Ah Bon3yard, don't worry. They'll get what's coming to them when you conquer the world selling your homemade pies (which I'm very much looking forward to trying next week!) ;-)


Edited to add that I'm very much looking forward to trying out the new cafe, it'll be the closest to where I live - good luck to them!

Went in this morning for a doupio espresso and was pleased with the thick tar-like liquid that was brought over. Love the tables and chairs. Had a chat with the owner and she seemed to think it was going well. Still a bit of an empty feel in there, but as time mkaes it feel more homely I think it will improve. (I have to say that the only think I don't like is the horrid front door!)

Mrs clive3300 heard a customer have a go at them because the quite delicious ice creams were hideously expensive at ?2.

  • 2 weeks later...

Ice cream is ?1.50 a single scoop, ?2.25 for two scoops, and it is gorgeous. For ?1.50 you can get a single scoop with a flake from a van in Dulwich Park (up 25% since last year).


Double espresso at ?1.40 is terrific value.


I have now gorged myself on all three of the cakes on the menu and will be back for more


Ditto the smoked bacon, somerset Brie & cranberry sauce in a rustic baguette


Sorry I know I am getting boring now....>:D<

It opens at 9am on weekends, there's no outside area outback.

not bad! small menu, nice coffee, staff friendly. Not kidded up to the nines. gr8 for us. we can choose between creche life or quiet life in peckrye/forest hill road. Swingin' up here now. Its a bit meaty is my only diss. Small bother. Theres a few things to eat but mainly its a coffee joint anyhow.Coffee and cake. yum.

9am till 6 on Saturday and 9am till 4pm on Sunday apparently.


Lovely pain au raisin and coffee this morning.


They could expand their breakfast menu to do eggs etc, but they've only been open a few weeks and I guess that they will expand the menu at some point


Nice atmosphere.


Loads of French folk brunching, has ED become the new French hot-spot??

I think it is nice in there - the coffee is lovely and the whole cafe is pretty calm and clean. Think there is something of a weird clinical atmosphere though - or maybe that was my hangover kicking as I felt pretty rancid compared to all the clean, lovely looking families in there!

This place never ceases to amaze me. Went there today and asked for a double espresso, croissant butter and jam. I was expecting the usual foil/plastic-wrapped mini-portions. Instead whatw as brought out was a butter dish with almost 250gms of butter on it, and a Kilner jar with home-made jam: both butter and jam were left on the table. Total cost was ?2.65. I swear this must be the best value, best quality continental breakfast in London and probably much of Paris too! Surely they will have to put the prices up soon?! A fine rustic baguette to take away was only ?1.25...


Oh and I did not mention the glass of iced-water you get brought automatically which is, of course free.


And the cafe now has Wireless Internet....


And no I have no financial interest whatsoever in this place!

I visited again yesterday with Mr Pickle and baby Pickles in tow (don't worry, older baby was very well behaved and tiny baby asleep!) - once again a really nice experience. I'm addicted to the chocolate brownies, and the hot chocolate was lovely too. Mr Pickle tried the gooey chocolate cake, very nice!


Highly recommended to anyone who still hasn't tried it out.

    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath.
