Mouse Tail Coffee

[Louisa]

Been told they have a place in Peckham, heard brilliant reviews of their coffee from people who've been to the one in Canary Wharf. Can anyone tell me where they are in Peckham? I really want to try.

They have a mission statement on their site.

Hipster lice.

[El Pibe]

They have a mission to ignore the fundamentals of good website design that's for sure.

[intexasatthe moment]

They're at the end of Rye Lane where the T junction west/left to Camberwell and right/east to New Cross in that canopied bit ( Peckham Square ? ) with the library behind and Peckham High St in front .

Very breezy spot ,nice on the hottest day ,otherwise wear something warm .

Worse - the have a 'philosophy' as well.

Run away.

[El Pibe]

actually they're pretty good at mangling english too, those missions and philophies don't actually make much sense. If you can find them by clicking on the unrelated pictures rather than the words of course.

Crap website. Hope the coffee tastes better. No price list. I'm not paying more than ?1.50 for a coffee, even if the beans have been nurtured by doting angels in the amazon rainforest.

TopTip

get normal coffee beans from your local supermarket and force feed them to the mewling emaciated starving moggies imprisioned in your shed of cats. hey presto - expensive "civet cat" indonesian style coffee at happy shopper prices

[Louisa]

Good thinking vgrant. Or I could buy some Nescaf? from Iceland, I'm usually half drunk anyway so I probably won't notice the difference.

which is more or less how it's produced anyway.

As long as it's proper Nescaf? - powdered not granules and in little tins not jars.

Perfect with cheese on toast.

Does anywhere round here sell coffee for less than ?2 a cup now?

[vgrant]

Grove tavern/Cherry tree is hawking itself at ?1 a cup to bleary eyed commuters in the mornings now. They have even placed a sign in front of the Caff next door (closed for summer hols) advertising their beverages and succulent breakfast menu. cheeky

then again, GV is a hive of cheekiness, wot wiv argueably bogus charity shops appearing without any kind of shame

Oh please

No 'concept' tho ?

If theyve got hand pulled espresso forgive the hype

[Horsebox]

Their coffee is really quite good and the 2 guys and 1 girl (Marcus and his Gf or wife and another chap Yan; all Estonian, which may explain the mangled English)that own and run it are very friendly and genuinely into coffee. They also sell delicious homemade muffins, (which I ate a few of last summer before changing my regular route to work)

It's very easy to lazily troll and denounce them as 'hipster lice' but perhaps save it until you've met them and tried what they're offering? What do you say, Snorky?

[El Pibe]

I'm sure they're lovely, you might want to suggest they get a friend to proof it for them though!

I stand by my unsubstantiated and utterly baseless off the cuff conclusion

I can wholly respect that.

This explains alot.

[ultraburner]

I had an espresso from them a few weeks ago that was truly amazing. As said before you'll find them down the library end of rye lane parked up just in front of it.

[mancity68]

Lovely people and lovely coffee. ?2.40 for any type of espresso coffee with milk.

[KrackersMaracas]

Here's the price list: http://www.mousetailcoffee.com/home/basics/coffee-stories/menu/menu

[northlondoner]

They have expanded their toolbox, according to the unfortunate website.

They're at a stall, right?

If so, the coffee is actually really good (had one then had to turn right back round to get another).

Good luck to them.

But they need to get their money back from whoever designed that website.
