That is not at all true.. True Tea (Cay) is drunk by locals ..


Turkish Coffee T?rk kahvesi is widely drunk across Turkey and is a right ceremonial thing too.

And usually very sweet and the grinds are allowed to settle at the bottom of the cup

A Turkish coffee in parts of Cyprus doesn't go down too well either.

it isn't turkish coffee they are selling there, it's just an automated coffee machine selling latte, americano etc. we tried it and it wasn't that great to be honest even by machine standards it was very weak.


on the plus side this is the first time i've been in this shop in a long time, i really liked the previous owners and they always had good quality and interesting bits in there, but the new people seem to have ramped it all up a notch, theres a great selection of pastry/turkish bread type things in there and a lot of nice fruit and veg.

When it was Andreas's it was a Greek shop and was owned by relatives of a guy I used to work with in Telecoms.


It is a great place and is indeed a rare example of a LL business actually flogging decent stuff.

Very helpful and friendly and unpretentious.

P.S. Bet no one comments on Foxy being positive.

To be fair Foxy, there's a lot of places on LL flogging decent stuff food wise but it's mainly on the mid-upper scale price wise i think we are pretty lucky with range, if only we had a decent asian supermarket like the one in Peckham i'd be happy. Non-food wise i never shop in LL

Yes I agree, I hadn't been in there for ages but I went in recently and was really impressed by the good selection of stuff they had.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
