[motherash]

hi everyone

we are opening a new blackbird bakery shop in grove vale (on the parade just before the train station), Some of you may already know us from our other shops in Herne Hill and Crystal Palace or from our market stall on Fri and sat in Northcross road.

We will be open from Mondays -sat 7am-7pm, selling our fresh hand made bread,crossiants, cakes, sandwiches, muffins, granola,coffees and juices etc..

Opening day this Sat 10th May and it wil be lovely to see you there.

many thanks.

great news! really pleased to hear this. will pop in on saturday for sure. good luck with it

[Ladygooner]

Will pop in when I come to collect my dry cleaning on Sat from Alpines - are you next door to them?

[david_carnell]

Ooh, good stuff.

Given the rising price of bread and the newly opening bakers opposite William Rose and the current bakers opposite Green and Blue I'll be intrigued by any price undercutting going on. Oh, and the bread from the ED Deli. Choice, choice, choice.

Love your bread from the stall on Northcross Road so best of luck.

[Moos]

The stall is fantastic, good luck with the bakery.

[SimonM]

This is excellent news! Look forward to calling in often

[Nero]

Isn't there going to be a new bakery next to Moxon's? I can feel a collective ED gluten intolerance coming on.

[SimonM]

Actually, how many of the "bakeries" in ED are/will be "bread shops"? Do any have a bakery somewhere on the premises, as Kindred does in Herne Hill?

[Moos]

Nero, don't be the dough in the leaven...

[scotslass]

Excellent news - esp. for this end of ED. Good luck:))

[Jeremy]

Is the Northcross road stall the one that sells cakes and quiches and stuff?

[SteveT]

Baking on the premises is no guarantee for good bread, I never liked the kindred mix, it all seemed too insubstantial.

[charlottekb]

Wicked! I was wondering what would go there. Its about time some new businesses came to this part of ED. Good luck and welcome.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I shall pop in. It is the yeast that I can do....

... Dough !!

[EDL]

Sounds great but I'm with Nero. Five posh bread/cake type shops in ED:

East Dulwich Deli

Green & Blue (stocks Luca's bread)

Luca's (to open soon - in the old chicken shop?)

La Chandelier (sells bread and stuff take away too)

Blackbird bakery

Plus the other bakery on the corner (opposite moo moo), not to mention cheese block, etc etc.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE carbs and frankly I will be popping into Blackbird of an evening because of the 7pm closing time! Yeeha.

[jimbo1964]

Maybe one of these fine bakers would start a morning bread delivery service?

[marge]

Ah, but the coffee will be the telling point for me, especially en route to the station! How much for a medium cappucino? Dare you to undercut the chains, motherash...

[SimonM]

Blackbird sells fine bread-making flour in 2.5K sacks...

As for Kindred, it's all doqn to personal taste I suppose. On any day but Saturday they have the best baguettes (available too at Romeo Jones) and their crusty white loaves are gorgeous...

(On Saturdays the baguettes in Mootown in the EDW still rool!)

[TJS]

Great news, and i am really glad for Grove Vale!!!!

[Louisa]

About time Grove Vale started benefitting from the ED "gentrification" process, equally, it cant be called a bakers if it doesnt bake it on the premesis. One thing about Ayres of Nunhead (despite what the snobs on here think#) it is a true bakers and although quality has slipped in recent years, it still remains by far the best bakers locally.

[ASR]

Great, sounds good. Its exactly what the area needs. I shall definitely pop in.

[SimonM]

Popped in. Bought some of their gorgeous small savour flans as well as a bag of flour. Also looks a great alternative to St*rF*cks when staggering back from Sainsburys in desperate need of an espresso...

[mikese22]

Actually it can be called 'a bakers' - Collins English Dictionary:

baker n a person who makes or sells bread, cakes, etc

bakery n, pl -eries a place where bread, cakes etc are made or sold

went in this morning and gave their espresso a go. And it was very strong and delicious! Congrats. When I'm not watching what I'm eating, I'll be sure to buy those lovely looking flans ...... yum.

[Near-The-Station]

This what Grove Vale needs - I hope it continues!

Best of luck Black bird bakery
