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.

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
