to Property In. Near the station there is one at the top of Melbourne Grove opposite the post office which is pretty good. My favourites are the Upland as already mentioned and the Blue Brick on Fellbrigg Road - the Blue Brick probably just shades it on food quality. I've also heard that the Plough is top notch but for some reason not been there yet - to be remedied, hopefully soon.
Word on the street has it that Jack's is very good - it's just up the road with the Magdala on the corner - can't remember the name of the road. I don't think it's the greasey spoon variety however. I've not been, but my girlfriend swears by it, which is why I'm guessing they serve organic, homemade cous-cous served on a bed of hand-reared 12 year old finest lettuce leaves. Probably more of a Blue Mountain job than a Lane. The more grease the better if you ask me! On a non-Dulwich note, apparently Ikea serve a fry up for 95p!!

Drive to Croydon with a hangover before 10am?!?!?!?! What kind of cruel and unusual punishment is that!?


Anyway counting the travel cost, associated carbon footprint and the ?100 you will end up spending on superfluous, quirky cutlery and a flat-packed side board it all sounds like a very, very bad idea.


Just stumbling down LL armed with a pair of sunglasses and a fiver is altogether a better option.

But once you get over that, it's one of the best, richest breakfast foods in existence!


Anyway, fry up components include a pigs back, a chicken embryo, a common fungus, and whatever combination of brains, bums, hooves and b*ll*cks that they put into sausages - surely a bit academic to quibble over the blood that previously ran thru the beast and the fat that kept it cozy?!? :))

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
