Activity in old William Rose shop on EDG ?

[ed_pete]

I see there are signs of activity in the old William Rose shop on East Dulwich Grove.

Anyone heard what is going on, has it been let ?

Having looked at its layout i'd guess its a chip shop. The clothes shop that closed down on Melbourne Grove is now being refurb'd and also looks like a chip shop!! I may be wrong but that's my guess

Looks to me like sandwiches, snacks, coffee etc. There's a coffee machine installed and I saw a sign (which hadn't been put up) listing sandwiches. Will snoop some more...

EDG: A coffee bar where the tiles have been painted over in black and white.

MG. Callow's new premises. Almost ready to open.

Gutted there will be no chip shop.

If a coffee shop then perhaps this is in anticipation of the new Harris Primary School that I think is planned for the old hosptial site behind the blue hoarding opposite.

Indeed it is! I spoke to the new owners a few weeks ago.

More and more coffee shops opening in the area, surely a positive thing?

The clothes shop that closed down on Melbourne Grove is now a Locksmiths which relocated from Lordship Lane.

Coffee shop, first thing that I noticed was the wonderful coffee machine, they are quite expensive. I was really worried that it would be another purveyor of saturated and trans fats but a nice sandwich shop/ cafe is great IMHO. I had a little chat and hopefully next year the garden area will be open again.

WHY. ???

I have seen many posts on EDF with people asking where they can buy certain items locally.

Do not see many posts asking where someone can buy a cup of coffee.

Reached Saturation Point.

Loads of laptops - do people work from there ??

People don't ask but they do go & pay.

The coffee shop's called Piece Of Cake Cafe. Looks like it's nearly ready to open.
