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.

    • Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.
    • Sue. It's a long journey trying to change the long established mindset that many of us grew up with, namely cultivated flowers are good and wild flowers anywhere other than in the wild are bad. My job as a child was to go round pulling up all the dandelions that dared to invade my Dad's pride and joy of a garden. I still battle with my Mum, trying in vain to convince her of the benefits of so called weeds in her garden. Her neighbours, all of a certain age, are the same. Anyone who doesn't attack any weed with gusto is the subject of Mum's disapproving neighbours. We can only keep trying to convince others of the benefits of these much maligned flowers.  
    • You might leave copies of this post on the windscreens of any cars that you think may have been issued with parking tickets before you saw the suspension notices being put up.  Include some contact details -- at least your forum username -- so that the owners can contact you if they wish to dispute the tickets on the ground of unlawfulness. Eventual feedback here -- presumably this would be evidence of a cancellation of any such tickets  -- would be very welcome.  
    • I've got more problems with people paving over their gardens, plastic grass and the like.  Perhaps see what Southwark say on line about managing their pavements.
