I can't function without a great coffee in the morning. I'm not talking about the coffee flavoured luke warm beverages at Cafe Nero. Or the slightly burned beans and thin overheated milk from some other lordship cafes making coffee by pushing buttons. I'm talking about a Barista, a true artisan, a coffee nut after my own heart that I can count on every morning on my way to the tube.


I'm new to the area and hunting for an inspiring morning coffee takeaway en-route to East Dulwich Tube? If you're not already rolling your eyes at my coffee snobbery but share the same morning addiction - I'd love your recommendation. My employer, fellow commuters - in fact anyone that has to speak to me before 10am will thank you.

I found the Coffee at La Scala very bitter and strong...

I had a Flat White which despite the name was dark and resembled T?rk kahvesi.. the thick stong Turkish Coffee.


The Cappuccino I had at The Small White Elephant in Choumert Road Peckham was very good..


Staff at both places were very friendly and welcoming..

To be honest, not sure you'll find what you're looking for on LL. Brickhouse is usually pretty reliable and French House (not sure what time it's open) can be good too.


As mentioned previously if you're willing to venture slightly further afield, Old Spike in Peckham and St David's in Forest Hill are both excellent.

As a black coffee drinker, it's hard to find a decent cup. Volcano is pretty rough stuff and needs some milk to make it palatable.


Jades IMHO is the best black coffee in Dulwich.


By comparison I'm quite happy with a 99p filter from Pret. Beats most Americanos into a cocked hat.

By far best solution is (all from Amazon)


1. Buy Andrew James programmable chrome filter coffee maker with integrated grinder (currently ?79.99)


2. Buy Spiller and Tait Rainforest special blend beans (or their other mixes, to taste, but Rainforest is special)


3. Get a vacuum flask (vast array available at less than ?15)


4. Enjoy - much less effort than waiting in line and having to put up with a characterless drink.

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
