I tried here this week.


I think it depends what you mean by 'good coffee'. The best coffee I've found nearby (roughly in order) have been at:


1. Browns of Brockley

2. General Store, Bellenden Rd

3. Cafe Viva near Peckham Rye station

4. Dish and Spoon - on a good day.


I know St David's in Forest Hill is supposed to do good coffee but I've never tried it.


But the point is, by those standards I've yet to find a really decent coffee in East Dulwich (yet).


The cafe looked nice enough otherwise...

St. David's has absolutely fantastic coffee and some really great food too. I've found Homemade on Barry Road (very close to the Rye) has good coffee too (and delish brownies).


"From the Forest" across from FH station also had good coffee. Further afield, in Honor Oak you get great coffee (and cupcakes) at Nandi Nandi - Moira and the team are also lovely people. Arlo & Moe near Crofton Park station also has good coffee and eats.


I like my coffee :)

We went there today for a quick coffee and ended up staying for two! Coffee (latte) was lovely - hot(in so many cafes they serve it tepid) and strong. Croissants were fresh, flaky and not dry and we had a lovely fresh orange, ginger and carrot juice. Service was friendly and the prices reasonable. There were some lovely sounding sandwiches on the menu so will definitely be returning to sample one. Definitely recommend.

Went today for brunch. Really liked it.


I had poached eggs on muffins with spinach, wasn't sure what to expect but it was really well put together. Coffee was good I thought, my partner had a mocha which she said could have been more chocolatety but was strong enough at least. Service really good.


They didn't have a veggie version of the full breakfast would be my only criticism.

I'm a big fan of the Aneto cafe. It opens early (around 7.30am on weekdays) which is a big plus, and has free wifi. The menu is great, lots of healthy options, and always nicely cooked and presented. I think they have very cleverly filled a gap in the market.


Personally I think it's reasonable to ask people with dogs to sit in the very nice outside area.

Had yummy takeaway cakes from aneto before, but this weekend finally got my arse over there for breakfast and it was fab... I had poached eggs with spinach, but others had bacon sarnie, full English and a couple of the specials and everyone agreed it was lovely. Staff are v v friendly and we had to kids in tow, who they were v good about. Pls support this new local venture :)

Went to Aneto for the first time today. I LOVED it - delicious coffee, lovely eggs and smoked salmon (and a fab veggie breakfast for my friend - not on the menu but they were happy to make anything he wanted). Also, perfect carrot cake. Very reasonably priced and extremely nice, attentive staff. Can't wait to go back.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
