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.

    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country. 
    • why not have a pasty shop - we could have Cornish pasties, Jamaican patties, empanadas from all the different regions.... I like all three.  I'm still going to support the Chacarero family business, as I don't support chains, just as I don't buy anything from Gail's, Nero, Starbucks etc.
    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
