New toddler friendly cafe

[RhubarbGarden]

In the light of recent discussion about the loss of toddler friendly areas in cafes in ED, I thought I would share a tip about a new cafe/deli I discovered on Denmark Hill today. Ok not really East Dulwich, but I know many Camberwellians also read this forum.

It's called De Bonne Intention, no.55 Denmark Hill (opposite Nandos), and sells the usual upmarket pasta packets, fancy teabags etc at the front of the shop and has a few tables at the back. It isn't large but the lady who owns it is very keen to attract mums and babies and toddlers; she has a toddler herself so understandS what it's like. They are planning to start doing beauty treatments from Feb when they've finished renovating a downstairs room, and there will be space to park babies there while you are getting a treatment. Best of all (from my own point of view!) is there is also a back room like there was at the Gardens Cafe, which is currently being painted and will imminently have tables in, and the owner is collecting a basket of toys so toddlers can run around in there. I think this will be a useful addition to the local area!
