Best coffee on Lordship Lane?

Agree with Toasted (although not in the same class as St David, General Store, Anderson etc). Had a take away from Franklins at the weekend which was actually decent and very close to ESPH.


It's a shame as there's so many awesome coffee places in London now, yet none on LL!

Quite agree adsyb99 there is definitely a lack on LL.


For my money there is a big triangle, from the cafe at South London Gallery, Mousetail van at Peckham square, to Browns at Brockley (is that a triangle?! Isosceles maybe) which completely avoids ED, sadly. Oh, and the Dish and Spoon's coffee is pretty good too.


But hearing you all, will give Toast a go...

KikiMac, this has always bothered me too!


The places you mentioned all serve fantastic coffee, but for whatever reason, no where that comes close to these in ED.


Toasted is definitely drinkable, but I've noticed a big variance in quality depending on who makes the coffee. Always friend in there though.

I'd agree with others that Toasted is by far the best in ED. It does, as always, depend on the barrister - Leo makes excellent coffee.


Franklins is quite good (again depending on who makes it) and uses Volcano beans.


Outside of that I travel out of ED to Arlo & Moe (Crofton Park), Anderson & Co (Bellenden Road), Caf? Viva (Choumert Road), Browns (Brockley) or Bambuni (Evelina Road).


The London's Best Coffee app is usually a pretty good guide.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
