Just come home after a visit to the new cafe and it is LOVELY.


There is lots of choice of what to have to eat and drink.


The staff are really nice.


It is very spacious and well laid out.


There are lots of high chairs and little toys for little ones.


I did not go into the toilets but one of the girls said they have a nice changing table for the babies with a mobile hanging over it.


We went in after our Powerpramming class and the staff did not mind that there were loads of us with prams.


The hot chocolate and muffins were gorgeous! Look forward to going back again next week.

*advance warning: gush alert*


I just want to endorse what everyone else has said about this place. It is absolutely terrific and I urge people to visit and try it before word gets about and they are deservedly packed to the rafters. Dropped in today for a late, hot breakfast and a double espresso and ended up having three of the latter, at only ?1.50 a go. The blackboard was full of tempting stuff - had I not been alone I'd have been sorely tempted to have a whole baked camembert with honey and thyme and pitta (for 2). The soups looked wonderful (roasted coconut squash?!) as did all the breads..


The clientele was interesting. It is refreshingly unchandelieresque. As well as a (insert suitable collective noun here) of young/youngish mothers with assorted small/tiny children (I counted at least hafl a dozen high chairs) there were a couple of members of HM Constabulary in full uniform enjoying their "refs" by a window: so probably not a good place either to score drugs or mug anyone then...


And the staff smile and are helpful. It is going to be a great place to go next summer (if we get a summer) to sit out and enjoy the view and eat and drink without inhaling exhaust fumes.


There's a certain irony I think that this cafe would fit so well into Dulwich Park, whereas the one actually there is so unlovely...

I was there with Scruffy Daddy for lunch and agree how lovely it was! Can highly recommend the gooey chocolate cake which is simply divine - I'm surprised the homemade cakes aren't made more of as they are a bit hidden on the back counter - maybe have a 'cake of the day' featured on the front counter alongside the small display of the fairy cakes/muffin things?? I love cake and can't wait to have a slice of choc cake with ice cream in the summer - yum! (I only wish I was still breastfeeding and could eat cake everyday without worrying about the pounds piling on!

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      If you like very good quality South Asian food then Babur in Brockley is offering a well priced, for what it is, Christmas day menu with sensitively priced reductions for a more limited children's menu. They also have a compelling wine list and their specialist cocktails are phenomenal. Not traditional Christmas fare, but then that might be an additional recommendation.

      Is anyone pregnant and due this winter?

      By Elelel123 · Posted

      Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor

      Wanted - table top ironing board

      By Sue · Posted

      I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?
