Nero Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 It looks good! Thanks for the pic; I'd never've imagined it looking like that. And nearer to me than Dulwich Park's caff. Nero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodliz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 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.

macroban Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I just had to find out about powerpramming.Thankfully it's not about how to obstruct pedestrians in Lordship Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonM Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 *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...

Nero Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Agreed. Went today. But there is bad graffiti around it on the 1 0' Clock Club properties that could be easily painted over. Any friends of PRP have an 'in' there? If not, I'll mention it. Nero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorky Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Did the Coppers pay for their food - or is that long standing ED tradition now dead on its feet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I thought it was a Met. tradition not just an ED one? But to be honest I don't know....but - haha - I am *sure* they paid in full.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorky Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 YOu could be right.the ED specific copper tradition was "liberating" drugs from wholsealers and selling them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinity Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Went there for lunch with my little one in tow. Lovely place with good food and brilliant view across the Rye. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful. I noted that its also open on Sundays so perfect for a post Sunday walk snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy Mummy Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
