So do you know what is going to happen to the old cafe?


I have to admit, I assumed the move was to get a bigger space to expand, not because the owner of the old site wanted them out. The French Cafe was often full and the new one is larger.

They've only just opened so have yet to have the name painted on the front of the shop.

I just had an ice crea from here and was bowled over. I had tried Oddone's and did not like their ice cream I found them oily. However the scoops I had today from Fabulous etc....were marvellous. Pistachio and almond were both as good as I had tasted and their own marscarpone with ground cardamom on top was great. There were 3 scoops for ?2.50 but I think this is an opening offer.
sounds fantastic - anyone know if they have a website or anywhere that lists ingredients? - would love to know if they have dairy and soy free options. The sorbet's in Oddono's are technically fine but contain trans fats so I avoid them, would be keen to find an alternative!

They're way too cool for a website. This is not a "shop". This is a blisteringly bright white space ship descended on the salivating gelatophiles of East Dulwich. They do not "make" ice creams and sorbets. They orchestrate, meld, and tease their gorgeous magic into colourful unctuousness that toys with your tastebuds. It's something wonderful.


I chucked their flyer but this gives you a taste of their exotic branding. Don't get me wrong. Their gelati are an absolute delight, the lemon sorbet so (naturally) acid it almost hurts, the pistachio the nuttiest I've ever tasted.

Oh, and I've only recently discovered Oddono's and I have to say - it's paradise. Reminds of a trip to Italy many years ago when I would eat ice cream three times a day, it was so good. Hope I don't end up going to Oddono's three times a day, or even a week, or these ice creams will start showing round my waist!!

BTW, so far the hazelnut flavor is my favourite - real nuts inside!

    • Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...
    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?
