Sergio the previous owner closed it down after years of battling with Dulwich Estates and the increase in other coffee shops in the Village - basically too much supply and not enough demand. He worked very hard to make that place work but in the end it was not worth it.


Stefano is the new owner and has refurbished the place with better seating inside

Yes feel very sorry for Serg, whilst his prices were high he was a great guy and top croissants. Dulwich Estates should be ashamed about allowing Romeo's, Cafe Rouge,Aucel Rocca and Gails to all come in against him whilst not supporting existing business and more importantly by not trying to add value to the village, i.e. butchers (one who applied for Gails shop - but I believe was turned down by DE), allowing the closure of the petrol station etc., I've also heard the post office is to close as well due to high rents so expect to see another coffee shop! Im not against a free market, but this does mean that increasingly the village at weekends resembles Wimbledon Village where all and sundry travel in to eat at chains and the locals leave well alone.


That said, service is rubbish at the Dog and I don't think its been cleaned for years so good on DE for closing and developing that one.

    • By now you’ve hopefully seen that our main demonstration against Trump’s state visit is in London on Wednesday. Many of you have also asked, though, about how you can help ‘welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. So here’s the plan: We’re asking you to come and line Windsor High Street tomorrow in a peaceful, static protest.  Time: 6pm, Tue 16 Sept Location: Assemble outside Windsor Parish Church, High St, Windsor SL4 1LS and then spread out along the High Street. Grab some cardboard and a pen and make a homemade sign to show Donald Trump and his supporters what you think of them!  The world’s media will be in Windsor to cover the state visit, so showing visually that he is not welcome will send an important message far and wide. If you are coming then please join this Signal chat group for important updates.     Protest safety Please buddy up and come with someone else You have a right to peacefully demonstrate, but we are expecting a high police presence. Remain non-violent and non-confrontational, and do not talk to the police. It may be better to dress inconspicuously, not like an ‘activist’ We plan on ending at 7.30pm. Please leave in groups of 5–10 and make sure you have a bust card This action is entirely legal but we still recommend that you read this key advice when going on a protest to know your rights. Remember:  No comment No personal details Ask ‘under what power?’ No duty solicitor Don’t accept a caution Here is the protest support line: 07946 541 511 and here is more information on Stop & Search under the Public Order Act.   Thank you for being part of the movement against Trump. In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
    • We booked a day when we could drop around 8 bags. They directed us to use the rear entrance on Carver Rd. I would definitely ring as they don’t seem to have much space at the back. Our experience was great, they were very polite and thankful.
