I went in last week, thinking it was a cafe and hoping I might find a birthday card in there (yes, I know, but sometimes cafes do sell such things). I found the card, and the cafe, but also lots of children at the workshop space at the back, playing and/or being instructed in something or other. The woman who seemed to be in charge was very helpful and found me a - very nice - birthday card and chatted about the concept, which is very firmly aimed at parents with young children. I got the impression it was well run, already popular and stylish, so good luck to it.

Well I assume it's not aimed at you, edcam.


It's actually a great idea. If you have a baby or young child, it's nice to have somewhere to go where you feel welcome rather than a nuisance. And a place that the children might actually enjoy, too.


Menu is apparently rather limited, but I think people are prepared to overlook that for the above reasons.

I've been in half a dozen times and think it's great. The staff are all lovely and make a fuss of my daughter - the set-up is very child-friendly with buggy space and a play area at the back. I'm a big fan of lots of the cafes in the area but this one is my current favourite because, as Jeremy suggests, it's nice to go somewhere where toddlers are not only welcome but also encouraged. And on the days when I'm not with my daughter, I can perhaps have a quieter coffee at one of the other local places!

Went yesterday - will definitely go again, yummy hot chocolate, daughter got to play with some toys and I got to eye up the pastries which I'll have to sample next time! A friend has so many of these "kid cafes" near her I'm glad we have finally got one. For those who think it's a horror idea, easy, don't go.... ;o)

Finally made it to Trio and loved it! The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. I was finally able to put the 9 months old somewhere to crawl and play (I carry her everywhere, so going for coffee can be a tussle), and the lovely wooden toys also engaged the three year old. Highly recommended.

I think it sounds like a smart idea. There's nothing really round here cafe wise that is specifically targeted at babies and kids. The more of these there are the less babies you're going to find in pubs. In fact it's the retail business I would open locally if I ever did that.

I can heartily recommend the cheese and ham croissant. I know it doesn't sound revolutionary, but boy it's super delicious. There's a photo on my blog below but it really doesn't do it justice. I've been craving it, big time.

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?

      Recommendation for a decorator in Dulwich/Peckham/Nunhead - Kam 07949 507412

      By Charlie15 · Posted

      Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By TittyMaster · Posted

      What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
