Can anyone tell me more about this place oppo The Mag? I've never been in because there has always been some dodgy looks blokes hanging about outside everytime I've been round. But walked passed today and had a peep through the door and the guy was outside setting up the tables and chairs. Look really lovely in there! Any info on the place.....?

Possibly me, I'm frequently loitering there!


Wot Sean said plus best cafe in ED IMO. Also sells a select range of eggs, fruit and veg and a few deli items. There's a tiny little courtyard out back, free wi-fi and papers, but opening times can be a little inconsistent (Possibly related to Chelsea's fortunes).

I always really want to like Jack's as I think it's a sweet little place but every time I've gone they've messed up my order somehow which makes me sad because when I get the food it's always good and in theory it's such a good place but in practice it's a pain to always be sorting out mistakes when I just want my breakfast and coffee

Thoroughly recommend Jack's, one of East Dulwich's hidden gems. Child friendly (room at the back)....Jesus it's not going to be the best kept secret now is it! now that you've gone and blown it's cover to the hoards of yummies in ED!!!!

I find that it is a quality cafe as they offer srambled eggs and smoked salmon, and other exotic dishes if they haven't sold out of what you want off the board.


Sometimes they are closed when you call but I do think it is up there with the best of them and adds quality to ED life.

Lovely food and vibe. All their coffee is fair trade and they're really friendly.


I'm in East Dulwich Writers' Group and we do meet up there for our regular coffee chats, though not weekly.


Now I want to know who Sandperson is and how you recognised that the dodgy lot huddled in the back room are part of EDWG ... (?)

Jack is James' son - James is a lovely bloke


food is great, service is slow but intensely pleasant - the only thing I hate is when people speak in really loud, I'm the only person in the room, voices in there. Because it's a sanctuary and quite small - sotto voices only please.

Louisa, true, it's not a greasy spoon full of builders, but you shouldn't knock it because of that. It's a good and honest cafe that offers an alternative to bacon, egg and chips and is run by somebody who really cares about his business. All sorts frequent the place. I recommend you try it. You might just enjoy it.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
