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.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
