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.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
