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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
