lozzyloz Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Sorry Sean didn't mean to freak you out (bad habit of mine)! I've never knowingly met you, have no idea who you are but I think I read some time ago on the EDF where you mentioned said road that you live on.

Bellenden Jo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Not open yet, still being fitted out by the look of things through the window.

Bellenden Belle Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 It was open on Sunday... I went in there and things were definitely happening.I am going to reserve judgement as it was a very quick visit but I would have loved to have seen some cheeses olives and nibbles in their cold counter, but instead they seem rather geared up towards takeaway sandwiches. A curious approach as it is predominantly a residential area and they are competing with cafes like Petitou and Lucis and Richards lunch menus. But I wish them well and I am sure I will use it for last minute veg.

DanbyGirl Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yes it was a little bit disappointing, really, but I don't think they were quite ready ? it was less a deli than a collection of sandwich fillings in old ice cream tubs and a pile of unopened cardboard boxes. I think it will get better, though, as the couple seemed really nice and really keen to please. I think they just need a bit more stock ? and a bit more time.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Popped in this evening. V. v. sweet people running it. Some curios in the way of fairtrade stuff and persian rose petal pot pourri (slight exagerration for alliterative effect). Some good, tasteful flowers (? - ? as in why in a deli?). The rest wasn't particularly exciting except for some rather yummy looking chocolate brownies.Nothing offensive however - God bless 'em and all who sail in 'em.

Chao Long Huyet Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 We are hoping to get our Vietnamese Coffee shop at 155 Bellenden rd open soon - still being delayed by solicitors at the moment.We have been a great success this summer at Hackney's Broadway Market where we do our regular Saturday Saigon Street Cafe, so are looking forward to regular trading in Bellenden, when we will open London's first genuine Vietnamese coffee shop !Look forward to seeing you eventuallyhttp://www.caphevn.co.uk Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1273-new-organic-fairtrade-shop-on-bellenden-road/page/2/#findComment-41732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Popped in tonight - very nice man serving, with loads of interesting produce. Business apparently is good, with lots of comments about local support - and the EDF...He showed us the space in the back which is going to be a cafe, and also told us about the shop across the road is going to be a beauty treatment place. Lots of shops along Bellenden Road are apparently being filled Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1273-new-organic-fairtrade-shop-on-bellenden-road/page/2/#findComment-43596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
