Best Breakfast in East Dulwich/Peckham?

[DuncanW]

As per the title, which establishment serves up the best brekko in the local area? Can be either traditional fare or something slightly more exotic...

I rarely eat breakfast out, but am planning to tomorrow and am not really sure where to go.

I like Madelina (used to be called Piece of Cake) on East Dulwich Grove

https://www.madelina.co.uk/.

Quiet, friendly staff, nice crockery, the coffee is hot and I can vouch for the eggs benedict. Possibly not the cheapest but the portions are a decent size.

The cafe at the Dulwich Picture Gallery is a nice spot on a sunny day but does get very busy.

I much prefer going out for breakfast than for lunch!

Franklin?s at the weekend.

Signoria - best coffee in the area too!

Petitou in Peckham has a nice vibe on sunday mornings. Get there first thing though, as it get busy after.

Blue Brick is great - veggie/vegan, with nice atmosphere and good amount of outside seating.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the blue mountain site offers when it reopens

Boy they used to do a good breakfast back in the day when Mel first opened it

[Rockets]

What is the old Blue Mountain site going to be - agree with you Blue Mountain used to be superb back in the day?!

Here?s a vote for the return of the original Blue Mountain. Never surpassed.

Best breakfast, brunch and lunch for me is Parkside cafe near the Herne. Proper greasy spoon, where they know what I want, make proper tea and plenty of change out of a tenner.

can't imagine why they would be putting up their prices monthly now?

[geh]

also, and more importantly Cauliflowear, why are you so vile?

[gabys1st]

greasy spoon on Bellenden RD..run by turks and even does avocados on toast. You can order from set menu or "build your own breakie... eg go for veggie sausage (s) and extra mushrooms if thats whar you want. Good prices, lots of choice - does takeaway which is very popular with workmen.

Also the bbest chips ever.

Luca's on North Cross Road. Excellent food, great friendly service. It's a real gem.

[gabys1st]

It'd come to me...then name of cafe I recom. above is The Crossways Cafe

[Nigello]

Yes, and Luca's often participates in the Amex rebate, where you spend at least fifteen quid in one go and get a fiver back on you account. (Other shops and businesses do this, such as Mons, so if you have an Amex you may find other small biz people in and around this area who are doing the promotion in June.)

Another vote for Parkside near the Herne Tavern .Spacious ,clean ,quiet .Friendly service ,good food and good price .

[philosophie]

My vote also goes to Blue Brick, although it's a tiny space and service can be slow (although v friendly!)

[FJDGoose]

Brekko?!

[tarafitness]

Noted, thanks!

Has to be The Crossroads Cafe on Bellenden Rd.

This is a traditional neighbourhood 'caff' - amazing breakfasts and lunches, generous portions, huge range of options and service is always with a huge smile. Fry ups are great, but they also do much more than that. Not one for those wanting an Oat Flat White and a Vegan Croissant, although Vegan/Vegetarians are well catered for.

It is such a shame there aren't more places like this is East Dulwich

[gabys1st]

haven't been for a while as still socialy issolating but remember that on menu was avocado on ciabati bread(?spell), is the bread vegan?

Do miss the cafewe used to at least twice a week at about 11.00 am for brunch. I have a severe tremor and my drinks always camewith a straw, and food wd have a spoon to make eating easier.

Re Amex - you need to register via your online account, I think, for that cashback offer. I hope Luca?s is participating again. The full brekky I had there was very good.

[Waseley]

Wowsy,Amex. I'll try that at the Hillside caf?, I expect all the builders use them. Although they may have only been taking cash last time I was there. Posted in good humour 😊
