Rye cafe-new management

Recommended Posts

Apologies if there is a thread already, but for the first time in a couple of weeks I went to this place to find it rebranded and with a very much reduced menu, with prices on the high side.


Anyone else?


I used to have a lovely soya latte here and not only are the cups smaller, the prices higher, they really didn't know how to make it! Twice I received a rather foul (scummy) coffee...

I went into the Dulwich Park cafe earlier this week - the coffee was decent, but yes it had gone up (2.20? to 2.50). early days I guess but it looked very very bare compared to the old one. Noticed the breakfasts on the board were quite expensive too. However, if they can get through the queues more quickly than the old cafe on a weekend, it would be worth it.
I went a couple of days ago and unless they get some healthier snacks I can offer my kids I will have to stop coming. All super sugary cakes/ cookies. In fact the cookie I had was dry. I agree cups were small. Also very sad at the loss of books. It's gone from being a very child friendly place to stop in while taking the kids to the park to being (at the moment) unsuitable for us. If the management are reading this please can you offer some healthy snacks and meals?

They gave you mouldy jam but didn't give you your money back???


That's terrible!

Very true that the food prices are too high (though the old ones had had a hike as well recently), and they need some healthier kids snacks but oh... they know how to make coffee! So I can forgive them all the rest. The old stuff was just overheated mud IMHO, so I'm happy.

    • What's probably happened here is an assignment of Poundland's lease. This means that Tesco would purchase the remaining terms of Poundland's lease from Poundland. It could be contingent on the council approving the plans for the signage change and ATM. The landlord would be happy because then a stronger tenant moves into their space. Poundland gets a bit of cash in the form of a premium. Tesco gets a fully baked lease to take over.  Companies don't submit these plans unless it was going to happen. It takes time and money to draw up these plans, and if you review them you'll see the drawings of the frontage are clearly 29-35 Lordship Lane. Meaning someone had surveyed the space and drawn up plans based on the specific property. 
    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
