New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[LondonMix]

I think 2020 is soon for the development of a major shopping mall.

Banh Banh Peckham Rye gets full page write up and 4 stars in today's Evening Standard's Homes and Property.

New juice bar on corner of dunstans riad/peckham rye has opened. Juice &coffee ?1.50 (reduced cost for opening), looks very nice.

Potager - the one mentioned in the above post - looks like it should be completely finished soon and is a welcome addition.

It is a pity that the cafe near to it doesn't do anything to clean up its vandalised front. I think Renata Hamvas has told the owners about the council's free graffiti removal service, so it is strange that it should be left like that.

Wonder what the boarded up ex-dentist's between the two will be?

The MeatLiquor will be located in the new Boxpark next to East croydon station (ruskin square). Boxpark croydon is due to open in 2016- it was anticipated for summer 2016...

[Baggs]

Yep - due to open 'Summer' that is looking optimistic, and BoxPark currently floating September...

New restaurant opening in ED called "Spinach" it appears according this ad for a job I noticed while looking for one myself.... not sure where. and can't seem to find a mention during a google search.

Interesting, I wonder where that is?

[Jeremy]

Looks like the idea behind "Spinach" is veg-centric dishes, a la Grain Store.

Also those of you who use Deliveroo will have noticed two new options... "Tommi's Burger Joint" and "Yoobi", both from the same address on Melbourne Grove (maybe the old 'Scoop' ice cream shop?)

[LondonMix]

I don't think they are physical shops-- tried to go to Yoobi for sushi last Sunday and the address is actually the deliveroo depot. I think they may be bringing it in from central London as there is Yoobi in Soho. I'm not sure where Tommi's is...

[Jeremy]

I suspect it is a local takeaway kitchen which has some sort of "franchise" agreement to cook food bearing the Tommi's/Yoobi name (Tommi's is a burger place with branches in Chelsea and Marylebone)

[thombe]

we tried yoobi last saturday and thought it wasn't bad though.

[LondonMix]

Yeah, its good. I liked it

[Jeremy]

We got Tommi's burgers the other day... OK, but nowhere near as good as HB or P&B...

Does anyone know what is opening in the empty shop next to Sweaty Betty? thank you

Re: Yoobi and Tommi Burger on Deliveroo...

It would appear that Deliveroo themselves are taking on commercial properties and building out kitchens (i.e. the space they have off Melbourne Grove).

They are then subleasing these to restaurants they have on their books to test the water in areas they can't service.

[LondonMix]

So you think these business are thinking of opening in the area?

[sheff]

I think the main reason is that in order to expand to new postcodes Deliveroo needs a volume of restaurants to make it worthwhile. If they are struggling to get sign ups from restaurants, SE27 being an example, then they will try this approach.

In the case of SE22 I think they believe that they need more restaurants to give customers more choice and more reason to keep coming back to the service.

Anyone know what's going on the old melange chocolate shop on bellenden rd - fit out looks nearly finished?

[DulwichFox]

It's actually hidden away at 2 Maxted Road for anyone trying to locate the place..

There was a guy taking pictures of the outside yester day afternoon but still some work in progress.

Website is nice.. Sadly due to dietary restrictions out of bounds for me... :(

Yep, the new Melange site is on Maxted Rd, but I think 'gebbjane' was wondering what was happening with the old site...

At Louisa's request I am posting that Firezza is opening up on Lordship Lane. They have put in a planning application for the old Cafe Noodle site.
