moak Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Can anyone tell me the best place to get a slice of cake please? My usual cafe of choice has gone downhill. Drastically! My cake of choice is chocolate or a coffee and walnut! All suggestions gratefully received. Am about to go on maternity leave! Thanks 😉 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/161517-best-place-for-cake/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabag Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Franklins farm shop. Just inside on the left, there's often a delicious chocolate Guinness cake in there.Or Cafe Jade. For a more earnest bun type cake try Brickhoues or go around the corner to Blackbird.In Forest Hill try Canvas & Cream or Aga's Deli on Dartmouth rd.

By all means have a chat about Nunhead Cemetary and all the green space but perhaps be aware that there is queue forming.

Seabag Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 It is a bit slow in Alexander NBut I do like the Nunhead Nursery and it's also very gay. And the gay guys that run it are really into the gardening scene. So lots of attention to detail and great plants.I have to take my van everytime my other half goes there, as she seems to buy as much stuff as she can muster.No cake tho, not a crumb. But a cafe there or nearby would do a killing on the weekends.On a cake tip I did go to the Herne Hill (sunday) Market today, much cakeage going on there. I refrained, but was tempted.

sylviamaria Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Arlo and Mo in Honor Oak or Hither Green do excellent cakes (chocolate guiness cake). As for vegan, you can go to Catfood Cakes, also in Honor Oak. Their shop is open on Saturdays to the public.
