My advice to them is to buy one of these to put on top of the cakes & sandwiches:

I say this because I went in there one sunny day only to find a blue bottle buzzing around the cakes and sandwiches and he landed on a hummus sandwich and was walking all over it.


I also think they could improve their soft drink menu. Maybe start stocking that Whole Earth Organic Range, like the lemonade etc. I love them, but maybe that's just me. I would like to see them do well.

They have a new menu now including a Finnish breakfast, French breakfast and a German breakfast. They have started to do chilled soups; so far a pea and mint one and a gorgeous tomato with a tabasco kick. Lovely paninni rolls with sesame seeds on topping which aren't dry like some of them often are. Great Monmouth coffee. Think it is quite quiet now cos of holiday period so a good time to go in. Quite often sold out of things by mid afternoon. Can take everything away too.
I can recommend the german breakfast: croissant, baguette, ham, cheese, oj and coffee. I needn't have ordered anything else for me and my two smalls this morning. But I did, as I'm piggy. The finnish looked lovely too. (The breakfast. Although I'm sure if I were that way inclined I'd say the same about the staff.)
Recognising strange British tastes they also do a great Marmite & Toast option which with double coffee is > ?3.00. Good value, tho' I did see my GP from Forest Hill surgery call in as I was slathering butter and marmite onto the toast - may get cholestrol telling off next time I visit GP.

Good call. There's plenty of space out the front for that, just look at Si Mangia which is now packed out front on a sunny summer's evening. Be mad not to.

I visit this little gaff every day as I'm so thrilled it's on my doorstep. I hope they expand outside like Si Mangia.

(and more plants/flowers outside as well might be nice)

But I s'pose it's early days for the business yet, and dispite the fact that they are always busy, maybe they don't want to count their chickens yet.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
